A proper, certified install — not a botched-in socket.
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 NICEIC installer can self-certify, lodge the work with Building Control, and protect both the warranty and the resale value of the property.
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.
- 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.
- 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 NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA register.

- 05
Certificate & Building Control sign-off
NICEIC Installation Certificate issued and Part P notification lodged with the local authority. PDF in your inbox before we close the van door.
What you actually get from a NICEIC 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, Daniel still picks up the phone — no ticket queue, no subcontractor.
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.
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 NICEIC self-cert scheme. Disruption is kept to one room at a time and dust sheets go down on every visit.
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.
Straight answers, before the visit.
