The first is chasing. Cutting a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, running the cable through it, and closing the channel with plaster. This is the cleanest visually but involves minor construction work and repainting the wall. Timeline: 4-6 hours plus wall repair. Changing a standard switch to a dimmer switch requires first checking that the luminaire is compatible. Standard LED bulbs are often not dimmable. Only LED bulbs labelled 'dimmable' work well with a dimmer. Old halogens dim without issue but are rarely used now due to consumption.

These two components are in all modern electrical panels but protect different things. The circuit breaker, also called an automatic switch, protects against overloads and short circuits. If you connect too many appliances to the same circuit or if two wires touch due to a fault, the circuit breaker trips and cuts the power. Its function is to protect the installation's wiring and prevent fires. The electrical panel has ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers. The panel has no residual current device (RCD) or only a general one that protects all circuits. RCDs trip frequently without apparent cause, indicating they are old. The panel has fewer than 4-5 circuits for a complete home. The standard is to have a minimum of 5 circuits (lighting, general sockets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The panel is saturated, and there is no room for more circuits to add electric car chargers or other modern equipment. The RCD protects people. It detects the difference between the current entering and leaving the installation. If this difference exceeds 30 milliamps, it means something or someone is diverting current to earth, and the RCD trips in less than 30 milliseconds. This is what prevents electrocution when a fault in a washing machine causes the metal casing to be live and you touch it.

Official manufacturer's warranty (3-5 years) plus our labour coverage. LED strips for indirect lighting are very popular in modern renovations. They are glued into an embedded aluminium profile in the wall or ceiling, providing a soft, continuous light that is perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. We work with quality strips with a high colour rendering index, not the cheap Chinese strips that give an unpleasant cold light. For a complete smart home with programmed scene lighting, it can be integrated with Google Home or Alexa for voice control. We configure this during our visit. It's one of the upgrades with the greatest impact on quality of life for the lowest real investment.

It starts with a technical visit from an authorised electrician who diagnoses the electrical panel and installation. They measure the actual cable cross-section, identify overloaded circuits, and detect any existing earth leakages. They provide a fixed price quote with a breakdown of items.
