Finished off this cracking piece of LED lighting for this skylight at night. Will look even better once the walls are decorated.

A customer had some great ideas for these kitchen shelves, it was really cool to work with his carpenter to make them a reality!

The shelves are recycled from his old kitchen work surface and the driver and hand-wave switches are entirely hidden within the thickness of the shelf.

It was very fiddly work with little room for manoeuvre, but we thrive on a challenge!

Final job polished off this week on a Friday afternoon. A nice IP66 COB LED strip in aluminium profile. Done working with Taylor’s Construction Cardiff who did the landscaping & patio.

Braved climbing the roof & spent a sweaty day in a loft fitting this chonky extraction fan in a HMO we rewired recently. The fan is fed by ducts from 4 en-suites, the duct in the loft is insulated to prevent condensation in winter and vented out of a roof vent.

Had a great time upgrading an EV charge point in Dinas Powys this week. The old charger wasn’t up to modern regulations with no internet connection. If your charger is around 10 years old it may be worth an upgrade!

Bathroom extract fan on a triple pole switch, operated by a fish key so it’s not accidentally turned off by guests. Also a good option for landlords who want the fan to stay switched on!

Tired of scrubbing black mold? 🧼🚫

Black mold isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a sign your home is struggling to breathe. If you’re constantly cleaning it off only for it to return, your ventilation is failing you.

But "fitting a fan" isn't the only answer anymore. Ventilation has evolved, and the new tech is designed to kill the damp for good.

Stop treating the symptoms and start fixing the cause.

How do you test to see if an electric fence is working after you fixed it?...
