We quote in writing before we start. ### We arrive and look at the property We park as close as High Street, South Street or The Walls allow and come in at the time we booked. We look at the consumer unit, the meter, the rooms you named and any outdoor cupboard. On a shared South Street intake we use the access already arranged. On a stepped house towards The Walls we walk each floor. We then confirm the written price for that job, whether it is an EICR from £150, fault work from £75 per hour, a board from £450 or a rewire from £2,400. ### We isolate and do the work We isolate the circuits we are touching and keep the rest of the house on where we can. For a board change the power is off while the new unit goes in. For sockets, switches, downlights, a cooker, a fan, a shower, a smoke alarm or an EV charger we work on the one circuit. On solid wall fronts we pull cable through floors and voids. On Lawford houses we use the loft and the existing modern board when it has the capacity. We tidy as we go so High Street shops can reopen and flats can be lived in the same evening. ### We test and leave the certificate We test the circuits we have worked on and write the certificate before we leave. An EICR is the full report. A new board, a rewire, an EV charger, solar, a fire alarm or a shower gets the matching certificate. Smaller additions get a minor works certificate from £95. We talk through what we found, what we changed and any C2 items that still need a return visit. Payment follows the written quote. ## Why customers choose Lighting Electrical You get clear company responsibility throughout from quote to finish, a written starting price before the work, and the certificate in your hand before we leave. Lighting Electrical is NAPIT registered. Bronze, Silver and Gold maintenance plans take 5, 10 or 15 percent off labour and certificates, with a free safety certificate each year on Bronze and Silver and three a year on Gold, plus next day or same day priority and two emergency call outs a year on Gold. ## Recent electrical work in Manningtree Recent jobs in the town include EICRs on High Street and South Street, board changes in understair cupboards, socket and lighting work in Lawford houses on Coxs Hill and Long Road, outdoor checks on The Walls, and EV chargers on New Road and Wignall Street. ## Electrician in Manningtree questions These are the questions we are asked on High Street, South Street, The Walls and in Lawford. ### How much is an EICR in Manningtree? An EICR starts at £150. That covers the inspection of the consumer unit and the circuits and a written report. Flats above South Street need intake access arranged first. Houses on The Walls include the outdoor fittings and the meter cupboard in the same visit. ### How much does a rewire cost in Manningtree? A house rewire starts at £2,400. On High Street and South Street the cable follows floors and voids because the fronts are solid wall. On houses that step down to The Walls each floor is wired on its own because there is no continuous loft. The written quote follows a walk round. ### Do I need a new fuse board in Lawford? Post war and later houses around Coxs Hill and Long Road normally already have a modern unit. We check spare ways and capacity for an EV charger, shower or extra sockets. A replacement starts at £450 only when the board is dated or damaged. A small addition can be covered by a minor works certificate from £95. ### Can you fit an EV charger in Manningtree? A 7.4kW EV charger starts at £750. Drives off New Road, Coxs Hill, Long Road and Wignall Street are the usual locations. We check the board first. If it has the capacity we add the circuit. If it does not, the board work is quoted separately from £450. ### What does fault finding cost? Fault finding and repair starts at £75 per hour. Out of hours emergency electrician attendance starts at £90 per hour. We answer the phone at any time. Booked work sits in opening hours unless the fault is an emergency. ### Can you connect a cooker or a shower? A cooker or oven connection starts at £120. An electric shower starts at £220. An extractor fan starts at £180. An immersion heater repair starts at £70 per hour. Light switches and dimmers start at £60. Downlights start at £65 per fitting. ### Do you fit alarms and do PAT testing? Smoke and heat alarm installation starts at £110. A fire alarm system starts at £1,400. PAT testing starts at £95.
