The visit follows the same order on a house in Francis Way or a workshop on Sheepcotes Lane. ### Arrival and isolation We arrive, walk the rooms with you, and isolate the circuits we will work on. On a flat roof house we check floor access first. On a Crittall house we check the window reveals before any socket comes off. An EICR starts from £150, with testing beginning at the consumer unit and moving circuit by circuit. ### The work itself We fit the board, chase or trunk as priced, run the new cables, or find the fault. Fault finding from £75 per hour is time on the tools until the circuit is stable. A downlight at £65 per fitting goes in only after we have checked the ceiling. We keep dust down and put furniture back as we go. ### Test and certificate We test the work, restore power, and leave the paperwork. An EICR, a minor works certificate from £95, or an emergency lighting test from £150 is handed over before we leave. You keep the same number for any follow up. ## Why customers choose Lighting Electrical Lighting Electrical remains responsible from the written quote through to certification.

An EICR, the electrical safety report, starts from £150. The starting price covers the inspection and the written report for a typical house. Extra circuits or a large commercial unit are priced on the survey. ### How much does a rewire cost in a Silver End house? House rewiring starts from £2,400. Flat roof houses on Silver Street and Francis Way need under floor runs, which we price after we have seen the voids. Solid wall houses on Broadway may need trunking. The starting price is not a fixed figure for every house. ### How much is a new fuse board? Consumer unit replacement starts from £450. That is the new board and the labour to fit it. Earthing that was never updated with an older board, which is common in this village, is listed on the quote if the test needs it. ### Can you fit an EV charger in the conservation area? A 7.4kW EV charger installation starts from £750. Because Silver End is a conservation area, the visible box and the cable on the elevation are settled with you before we drill. We will say if the drive or the meter position will not take a neat run. ### What does fault finding cost? Fault finding and repair starts from £75 per hour. Out of hours emergency electrician work starts from £90 per hour. We isolate, test, and repair or tell you if a wider rewire is the cheaper long term answer. ### Do you fit lights, sockets and alarms? Downlight installation starts from £65 per fitting. Light switch or dimmer replacement starts from £60. Socket installation or replacement starts from £85. Smoke and heat alarm installation starts from £110.
