Extension electrical work in Lees
- 01
Plan the electrics early
It's easy to leave the electrics until the walls are up, but that's when changes get expensive. Decide where sockets, switches, lights, heating controls and data points will go while the extension is still on paper, so the cables can go in at the right stage.

Will your consumer unit cope?
An extension adds new circuits, and an older consumer unit may not have space or the right protection for them. We check this at the start, so you know whether the board needs upgrading before your builder's programme is fixed, rather than finding out halfway through.

Signing off the extension
Building control needs evidence that the electrical work meets the regulations before it signs off the extension. As an NICEIC registered electrician, we self-certify our work, register it for you and provide the Electrical Installation Certificate for your building control file.
What to expect from extension electrical work
We look at the plans with you and agree positions for every socket, switch and light. We check your consumer unit and existing circuits, then provide a free quote and agree a timetable with your builder. Any changes to the plans can be priced before they're done.
First fix happens once the shell is up and before plasterboard goes on. Cables are run, back boxes fixed and any new circuits taken back to the consumer unit. After plastering, we complete the second fix, test every circuit and hand over the certificate.
What's included
- Layout agreed from your plans

Extension electrical work questions
When should the electrician start on my extension in Lees?
We should be involved at the planning stage, so the layout is agreed early. The first fix follows once the walls, roof and floor structure are in, and before plasterboard and plastering. We agree the exact dates with your builder.
Will building control in Oldham need an electrical certificate?
Yes. Building control won't usually issue a completion certificate for an extension until it has evidence the electrics meet the regulations. Because we're NICEIC registered, we register the work and give you the certificate, so no separate electrical inspection is needed.
Can you wire a loft conversion in my Lees home?
Yes. Loft conversions need lighting, sockets and often heating controls and smoke alarms, wired before the ceilings and walls are boarded. We also check the circuits that already run through the loft space, as some may need moving or protecting during the conversion.
Can I add extra sockets after the extension is finished?
Yes, but it's more work once walls are plastered and decorated, as cables have to be chased in or run in trunking. It's worth adding a few spare sockets at the planning stage, even if you're not sure you'll need them.
