Escape to the Summer House | Electrical Installation of a Summer House
During Lockdown our gardens have become even more important. Everyone loves their home, but sometimes there feels a need to escape from the house. That’s when your garden comes into play. However, sometimes the patio might feel too exposed, or you might just be wanting to shelter from the elements whilst getting a breath of fresh air. Having a summer house to escape to could be the answer.
That’s exactly what this client was after a relaxing place to retreat to where they could read, relax and listen to music. However, for various reasons, this installation required quite a bit of problem-solving. There were four main problems that needed thought and three solutions that were identified.
1. A wooden structure
The electrical installation of a summer house needs to be approached with a lot of thought because, as the building fabric is wood, movement between the elements of the structure is possible. Wires that were tightly fixed to the structure may be damaged as the wood warps with time.
This particular project was installed in conduit to allow for movement of the cables if necessary.
2. Limited space for sockets
The client wanted additional sockets for phones, speakers, and a fan. The customer did not want to sleep in the summer house in the depths of midwinter, but having the option of a heater to keep the chill off in the evening was a requirement. All these appliances would need electrical points.
Due to the limited space available, I suggested installing USB sockets. This allows for additional appliances to be run from the same socket point.
3. Poor lighting
The client wanted to be able to read at night. The structure also had an additional storage area. I installed lights so that finding things would not be an issue.
External lighting was also a requirement so that approaching the summer house at night was easy. This way the path and door would be well lit to enable ease of access.

We were really pleased with the service we received from Adam. He came out to check some lights that we thought were faulty and ended up replacing six spotlights in our kitchen with LED spotlights.
The difference the new lighting has made is fantastic — the kitchen is so much brighter and the lighting is much better than it was before.
He was punctual, professional and friendly throughout, with excellent communication from start to finish. He always responded promptly to any questions or messages and carried out the work efficiently and to a very high standard.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will definitely use his services again in the future. A really professional and friendly service from start to finish! Thank you very much.

Recently I tried to change my bathroom extractor fan myself, I couldn’t get it to work so I contacted Adam. He was able to diagnose the issue (the previous unit was running on 12 volt). Adam arranged a date to come and install new cabling for the 240 volt and install the unit correctly. However, post installation during his testing phase Adam identified a fault with the new fan, he identified an issue with the board and was willing to wait whilst I sourced a new one from the local trading merchant. Adam is a kind, professional and dedicated electrician. He knows the industry well, maintains great communication and keeps the client at all that he does. He is also incredibly reasonably priced!
Thanks Adam.

Adam had been recommended to me by several friends when I found myself without power and unable to find the issue. I was not disappointed. He came round within an hour of me calling. He was clear about his prices and kept me fully updated throughout. Will definitely use again.

Adam provides excellent service. He is very professional, and communicates with you throughout the process, from booking an appointment, to completing the work.

Adam has been extremely helpful and efficient from start to finish. He has completed various socket installations and upgrades and added downlighters on my landing. His team worked hard and were clean, tidy and polite throughout. I was impressed with his attention to detail and his explanations about the procedures involved helped me work out what was useful to do and what wasn't in terms of my budget. I am happy to recommend him.

Adam was absolutely fantastic. He switched over most of the lights in our house and was really accommodating fitting us in when we had tight time constraints. He was attentive, talked us through everything and made some much needed fixes to our wiring in addition to the changes. The work was brilliant and we hugely appreciated the time he spent with us.

Adam came out at short notice to check a potential safety issue with our consumer unit - he was very thorough and explained everything clearly. Have now requested Adam to carry out some further non-urgent work.
