FAQs
Frequently asked questions
- Do you take small jobs in Hove, or only large projects?
- Small jobs are welcome — an extra socket, a dodgy switch, an outside light, a stubborn lighting circuit, a cooker point. There is no artificial minimum charge; the price reflects the actual work.
- How much does an EICR cost in Hove?
- A domestic EICR in Hove is typically priced per consumer unit and per circuit, so a two-bed flat is cheaper than a five-bed house. Paul gives a fixed quote once he knows the property size and consumer unit type — see the EICR Brighton and Hove page for detail.
- Are you NAPIT approved?
- Yes. Paul is registered with NAPIT, a UK government-recognised competent-person scheme. Notifiable work in England (fuse board replacements, new circuits, work in special locations such as bathrooms) is self-certified through NAPIT and the Building Regulations certificate is issued to you on completion.
- Can you install a home EV charger in Hove?
- Yes — Paul installs OZEV-style 7 kW home chargers with load management where required, wired back to the consumer unit with the correct protective device to the current EV charging regulations. See the EV Charger Hove page for what is included.
- Do you offer wired network cabling as well as electrical work?
- Yes. Paul installs structured Cat6 and Cat6a cabling, PoE access points and network switches for whole-home Wi-Fi — see the Home Network Cabling page. Being a single trade for the electrics and the network keeps routes tidy and installations properly isolated.
- Which Hove postcodes do you cover?
- BN3 (Hove, Aldrington, Hove Park, West Blatchington) and BN41 (Portslade) are core coverage. Brighton BN1 and BN2 are also everyday areas, alongside the wider Sussex postcodes listed on the Areas Covered page.
