House rules

Why blind quotes fail on electrics: An EV charger or consumer unit upgrade depends directly on earthing arrangements (TN-S, TN-C-S, TT) and main bonding to water and gas supplies. Reviewing photos of your board and meter first prevents unexpected variations on the day.
EICR inspection rigor: Every circuit is tested with calibrated multifunction instruments: insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, and RCD trip times. We classify defects strictly according to C1, C2, and C3 codes without scare tactics or manufactured upselling.
Clean domestic working: Protective floor runners are rolled out before tools are unpacked. All wall chasing and masonry drilling connects directly to M-class dust extraction vacuums to keep stone and plaster dust out of living rooms.

From enquiry to signed-off work

Photo review & supply check You upload a photo of your fuseboard with the outer lid closed, plus your incoming meter and supply fuse.
Clear written estimate Cal calculates cable run lengths, earthing requirements, and specifies the exact components in a written quote.
Dust-controlled installation Work proceeds using protective floor runners, tool extraction, and neat cable routing through floor voids.
Instrument testing & certificate Every circuit is tested with multifunction testers, and your digital compliance certificate is emailed within 24 hours.

Asked at the counter

How do I photograph my fuseboard safely?

Keep the hinged outer door closed and never unscrew any cover plates. Stand back about one metre in good lighting so the main switch, all circuit switches, and surrounding meter cables are visible in a single photo.

How long does an EICR take on a 3-bed house?

Typically between two and three hours. Power is isolated circuit-by-circuit for short testing intervals so freezers and heating systems are not disrupted.

What happens if my installation fails the EICR?

The report will itemise any immediate hazards (Code C1) or potential dangers (Code C2). Cal explains each observation clearly with photographic evidence and provides a separate quote for remedial work without obligation.

Can my existing 60A main fuse support a 7.4kW EV charger?

We calculate maximum demand under diversity rules. If a supply fuse upgrade to 80A or 100A is needed, we liaise with Northern Powergrid on your behalf to request the free fuse upgrade before installation.
