What's Included in Our New Electrical Installations Service
New electrical installation work covers everything from planning circuit layouts through to first fix (running cables before walls are finished) and second fix (fitting sockets, switches and fittings once decoration is complete). We work to current wiring regulations throughout, sizing circuits correctly for their intended use and making sure everything is tested and certified once complete.
Why Choose Paredes Electrical for New Electrical Installations
- Careful planning of circuit layouts before work begins
- Experience coordinating with builders and other trades
- All work to current wiring regulations, tested and certified
- Clear communication throughout multi-stage projects
- Competitive, transparent pricing for projects of any size
We're a small, local team rather than a national call centre, so when you get in touch about new electrical installations you speak directly to someone who can give you a straight answer. Every job is carried out by our own NAPIT-registered electricians, so you know exactly who is doing the work and the standard to expect.
Our New Electrical Installations Process
Share your plans, whether that's an architect's drawing, a rough sketch, or just a description of what you need, and we'll talk through the electrical requirements. For larger projects, we'll typically visit first fix (cables run before plastering) and return for second fix (fitting sockets, switches and lighting) once decoration is complete. Throughout, we coordinate with your other trades to keep the project moving smoothly.
When You Might Need New Electrical Installations
New installation work is typically needed for extensions, loft conversions, new-build properties, full kitchen or bathroom refits, converting garages or outbuildings into usable space, or any project where you're adding entirely new circuits rather than working with what already exists. If you're planning any of these, it's worth involving us early so the electrics are planned in from the start.
Getting an Accurate Quote
Pricing for new installations depends heavily on the scope and complexity of the project, a single new circuit is very different from wiring an entire extension. We'll give you a detailed quote based on your specific plans, and for larger projects we're happy to break this down by stage so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
Across Northampton, Milton Keynes and Wellingborough, we work on installation projects ranging from a single new circuit in an existing room through to full new-build wiring. Each property and project is different, so we take time to understand exactly what you need before quoting, rather than applying a generic package that might not suit your specific layout or usage.
Getting Started
For larger projects, we're happy to provide a detailed breakdown of the work involved, including estimated timings for first and second fix stages, so you can plan around other aspects of your build. We keep communication clear throughout, letting you know in advance if anything changes or if we spot something during first fix that needs discussing before we proceed.
Whatever stage your project is at, from early planning through to ready-for-first-fix, get in touch and we'll talk through the electrical side of things and give you a straightforward quote to work from.
