Electrician and electrical works

Periodic electrical testing, otherwise known as domestic EICR testing or an Electrical Inspection Condition Report (EICR), is a comprehensive inspection of your home’s electrical systems and installation. At The Veteran Building Company, our specialist periodic testing team can conduct these tests as part of our full range of domestic electrical solutions.

Unlike businesses and landlords, homeowners aren’t required by law to conduct a periodic electrical test, although it is often required as part of the buying or selling process. It’s also good practice to regularly check the safety of your home’s electrics, similar to how you would service a boiler or a car.

Rewiring a house isn’t the simplest of jobs – in fact, unless you have the relevant skills and training, you should always leave it to a professional electrician. At The Veteran Building Company, we provide a full rewiring service to homeowners across the UK, covering everything from initial survey to the safe installation of new wiring. Whether you’re looking to extend your property or are considering moving into a house that’s more than 25 years old, let us put your mind at ease.

Tackling electrical repairs on your own is never advisable unless you have a sufficient amount of skill and experience. Whether it’s a blown bulb or power shortage, The Veteran Building Company has the expertise to assist with any urgent electrical work that’s required in your home.

We have electricians in all parts of South Wales and the West of England from Bridgend and Cardiff to Carmarthen and Tenby and Bristol, who are available 24/7 and can typically respond to electrical emergencies the same day.

Smart home systems have revolutionised the way that we manage simple things like turning on the heating or lights, to how we consume news and get the weather forecast. The thought of controlling such things from our smartphone – or just using our voice – may have been unthinkable 20 years ago, but it’s now the reality for millions of people around the world.

From Nest’s suite of smart home products – including thermostat, doorbell and smoke detector – to the Amazon Alexa and Google Home smart speakers, it’s clear that smart technologies are making many tasks around the home easier and more efficient. At The Welsh Handyman Company, we can advise on the best home automation solutions for your property and assist with their installation.

Having the right lighting in your home can help improve its ambience and aesthetic appeal, while also making it more secure. Whether you’re looking to upgrade the lights in your house, save on energy costs or install new lighting for an extension, The Welsh Handyman Company can provide the expert assistance you need. Our electricians are highly trained in all aspects of home lighting design and installation, and always ensure that any fittings are carried out in accordance with the relevant safety regulations.
