Electrics in Extensions and Loft Conversions in Leamington Spa and Warwickshire
1010 Electrical wire extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions across Leamington Spa, Warwick, Kenilworth and Southam. We work to your builder programme, attend at first fix and second fix, and issue the certification your Building Control officer or approved inspector needs to sign the project off.
What electrics in extensions and loft conversions involves
New habitable space brings new circuits, and those circuits have to be integrated with the existing installation rather than bolted onto it. We assess the existing board capacity, the earthing arrangement and the main bonding before the extension is watertight, because that is when a board change is straightforward and cheap to schedule.
At first fix we run cabling, fit back boxes and drop pendant cables while the studs and joists are open, protecting cables at the correct depths and with the right mechanical protection. Floors are covered with membrane boards during the building works so the finished surfaces stay clean.
Loft conversions bring specific requirements around smoke and heat alarm systems, which must be interlinked and mains powered with battery backup on a grade appropriate to the layout. We specify and install the system to suit your approved plans, and we coordinate directly with your builder and Building Control.
At second fix we install accessories, lighting and heating controls, test everything, and issue an Electrical Installation Certificate with the full schedule of test results. Where the project needs Part P notification we handle that through NAPIT so your builder is not chasing paperwork at handover.

Straight with us and booked in within a week
We had our bathroom renovated by Wickes recently, and their installers needed the electrics signed off as compliant before they could finish the job. We had already had the electrics checked before moving in last September, specifically because we had been burned by a previous house and wanted it done properly. So we assumed it would be fine. Turns out the fuse box was not up to current standards. Ben and his team were straight with us about it and they did not mess us about. Instead of pushing our bathroom work back by weeks, they got us booked in within a week and had the whole thing sorted in half a day. They know what they are doing and they are not going to cut corners or take you for a ride. I will use them again without hesitation.
Fantastic, for both domestic and commercial
I cannot recommend 1010 Electrical highly enough. Ben was absolutely brilliant, a can do attitude, great communication, a lovely tidy job, great price. For both domestic and commercial jobs, this company is excellent.
Highly recommended for our cafe
I have had several dealings with this business over the last six months hoping to get my small cafe up to standard and in response to several issues. Nothing but professional at all times, incredibly proactive and confident enough to offer suggestions and alternatives where appropriate. Good communication and a good quality of service provided. I would highly recommend using Ben for any electrical needs at home or at your place of work.
