Domestic Extensions & Conversions in Glasgow — Electrics Ready Before the Plasterer Arrives
Extending or converting your home means your electrics need to extend with it. We work alongside your builder or architect from first fix to final certification, covering everything from extra sockets to new circuits and lighting design.
What's Included
- First and second fix wiring
- Loft, garage, and outbuilding conversions
- Coordinated with your build timeline
- Building Standards certification
Often booked alongside our Domestic Extensions & Conversions: Kitchen Electrical Installations — sockets, lighting, and appliance circuits for new and renovated kitchens.
First Fix vs Second Fix, Explained
If you've not been through a build before, 'first fix' and 'second fix' get thrown around a lot without much explanation. First fix happens once the structure's up but before walls are closed — we run all the cabling to every socket, switch, and light position, coordinated with the builder so nothing gets boarded over before it's in place.
Second fix comes after plastering and decoration — we come back to actually terminate everything: fitting sockets, switches, light fittings, and connecting into the consumer unit. Getting the timing of both right with your builder is what keeps an extension on schedule, which is why we'd rather be brought in at the planning stage than after first fix should have already happened.
