We arrive, do the work, then leave the certificate with you. ### Arrival and the written price We pull up near the house or unit and walk the job with you. We confirm the written price, isolate the circuit we are working on, and clear the porch or under-stairs cupboard if the board is there. For a rewire we walk the cable run on the walls first. For an EICR We list every board, socket and accessory we will open. ### The work itself We fit the consumer unit, chase or clip the new cables, swap sockets and switches, hang lights, connect a cooker, shower, fan or EV charger, or test the circuits. Fault finding starts at the board, then follows the live and dead tests until the break is found. Out of hours emergency work is the same sequence, billed from £90 an hour. ### Certificate before we leave We restore power, show you the new board or the repaired circuit, and hand over the EICR, minor works certificate or installation certificate. PAT testing leaves a pass or fail sticker on each appliance. Fire alarm and emergency lighting tests leave the certificate with the responsible person. Lighting Electrical keeps the job details available for any follow-up. ## Why customers choose Lighting Electrical Brightlingsea customers see the figure first, meet Lighting Electrical on the day, and hold the certificate before the van leaves. The phone is answered at any hour, and booked work runs in opening hours. ## Recent electrical work in Brightlingsea Recent jobs on High Street, Waterside and Church Road include fuse board swaps, EICR visits between tenancies, kitchen lighting, socket adds and a 7.4kW charger on a Colne Road driveway. ## Electrician in Brightlingsea questions Plain answers on price, boards, lets and chargers for Brightlingsea houses and units. ### How much does an EICR cost in Brightlingsea?
