Frequently Asked Questions
QDo I need a separate electrician or can you coordinate with my builders?
We work seamlessly with builders, plumbers, and decorators. We can schedule around other trades and ensure all coordination is smooth.
QHow much space do I need around the electric shower?
Electric showers typically require 40A dedicated circuits. Space varies, but we'll assess your installation and advise on any consumer unit upgrade needed.
QCan I use the bathroom while work is in progress?
During the first fix phase (cable installation), the bathroom may be inaccessible. Once testing is complete, you can use it normally. We'll discuss timing during planning.
QWhat about condensation and mould in the bathroom?
Proper extractor fan installation is critical. We install humidity-sensitive fans that automatically run longer if moisture levels are high, preventing damp and mould.
QCan you install an electric cooker if I only have single-phase supply?
Yes, single-phase cookers up to 13kW are common. For larger cookers or three-phase, we'll assess your supply and advise on upgrade options.
QDo you include plastering and decorating?
We handle making good minor damage. For significant re-plastering or decorating, we provide separate quotations.
