Electrical Installations & Rewiring - Part P competent person - BS 7671 18th Edition - EICR & PAT testing - Fully insured to £5m - Certificates within 24h Service overview ## What's involved in electrical installations & rewiring. Plain-English breakdown, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why it matters before we set foot on site. ### What it is Domestic and small-commercial electrical work, full and partial rewires, consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades, EICR inspections and remedial works, additional sockets and lighting circuits, kitchen and bathroom electrics, EV charger installs, smart lighting, fault-finding, landlord certificates and PAT testing. ### Who it's for Homeowners with a fuse board older than 10 years, landlords needing 5-yearly EICRs to stay compliant with the 2020 Electrical Safety Regulations, EV drivers wanting a 7kW home charger, renovators rewiring kitchens and bathrooms, and anyone who's started tripping circuits without explanation. ### When you need it You can smell burning at a socket, your RCD keeps tripping, light fittings flicker, the fuse board still has rewireable fuses or no RCD protection, your EICR has come back unsatisfactory (C1/C2 codes), or you're starting a renovation and need first-fix electrics in before plastering. ### Why it matters Electrical work is the one trade where a corner cut can kill. Every Spectrum install is designed to BS 7671 18th Edition, tested with calibrated kit, certified by a Part P competent person and notified to Building Control within 30 days, protecting your insurance, your sale value and your family. The cost of doing nothing ## What goes wrong when this is ignored. Bad electrics rarely announce themselves. They hide behind plaster, in loft junction boxes and under floorboards, until the day they don't. ### Risks of waiting - Old rubber-insulated cable (pre-1965) breaks down silently and is the leading cause of UK domestic electrical fires. - Fuse boards without RCD protection won't disconnect supply when a hairdryer faults to earth, that's the shock that stops a heart. - Unsatisfactory EICRs on let property make landlords criminally liable under the 2020 regulations, fines up to £30,000 per breach. - DIY or uncertified work voids your home insurance and stops a property sale at the solicitor's enquiries stage. ### Common mistakes - Trusting a 'mate who does a bit of sparking', work is unnotifiable, uncertified and uninsured. - Topping up a 1990s fuse board with extra breakers instead of replacing it, RCD protection is rarely added properly. - Putting downlights into bathroom Zone 1 without IP65-rated fittings and SELV transformers. - Ignoring nuisance tripping, it's almost always a real fault (water ingress, damaged cable, failing appliance) the RCD is doing its job to catch. Our process ## How the job actually runs. Same system every time. No improvising on your floor. 1. 01 ### Survey & test We inspect existing installation, test where needed, and identify scope honestly, replacing only what needs replacing. 2. 02 ### Fixed written quote Itemised quote within 48 hours covering cable runs, accessories, consumer unit, certification and making-good. No 'extras on the day'. 3. 03 ### First-fix install Cables run neatly through joists and studs, drilled at correct heights, segregated from data and water, all to BS 7671 17th/18th Edition standards. 4. 04 ### Test & certify Full insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, RCD trip times and continuity tests with calibrated Megger kit, recorded on an Electrical Installation Certificate. 5. 05 ### Notify & handover Building Control notified within 30 days via competent-person scheme, certificate emailed to you within 24 hours, and a clear talk-through of your new install. What you get ## The outcomes that matter. ### Certified to current regs Every job designed, installed and verified to BS 7671 18th Edition Amendment 2, the version your insurer and solicitor expect. ### Notified within 30 days Building Control compliance certificate sent to you, protects insurance, smooths future sales, satisfies mortgage surveys. ### Neat first and second fix Cables clipped, segregated and routed; accessories square, level and flush. No bulging back boxes, no exposed earths. ### Faster fault diagnosis Calibrated test kit and a methodical approach finds intermittent faults in hours, not days of trial-and-error. ### Same-week starts Most domestic rewires booked within 7 days, full rewires completed in 3–5 days for a typical 3-bed. ### Guarantee in writing 1-year workmanship guarantee on every circuit, fitting and termination, plus manufacturer warranties on every CU and accessory. In depth ## Everything worth knowing before you book. The details a salesperson skips. Skim it, or read every word, both are useful. Questions on this? Talk to a Spectrum tradesman direct. [07480 485988](tel:+447480485988) ### Full and partial domestic rewires A typical 3-bed Tunbridge Wells rewire is 3–5 days on-site: one day to lift floors and chase walls, two days first-fix (running fresh 2.5mm² ring final circuits, 1.5mm² lighting, 6mm² shower, 10mm² cooker as needed), one day second-fix and certification. We segregate cables from gas and water by 150mm, install metal back boxes on solid walls, dual RCBO consumer units (one breaker per circuit, no shared RCD knock-outs), and full equipotential bonding to gas and water services. ### Consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades Replacing a rewireable or MCB-only board with a modern 18th Edition metal-clad RCBO consumer unit takes 4–6 hours, completed in a single visit. We isolate the supply with the DNO if needed, fit a surge protection device (SPD) as standard from 2022 regs, label every circuit clearly, and re-test the entire installation before re-energising. Certificate within 24 hours. ### EICRs and remedial works Electrical Installation Condition Reports are mandatory every 5 years on rented property and recommended every 10 years on owner-occupied. We carry out the full visual inspection plus dead and live testing across every circuit, coding faults C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous) and C3 (improvement recommended). C1 and C2 issues are quoted for remedial work the same day so landlords can stay compliant without missing tenancy deadlines. ### EV chargers and PV / battery integration 7.4kW home chargers (Zappi, Ohme, Hypervolt, Wallbox) installed in 2–4 hours including dedicated 32A radial circuit, Type A or B RCD protection, separate earth electrode where TT supply requires, and DNO notification. We also tie in solar PV inverters and battery storage (GivEnergy, Tesla Powerwall, FoxESS) with proper isolation, AC and DC protection, and G99 / G100 notification to UK Power Networks. ### Kitchens, bathrooms and outbuildings Kitchen rewires include dedicated circuits for ovens, hobs, dishwashers, fridge-freezers and split-zone sockets to avoid nuisance tripping. Bathroom electrics are designed to BS 7671 Zone classifications, IP65 downlights in Zone 1, shaver sockets only where Zone 2 distances allow, SELV mirror lighting, and supplementary bonding where required. Outbuildings and garden offices get SWA armoured cable buried at 600mm, separate consumer units and full earthing arrangements. Frequently asked ## Straight answers, no fluff.
