Very polite gentlemen, professional and got the job done to a great standard in impressive time
From a single socket
Solar and storage is the bulk of what we do, but we came from the electrical trade and we never left it. The same engineers handle consumer units, rewires, fault finding and testing.

From an extra socket to a full rewire or an EICR on a rental, the price depends on what’s there now and what you want changing. A few questions gets us close enough to give you a proper answer.
TWO WAYS IN
For your own home,
or one you look after
Plenty of sites start with panels and add the rest later. That works, provided the first system is designed with the rest in mind — which is the part most installers skip.
Certificates issued and notified where the work requires it.
Ask about scheduling a portfolio on the same cycle.

Why DW Solar
The electrical side we never gave up
Renewables is the bulk of our work now, but the electrical trade is where we started and the qualifications are the same ones that make our solar installs tidy. It means the person wiring your kitchen is not a different standard of tradesman to the one on your roof.

Questions
Electrical FAQs
The questions we’re asked most often about testing, consumer units and certification. If yours isn’t here, ring and ask.
Need an electrician or an EICR?
Tell us what you need and we’ll price it properly.
An electrical installation condition report is a periodic inspection of the fixed wiring in a property. It records the condition of the installation and lists anything that needs attention, coded by how serious it is.
If you let property in England you are required to have one at least every five years, to give a copy to your tenants, and to put right anything identified as dangerous or potentially dangerous within 28 days. For your own home there’s no legal requirement, but a check every ten years or when you buy is sensible.
Not automatically because it’s old. What matters is whether the installation is safe and adequately protected — rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, or signs of overheating are the things that push it up the list.
We’d rather test the installation and tell you honestly than replace a board that is doing its job.
Where the work is notifiable, yes. As a NICEIC approved contractor we can self-certify and register the work, and the certificate and building control notification follow without you having to arrange anything.
You should expect paperwork on completion for any notifiable job. If an electrician doesn’t mention certificates, that’s worth asking about before they start.
For a typical three-bedroom house, usually the better part of a week, sometimes longer depending on access, plaster and how much of the property is in use.
It is disruptive work — floorboards up and walls chased — so where people are living in the property we often phase it by floor. We’ll set out the programme with the quote.
Usually. The complication is certification: we can only certify work we have inspected and tested, so there may be some testing to do before we can sign anything off.
We’ll tell you up front what we can certify and what we can’t.
Yes. Extra sockets, a light fitting, an outdoor point or a fault that needs chasing down are all worth a call, and there’s no minimum project we insist on.
If you are also thinking about a car charger or solar panels, mention it when you book. Doing both on one visit usually saves you money.
Need an electrician who certifies the work?
From a single socket to a full rewire, and EICRs for homes, rentals and commercial sites.
