What Do Our Electrical Services Include?

Our electrical services include rewiring, consumer unit upgrades, lighting installation, socket and switch fitting, and fault repairs.

Rewiring & Consumer Units

We carry out full or partial rewiring and replace consumer units where required. Existing wiring and circuits are assessed to establish which upgrades your home needs.

Lighting Installation

We fit lighting in living spaces, kitchens, bathrooms, gardens and entrances. Positions, controls and fittings are selected to suit how each area is used.

Socket & Switch Installation

Additional or repositioned sockets and switches make power points easier to reach. We plan their locations around furniture and appliances, checking circuit capacity before installation.

Fault Finding & Repairs

Repeated tripping, faulty sockets and lighting failures need their cause identified. We investigate the fault, repair the affected components and test the completed work.

Why Choose YDV Construction for Electrical Services?

YDV Construction helps you understand which electrical changes your home needs, how they will affect the property and what the finished installation will include. Our recommendations connect the technical requirements with how you use your rooms.

Advice Based on Your Electrics

We explain which existing parts can support the proposed work and where upgrades are needed. Recommendations are based on the installation’s condition and your planned electrical demands.

Clear Access Requirements

You know where walls may need opening or floorboards lifting before work begins. The agreed scope identifies any making-good work included, helping you plan for repairs and decorating.

Agreed Fitting Positions

Socket, switch and lighting positions are agreed before installation. This gives you the opportunity to check them against furniture, cabinetry and appliance plans while changes are easier to make.

Coordination With Other Trades

We coordinate electrical work with the wider build, including plastering and kitchen fitting. This helps avoid finished surfaces being reopened because wiring or connection points were overlooked.

An Understandable Handover

You receive an explanation of the electrical changes and the documentation relevant to your work. Any recommendations for further attention are made clear, helping you understand what has been completed and what remains.

How We Plan and Complete Your Electrical Work

Your electrical work follows four stages, from assessing the existing installation to testing the completed work. We agree the scope, access requirements and expected disruption before starting.

Property Assessment

We discuss the faults or changes you need and assess the relevant wiring, circuits and consumer unit. This establishes what the work involves and whether further investigation is needed.

Layout & Scope Agreement

Socket positions, lighting points and cable routes are agreed alongside the quotation. You know which fittings are included, where access is required and what making-good work is covered.

Installation & Repairs

We carry out the agreed wiring, fitting or repair work, coordinating with other trades where needed. Any additional issues uncovered are explained and changes agreed before proceeding.

Testing & Handover

The completed work is inspected and tested. We explain the circuit arrangements and any new controls, then provide the documentation appropriate to the work undertaken.
