Beginning his apprenticeship in 1996 at the age of 17, Tony Walsh qualified as an electrician at the age of 21 and spent the next 20 years working in the South East of England. In 2006 Tony moved to Scotland with his family and immediately discovered that almost everyone he met in Ayrshire, upon finding out his occupation, stated how hard it as to find a good, reliable and well-priced electrician. Responding to an apparent need in the Ayrshire area, Tony started T Walsh Contracts and spent the next 7 years working alone and building up a regular client base.
When it comes to electrical work, most rooms in a property can be treated similarly, but kitchens and bathrooms are unique and complex cases. Kitchens feature the use of both electricity and water, so great care is taken to ensure all utilities and appliances are correctly and safely set up. The appliances in a kitchen tend to use more electricity than all the other rooms in your property put together. You will certainly need a new distribution board/fuse box if your current one does not feature RCD protection.
If you are looking to add a new room or rooms to your property then it goes without saying that you will need power supplied to your new space(s). From simple lighting and plug socket installation in a storage space or garage to subterranean gyms, swimming pool rooms and high tech games or cinema rooms, we can help you create the room of your dreams. If you are changing the layout, type of use, or anything else within your property, it's unlikely your new setup will adequately work with your existing electrical network.
We have put together a handy guide for you so you can get a better idea of what's involved during the rewiring or a property. We feel it is pretty comprehensive but we're here to help should you have any questions. This is by far the most commonly asked question we get asked, but it is also the most difficult to answer as every property is different. As a handy rule of thumb, you can use the number of bedrooms as a rough guide to work out a ballpark figure for a rewiring project. Multiply the number of bedrooms by 1,000 and you'll get an idea of the sort of cost you may be looking at.
In the modern world, little runs without electricity. Businesses are increasingly reliant on technology to operate, and so any disruption to electricity supply or issues with any electrical equipment can cause sizeable problems, most often directly affecting the profitability of a company. Not only can any disruption to the smooth running of a business have financial consequences, but improperly functioning electrical equipment can also be potentially fatal for employees and customers alike. The UK and Scottish Governments have extensive regulations in place to ensure businesses take the necessary precautions to sufficiently protect staff and clients alike.
LED bulbs offer significant energy savings compared to older style bulbs. Their popularity has increased spectacularly in the past few years, but still only a fraction of the UK's estimated 700 domestic bulbs are LED. As lighting accounts for 10-20% of the average domestic energy bill, switching to LED bulbs can offer sizeable savings. LED bulbs use around 90% less energy than halogen or incandescent alternatives. This means that you can replace an old-style 50W bulb with a 5W LED bulb, all without sacrificing performance.
The damage that fire can cause can be tremendous. Knowing that the people living in your property are suitably protected is of prime importance for most property owners.
