Abacus Electrical: Expert Pre-Purchase Electrical Services in Nottingham

At Abacus Electrical Nottingham, we provide essential electrical insights and upgrades for home buyers and new homeowners across the city and county. Buying a home is the biggest investment you will ever make; our team ensures you know exactly what you are buying, helping you avoid dangerous wiring and expensive hidden repair costs before you exchange contracts.

Our Core Home Buyer Services

We understand that a standard RICS surveyor's report often excludes a detailed check of the electrics. We bridge that gap, offering peace of mind and leverage for price negotiations.

Pre-Purchase Inspections and Reports

Don't inherit someone else's DIY disasters. We provide thorough testing to reveal the true condition of a property's wiring.

• Homebuyer EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report): A comprehensive "health check" on the wiring, fuse box, and accessories to identify dangerous faults.

• Visual Safety Audits: A cost-effective walkthrough to spot obvious hazards like broken fittings or outdated fuse wire systems.

• Remedial Cost Estimates: If faults are found, we provide a clear, itemized quote for repairs that you can use to negotiate the house price.

• Part P Verification: Checking that previous extensions or kitchen alterations were signed off legally.

Moving-In Upgrades

Once the keys are in your hand, safety is the priority. We help make the property safe and ready for your family.

• Consumer Unit Replacements: Swapping old, rewireable fuse boxes for modern units with RCD and Surge Protection.

• Full or Part Rewires: Upgrading aging wiring in older Victorian or 1930s Nottingham properties before you decorate.

• Security Systems: Installation of burglar alarms, Ring doorbells, and security lighting for your new home.

• Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Ensuring your new home meets current fire safety standards immediately.

Renovation and Personalization

Making a house a home often means changing the layout. We help adapt the electrical infrastructure to your needs.

• Kitchen & Bathroom Electrics: Moving sockets and switches to suit your new design and appliance layout.

• Additional Sockets: Adding power points to bedrooms and living areas to eliminate dangerous extension leads.

• Lighting Upgrades: Replacing dated fixtures with modern LED downlights or mood lighting.

• EV Charger Points: Installing car chargers ready for the future.

Post-Purchase Support

• Fault Finding: Troubleshooting issues that only become apparent once you start using the appliances.

• Certification: Providing all necessary building control notifications for work undertaken.
