Planning an Extension

An extension is a popular choice for many Woburn Sands homeowners. They are a great way to increase space and add value to your property. Moving home can be costly and there are often many good reasons to stay where you are. So where should you begin with extension plans?

Key to any successful home improvement project are professional, reliable tradespeople. This is never truer than with an extension. Building an extension will require the services of a builder, electrician and a plumber at a minimum. You will want to find tradespeople who can work well together. Safe Check Electrical have carried out the electrical installations in many successful extension projects and we enjoy working alongside other trades.

You must also ensure that whoever carries out work in your extension can self-certify their work.

Any renovation project must comply with building regulations. All electrical work must comply with Part P of the building regulations. As such electrical work in an extension must be carried out by a competent, registered electrician. In the case of extension electrics, this would be a NICEIC registered electrician. For additional peace of mind, registered electricians also carry full insurance.

Planning Extension Electrics

Your extension electrics will need to be designed to suit your specific plans for the new space. Your extension electrician will have some questions about how you plan to use your extension and what functions you want the electrics to fulfil. Lights and plug sockets will be placed exactly where you need them, allowing you to use the space effectively. If no care is taken in planning your extension electrics, you may find your new lights aren’t in the right place or you have insufficient sockets.

Whilst planning you extension electrics, your electrician will also look at your current electrical system to ensure it can handle the additional power demands of the extension. A new fuse board may be needed to increase capacity. They will also look at the age and condition of the wiring in the rest of your home. Your electrician may recommend a rewire as part of the project if your wiring is nearing the end of its lifespan. By choosing an experienced electrician to plan your extension electrics you can be sure that all possibilities will be considered before work begins and that there will be no expensive surprises along the way.
