Kitchen rewire and full electrical overhaul on a property in Looe, Cornwall ⚡

The existing kitchen circuit was completely replaced as part of a wider renovation - counter sockets, appliance outlets with hidden isolators, dedicated hob and oven supplies, and six recessed warm white downlights with a pendant over the dining area. Utility and larder got slim bulkhead lights too.

Alongside the kitchen, the consumer unit was relocated to the utility room - new 15-way RCBO board with integrated surge protection fitted, supply brought in via SWA cabling from the meter on the exterior wall. Dedicated circuits run for the air source heat pump and immersion heater, heat pump system commissioned and ready to go. Chimney breast socket added in the living room and an IP-rated socket on the front exterior. Everything tested and certified.

Smoke and heat alarm replacements at a house in St Agnes 🔥

Swapped out four mains-powered smoke alarms across the ground and first floors, plus replaced the kitchen alarm with a heat alarm - a much better fit for that environment than a standard smoke alarm. All units are hardwired and interlinked, so if one goes off, they all go off.

Existing wiring and interlink cables were reused, with new bases fitted alongside the new heads throughout.

Smoke alarm and fire detection upgrade at a lodge property in Liskeard. 🔥

Repositioned and replaced the main area alarm with a combined heat and carbon monoxide unit, then installed mains-powered smoke alarms in all three bedrooms. Power for the master bedroom alarm was run from the fan isolator through the cupboard space in trunking - bedrooms 2 and 3 were fed via unswitched fused spurs off the existing TV sockets.

All four alarms are wirelessly interlinked via RF modules, so if one triggers, they all go. Same setup duplicated across two lodge units on site.

⚡ Bodmin - loft lighting rectification and a bathroom extractor fan replacement.

The original loft lighting had been damaged during boarding work, so we stripped it out and put in two 4ft LED batten fittings - one at each end of the loft to get proper coverage across the whole space rather than one light leaving half of it in shadow. Swapped out the switch at the same time.

The bathroom fan was overdue a change too. New unit wired to run off the bathroom lighting circuit with a timer overrun, and we cleared out the ducting before fitting so it's actually moving air properly from the off.

Two jobs, tidy result.

🔧 Good day's work at a property in Helston - a fair few bits to get through across the house and garage.

Replaced a faulty immersion heater timeclock, installed a pair of LED batten lights in the garage with two-way switching from both entry points, reinstated a disconnected garage socket as a new surface-mounted double, upgraded a 3-gang switch to a 4-gang to separate the exterior and porch lighting circuits, and swapped out a couple of faulty socket outlets inside the house. Also replaced two pendant light fittings in the dining room while we were at it.

🌙 Garden lighting scheme at a property in Liskeard.

Wall lights and step lights fitted through the timber cladding on the boundary fencing and stair risers, with galvanised downlighters across the planting borders. All connected via SWA cabling with junction boxes hidden behind the cladding. PIR sensors and an IP-rated switch for automatic and override control of the rear garden lighting.

We've been busy running the first fix electrics on this new build up in Bodmin ⚡️

We are currently getting all the initial wiring sorted before the plasterboard goes up. The job involves pulling cables through the metal web joists and stud walls for a fairly detailed lighting setup, including prep for LED strip lighting along the vaulted ceilings and recessed downlights throughout. We are also running the necessary supplies for en-suite towel rails, toothbrush chargers, and the external waste plant outside. Good to get the bare bones of the system in place.

Installed some new exterior lighting on this property in Newquay. The client supplied these great traditional lantern style lights for either side of the front door. We got them wired up and added a PIR motion sensor up high on the soffit to control them automatically as you walk up the path. We also swapped out the hallway switch for a 2 gang version so they have the option to override the sensor when they want the lights kept on. 💡

🔌 Spent a day over in Newquay carrying out an EICR on a property that turned out to have a bit more going on than the eight circuits we were expecting. Found a second consumer unit tucked away with another three circuits feeding parts of the house, so we widened the testing to take those in as well.

The place runs a Loxone system, so all those circuits had to be isolated before any dead testing went ahead, as the insulation resistance test would make short work of extra low voltage control gear. We also looked into an RCD that had been tripping on the client, traced it back to an earth fault and found suspected water ingress behind it.

Later on we added a mains smoke alarm in a second floor cupboard that's being used as a plant room, taking the supply from the nearby lighting switch and running it in white PVC trunking up behind the doorframe and across the ceiling. The alarm sits as high as the sloping ceiling allows with a 300mm gap off the walls. The idea was to link it wirelessly to the alarm out in the hallway using RF modules, but the hallway unit was an older version with no slot for the chip, so that got swapped for a current model. Both paired up first time and sounded together on test.
