Smaller Jobs

No Job Too Small!

Not every electrical job requires major works. Sometimes you may just need an additional socket, a light fitting changed or an electrical accessory replaced because it has become outdated, worn or unreliable.

Alan Davies Electrical is happy to carry out your smaller electrical jobs as well as larger installations. If you have a job that needs doing, however small it may seem, please feel free to get in touch. I can discuss what is required and advise you on the most suitable way of completing the work.

Electrical Jobs Around Your Home

Over time, electrical accessories can become worn, damaged or simply no longer suitable for the way you use your home. A small job can often make a significant difference to convenience, safety and the appearance of a room.

Examples of smaller electrical work I can undertake include:
* Installing an additional socket where you need one.
* Replacing a damaged, loose or worn socket outlet.
* Changing an ceiling light fitting for a newer design.
* Replacing a worn or faulty ceiling pull-cord switch.
* Replacing light switches or other electrical accessories.
* Installing or replacing an outside socket or light.
* Reconnecting a new electric cooker or oven .
* Replacing an electric shower unit.
* Carrying out minor alterations to wiring.
* Replacing an extractor fan.

Adding an Extra Socket

An additional socket can be a relatively small job, but can make everyday life considerably easier.

Whether you need another socket in a bedroom, living room, kitchen or home office, I can look at the existing installation and determine the most practical method of providing it.

Where appropriate, surface-mounted PVC trunking or other suitable methods can sometimes provide a neat alternative to chasing walls and disturbing decoration.

The best approach will depend on the existing wiring, the position of the new socket and the construction of the property.

Changing Lights and Switches

Replacing an old light fitting or worn switch is another common small electrical job. You may have decorated a room and want to replace an outdated ceiling light, or perhaps an existing pull-cord switch has become worn after years of use.

Replacing the accessory can often be a straightforward job, while also providing an opportunity to check that the existing wiring and connections are in suitable condition. I can also replace many types of standard light switches, sockets and other electrical accessories.

Connecting a New Cooker or Oven

Replacing an electric cooker or oven does not necessarily mean that major electrical work is required. If the property already has a suitable existing supply, I can assess the installation and reconnect the new appliance where the existing circuit and connection arrangement are appropriate.

For safety it is important that the electrical supply is suitable for the appliance. I will check the existing arrangement to ensure the new appliance can be connected.

If the supply is inadequate I can provide a competitive quote for upgrading so your appliance can be connected.

Smaller Jobs Deserve Professional Attention

Although a job may be small, electrical work still needs to be carried out safely and correctly. An apparently simple replacement can sometimes reveal an underlying problem such as a loose connection, damaged cable, unsuitable accessory or other issue with the existing installation.

If I find something that requires attention, I will explain the problem and discuss the options with you before proceeding with additional work. My aim is always to complete the work efficiently while maintaining the same standard of care whether I am installing a single socket or undertaking a larger electrical project.

A Local Electrician for those Smaller Jobs

It can sometimes be difficult to find an electrician willing to take on a small job. You may only need one socket replaced or a light fitting changed, but it is still important to have the work carried out properly.
