Electrical · Norwich & Norfolk
From fitting a plug or an extra socket to a full rewire, every job installed, tested and certified for homes across Norwich and Norfolk.
What we do
Domestic electrical work is where Acorn started, and it still sits behind almost everything else we do. Phillip is Part P and 18th Edition qualified, and every circuit we install or alter is tested and certified to current regulations before we leave.
No job is too small and none is too large: a plug fitted or a socket moved, through to a consumer unit upgrade or a complete rewire. If what you need isn't listed below, it's almost certainly still something we do. Just call and ask.
Full and partial rewires and consumer unit upgrades, planned around a lived-in home and certified on completion.
Additional and replacement socket outlets, USB points and dedicated circuits, chased in and made good.
Outlets and switches moved, raised, lowered or turned into a tidier layout after a room changes.
IP-rated external outlets, garage and workshop supplies, correctly protected and certified.
Downlights, pendants, wall lights, under-cabinet strips and dimming, planned as layers, not a single ceiling rose.
Driveway, path, garden and security lighting, correctly rated, controlled and protected.
Mains-powered interlinked smoke, heat and CO detection, correctly sited, tested and certified.
Electric cookers, ovens, hobs and integrated appliances wired to a suitable circuit with proper isolation.
Systematic diagnosis of tripping, dead circuits and intermittent faults, with the cause explained before repair.

However small the job, the way we work never changes. These are the commitments behind every Acorn visit.
Every job starts with a clear, itemised quote in writing, so you know exactly what's included before we begin.
You deal directly with the person doing the work, from the first call through to final sign-off. No call centres, no hand-offs.
Dust sheets down, work areas protected and everything cleaned away at the end of each day. Your home is treated like our own.
All work meets current regulations, the business is fully licensed and insured, and certificates are issued where required.
Every job, without exception
No hidden extras
If anything changes once work begins, we'll explain it and agree the cost with you before going any further.
Local expertise
Norwich housing stock varies enormously street to street. A Victorian terrace off Unthank Road, a 1930s semi in Thorpe St Andrew and a new-build in Queen's Hills each present a completely different problem when you want power or light somewhere new: solid brick, lath and plaster, or dot-and-dab with a service void behind it. Working in Norfolk homes every week means we usually know what's behind the wall before the first hole.

Start to finish
Planning, ordering, creation and completion, all handled by Acorn, with one point of contact from the first visit to the final sign-off.
We visit, listen and talk through the options that suit your home and budget, then confirm everything in a free, written quote. Projects over £500 take a 50% deposit, with the balance on completion.
We source and order the materials, units and fittings, and arrange deliveries around the programme, so you're never left chasing suppliers. Already chosen your own? We're happy to fit them.
The work itself, carried out carefully and tidily by one team for the electrics, fitting and finishing. You'll know who is coming and what's happening each day.
Electrical work tested and certified, every detail checked, and the space cleaned and handed back only when you're happy. Afterwards, you'll still speak to the same person who did the job.

Common questions
Need a more specific answer? Call Phillip and you'll speak to the person doing the work.
Often, yes. It depends what else is on the circuit and how it's protected. We check the existing installation first. If adding load isn't sensible, we'll tell you what a dedicated circuit would involve instead.
Sometimes. Where a wall chase is needed the cable is run in a permitted zone, protected, and the chase is filled and made good. We'll explain the route before we start so there are no surprises.
Usually. If the existing cable has enough slack or can be safely extended in an accessible position, the move is straightforward. Where it can't be, we'll quote for a clean re-run rather than bury a joint somewhere it shouldn't be.
We fill and make good, which normally leaves a surface ready for decoration. If a large area is disturbed on a lath-and-plaster wall, we'll flag that before starting.
Sometimes, if the circuit has capacity and appropriate RCD protection. For anything more than occasional garden tool use (a workshop, for example), a dedicated supply is the better long-term answer.
Armoured cable to an outbuilding is buried at a sufficient depth with warning tape above it and mechanical protection where required. We'll agree the route with you before any digging.
Fewer than most people expect. Spacing depends on ceiling height, beam angle and what the room is for. We'd rather use six well-placed fittings with a dimmer than twelve at full output.
Cut-outs are neat and sized to the fitting, so the trim covers the opening. Where joists or existing services get in the way we adjust positions on site, which is why we set out before cutting.
