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.

I would highly recommend Adam for any electrical work. He replaced some sockets in our house. He was on time, tidy and quick to get the work done. He is friendly and professional. Thank you for a great job!

Firstly, each and every one of Adam’s 5-star reviews are well deserved! I initially contacted Adam via his business WhatsApp account, and within minutes he had replied offering me a slot the following morning! Unfortunately, I couldn’t accommodate that time and Adam made a point of fitting in around my schedule and visited later in the evening to assess what I wanted doing.
A week later I was booked in! A few days prior to Adam arriving, I had a slight hitch as other work was going to be carried out on the same day that he was due to arrive. On bringing this to his attention he was more than accommodating and arranged to come much earlier in the day, to ensure that he had completed the electrics prior to my other work being carried out. I can’t thank him enough for this, as he made what could have been an awkward situation stress free.
On the day, he arrived on the dot and set about changing two lights and fitting some double sockets. He just went about his work, and he’s a very lovely man to talk to and really puts you at ease. Within the timescale that he promised he had completed all the work, and talked me through what he had done
He runs a very professional business, from the ease of navigating his website to making payment everything went smoothly. For extra bonus points he brings along a battery back up to ensure customers have wifi access, very handy if you happen to be WFH at the time.
I can’t thank Adam enough for his professionalism, and he comes highly recommended for me. No more scrambling around trying to find an electrician when I need one, I just need to find an ‘Adam’ in all the other trades now. THANK YOU!

Adam was really responsive, turned up exactly when we’d arranged, was thorough and explained exactly what was needed and why. He was really accommodating and managed to fit the job in flexibly. He and his apprentice were great and really friendly too.

I saw Adam had glowing reviews on google search and when I called him to enquire, he was very professional over the phone.
In person, Adam is so friendly, knowledgable about his trade and the results of his work are outstanding. I am so happy with my kitchen lights, I would 100% recommend Adam for any electrical work.

I contacted Adam after my boiler was giving an error code about low voltage. I wasn't sure if I should be contacting an electrician or plumber tbh!
Adam was helpful from the get go. Great communication including letting me know when he could attend, what the options were as to whether it might be an electrical issue externally, or an internal boiler issue.
Adam arrived when he said he would, explained what he was testing, why, and what the results were.
So grateful to have found a local electrician who clearly loves & excels in his work. Thank you, Adam!
