The preferred electricians for homes and businesses.

Only licensed electricians are authorised to conduct electrical installations or alterations under the Electrical Safety Act 2002 and the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013. Regulations cover tasks such as installing new electrical wiring, adding power points, installing light fittings, and similar electrical installations. Attempting to do electrical work without the necessary qualifications and licence is not only illegal but also poses serious safety risks.

If you are considering any electrical work in your home, it is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician who can assess the requirements and carry out the work safely and in compliance with regulations. Always prioritise safety and compliance to avoid legal consequences and, more importantly, to ensure the well-being of yourself and others in your household.

It is best to use a licensed electrician to install your oven as it will likely involve wiring and connections, which would make it a regulated electrical installation. Additionally, you are avoiding undue risk and even possible fatality when leaving all electrical work to the professionals. Not only do they have a solid understanding of electrical safety and requirements, but they also have the experience to be intuitive to potential hazards or electrical risks. This can avoid things like electrocution or fires.

The cost of an electrical rewiring project can vary a lot depending on a variety of factors including the size, wiring complexity, accessibility of wiring routes, and specific electrical needs of your property. Regional disparities and variations in service provider levels can also play a role in determining the overall expense.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets, known as Residual Current Devices (RCDs), are a fundamental requirement in bathrooms electrical installations. These devices are mandated for all power outlets in bathrooms, cutting off power if a fault is detected, providing protection against electric shock. 

The placement of electrical switches and outlets is carefully regulated to minimise water contact risks, ensuring that they are positioned away from water sources and strictly avoiding installation within the shower or bathtub space. Lighting fixtures must possess the appropriate Ingress Protection (IP) rating for wet areas, and the use of ventilation fans is mandated to control moisture levels. Specific zones are designated within bathrooms, each with distinct requirements for the installation of electrical appliances, emphasising the importance of compliance with these regulations to mitigate potential electrical hazards.
