Domestic electricians in West Somerset
Electrical improvements designed around your home
Renovating, extending or modernising a property often creates new demands on its electrical system. We assess the existing installation and help you plan work around your priorities.
Our domestic services include:
- Full and partial rewiring.
- Consumer unit replacement and upgrades.
- Additional sockets and circuits.
- Kitchen, bathroom and extension electrical work.
- Interior, exterior and garden lighting.
- Smart controls, home networking and media systems.

In older properties, careful planning helps identify suitable cable routes and positions for fittings. We consider the building’s character alongside the practical requirements of the installation.

Commercial electricians in West Somerset
Supporting local businesses and visitor accommodation
Reliable power and lighting are essential for day-to-day operations. We work with businesses and property managers to plan electrical improvements around the needs of their premises.
We welcome enquiries for shops, offices, hospitality venues, holiday accommodation, workshops and other commercial properties.
Services include electrical design and installation, distribution upgrades, lighting improvements, inspection and testing, fault finding and planned maintenance.
For occupied premises, we discuss access and scheduling early. Where suitable, work can be phased around opening hours, guest changeovers or other operational requirements.
Electrical work for rural and coastal properties
An installation suited to its surroundings
Location can influence the choice of electrical equipment and how it is installed. Coastal exposure, damp environments, outbuildings and longer cable routes all need consideration.
We assess the conditions at your property when planning outdoor lighting, external power supplies, EV charging and renewable energy equipment.
For rural properties, we can also review the electrical requirements of garages, workshops and other outbuildings. Supply capacity, cable routes and future use help determine a suitable approach.
Renewable energy in Minehead and West Somerset
Explore solar, battery storage and EV charging
We help homeowners and businesses consider renewable energy improvements around their buildings, electricity use and longer-term plans.
Solar panel installation
A solar PV assessment considers the available roof or installation area, orientation, shading and electrical infrastructure. We explain suitable options and the work required to connect the system.
Battery storage
Battery storage can help you make greater use of electricity generated by solar panels. We assess your usage patterns and equipment compatibility when discussing a new installation or an addition to an existing system.
EV charging
We install charging points for homes and business premises, with the design informed by parking arrangements, supply capacity and expected demand.
LED lighting and energy monitoring
Lighting upgrades and suitable controls can help reduce unnecessary electricity use. Energy monitoring provides information that can guide further improvements.

Solar, battery and EV system maintenance
Help your existing equipment keep working effectively
Renewable energy equipment benefits from appropriate inspection and maintenance. We provide services across West Somerset for solar PV systems, battery storage and EV charging equipment.
Depending on your installation, this may include:
- System inspections and performance checks.
- Battery diagnostics and servicing.
- EV charger inspections and safety checks.
- Solar panel cleaning where access and conditions are suitable.
- Solar panel bird-proofing assessments and installation.
The appropriate work depends on the equipment, manufacturer guidance, installation condition and any problems you have noticed.
Electrical testing and inspection
We provide electrical inspections and testing for homes, rental properties and commercial premises, including Electrical Installation Condition Reports.
An assessment can help establish the condition of an existing installation and identify recommended remedial work. This can be particularly useful when taking responsibility for a property or planning a refurbishment.
