What it is
Not every job is a rewire. Our NICEIC-registered electricians take on the everyday maintenance, repairs and upgrades that keeps a home safe and working: extra sockets, new lighting, kitchen and bathroom electrics, fuse board changes and fault finding.
Every repair and upgrade gets the same care as a big project: boots off or overshoes on, dust sheets down, tidy work, testing and the right certificate at the end.
Our electricians are based in Ivybridge and look after homes across Plymouth, the South Hams and South Devon, from fault finding and one-off repairs to EICRs and regular upkeep.
Who it suits
- Homeowners with a list of jobs around the house
- Anyone with tripping, flickering or dead circuits
- Kitchen and bathroom refits
- Landlords and holiday-let owners
- Buyers settling into a new home
Why it’s worth it
The benefits
NICEIC-registered

The price you agree is the price you pay
You get a clear, itemised estimate, usually within 5 working days of the survey, and the price you agree is the price you pay.
What we do
What we’re asked for most
If it’s not on the list, just ask. If it’s electrical and in your home, we can usually help.
Fault finding and repairs
Tripping RCDs, flickering lights, dead sockets or a burning smell? We trace the cause with proper testing, fix it for good and make sure everything is safe before we leave.
If something smells hot or is sparking, switch it off at the fuse board if it’s safe to do so and get it checked before using it again.
Extra sockets, USB and outdoor sockets
More sockets where you actually need them, USB sockets by the bed or desk, and weatherproof outdoor sockets for the garden, all wired and protected to current regulations.
Lighting, inside and out
New ceiling lights, downlights, under-cabinet and feature lighting, dimmers, outdoor and security lighting. We help you plan where it goes and what it’s controlled by.
Kitchen electrics
New kitchens need the right circuits for ovens, hobs and appliances, plus sockets and lighting in the right places. We work with your kitchen fitter so first fix happens before the walls are finished and second fix slots in at the end.
Bathroom electrics
Bathrooms have their own rules because water and electricity don’t mix. We fit lighting, extractor fans, shaver sockets, heated towel rails and electric shower circuits with the right protection and suitably rated fittings for each zone.
Fuse board (consumer unit) changes
Old boards with fuse wire, no RCD protection or a failed EICR? We replace consumer units to current regulations, test every circuit and certify the work.
Smoke and heat alarms
Mains-powered, interlinked smoke and heat alarms, fitted where they’ll do their job.
EICRs and safety checks
Need an Electrical Installation Condition Report for a let, a sale or peace of mind? That has its own page. See EICR & PAT testing.
Typical prices
How we price repairs and odd jobs
For jobs where the time is hard to pin down but should be a few hours, an hourly rate is the fairest and most honest way to price them.
Fuse board prices can be less for small boards (for example a flat with about 4 circuits), and more for multiple boards, earthing upgrades or larger 15–20-way boards.
A site survey report is optional. Quotes are still free.
All prices are exclusive of VAT.
Prices are a guide and subject to a site survey, or photos you send us, so we can give you an accurate quote.
Quotes are always free. Send us a few photos and we can usually give you a reasonably accurate quote without a visit, so there’s no need to take time off work or wait in for us.

BS 7671 – the wiring regulations
The UK standard for electrical installations. Every repair and upgrade is designed, installed and tested to it.
Part P of the Building Regulations
Some home electrical work must be notified, including new circuits, a new fuse board and some work in bathrooms. As NICEIC-registered installers we notify it for you.

FAQs
Common questions
Do you take on single repairs and quick jobs?
Yes, we do, and no job is too small! From one faulty socket to a list of jobs around the house, we’ll give you the same tidy, certified work as on a big project.
Can you do a few jobs in one visit?
Yes, and it usually makes sense! Send us your list when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit so everything is sorted in one go where we can.
Can you help with my new kitchen or bathroom?
Yes, absolutely! We work alongside your fitter so the electrics go in at the right stages, and we certify everything at the end.
Will I get a certificate for a repair or upgrade?
Yes, you will! Most repairs and upgrades come with a Minor Works Certificate, and anything that needs Part P notification is notified for you.
Do you do EICRs too?
Yes, we do! Landlord, sale and peace-of-mind EICRs have their own page. See EICR & PAT testing.
