What's Included in Loft Conversion Electrics
First Fix & Second Fix Explained

All cables, back boxes, and circuits installed before plastering. We work alongside your builder to ensure cable routes are planned for a clean finish.
Second Fix
Face plates, light fittings, switches, and final connections installed after plastering and decorating. Full testing, certification, and Building Control notification.
Building Regulations Requirement
Loft conversion electrical work is notifiable under Part P. Using an unregistered electrician means you'll need a separate Building Control inspection — adding cost and delays. As CHAS-accredited installers, we self-certify and notify Building Control for free.
