Why Professional Wiring is Essential for Your Home Extension

Back to topIt’s essential that your home extension wiring is carried out by a qualified electrician, not a general builder or unlicensed contractor. Electrical work is complex and carries inherent risks if not done correctly. Having a qualified electrician ensures that your wiring is safe, compliant, and done to the highest standards.
Allowing a builder or unqualified individual to handle the electrical work could put your family and home at serious risk of electrical faults, fires, or shocks. In the long run, improper electrical work can end up costing significantly more, as unsafe or non-compliant installations may need to be redone to meet UK regulations. Whether you choose Tungsten Services or another qualified provider, make sure that a certified electrician handles all electrical work for your extension. It’s an investment in the safety and longevity of your property.

How long does it take to wire a home extension?
The timeline depends on the size of your extension and the complexity of the wiring. A standard single-room extension typically takes 1-2 days, while larger or multi-room projects may take longer. Our team will provide a detailed timeline after the initial assessment.
Will my home’s existing electrical system support the new wiring?
Most modern homes can handle additional circuits without major upgrades, but our team will assess your current system and advise on any updates if needed. This ensures that your existing setup can safely support the extension.
Can you install outdoor lighting or power outlets for extensions with external areas?
Yes, we can install weatherproof outdoor sockets and lighting as part of your extension wiring. This is ideal for patio or garden spaces connected to your new extension.
What are the benefits of using energy-efficient lighting in my extension?
Energy-efficient lighting, such as LED lights, can reduce electricity bills and minimize heat output. They also have a longer lifespan, meaning fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs.
Will there be any disruption to my electricity during the wiring process?
There may be brief power interruptions while we connect new circuits to your existing system. We’ll inform you of any planned outages in advance and aim to keep disruptions to a minimum.
Do I need to get building regulations approval for extension wiring?
Yes, wiring for an extension must meet UK building regulations. At Tungsten Services, we ensure that all installations are fully compliant and provide certification upon completion to support your building compliance needs.
