New Home Electrical Work in Surat

Planning before first fix

We walk the property with you and mark positions room by room. Where will the bed actually go — because that determines which side the switches and charging points belong on. Which wall will the TV be on. Is the kitchen layout final, because hob, chimney, microwave and water purifier all need points in specific places.

This session is the most valuable hour in the whole job. A point in the right place costs the same as a point in the wrong place; moving it later costs far more than both.

• Bedroom: bedside points on both sides, two-way switching from door and bed
• Living: TV wall points grouped and concealed, plus a spare for future use
• Kitchen: separate points for hob, chimney, microwave, purifier and small appliances
• Utility: dedicated washing machine point away from splash zones
• Every room: at least one spare point per wall you expect to furnish

Coordinating with the other trades

New-build and fit-out work only runs smoothly when the electrical, plumbing, false-ceiling and carpentry teams are talking to each other. Conduit that clashes with a plumbing run, or a light cut-out that lands on a ceiling joist, costs everybody time.

We work to the interior drawings where there are any and coordinate directly with the other contractors on site. If there are no drawings, we mark our runs clearly so the mason and carpenter can see them.

Testing and handover

Before we hand a new installation over we test it properly: continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earth continuity and RCCB operation on every circuit. A new installation that has not been tested is only assumed to be correct.

Handover includes a labelled board, the as-installed circuit list, and a walkthrough so you know which breaker does what before you need to know it in the dark.
