Domestic electrical installation covers every new circuit and accessory added to a home — from a single outdoor socket to the complete first-fix of an extension. We design, install and test the work to BS 7671 (the 18th edition wiring regulations), certify it, and self-notify Building Control where the law requires it. What it is Installation of new electrical circuits, accessories and fixed equipment in a private dwelling. Includes sockets, lighting circuits, kitchen ring finals, cooker circuits, garden and outbuilding power, EV-ready feeds, smart switching, extractors, heated towel rails and underfloor heating wiring. Who it's for Homeowners, landlords, self-builders, kitchen and bathroom fitters, extension builders and renovators across Kidlington, Oxford, Witney, Banbury and Bicester who need new electrical work installed properly — first time, certified, and signed off without chasing the paperwork. When it's needed When you’re extending, renovating a kitchen or bathroom, replacing a tired consumer unit, adding garden power, fitting a home-office, upgrading lighting, or any time a non-electrician has reached the limit of legal DIY (which under Part P of the Building Regulations is much sooner than most people think). Why professional Notifiable electrical work installed by a non-registered person is a criminal offence under Part P, invalidates your home insurance, and is flagged immediately on any future EICR or sale survey. A NAPIT installer can self-certify, lodge the work with Building Control, and protect both the warranty and the resale value of the property. Why It Matters ## Cheap installs cost more — usually twice. Every week we’re asked to put right work done by a relative, a handyman or a price-only quote. The pattern is the same: missing certificates, undersized cable, no RCD protection, and a homeowner left to argue with their insurer. If you ignore it - Failed EICR on resale or remortgage — the cheap install becomes a £900 remedial bill at the worst possible moment. - Invalidated home insurance after an electrical fire if Part P notification was skipped. - Tripping circuits and burnt-out accessories from undersized cable, especially on kitchen rings and induction hobs. - No RCD protection on socket circuits — non-compliant since 2008 and dangerous in any wet area. - Building Control retrospective certification fees of £300–£600 plus a registered electrician’s test before sign-off. Common mistakes - Letting a kitchen fitter ‘pop in’ a new ring main instead of bringing in a registered electrician at first fix. - Hiding a junction box behind plasterboard — non-accessible joints fail at EICR and create heat traps. - Re-using old twin-and-earth without checking cross-sectional area against the new appliance load. - Skipping the test certificate to save £80 — then losing £8,000 off the sale price when the buyer’s surveyor flags it. - Choosing the cheapest quote without checking the trader is on the NAPIT, NAPIT or ELECSA register. Our Process ## Five steps from first call to certificate. Every domestic install — large or small — runs through the same five-stage system. It keeps the price honest, the work tidy, and the paperwork in your inbox before we leave site. 1. 01 ### Free same-day survey Our electrician attends, measures up and discusses options on site. No charge, no obligation, no pressure to commit on the day. 2. 02 ### Written fixed-price quote You receive an itemised, fixed-price quote by email — every accessory, cable run and notification fee listed. Honest pricing, no day-rate creep. 3. 03 ### Booked installation We agree a date that suits the household. Dust sheets down, cables run cleanly, sockets and switches set perfectly plumb to existing detailing. 4. 04 ### Full test & verification Continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earth-fault loop impedance and RCD test on every new circuit — written on the Installation Certificate. 5. 05 ### Certificate & Building Control sign-off NAPIT Installation Certificate issued and Part P notification lodged with the local authority. PDF in your inbox before we close the van door. The Benefits ## What you actually get from a NAPIT install. Not a list of slogans — six concrete outcomes you can point to next time a buyer’s surveyor, an insurer or a future electrician asks the question. ### Speed without shortcuts Most domestic installs are quoted same-day and fitted within the week — without skipping testing or notification. ### Safety to current regs Every circuit RCD/RCBO protected, every accessory torque-checked, every cable run sized against the actual load. ### Longevity built in Quality MK, Hager and Wago components. No supermarket sockets, no twist-and-tape joints — work that outlasts the next decade of homeowners. ### Cost savings on resale A clean Installation Certificate adds documented value at sale and removes the easiest negotiation lever a buyer’s surveyor has. ### Insurance-proof paperwork Part P notification on file with your local council — proof for your insurer if a claim ever arises. ### Peace of mind Personal aftercare. If a switch develops a fault in year two, we still pick up the phone — no ticket queue, no subcontractor. Specifics & Detail ## What domestic installation actually involves. Most homeowners only see the faceplate. The work behind it is governed by BS 7671:2018+A2:2022, Part P of the Building Regulations, the IET On-Site Guide, and manufacturer instructions for every accessory. Here’s what that means in practice. ### Materials we install - Quality branded sockets and switches matched to your interior - Hager & Wylex 18th-edition consumer units (RCBO per circuit) - Wago lever-nut junction connectors (accessible boxes only) - 6491X singles, 6242Y twin-and-earth, FP200 fire-rated where required - Aurora & Collingwood IP65 LED downlights (fire-rated for ceilings) - Click Scolmore weatherproof outdoor sockets & IP66 garden lights ### Methods & standards Every cable run is clipped or contained in conduit, never loose in voids. Joints sit in accessible boxes or maintenance-free Wago enclosures — never buried in plaster. Final connections are torque-screwdriver tightened, polarity verified, and the whole circuit insulation-tested at 500V before energising. Test results are written on the certificate in your name. ### Variations of the service - Single accessory add — outdoor socket, USB outlet, garden light - New circuit install — kitchen ring, cooker, immersion, EV-ready - Lighting refurb — LED downlight retrofit, two-way switching - First-fix of an extension or loft conversion - Home-office & data — sockets, CAT6, dedicated lighting - Smart home — Lutron, Hive, Shelly, retrofit dimmers ### Where this service applies Kitchen refurbishments, bathroom and en-suite refits, extensions, loft conversions, garden offices and outbuildings, rental property turnarounds between tenancies, post-EICR remedial work, new-build snagging, and any time a homeowner wants the work done once, properly, with paperwork. Residential Domestic installs use 17th/18th-edition consumer units with RCBO protection per circuit, twin-and-earth wiring, MK or Hager accessories, and Part P notification through the NAPIT self-cert scheme. Disruption is kept to one room at a time and dust sheets go down on every visit. Commercial Commercial installs use SWA cabling, three-phase distribution boards, metal-clad accessories, and emergency lighting where required. Work is phased around trading hours, with EICR and emergency-lighting test certificates produced for insurance and lease compliance. See our commercial installation page for detail.
