Most building projects involve some electrical work, from extra sockets in a new kitchen to rewiring during a full renovation.
Ecoficiency coordinates electrical installations as part of building projects. Regulated electrical work must be carried out, tested and certified by appropriately competent and registered electricians.
Electrical work we can coordinate
- New circuits, sockets and switches for extensions and kitchens
- Lighting design and installation, including downlights and feature lighting
- Rewiring as part of full renovations
- Consumer unit upgrades
- Fitting electrical points for appliances, extract fans and heating
Safety, testing and certification
In England and Wales, much domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. It must be carried out by a registered competent person or notified to building control. Similar rules apply elsewhere in the UK.
On completion, electrical work should be tested and the appropriate certificate issued. Keep these certificates with your property documents.
Planning electrical positions early — before plastering — avoids chasing finished walls later.
How electrical projects typically run
- Plan positions. Agree sockets, switches and lighting.
- First fix. Cable routes before plastering.
- Second fix. Fit accessories and fittings.
- Test and certify. Testing and certification by the qualified electrician.
Ecoficiency will confirm who will carry out and certify the electrical work for your project. Please do not rely on this page as confirmation of any specific registration.
