During the planning stage for your renovation, extension, loft conversion you'll need to consider how your electrical wiring will extend so that it reaches the loft or extension adequately.

Whether you intend to use the conversion or extension as a bedroom, bathroom, office, lounge or living area, you'll need electricity for multiple devices such as plug sockets, lights, smoke detectors, shaver points, computers, TVs or appliances depending on if you intend to use the extra space as a bedroom, living area, kitchen, bathroom or office so it’s necessary that it’s wired correctly.

J&T Electrical will first check that your existing electrics are safe and assess your home's needs for any rewiring, plan for the electrical layout needed for your extension or loft conversion and work alongside your other contractors to get your project completed.

If you’re looking to upgrade lighting fixtures in your home, J&T Electrical will help you design and weigh up your options for an electrical plan to suit your needs. We’ll consider the renovation area’s room size, lighting needs and how you’ll use the space.

Desired furniture placement, fixtures and fittings should also be considered when designing a lighting plan. Switches should be easily accessible and smaller task-based lighting should be considered for areas such as living room corners, in studies and under cabinets in kitchens.

J&T Electrical will be able to recommend the best options for your lighting fixtures based on your desired style, budget and your requirements for energy efficiency.

Rewiring is an opportunity to not only improve safety but also to cope with the demands of modern living - it provides an opportunity to add more switches and plug sockets for kitchen appliances, televisions and computers. A recent rewire can also boost your property’s appeal to buyers if you’re selling an older property.

If you have an older home or are purchasing an older property and it has not been inspected within the last 25-30 years, it may require rewiring. Signs that you may need to rewire your home include frequently flickering or dimming lights, circuit breakers that trip regularly, slight shocks from switches and outlets, damaged or exposed cables and wires.

Electric based heating is a great cost-effective and eco-friendly option for keeping your home warm and it’s more sustainable than oil or gas based systems. Built-in thermostats provide great heat control and their efficiency and running costs has improved considerably over the past few years.

We can discuss and help you decide what heating options are right for you, your property and your budget, whether it’s electric radiators, underfloor heating, ground source heat pumps or a combination.

For anyone who wants to reduce their carbon footprint, electric cars are a great choice as they don’t emit any of the gases that contribute to global warming. While electric cars are currently more expensive than traditional vehicles, the cost of running them is a lot lower and charging them at home can be the most convenient and cost-effective way of running your vehicle.

Having a car charging point at home is just as quick as – or even quicker than some – public charging points and you don’t need to wait around at a service station. Car charging overnight can be the most cost-effective way and more convenient for day to day running.

J&T Electrical will assess your current electrical system and layout, and discuss with you your best options for car charging points at your home.
