Electrical Installation & Upgrades

A new idea for your space starts with a conversation. Request a connection with an independent local provider to discuss your project.

What you can ask about

A little detail.
A better conversation.

Describe your needs in the form. A provider will need to assess the project before confirming the work and price.

01

Lighting installation

Describe the room, its everyday use and the effect you want to achieve. Your enquiry might cover pendant lights, task lighting or a wider lighting arrangement. Mention existing fittings, preferred controls and whether you have already chosen or purchased products so a provider can discuss the proposed scope.

02

Outlets & switches

Explain where you would like additional or relocated fittings and how the space will be used. Include furniture or appliance plans where relevant. A provider can assess the existing arrangement and discuss fitting locations, finishes, access and any associated work before you make a decision.

03

Wiring upgrades

Share the property layout and the renovation or extension you have in mind. Mention whether walls, ceilings or floors will already be accessible as part of other work. A provider will need to assess the existing installation before recommending the extent and sequence of any wiring changes.

04

Electrical panels

Explain what is changing: additional equipment, a renovation, an extension or a different use of the property. Do not worry if you do not know the existing capacity. A provider can discuss the assessment needed and explain proposed equipment, scope and any associated arrangements.

05

EV-charger installation

Include the property type, parking location and whether the parking space is private or shared. Mention your vehicle or preferred charger if already chosen. Installation suitability depends on the property and existing electrical arrangement; the independent provider must assess these before confirming a proposal.

Your project in context

Start with your space.
Build a clearer project brief.

A lighting refresh

Describe how you want a room to feel and function, from a new pendant above a table to more useful task lighting.

A renovation or extension

Bring the room layout, planned furniture and other trades into the conversation so the provider can discuss the sequence of work.

A new electrical need

Additional equipment or home charging can change the project scope. Explain what you want to add and where it will be used.

Before you enquire

Turn an idea into a useful enquiry.

You do not need a finished technical specification. A description of the intended result and your property gives a provider a practical starting point.

Example project description
We are updating our kitchen and would like new task lighting plus additional outlets near the worktop. The cabinet layout is being finalised. We would like to discuss fitting positions, suitable controls and how the electrical work could fit around the renovation.
Illustrative wording to help you describe your own project.
  • The intended result

    Explain what you want to add, move or improve and why.

  • The space and layout

    Describe the property, affected rooms and planned furniture or equipment.

  • Products and preferences

    Mention selected fittings, finishes or equipment, including anything already purchased.

  • Project coordination

    Share renovation stages, access arrangements and any preferred dates or budget range.

Discussing the work

Plan the details.
Make room for the result.

An installation brief becomes more useful when it connects the way you use a space with the practical stages of the project. These conversations help a provider turn an initial idea into a defined proposal.

01

Think through everyday use

Describe where people work, cook, relax or charge equipment, and how the room may change over time. Furniture layouts and intended activities help explain why you want a fitting in a particular place. Separate essential requirements from preferences so the provider understands your priorities.

02

Coordinate positions and finishes

Bring together your preferred lighting positions, switch locations, outlet finishes and control options. Share cabinet or room plans if available, and mention decisions that are still open. Confirm product suitability with the provider before placing orders, particularly when you intend to supply fittings yourself.

03

Discuss the sequence of work

Explain whether the project involves decorating, cabinetry, flooring or other trades. Ask the provider which decisions and access arrangements are needed before each stage. Agree how changes to the wider renovation schedule will be communicated and who is responsible for coordinating the different contractors.

04

Agree the handover

Before accepting a proposal, ask what completion checks, operating instructions and relevant documentation are included. Discuss how controls will be demonstrated and who to contact about a product or installation concern. Keep the final scope, product details and any supplied warranty information for future reference.

Before agreeing a price

A clearer scope.
A more useful estimate.

A useful installation proposal explains the intended result and the work needed to achieve it. Discuss these points before agreeing to proceed.

Products and supply

Clarify the number and type of fittings, who purchases them and whether alternatives need approval. Ask how delivery delays, unsuitable customer-supplied products or a change of finish would be handled.

Existing conditions and access

The provider may need to assess the existing installation before confirming a final scope. Explain whether the property is occupied, which areas are accessible and whether work must fit around opening hours or other activities.

Associated work and changes

Confirm whether the proposal includes surface repairs, decoration, removal of old fittings and coordination with other trades. Agree how changes to quantities, positions or products will be priced and approved.

Keep a copy of the agreed layout and specification alongside the estimate. If a position, product or quantity changes, ask for the written scope to be updated so everyone is working from the same information.

Start your enquiry

A request is not a booking. Connections depend on availability.

How it works

Your next step,
made simpler.

Four straightforward enquiry stages. No instant booking, no guaranteed match, no pressure.

Installation enquiries

A few questions,
before the next step.

Understand the enquiry process and what to discuss with an independent provider.

Can I enquire before choosing the exact fittings?

Yes. Describe the result you want and any preferences for appearance or controls. A provider can discuss what information is needed before products and installation scope can be confirmed.

Can a provider install fittings I have already bought?

Mention the products in your enquiry and confirm this directly with the provider. Compatibility, condition, installation requirements and the provider’s terms need to be discussed before work is agreed.

How is an installation estimate prepared?

The provider may need information about the layout, existing equipment, access, materials and the proposed work. Ask for a clear description of what is included and how changes, making good or additional materials would be handled.

Can the work be coordinated with a renovation?

Explain which other trades are involved and the current project stage. Discuss access, the sequence of work and any dependencies directly with the provider. The platform does not coordinate contractors or guarantee schedules.

Is every property suitable for an EV charger?

Suitability cannot be confirmed through this form. Parking arrangements, the existing electrical installation and any property permissions need to be considered by the provider before a proposal is agreed.

What should I confirm before agreeing to the installation?

Confirm the provider’s qualifications and insurance, the written scope, products, price, schedule and payment arrangements. Ask what testing, handover information and any applicable documentation are included in the proposed work.
