Services

Some of the services that FACELIFT ELECTRICAL provide our customers.

Inspecting & testing & periodic reports

Every electrical installation deteriorates with use and time. Therefore, it is important that it is periodically inspected and tested by a qualified electrician. This could be very important if you are a landlord or for letting purposes.

You may require a Periodic Inspection Report on the electrical installation if you are considering buying a new home or thinking of renting business premises ie hair salon, newsagent, florist shop etc and would like to know the condition of your electrical installation, Facelift Electrical Services are qualified to carry out this service

Fuseboards/Consumer Units

From 1st July 2008 one of the major changes of the BS7671:2008 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations is that all circuits, ie, power, lighting, shower, cooker etc, should be protected by a 30 milliamp RCD (Residual Current Device) for any cables installed at a depth of less than 50mm from a surface of a wall or a partition, where the cables do not incorporate mechanical protection or earth metallic covering etc.

This situation will usually be the case for installations in domestic or similar premises unless the installation is intended to be under the supervision of a skilled or an instructed person.

The above statement also applies to new rewires and any additional or new circuits installed after July 2008.

Examples of consumer units that do not meet british standards and pictures of electrical installations which are poor and in dangerous condition.

Before

These consumer units/fuseboards do not meet current British Standards. This can be due to visible damage eg, broken fuse carriers, no residual circuit device (RCD) protection, no capacity for additional circuits (requires more circuit ways), or the consumer unit has a wooden back which can be a fire hazard or cable joints which are not terminated properly and are live and exposed. This can be a major factor in causing an electrical fire.

After

Examples of consumer units which DO meet British Standards. These consumer units are protected by an RCD (Residual Current Device) which will give you better protection to accommodate the upgrade along with the necessary MCBs (mini circuit breakers) to suit. This gives overload and short circuit protection for the final circuits, as well as the capability of disconnecting a faulty circuit at a faster tripping time.

“My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to inform you how pleased we are with the HIGH standard of work carried out today by Facelift Electrical Services engineers. The work was carried out in a very professional manner, with great attention to detail. The engineers were a credit to your company, and I will of course inform my peers who to contact if they need the services that your company provide.”

R West, Surrey

“We were very impressed with the speed and efficiency which Facelift installed our new fuseboard and garden lighting. The testing process was extremely thorough and they in explained everything to us in detail. They even cleaned up after themselves!

“I have already passed their business card on to someone so will certainly recommend them again.”

A. Pennington and S. Wray, West London

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Facelift Electrical for their top 1 service. They attended my property to install a new fuseboard. They detected many problems with the house and presented ways that they could be rectified. The team worked in a very professional manner and go the “extra mile”.

Thank you so much for your high standard of work and all the advice and explanations you gave along the way.

Mains and low voltage lighting

Facelift Electrical Services install two forms of downlights to give a more modern, contemporary look to your lighting, in your home or business premises (ie bathroom, kitchen, lounge, office etc).

One form is operated via 12v transformers
The other is operated by mains supply, ie 240v and does not require a transformer. Downlights come in different decorative finishes, such as brass, chrome, white, and are supplied as to clients’ specification

“Thank you for the time the two engineers spent at our place completing the electrical works we requested. I just wanted to email and let you know what a wonderful job you guys did, and how we are both very happy with the standard of the job. It has completely changed the look and feel of our place. If we need to do any more work in future, we will definitely call you to do so.”

L Johnson, London

Thank you for the wonderful work you did in my house. Everything was done to perfection, even the clean up job afterwards.

I would definitely use your company again and will recommend you to my friends.

Keep up the good work

Garden lighting and patios

We also install garden lighting which works from a remote system (key fob) giving the facility to program your garden lighting to switch on independently in different areas of the garden. This works from a hand held 4 channel remote control unit. This gives you the facility to highlight individual specimen plants, trees or areas of particular focus within your garden and can also switch on lighting within a pond. You can also have a choice of white or coloured lighting.

Our garden lighting installations are protected by an RCD (Residual Current Device) unit which gives you additional circuit protection. We ONLY supply weatherproof fittings.

“I am writing to compliment the excellent work carried out with the garden lighting at my residence.

“The entire project was carried out with great attention to detail, with regular progress updates and in consultation with me to ensure the location of the lights and fittings met with my requirements. I appreciate the extra effort that was put in to ensure all the cables were well hidden; even going as far as taking the decking apart to hide the cables so as not to ruin the aesthetics of the garden.

“Great work, terrific result, I will be delighted to use your services in the future.”

“I found FACELIFT on “TrustaTrader”. Their expertise and professionalism instilled me with confidence from the start. Their ideas and suggestions were invaluable. I had my house completely re-wire inside and out and it looks fantastic.

“I really didn’t expect the results to be so good and the process to be so painless. I am so grateful to the chief Engineer and his team for turning up ‘on time every time’ and keeping me informed every step of the way. There were also no shocking ‘added extras’ you so often get hit with.

“I will, and have, recommended Facelift to anyone needing electrical work. Thank you.”

P Yasui, Northolt

I had lot of work carried out at my house. They listened to my concerns and took them into consideration when carrying out the work. The advice I was given was excellent which I took on and I am very pleased with. Every stage of the work was explained to me and afterwards they ensured I was happy with that work. Overall, I am very pleased with the work and how the work was carried out.

N. Henderson, Edgware

Facelift were excellent, not only did they do a great job but treated my 80-something parents fantastically, ensuring they were as unsettled as possible. They updated me frequently with what was happening and also helped sort out a problem with my parents’ energy supplier. They are a credit to the Company and the industry. I would happily recommend them.

What a pleasure it was to discover Facelift Electrical Services, I cannot rate them highly enough. As well as being fully qualified to the highest standards, they are punctual, polite and tidy. They have full office back-up which gives written quotations promptly, keeps in touch by phone to check the job is going well, lets you know if they are running late, and invoices efficiently. They did a great job for a good price, but what a pleasure it was to deal with electricians who are knowledgeable.

Then they even call again to make sure you are completely happy with their work. It really does make a difference, and I would urge people to use this very amiable family business.
