What can you add to a newer home in Blaby or Whetstone?
Mostly the things the builder didn't include. Villages such as Blaby, Whetstone and Countesthorpe have grown with newer estates over the years, and the wiring in those homes is usually modern. What people tend to want is more of it, in better places.
Common upgrades we can price from photos:
- Extra sockets and USB sockets
- In kitchens, bedrooms and home offices.
- An outdoor socket
- For the mower, jet washer or garden lights.
- A home EV charger
- On the driveway or garage wall.
- TV mounting with hidden cables
- Where the wall construction allows.
- Shelving, blinds and flat-pack
- The jobs that pile up after moving in.
Will work on a new-build affect my warranty?
It might, so check first. Many new homes come with a structural warranty for several years, plus a shorter period when the developer fixes defects. Adding sockets or mounting a TV is very unlikely to affect structural cover, but it's worth reading your warranty terms before any work.
If something is a defect, such as a socket that never worked or a leaking joint under the sink, report it to the developer first. That work should be theirs to put right. Once you're outside that period, or the job is an addition rather than a fix, we are happy to help.
Any notifiable electrical work, such as a new circuit for an EV charger, is notified to building control as the law requires, so you have the paperwork if you sell.
Do you work for businesses near Fosse Park and Grove Park?
Yes. Small businesses are a regular part of our work, and the retail and office space around Fosse Park, Grove Park and Enderby sits close to our base.
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, employers have a duty to keep electrical systems safe. In practice that means periodic inspection, keeping emergency lighting tested (monthly function checks and an annual duration test under BS 5266), and fixing faults promptly. We can take on repairs, LED lighting upgrades, extra power for new layouts and planned maintenance visits.
We work every day from 8am to 8pm, so jobs can often be booked early or late to avoid your busiest hours. Each visit is priced as one fixed price, agreed first, and invoices can be addressed to the business. If a fault needs a bigger fix than expected, we stop and price it separately.
Can you help with older houses in Narborough and Enderby?
Yes. Alongside the newer estates, Narborough and Enderby have older village streets with houses that may have been extended or altered several times.
In those homes the electrics can be a mix of old and new, and plumbing may have been added to over the years. We start with photos, and if the picture isn't clear we arrange a survey visit before giving a fixed price. If something unexpected turns up once work starts, we stop, show you, and price it separately. Nothing extra goes ahead without your approval.
How do I get jobs done if I commute every day?
By keeping it to one visit. Many people in Blaby, Narborough and Whetstone travel into Leicester or further for work, so arranging several tradespeople on different days is hard.
Put everything on one list, electrical, plumbing and handyman, and send photos by the online form or WhatsApp in the evening. We reply within 24 hours with one fixed price for the whole list, then agree a single date. We work every day from 8am to 8pm, so a weekend or early evening slot may suit you better than a weekday.
