ELECTRICAL SERVICES
ELECTRICIAN DERBYSHIRE
If you are looking for an electrician or electrical services in Derby or the surrounding area we can provide services for both residential and commercial customers. The range of services covers everything form a reactive emergency repair through to proactive changes to your environment. These can instigated by changing your vehicle and needing proper EV charging capabilities, through to renovating a kitchen, bathroom or creating a new extension which requires electrical power in new locations and new electrical spurs.
Electrical spurs are essential components in electrical systems, serving as dedicated outlets for specific devices. They allow for the convenient and safe distribution of electricity to appliances, tools, or equipment that require additional power. These are commonly fitted as part of a renovation project used in homes, workshops, and offices, as spurs provide a reliable solution to the increasing number of electronic devices and gadgets we use daily.
The need for electrical spurs arises from the limitations of standard power outlets. These outlets can become overloaded if too many devices are plugged in simultaneously. By installing a spur, you can alleviate the load on existing circuits, reducing the risk of tripped breakers or electrical fires. Installing electrical spurs help maintain the integrity and efficiency of the electrical system, ensuring that devices receive adequate power without fluctuations. This is especially important for high power items such as cookers, washing machines & driers.
Only qualified professional electricians should fit electrical spurs to ensure compliance with safety regulations to minimising risks associated with improper installation. Our electricians can assess the existing electrical system against your plans and determine the correct placement for spurs, and ensure that all associated wiring is done safely.

When someone calls for an emergency electrician, they are often facing urgent electrical issues that need immediate attention. Here are some common tasks that we see when we get an emergency electrician call:
A power outage - our first step is to determine the cause of a sudden power loss in a home or business, which involves checking the main electrical panel, circuit breakers, or local utility issues.
Flickering lights - following investigation and we will fix the issue causing the flickering or dimming lights, which will either indicate loose wiring, faulty fixtures, or overloaded circuits.
A burning smell or smoke, from outlets, switches, or electrical panels - this is a potential fire hazard so should be addressed immediately.
Tripped circuit breaker - whilst resetting tripped circuit breakers is simple our focus is on identifying the cause of the trip, and repairing any underlying issues, such as short circuits or overloaded circuits.
Electrical shocks - if someone reports an electrical shock when using appliances or outlets, this can signify grounding issues or faulty wiring.
Exposed wires - securing or replacing exposed or damaged wiring to prevent electrocution or fire hazards which is a quite common occurrence through a DIT activity where the presence of wiring has not been checked properly, or at all!
Dead outlets or switches - this can be urgent for powering some appliances such as fridges or freezers to ensure sufficient lighting in certain locations.
Overloaded Circuits - sometimes we are called out as a precautionary measure to address situations where too many devices are connected to a single circuit, and the homeowner is worried about this leading to overheating and creating a fire hazard.
Generator Issues - typically for business we will troubleshoot problems with backup generators if this comes up in regular testing, ensuring they are functioning properly in case of power outages.
Lighting fixture installation or repair - we are quick to install or repair essential lighting fixtures that may have stopped working or malfunctioned.
Wiring Issues After Storms - whilst not common, we have responded to damage caused by storms, such as downed power lines or lightning strikes, that may affect a property’s electrical system.
Outdoor electrical issues - we will deal with problems with outdoor lighting, power outlets, or wiring that can pose safety risks, often caused accidentally or those negligence where a homeowner has forgotten the location of outdoor cabling and has damage it whilst digging.
Whatever the issue, all these scenarios can cause a potential serious safety risk so our first emergency electrical step is to create a safe environment for the premises and its occupants before looking to address the root cause.
Rewiring
Rewiring is a crucial aspect of home improvement and safety, especially in older properties. It's typically recommended when a house is over 30 years old, exhibiting electrical issues, or undergoing significant renovations. Signs like flickering lights, frequent circuit breaker trips, or burning smells indicate the need for immediate rewiring.
Old wiring can be a safety hazard, and rewiring is essential for your home's safety and efficiency. Our team provides comprehensive rewiring services, including commercial and office rewiring to update your electrical systems. We work to minimise disruption and offer flexible scheduling options to fit your needs.
Rewiring enhances electrical safety, reducing fire risks associated with outdated wiring. Secondly, it improves electrical performance, providing a reliable power supply for modern appliances. Additionally, rewiring adds value to a property, making it attractive to prospective buyers. Improved energy efficiency is another advantage, potentially lowering electricity bills. Depending on your specifications, rewiring offers an opportunity to incorporate smart home technology.
EV Charging
Considering an electric vehicle? Our EV charger installation service makes it easy to power your vehicle at home. We assess your electrical system and install chargers that fit your lifestyle. Our team offers guidance on the best options and ensures all installations comply with safety standards.
Choosing the right EV Charger will significantly impacts the convenience, costs and ownership benefits from having an Electric Vehicle. Ideally, you should aim to install the charger before delivery to ensure seamless use right from the start.
Our electrician can help you select the appropriate charger type— Level 1 or Level 2—depending on your vehicle's charging capabilities and your daily driving habits.
The benefits of having a home EV charger are substantial. First, it provides the convenience of charging overnight, ensuring your vehicle is ready each morning. This reduces reliance on public charging stations, saving time and potential frustration. Furthermore, having a home charger can significantly lower your overall charging costs, especially if you choose to charge during off-peak hours.

Whether you need double sockets for your garden equipment or specialised lighting, our team ensures all installations adhere to the BS7671 wiring regulations to improve the functionality of your outdoor space.

So, planning ahead to ensure readiness for upcoming festivities and heightened outdoor activity. Our electricians can provide expertise in design, ensuring effective lighting placement and power supply. They can also assist with the integration of energy-efficient solutions, such as LED lights or solar-powered options, which promote sustainability.

Consumer Unit Installations
Installing a new consumer unit (also known as a fuse box or distribution board) is essential for ensuring electrical safety and efficiency in homes and businesses. Upgrading becomes necessary when your current unit shows signs of wear, is outdated, or does not meet modern safety standards. Additionally, if you plan to add significant electrical appliances or renovations, an upgrade may be required.
The benefits of a modern consumer unit are numerous. First, it enhances safety by incorporating RCDs (residual current devices) that protect against electrical shocks. It also provides improved circuit management, reducing the risk of overloads. Furthermore, a new unit often allows for future expansions, accommodating more circuits or devices. In summary, upgrading to a modern consumer unit is a wise investment for safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term functionality in any home or office.
A consumer unit is the hub for electricity in your home or business, so it is essential that you hire a qualified electrician that adheres to safety regulations and possesses the necessary skill, which those at Derbyshire Electrical Specialists do
New Sockets & Switches
Installing new power sockets and switches is a crucial that enhances electrical safety and convenience in homes or offices. It’s important to consider upgrading when you notice inadequate access to power, frequent overloading of existing outlets and excessive use of extension cables. Homes with outdated wiring may also benefit significantly from new installations as part of the rewiring process.
Our certified electrician will ensure the work complies with safety standards and include spurs and additional fuses to consumer units if required. They can recommend appropriate locations for new outlets based on existing cabling to minimise wall repairs, and advise on suitable types of switches and sockets.
Once installed the benefits of installing are numerous - increased accessibility allows for better placement of devices, reducing the reliance on extension cords, which can pose tripping hazards. New sockets can come with advanced safety features, such as surge protection or USB ports too.
New Electric Supply
Installing a new electrical supply is a unavoidable step for both residential and commercial properties when you’re expanding your space, renovating, or experiencing frequent power outages.
For existing rooms such as a garage or loft space bringing a new electrical supply effectively creates a brand new working space. Even if you haven't got the budget for a building transformation bringing lighting and power to allow portable electrical heating units to be used means you can have a new usable working space before any major transformation is done in the future.
A new supply installed properly will minimise the risk of electrical hazards, ensuring the safety of occupants
