Heres a pic of Rob in the barn. We provided an electricity supply, and designed and installed the whole system. It contained a three phase commercial board for those of you who wanted to know. The brief from the customer was to be very discreet, not showing any cables or accessories the switches and sockets. We used hessian sacks which were on site to cover the cables that were visible and we matched some of the cable using black and brown sprays. We also sourced black accessories. The end result was a very satisfied customer who even got us back for a few other jobs.

Here is Rob under the floor carrying out the installation of outside electrical sockets and a supply to a home office. The installation required us to hide the cables under the outside decking area and install outside sockets in the garden aswell as provide a supply to a home office at the end of the garden.

We were called to take a look and give advice on the smell of burning coming from the fuse board. When we took the lid off the board we found this The customer had a lucky escape The fuse board had almost caught fire due to a loose connection. We carried out a full inspection and test of the property and replaced the fuse board with a new up to date 17th edition board. All is now safe and sound for our customer in Canterbury.

Here we are installing low energy LED downlights for a customer in Maidstone.

We were called by a customer who had been told that their kitchen socket had no earth. They asked us to find the problem for them as they had been advised it could be very serious, as the socket had a metal decorative front and they could get a shock After some investigation work with our inspection camera this is what we found Whoever had carried out this work, not only got the connections wrong but they were also loose This type of thing could be lurking inside your walls or could be about to be carried out on a job for you by someone wanting to do you a favour, or simply doesnt know this is NOT OK Dont leave it to chance, if your in any doubt give us a call. 01227360263
