Looking for an Electrician in Basingstoke?

1) Electrician in Basingstoke for Electrical Upgrades, Garden Rooms and Certification

I'm Darren May, the electrician behind MAYTRICS LIMITED. We carry out electrical work throughout Basingstoke and the surrounding areas, including consumer unit upgrades, fuse board replacements, EV chargers, new circuits, EICR testing, fault finding, kitchen electrics, bathroom electrics and general domestic electrical maintenance.

One recent project in the Basingstoke area involved supplying power to a new garden room from the property's existing electrical installation. The work included splitting the incoming meter tails, installing a dedicated switch-fuse and running a new supply to the cabin.

Inside the garden room, we installed a new consumer unit to accommodate a 32A ring final circuit for sockets, a 20A radial circuit for future air conditioning and a 6A lighting circuit. The installation was first fixed, second fixed, inspected, tested and certified before being put into service. We also submitted the Building Regulations notification so the customer could receive their Building Compliance Certificate.

2) REAL EXPERIENCE WORKING IN BASINGSTOKE

We have completed a range of domestic and commercial electrical work throughout Basingstoke and Deane.

Alongside domestic work such as garden rooms, kitchen renovations, consumer unit upgrades and general electrical maintenance, we have also carried out EICRs for two Pizza Hut Delivery branches in the Basingstoke area.

The garden room project is a good example of the type of work that requires proper design and planning. It was not simply a case of adding a socket outside. The installation required a dedicated supply, suitable protection, a consumer unit within the cabin, correctly designed final circuits, testing, certification and Building Regulations notification.

4) WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CONTACT US

The easiest way to get in touch is through our website enquiry form. You can describe the work and attach photos or videos, which helps us understand what is required before responding.

We review your enquiry and, where necessary, contact you to discuss the work in more detail. In many cases, we can provide advice or a budget estimate before visiting.

For larger projects, we usually arrange a site survey. This allows us to assess the existing installation, cable routes, consumer unit, earthing, bonding and any practical issues that may affect the work.

Once we have the information needed, we provide an estimate or quotation. If accepted, we agree a date, order materials and carry out the installation.

Where required, the work is tested, certified and explained before we leave.

5) PRICING

For larger electrical upgrade projects in Basingstoke, pricing is typically from £2,000 depending on the work involved.

We usually provide an estimate based on an on-site survey. Once accepted, testing is carried out. If everything proves to be as expected, it is rare for the estimate to change.

However, our quotes and estimates clearly state that all works are subject to testing and on-site assessment. If additional works are required, we raise this with the customer and discuss it before proceeding.

6) WHY CHOOSE MAYTRICS LIMITED

• When you contact MAYTRICS LIMITED, you deal directly with me rather than an AI receptionist or call centre.
• We are Which? Trusted Trader approved, NICEIC registered, Part P certified and City & Guilds Level 3 qualified.
• We have over 175 Google reviews and 235 Checkatrade reviews.
• We do not quote jobs purely to compete on price. Our focus is quality workmanship, customer service, compliance, reliability and doing the job properly first time.

7) WHAT OTHERS GET WRONG

One of the most common issues we see is electrical installations that have not kept pace with how people now use their homes.

Older consumer units may have been suitable when installed, but they were not always designed for EV chargers, induction hobs, garden rooms, home offices, air conditioning or increased electrical demand.

We also see DIY electrical work where connections have not been tightened properly, light fittings have been wired incorrectly or alterations have been made without testing. Electrical work is not just about getting something to work. It needs to be safe and comply with BS 7671.

8) MATERIALS AND BRANDS WE USE

We do not fit the cheapest products simply to reduce costs. We choose equipment that offers a good balance of quality, reliability, appearance and long-term value.

For EV chargers, we regularly recommend the Ohme Home Pro and Ohme ePod.

For consumer units, we commonly install Scolmore Click Elucian.

For sockets, switches and accessories, we often use the Click range because it provides a clean, slimline finish at a sensible price point.

Where appropriate, we are happy to install customer-supplied accessories, provided they are suitable and comply with current regulations.
