    I contacted GCL Electrical requesting assistance with an electrical issue that I had, they sent an electrical engineer out promptly to solve my lighting problem. Absolutely saved the day!

  • Sara Blair

    What a great Company to work with. Was recommend to us by my a friend. So glad I found Marc and his team to update my existing downstairs lighting system. All looks very posh and all done within my budget. Thanks Galvanize Contracts. I'll certainly use you again!!

  • Aaron Webster

    Recently had Marc and the team complete a rewiring on my house as it was outdated, as well as adding in additional sockets and outdoor lighting. The work was completed to a high standard, on time and to the original agreed price. The team were friendly and helpful, keeping me up to date with where they were up to at different stages of the work. When they left, the house was left clean and tidy (which i have found is a rarity). I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

My elderly mother had a burst pipe in her home, and water had flooded through light fittings and sockets. Even though it was Christmas holidays, Marc came straight out and inspected and advised with a follow-up after the house had dried out. He was very reassuring at a stressful time, and the company gave a very professional and honest service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Our electricians will ensure a safe installation that meets all building regulations and legal requirements. It is an extensive process, but our electricians will guide you.

    Does my property need rewiring?

    It is always essential to ensure that your wiring is safe to use and up to date with current Part P standards. One of our electricians will be able to inspect your system and tell you whether your system needs to be updated. Common signs you need a rewire include flickering lights, old-style outlets, overheating around sockets, and frequently tripping circuit breakers.

Newer fuse boards sometimes come with features to help detect problems or issues within the electrical system. Some models also have improved features and functionality, such as surge protection devices.
