MD Bespoke: Qualified in New Malden

If you are about to refurbish or decorate, it may be tempting to ask the decorator or builder to fit new sockets or carry out electrical rewiring. This is often the case when you are considering renovation to just one room or small contained area of your home; it can seem a waste of funds to call in the services of a local West Barnes electrician.
However, the dangers of using an inexperienced tradesperson may cost you dearly in faulty appliances or wiring which could lead to a fire. In fact every year about 70 people die and 350,000 are seriously injured from electrical accidents in the home in the UK.

The small cost of a report and any subsequent work is worth the outlay and you could be saving more than just money.
