Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a full rewire if my house is over 30 years old?
If your property’s wiring is over 30 years old, it is highly recommended to have it inspected. Electrical standards have changed significantly, and older wiring can be unsafe or insufficient for modern living. We offer free assessments to advise whether a full or partial rewire is necessary.
Will you plaster and make good after completing electrical work?
Yes! Unlike many electrical contractors, we include full plastering and making good after our electrical work. This means your walls and ceilings are left smooth, tidy, and ready for decorating – saving you time, hassle, and extra costs.
Are you fully accredited and insured?
Absolutely. Robinson Electrical Contractors are fully approved and insured, ensuring all work is completed to the highest safety and quality standards, with full certification provided.
Can you carry out electrical work in commercial and industrial premises?
Yes, we specialise in domestic, commercial, and industrial electrical services. Whether it’s a retail unit, office, warehouse, or manufacturing site, we have the skills and experience to deliver safe, efficient solutions tailored to your needs.
How long does a full house rewire take?
Typically, a full rewire takes between 5 to 10 working days depending on the size and complexity of the property. We’ll always provide a clear timescale before starting work and aim to minimise disruption wherever possible.
What is an EICR and do I need one?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) checks the safety and compliance of your property’s electrics. It’s essential if you’re selling, letting, or simply want peace of mind that your electrical system is safe and up to standard.
Can you work outside of normal business hours for commercial projects?
Yes, we offer flexible scheduling for our commercial clients, including evenings and weekends, to ensure minimal disruption to your business operations.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Gloucestershire and cover Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cirencester, and all surrounding towns and villages. For larger commercial and industrial projects, we can travel further across the South West.
What types of consumer units (fuse boards) do you install?
We install modern, fully compliant consumer units equipped with RCDs (Residual Current Devices), MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers), and Surge Protection Devices, providing maximum safety and efficiency for your property.
