Although we gained a great deal of experience helping households across Derby, Chesterfield, Nottingham and Mansfield to transform their outbuildings into workspaces and accommodation before the pandemic, the increasing trend in home working meant we really honed our skills even more in line with the heightened demand.
As businesses bounced back and implemented new ways of working, which included less time in the office and increased social distancing, the demand for outbuilding conversions rocketed. Definitive Electrical was asked to rewire outbuildings, add plug sockets and light switches, electric heating, as well as providing wifi boosters, outdoor lighting and an array of alarm and CCTV systems to keep the home office secure.
The travel restrictions imposed by COVID also saw more and more residences across the East Midlands utilise outbuildings for their UK-based summer. Fewer international holidays meant swathes of Brits made the best of their holidays in the UK and that meant upgrading outbuildings to summer houses and additional accommodation. Again, rewiring was a key service in demand, with Definitive Electrical adding new wiring, circuit boards, as well as plugs and light switches, with an emphasis on ensuring damp was remedied and accounted for. After all, even minor damp problems can cause electrics to trip and even damage other equipment.
With bonfire parties and Christmas now approaching, outbuilding electrics continues to be an in-demand area of Definitive Electrical’s workload. If you’re considering converting an outbuilding or would like an existing outside space modernising and making safe, a member of the Definitive Electrical team can be with you in no time.
We price fairly and competitively and our engineers always outline the work required right from the start, focussing strongly on the customer and keeping them up-to-date on progress right through to completion.
