If the consumer unit is in a communal hallway we need that door open before we start testing or changing the board. ### We do the work we priced Fault finding and repair starts from £75 an hour. Socket work starts from £85. A consumer unit replacement starts from £450. Out of hours emergency electrician work starts from £90 an hour. We isolate the circuit, complete the job, and we do not add extras unless you ask for them while we are there. ### We leave the paperwork An EICR, a minor works certificate from £95, or the certificate that belongs with a board change, rewire, EV charger or fire alarm goes with you before we leave. NAPIT is the scheme we work under for that paperwork. ## Why customers in Wivenhoe book Lighting Electrical We give a written price first, Lighting Electrical remains responsible for the work, and we leave the certificate at the end. Lighting Electrical is NAPIT registered for the notifiable work we take on. ## Recent electrical jobs in Wivenhoe Recent visits have covered EICRs on let houses, board changes in High Street conversions, lighting on Station Road and charger quotes on Vine Farm Road where a driveway exists. ## Electrician questions in Wivenhoe These are the questions we hear on The Quay, High Street, Alma Street and Broome Grove. ### How much does an EICR cost in Wivenhoe? An EICR, the electrical safety report on the fixed wiring, starts from £150. Let property in England needs that inspection at least every five years. Flats that share circuits may need access to more than one door. ### Can you fit an EV charger on The Quay? A 7.4kW home charger starts from £750. Waterfront streets without off-street parking rule out a charge point, whatever spare capacity the supply has. If you have a driveway on Vine Farm Road, Broome Grove or Wivenhoe Cross we can quote the install. ### How much is a new fuse board? Consumer unit replacement starts from £450. In conversions the consumer unit is often in a communal hallway, so somebody has to open it on the day. We include that access in the plan before we book the visit. ### What does a house rewire start at? House rewiring starts from £2,400. Solid-walled terraces near The Quay have no loft to run cables through, so routes are planned before work starts. Streets with lofts such as Rectory Road are a different job and we price them as they are. ### Do you do lighting and small jobs? Yes. Downlights are from £65 per fitting, light switches or dimmers from £60, sockets from £85, smoke and heat alarms from £110, extractor fans from £180 and electric showers from £220. Commercial lighting is also from £65 per fitting. ### What if something fails at night? Out of hours emergency electrician work starts from £90 an hour. Fault finding and repair in hours starts from £75 an hour. We answer the phone at any time. Booked follow-up work stays in opening hours. ### Can you test appliances and emergency lights? PAT testing starts from £95. An emergency lighting test and certificate starts from £150. Fire alarm system installation starts from £1,400. We do this for homes, shops and small commercial units in Wivenhoe. ### Do you fit solar, batteries or Starlink? Solar panel installation starts from £5,500.
