Electrical Installations

Residential Electrician in Reading

Rewires, alterations and carefully planned electrical installations for homes across Reading and Berkshire. Practical electrical experience, with the lighting, controls and future needs of your home considered from the start.

The installation starts with how the home needs to work.

You may be changing a kitchen, extending your home, dealing with a recurring electrical fault or planning a complete renovation. We start by understanding what needs to change and checking the existing installation, so the work is based on the property rather than assumptions.

As an electrician in Reading, Danny brings more than 20 years of practical experience to that conversation. We plan the circuits, power, lighting and controls together, explaining what is needed now and what is worth allowing for later.

What we deliver

Conventional electrics, approached thoughtfully.

01

Rewires & Alterations

Full and partial rewires, new circuits, additional sockets and changes to existing wiring. We assess the condition and layout first, then explain the scope, access needed and how the work can be coordinated with decorating or building work.

02

Renovations & Extensions

Electrical installations planned around kitchens, extensions and substantial home renovations. We work through room layouts, appliance supplies and switching positions with you and the wider project team before first fix.

03

Lighting & Controls

Lighting installation, replacement fittings, dimming and control wiring for the way each room is used. Where the project needs a coordinated lighting scheme, explore our architectural lighting design service.

04

Consumer-Unit Work

Consumer-unit assessment, replacement and changes to circuit protection. We check the existing circuits and explain any associated work before agreeing the installation, testing and certification required.

05

Fault Finding

Investigation of recurring tripping, faulty lighting, sockets and other electrical problems. We test to identify the cause, explain the findings and agree suitable repairs rather than replacing parts without understanding the fault.

06

Testing & Handover

Electrical inspection, testing, condition reporting and documentation appropriate to the work. At handover, we explain the installation and controls so you know how to use the system and what the records cover.

  • Whole-home and substantial rewiring
  • Distribution and circuit planning
  • Lighting and control coordination
  • Power, data and future provision

The NGE approach

Good electrical work should support the complete design.

  • Planned around the property. Circuits and controls reflect the room layouts and intended use.
  • Coordinated with other trades. Requirements are resolved before walls, joinery and finishes are complete.
  • Installed cleanly. Practical workmanship protects both the infrastructure and the finished interior.
  • Prepared to evolve. Capacity and routes can support later technology and energy upgrades.

Consumer units, testing and inspection

A reliable installation needs a sound technical foundation.

NGE is NAPIT registered, with more than 20 years of practical electrical experience behind the work. We assess the existing installation, select equipment around the circuits it serves, and test and document the completed work.

You should understand what has been installed, any limitations identified and which certificates or reports apply. We explain those points in plain language and keep the handover useful.

  • Consumer unit upgrades
  • RCBO circuit protection
  • Surge protection
  • Electrical installation testing
  • EICRs and condition reporting
  • Clear certification

Planning the whole home

Get the electrical foundations right, then build on them.

A premium home depends on the everyday details being right: sockets where they are useful, lighting that suits the room and controls that make sense. If you are considering automation, our smart-home installation service explains how lighting, heating and other systems can work together.

For a new property, see our new-build electrical design page. It covers the early coordination of electrical infrastructure, controls and energy systems before construction decisions become difficult to change.
