How It Works

You get a detailed written quote and installation schedule, including any Building Regulations notices, circuit diagrams and component specs.
Installation, testing & certification
Work is installed to BS7671, tested with full commissioning records and handed over with certificates, labelled circuits and maintenance notes.

What GLR Electrical does for your extension
Whether it’s a rear single-storey extension, loft conversion or garage-to-habitable-room conversion, GLR Electrical provides the full electrical fit-out: new radial and ring circuits for sockets, dedicated cooker and hob supplies where needed, lighting circuits with LED downlights or pendant lighting, heated towel rails, external sockets and switchgear. We take care of containment, trunking or recessed cables, run mains tails from the consumer unit and produce load calculations so your existing distribution can cope — or advise on a consumer unit upgrade if it can’t.
How we integrate with the rest of your home
Integration is planned to avoid overloads and preserve existing circuits. We label all new circuits, leave as-built diagrams, and supply test certificates on completion. If Building Regulations notification is required we’ll advise and provide the necessary electrical completion documentation. Our approach is practical and homeowner-friendly: clear explanations, minimal disruption and sensible sequencing with your builder or kitchen fitter.
— FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. We perform load calculations during the initial survey to see if your current consumer unit can accept additional circuits. If the board is full or lacks sufficient RCD/RCBO protection, we’ll recommend a compliant consumer unit upgrade and explain why it’s necessary for safety and future-proofing.
