EICR Inspection

“I'm based in Colchester and have been trying to find a good electrician that I can trust to complete an EICR on my property, following a bad experience with another company. After initially speaking with Elise for a quote, I felt at ease and the service provided was excellent. Highly professional and trustworthy.”

Solar PV Installation

“Can I say a big thank you to you for such a great job. We had 24 panels over three aspects of our rather difficult roof - being 100 year old converted bungalow the roof tiles were a little bit of a pain. The team handled it brilliantly and the solar skirts really finished the install off beautifully.”

“Excellent Emergency Electrician over Xmas. I had a complicated issue with a solar inverter cutting the supply to the house. Smart attended and worked their way through the issue and made a temporary repair to get us through Christmas. Andre was fantastic - highly recommend.”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about socket and lighting installation in Essex

The cost varies depending on the number of sockets, their location, and whether new circuits are needed. A single additional socket spur from an existing circuit typically costs £80–£150. Multiple sockets on a new dedicated circuit cost £200–£500 depending on cable runs. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after assessing your requirements — and we'll always advise the most cost-effective approach for your specific situation.

Yes — we can install surface-mounted sockets using mini-trunking or conduit where chasing isn't practical or desired. This is particularly useful in older properties, rented accommodation, or where you want to avoid replastering. We'll discuss the best options for your property during the initial consultation to minimise disruption and cost. Where chasing is required, we fill and make good as part of the job.

Most socket installations are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. As NAPIT-registered electricians, we are authorised to self-certify our work and handle all Building Control notification on your behalf — you don't need to do anything separately. You'll receive a Minor Works Certificate or Electrical Installation Certificate as appropriate, which is essential for insurance, mortgage purposes, and future property sales.

A single additional socket can typically be installed in 1–2 hours. Multiple sockets in one room usually take half a day. A new dedicated circuit with multiple sockets throughout a property typically takes a full day. We'll give you an accurate timeframe when we provide your quote, and we always aim to complete the work in a single visit.

Absolutely — USB sockets are one of our most popular requests across Essex. We install modern USB-A and USB-C combination sockets that provide standard 13A power outlets alongside fast-charging USB ports. These are perfect for bedrooms, kitchens, home offices, and living rooms. We can supply and fit a wide range of styles and finishes to match your existing décor.

We install weatherproof outdoor sockets with appropriate IP ratings (typically IP44 or IP65) for garden use. These are ideal for lawnmowers, pressure washers, power tools, outdoor lighting, and garden features. Outdoor sockets must be on an RCD-protected circuit for safety — we ensure all outdoor electrical work meets current BS 7671 requirements. We can also install outdoor socket posts and bollards for larger gardens.

Yes — we install additional lighting points throughout Essex properties, including ceiling pendants, spotlights, downlights, wall lights, and under-cabinet lighting. We can add to existing lighting circuits or install new dedicated circuits where required. We also install dimmer switches, motion sensors, and smart lighting controls. All lighting installation work is fully certified and Building Control notified where required.

Yes, all our electrical work comes with full certification. Minor additions receive a Minor Works Certificate; new circuits receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC). All certification is provided as standard — essential for insurance, landlord compliance, and future property sales. We also handle Building Control notification under Part P on your behalf.

Yes — we install lighting points and wiring infrastructure compatible with smart home systems including Philips Hue, Lutron, Legrand, and other leading brands. This includes installing the correct wiring for smart switches, dimmer modules, and smart lighting controls. We work with smart home installers across Essex and can coordinate our electrical work with their system installation.

The number of sockets you can add to an existing circuit depends on the circuit's current load and the cable size. A standard 32A ring main circuit can typically accommodate additional spurs, but there are limits. We always assess the existing circuit before adding sockets to ensure it's not overloaded. If the existing circuit is already at capacity, we'll install a new dedicated circuit — which is often the better long-term solution anyway.

Yes — we install electrical supplies and socket outlets in garages, workshops, garden offices, and outbuildings across Essex. This typically involves running a new circuit from the main consumer unit, installing a sub-distribution board in the outbuilding, and fitting the required sockets, lighting, and any specialist circuits. All outbuilding electrical work must meet BS 7671 requirements for external installations and is fully certified.

We provide socket and lighting installation services across all of Essex including Chelmsford, Colchester, Basildon, Southend-on-Sea, Brentwood, Harlow, Braintree, Maldon, Witham, and over 50 other towns and villages. We offer fast response times throughout the county and can usually attend within 1–2 days for non-urgent work. Contact us for a free quote.
