If you have plans for refurbishment or renovation projects in Reading, there’s every chance you’ll need electricians to provide you with Electrical Installation Condition Reports. JSH Electrical Services, from Woking, can help in this respect and support its reporting with full and partial house rewires, consumer unit upgrades and a broader range of solutions which we tailor to the needs of our customers and clients.
We even fit EV charging points.
During refurbishments and renovations, homeowners in Reading will use a variety of different tradesmen. Electricians play an important role in the 1st-fix and 2nd-fix stages, working around building contractors at various stages of the project. We conduct Electrical Installation Condition Reports prior to work starting, strip out cables and run new wiring during the 1st-fix phase, then connect everything during the 2nd-fix stage.
Full house rewires are more common during major renovation projects whereas partial house rewires tend to be more related to smaller refurbishments. If you have an old fuse box, we may recommend one of our consumer unit upgrades. Newer units have circuit breakers and RCDs instead of ceramic fuses.
Customers and clients in Reading who drive electric vehicles can benefit from the installation of EV charging points which work out cheaper to run than public facilities, especially when used on a low-cost overnight energy tariff. Add in the convenience of having a charger to hand immediately and not having to use public facilities at night, and it’s easy to see why using our electricians is such an informed choice.
Electrical refurbishments and renovations present a series of challenges and need intelligent design, professional standards of installation and safe commissioning. The electricians at JSH Electrical Services make energy efficiency a focus during major works, integrating smart control systems and undertaking consumer board upgrades so that utility costs stay under tighter control and your home is a much safer place to live.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports are also important to landlords in the Reading area who are refurbishing or renovating a property with a view to letting, or if a current property is in the process of changing hands to new tenants.
Full house rewires might be necessary based on our findings in the Electrical Installation Condition Report.
With consumer unit upgrades, we will put in a new installation if the older one has plastic casing. New consumer units have metal casing or cladding, and this makes them more resistant to fire. Installations comply with the 18th version of the IET Wiring Regulations, the regulatory standard for BS 7671.
EV charging points might be considered a luxury to some but, if you are already using our electricians as part of a refurbishment or renovation project, it makes good financial sense to have a charging point fitted at the same time. This makes the overall program of works easier for our team to organise, cheaper to complete and less disruptive for clients.
If you need our electricians to assist you with your property, pick up the phone and call JSH Electrical Services today.
