EICR Testing

Minor Electrical Works

From broken sockets to new light fittings. Professional, certified electrical repairs for your home or business.

Small Jobs, Professional Standards

Not every electrical job requires a full rewire or valid EICR. Our Minor Works service is designed for the smaller maintenance tasks, alterations, and additions to your existing electrical installation.

Crucially, even "minor" works must comply with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations. Upon completion of any alteration (like adding a socket or changing a light fixture), we issue a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC), ensuring you are legally covered and safe.
