Trusted electricians in Corsham MAKE MISTAKES!

It's true. I'm a trusted electrician in Corsham and Bath and I too make mistakes. I've had a few people message me about smoke alarms recently and it;s because I've been changing some of my 'behind the scenes/back-end' systems and I've recently added the best part of 800 people in to my new system not realising that I accidentally put them in to an electrical safety tips email campaign. DOH!

How to know if you're due a home re-wire

Old and faulty wiring can be a hidden issue in many homes, especially those built over 30 years ago or on those that have had poor DIY work carried out by 'someone who knows electrics'. Sometimes the best case solution is to re-wire your home. Old and wiring will not always require a home re-wire but it may have faults that are not visible, the signs of wear and tear can show up various ways, things like sockets that get warm to the touch. Sockets or lights that occasionally stop working or random tripping of your fuseboard.

When was the last time you thought about the wiring in your home?

When was the last time you thought about the wiring in your home?

If your property is over 30 years old or you’ve noticed flickering lights, RCD's tripping at random or some really old sockets still in use, it might be time to consider a full re-wire of your home. Modern living puts greater demand on electrical systems, with everything from smart devices to home offices and EV chargers relying on reliable power.

Why you should consider re-wiring when you buy your forever home

Buying your forever home is an exciting step but have you thought about the condition of its wiring? Many older properties were wired using different techniques to today. Older homes quite often have multiple joint boxes under the floors which are susceptible to loose connections and other faults. These joint boxes are often impossible to locate and fix without lifting up flooring - quite the time consuming task!

A professional home re-wire will remove those weak-links that could cause issues in he future as all connections will be accessible.

What's the difference between an integrated downlight and a 'Can and Lamp' GU10 Downlight?

Recessed downlights (sometimes called spotlights) are popular for kitchens and bathrooms lighting as they are a modern style of lighting. Recessed downlights come in 2 main different forms, you have integrated downlights and GU10 Replaceable bulb downlights. In the trade these replaceable bulb versions are know as 'can and lamps'.

But what's the difference?

Why Extra Garage Sockets Can Make Your Home Safer

Extra sockets in your garage could make your home safer, the garage for a lot of people is a hub for storage, tools, DIY projects, chest freezers and a lot more. Garage sockets are often quite sparse, especially in a new build home. These are often limited to 1 double socket in the garage.

Here's why adding extra sockets to your garage is essential for electrical safety:

Take Care When Selecting an Electrician!!

Many Electricians in Bath and West Wiltshire are simply not interested in small electrical works. They want the choice jobs, and will drop you like a hot potato when a bigger, supposedly more lucrative, project comes in.

Others advertise as electricians having no qualifications.  They thrive on the basis that you don’t understand what they do and, as a result, overcharge for shoddy, and often dangerous, work.

I set up Watt & Co. Electrical in order to fill a gap in the domestic sector. I want to provide you with a quality service that provides you with exactly what you need from an electrician.
