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.

Adam was brilliant! Tidy, professional, able to offer us some helpful advice for other work we are doing on the house and very fair and transparent costings provided throughout. Will definitely use again!

Adam fitted some additional sockets and was really friendly, punctual and professional. Communications were really clear from when I sent the request (he’s also one of the only electricians I contacted online who actually replied) to when he sent me the final works certificate. He took time to explain what he was doing and why, and to give a few possible solutions when he found a problem during the work. There was also a really good balance of speed and thoroughness; the job was competed quickly but I felt reassured everything had been done well and checked properly. I will definitely call him for other work we need to have done in the future!

A Bathe Electrics have restored my faith in electricians again. I unfortunately had a terrible experience with another local electrical business, so finding someone trustworthy, considerate and mostly professional was a relief. Adam was prompt with replying, gave me very helpful advice and options before and throughout the job, just generally a fantastic and reliable tradesman. I had electrics installed in my loft and he did such a great job, I will be requesting him back to continue to build upon in my new home! 🙂

Adam was reassuringly meticulous in his approach and very professional and knowledgeable. He was transparent on cost with a very easy booking system and went above and beyond in giving us extra advice and tidying up some messy and incorrect bits of wiring he uncovered when swapping our plugs and switches.
"
Very professional! Responds to queries very quickly and took time out explaining everything beforehand. Work done quite neatly as well. Very pleased!

Adam was fantastic – communicated brilliantly and clearly, had a very professional booking system so we knew the time/date, and sorted out a new bathroom light fitting very quickly for us. He took the time to explain what he was going to do and was very open about additional labour which we may or may not have needed, which I appreciated. He also stuck around to give me some advice on mounting a bracket without drilling into existing power lines which wasn't part of the job but he was very happy to consult on. Really happy with the service and can't recommend him enough.

Had some sockets and switches changed. From my initial enquiry through to having the work done Adam was very professional and efficient. Great communication, up front with pricing and very helpful with quires and questions about further work I was thinking of having done. Would definitely recommend and definitely use again.
