Frequently asked questions

We strongly advise you move out due to health and safety. A full rewire is very disruptive and messy. 

It would be a massive help to us if you can move furniture to the centre of the room away from the walls so we can lift carpets but leave a small space enough for step ladders to access the light. Box up all your belongings and store them in a garage or shed if possible. If this isn’t an option then you can put the boxes on top of your bed. Anything that is too big to move yourself we are happy to move this for you on the day we arrive.

No, we will supply all dust sheets but you are more than welcome to use your own.

This is a possibility depending on what other cable routes we have for that room. This can be discussed while surveying your home.

This is a legal requirement now following the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower in London. The legislation came into affect in February 2021.

The standard requires:

• One smoke alarm installed in the room most frequently used for general daytime living purposes
• One smoke alarm in every circulation space on each storey, such as hallways and landing.
  One heat alarm installed in every kitchen

All alarms should be ceiling mounted and interlinked. There is also a requirement for carbon monoxide detectors to be fitted where there is a carbon-fuelled appliance (such as boilers, fires (including open fires), heaters and stoves) or a flue.

No this is not a problem although we may have to take some tiles off to install sockets above the worktop.

Yes all our work comes with a 12 month warranty on labour and materials. Our customers are also cover with the NICEIC 6 year platinum promise.

Yes any carpets we lift we will put back down although once lifted they are never 100%. You may need a carpet fitter to stretch and staple the carpet back down.
