 | House re-wires
As Wiring can deteriorate overtime, it is recommended that a house is re-wired at least every 25 years to ensure it is safe and complies with regulation (BS7671). Prior to any work, an electrician will assess the condition of your property by carrying out a period test and inspection. We can offer an onsite qualified electrical engineer to visit and discuss your electrical requirements. During this process they will provide advice, explain and demonstrate innovative electrical lighting and power solutions and set out a tailor made package specific to your properties needs.

|  | Consumer units (fuse boards)
We specialise in installing new consumer units meeting the 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations.
Properties need to be tested prior to changing the consumer unit. Any serious defects must be rectified prior to the new consumer unit being fitted. Once this has been done the consumer unit and the installation can be certified with NICEIC installation certificate and building control notified.

 | Testing & electrical reports
It is an electrical regulation (BS7671) that domestic dwellings be periodically tested and inspected at least every ten years or change of tenancy / owner. We can carry out a thorough test and inspection on all existing circuits and provide you with a detailed NICEIC electrical report on the condition of the electrical installation in your property. This includes home buyer's reports. All reports come with estimates for any required remedial work.

|  | Fault finding
Most electrical problems can be diagnosed and fixed quickly and promptly, minimising the disturbance to your home. If the problem is more complex we will discuss the options and implications with you prior to carrying out the work. No work will be carried out without customer approval so that there are no surprise extra costs when you get the invoice.

|  | Low voltage lighting
Low voltage lighting has become very popular in recent years. They can be used as a safe option in highly dangerous areas such as kitchens and bathroom, and they can be effectively used to simply create an atmosphere. Down lighters come in many shapes and sizes; we can match existing light fittings or install from new to your specification. |
 | Home electrical improvements
No matter how large or small the job, we can assist you and meet your needs. We are careful to ensure that all work carried out by us adheres to the appropriate regulation. • New sockets
• New light fittings
• Repositioning lights switches (often required when doors are reversed)
• Under floor heating fully installed and tested (in liaison with other trades)
• Extractor fans fitted to stop mould in bathrooms and kitchens
• Lighting in flower beds and driveways
• Preparing power supplies for electric gates
• Video entry / audio entry systems
• Communal lighting and power |
|  | Immersion element / heater and electrical heating
We specialise in replacement of immersion elements; top or bottom entry elements. We carry out all necessary plumbing to ensure that the correct element is fitted and installed to manufacturer recommendations.
As all properties differ in shape and size, Stewarts Electrics will visit your home and determine your specific individual heating requirements from storage, panel heaters or under floor heating.

 | Smoke, heat and optical fire alarm installation
We are able to supply and install smoke and fire alarm systems from simple mains alarms with battery back-up through to a full maintained category 'A' monitored system.
We recommend the use of aico mains powered systems with rechargeable lithium cells. This eliminates the nuisance bleeping when batteries are low; a danger as people are tempted to remove the unit from the ceiling leaving the property unprotected.
GRADE A - A full system with control and indicating equipment installed to BS 5839.
GRADE D - Mains powered alarms with an integral stand-by power supply.

|  | Security lighting
Security lighting can be installed to discourage potential burglars since the lights make it hard to disguise their actions and alert you to their presence. Effective lighting can also provide a welcome light to your property; we can even install driveway up lighters to lead you to your front door. We can install mains and low voltage (PIR) sensors to control security lighting; the advantage of low voltage sensors is they can be run using thin wiring which is easy to install without disruption to property. |
 | Security alarms & CCTV
We can supply and install burglar alarm systems - from the basic to the more sophisticated. We will recommend a design to suit your budget.
With a majority of alarms, a speech dialler can be installed which will contact up to three telephone numbers upon activation. The advantage of this is being made aware of an intruder when you are not at home. This allows you to inform the authorities or a neighbour.
CCTV can now be linked to the internet so that you can have remote access to your system from anywhere in the world; even a mobile phone.

|  | TV wiring & sockets
When installing Sky into your home we can provide neatly concealed additional sockets and sky approved cabling. We can also fit loft top boxes to distribute Sky TV, UHF (standard TV aerial) and FM (for radio) to a single outlet in each room. This allows the user to utilise all three services through one outlet. |
 | Phone wiring & sockets Let us assist you with telephone extensions, moving existing sockets to more convenient locations or installing extra phone points for phones, Fax, Sky TV or Broadband services. Any cabling laid by us will be safely and neatly concealed. Computer network wiring & sockets Now that broadband is more common, it can make sense to install a Cat5e and Cat6 network to meet the needs of your family. Wired connections are much faster than wireless connection. |
