Helping Guildford Stay Powered and Protected
Since 2002, we’ve worked on all kinds of electrical projects across Guildford and the wider Surrey area. From rewires in old houses to power upgrades in warehouse units, we adjust our work to fit the building, the people, and the needs.
Guildford blends history and growth. Between busy high street shops, historic homes, student flats near the University, and modern offices in business parks—it’s a town with variety. Each of these properties comes with challenges, and we know how to handle them. Old wiring can struggle with modern loads. New builds might need extra work to match standards. Let properties must stay safe for tenants. That’s where we come in.
We approach every job with the same priorities: safety, clarity, and tidy work.

Our work keeps your site running, your systems efficient, and your power supply ready for the next step.
Saving Energy and Planning Ahead
Energy bills are rising, and planning for the future means making smart moves now. We help homeowners and business owners reduce energy waste and prepare for what’s coming next.
LED Lighting That Cuts Costs
We upgrade traditional lights for modern LEDs in homes, shops, offices, and industrial spaces. LED reduces energy use and gives better, longer-lasting light. We can fit sensors to turn off lighting in empty areas or design standout lighting features for halls, displays, or outdoor spaces.
EV Charging for Home and Business
Electric vehicles are common in Guildford. Many homes have electric cars or expect them soon. We install:
- Domestic charge points for garages and driveways
- Smart app-connected chargers with off-peak settings
- Staff and fleet chargers for local businesses
We assess your system, design the install route, fit the charger, and get it working. If your charger isn’t working right, we also offer repair and replacement.
Solar Power Support and Upkeep
If you’ve had solar panels for a while and noticed performance drop, we can check over the system. We test wiring, isolators, and inverters to make sure everything connects safely. We repair faults and help protect your solar investment.
