Accredited trades,coordinated by us,certified at handover

Scope covers full and partial rewires, new consumer units with RCD or RCBO protection, additional circuits for extensions and loft conversions, kitchen and utility circuits, outdoor and garden room supplies in armoured cable, EV charge point supplies where required, smoke and heat alarm systems interlinked as building regulations require, and lighting design from downlights and pendants to under-cabinet and external lighting.

Cable routes, socket heights and switch positions are set out at first fix. Testing and certification are carried out by the NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician who did the work, and their certificate is issued directly to you. Notifiable electrical work is also picked up in the building control process for the project as a whole.

Plumbing work covers hot and cold supply pipework, bathroom and kitchen installation, waste and soil connections, shower pumps and pressure considerations, outside taps and appliance connections. Waste routing and fall are planned at design stage, particularly for loft en-suites and relocated bathrooms where the route to the existing stack drives what is possible.

Heating covers radiator layouts sized for the rooms being added, underfloor heating in extensions and new builds, cylinder and boiler replacement or upgrade where the existing unit cannot serve the extra load, and system flushing where old pipework joins new. Gas work, boilers, hobs, meters and supply pipework, is carried out only by Gas Safe registered engineers, who certify their own work.

These trades are delivered inside our extension, loft conversion, refurbishment and new build contracts rather than as separate appointments you manage. We hold the programme, so first fix happens when walls are open, inspections happen before they are closed, and second fix lands in the right week.

Where a project is purely a services upgrade, a rewire in an empty house, a bathroom replacement, a heating upgrade, get in touch with the scope and we will tell you whether it fits our programme.

Services are the trades most affected by decisions taken weeks earlier. Where a bathroom can go depends on the route to the existing soil stack and the fall available. Whether a kitchen island can have a hob or sink depends on running services through the floor structure. Whether a loft en-suite works depends on pressure and waste. All of those are design-stage questions, which is why we resolve them on the drawings rather than on site.

At first fix we walk the open rooms with you: socket positions and heights, switch locations, lighting layout and zones, TV and data points, extract positions, radiator or underfloor zones, and where the boiler or cylinder will live. Half an hour at that point prevents the two most common regrets on a finished project, sockets in the wrong place and lighting that cannot be controlled sensibly.

Existing installations are assessed before they are extended. An original consumer unit with no spare ways or no current protection is not a base to build on, and an undersized boiler will not serve extra rooms and bathrooms however good the new radiators are. The accredited electrician or Gas Safe engineer inspects and advises, and their work is tested and certified by them at completion.
