Moving into a new home is exciting, but it also comes with important responsibilities.
One of the most crucial is ensuring the property’s electrical system is safe, modern, and compliant with UK regulations.
At NC Electrical, we work closely with first-time buyers, relocating families, and property investors in Henley-on-Thames and across South Oxfordshire to carry out thorough electrical inspections and upgrades.
Whether your new property is a character cottage, a modern estate house, or a recently renovated flat, our expert team is here to help you move in with confidence.
Many buyers assume a new property means no issues, but electrical systems often reveal hidden risks.
Even modern-looking homes can contain:
An early inspection ensures your property is safe for immediate use and highlights any essential upgrades before you fully settle in.
We provide a comprehensive range of services designed specifically for new homeowners:
Electrical Safety Inspections (EICR)
A full Electrical Installation Condition Report highlights potential issues within your fixed wiring and confirms whether your installation meets current BS 7671 standards. This is one of the most valuable checks a new homeowner can invest in.
This can also prove useful in negotiating a discount or price reduction for your new home in the event of unsafe electrics and repair needs. We provide reports for home buyers to aid in the negotiation and assure peace of mind.
Old fuse boards can’t offer the protection required by today’s standards.
We install modern, RCD-equipped consumer units for improved safety, especially important in family homes.
Extra Sockets and Power Points
Most modern households need more plug sockets than older homes provide. We install additional outlets and can include USB sockets or smart switches for added convenience.
Need garden lighting, security systems or power to outbuildings? We provide safe, weather-resistant outdoor installations that comply with Part P regulations.
Heating and Lighting Upgrades
We help new homeowners reduce energy usage and improve comfort through LED lighting, modern electric radiators, and programmable heating solutions.
Smart-Home Readiness
Planning a smart thermostat or voice-controlled lighting? We’ll ensure your wiring is up to the task and future-ready.
