How we work, step by step.
Isolate
Circuit turned off at the CU, tested dead with an approved voltage tester.
Swap
Old plate unscrewed, terminals labelled, wires transferred one at a time so polarity is kept.
Test
Each switch tested with a multimeter for continuity before plate re-fitted.
Re-energise
CU switched back on, every switch tested for correct circuit operation.
— Materials & kit
What we bring to the van.

- Crabtree / MK / Schneider metal plates
- Approved voltage tester
- Torque screwdriver
- Crimp + lever connectors

— Frequently asked
3 answers before you book.
Is this Part-P notifiable?
No — like-for-like accessory swaps are non-notifiable. Adding new circuits or dimmers is a different scope.
Can you fit USB sockets?
Yes — most brands now do USB-A and USB-C combos. Add £10 per socket for the fitting.
What about smart dimmers?
Lutron Caséta and Shelly modules are common. Send the model number on WhatsApp and we'll confirm fit.
