A new build is a major undertaking, while it's exciting, it's also a frustrating and daunting process. Your site is overflowing with different trades and contractors, as you have to make endless decisions, while meeting a time frame, ensuring the build goes ahead as planned. Among these is the electrical installation, a critical element of any new build in Leeds, Bradford, or West Yorkshire. It needs to be right from the start and when you understand the process, you can make the best informed decisions, while avoiding any additional expenses.
Any electrical installation on a new build takes place in two stages; the first fix and the second fix.
The first fix happens before any plastering work. This stage is completed when the walls and ceilings are bare and accessible. This is when all the electrical cables, back boxes, and conduits are installed. This is a very important stage of a new build electrical installation, as the smallest mistake can be disruptive and expensive to correct, once the walls are plastered and decorated. This is why it's imperative to use an experienced, qualified, and certified electrical contractor, who pays attention to detail, ensuring every cable is routed accurately and every back box is positioned correctly.
The second fix, on the other hand, is the electrical installation stage that takes place once the plastering is complete and all decorations are finished. This stage is installing the important components, such as your sockets, light fittings, switchers, and your consumer unit. This is an essential step as the quality of the second fix has an impact on the final finish of your property. A professional and skilled electrician knows the importance of this stage, ensuring that every fitting is installed to perfection, aligning with the overall build quality.
Once the second fix is completed, the entire installation is inspected, thoroughly tested, and then certified to the latest BS7671 wiring regulations. You are then furnished with the relevant certification to prove your compliance. This is an important part of your property documentation and you will need it should you choose to rent or sell your property in the future.
New build electrical installations are two stage processes, followed by a thorough inspection, testing, and certification. This is a major undertaking and requires a professional, experienced, and certified electrical contractor, who not only pays attention to detail, but takes pride in their work, ensuring that every element is completed to perfection the first time.
