About Our Electrician Service in Lakenheath
Most electrical work falls into five jobs. Installation, where cables and back boxes go in before the plaster (first fix) and socket outlets, switches and light fittings go on after decorating (second fix). Alterations, like an extra socket outlet spurred off a ring final circuit, or a new outside light. Fault-finding on a tripping RCD or a dead circuit. Inspection and testing of what is already there. Certification, because every job ends with a document.
The order on site rarely changes. We isolate and prove dead first, then install or repair, then test. Continuity of protective conductors, insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance and RCD trip times all get measured and written onto your certificate.
Our electricians are qualified to BS 7671, the wiring regulations, and Norspark is NAPIT registered, so notifiable work is certified and notified for you. Callout is £120 + VAT Mon-Fri 8am-6pm with the first hour of labour included. Quotes for planned work are free.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between first fix and second fix?
First fix is everything that happens before the plasterer. Cables run, back boxes fixed, circuit routes set. Second fix comes after decorating: socket outlets, switches, light fittings and the terminations at the consumer unit (fuse box). The circuits are then tested and the certificate issued. On a rewire the two stages are usually days apart.
What paperwork do I get at the end of the job?
New circuits, rewires and consumer unit changes get an Electrical Installation Certificate. An alteration to an existing circuit gets a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate. An inspection of an existing installation gets an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), which is a report rather than a certificate. Keep them. Conveyancers ask for them years later.
Which version of the wiring regulations do you work to?
BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. The trade is mid-transition: BS 7671:2018+A3:2024 stays valid until 15 October 2026, and BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 is already published, so either edition may be used during the overlap. BS 7671 is a standard rather than law, but it is the recognised way of meeting Part P in homes and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 in workplaces.
Will I have power while the work is going on?
It depends on the job. An extra socket outlet means one circuit off for a short spell. A consumer unit change means the whole property off for a large part of the day. Ask which circuits go off and for how long when you book, so the fridge and the router can be planned around.
