Residential Kitchen Diner Extension - Electrical Sub-Contract Works

An example of one of our regular residential electrical sub-contract projects:

Finishing touches completed on a full kitchen diner extension project in Ascot.

From 1st fix electrical installation to completed project....

Bespoke LED lighting of roof lanterns, and feature pendants over the breakfast bar. Underfloor heating to all rooms, with upgraded heating controls.

Working for the main contractor, we carried out an initial site survey and prepared a full electrical specification and pricing proposal before work commenced on site.

All work was coordinated to fit in with the relevant building work phases, with full BS7671 NICEIC and Building Regulations certification provided on completion.

In line with our standard approach, for the extended and refurbished areas we installed all new final circuit wiring to suit the new layout and ensure both compliance and reliability.

To enable our new work to comply with current wiring standards, a replacement consumer unit was installed, providing surge protection, individual RCD protection to all circuits, a non-combustible consumer unit enclosure (under wooden stairs primary escape route) and installation of protective bonding. Prior to the consumer unit change, our electrician carried out basic inspection and testing of the existing wiring throughout the property - bringing any significant safety or reliability issues to the clients attention.

Due to the increased living area and change to escape routes, we also specified and installed an interlinked mains powered smoke detection and alarm system to provide enhanced fire safety to the occupier in accordance with the architects plans, building regulations part B and BS5389.

As usual, we also provided a design and install service for mechanical extract and ventilation to both kitchen and utility in accordance with Building Regulations Part F.

The project was completed on time and on budget, with health and safety risk assessments and method statements compiled and briefed to our team at the project start.

We only use our own full time employed and fully qualified electricians, guaranteeing our quality and attention to detail. We have a proven track record of training our own electricians via a traditional 4 year electrical apprenticeship combining college training and assessment together with on site training working alongside an experienced electrician.

If you are looking for a reliable and efficient electrical contractor for your next residential project please contact us - we would be pleased to discuss your requirements.

We carry out electrical work both on a sub-contract basis for construction firms large and small, and direct to client.

Main contractor: Greg Pritchard of Everard & Pritchard Building Company Ltd. - Bracknell.
