Electrician in Redhill
A fuse box that has seen better days, electrics that trip for no obvious reason, or a new electric car with nowhere to charge it at home? AJS Electrical Services works across Redhill, on everything from a single fault to a full rewire. Tell Alex what is going on and the job is looked at, explained in plain terms and quoted before any work starts.
What usually prompts the call
An old fuse board. Fuse wire instead of switches, no test button, or a board an EICR or house survey has flagged.
Something keeps tripping. A circuit goes off again soon after you reset it.
A new electric car. You want a home charger and are not sure the supply or board can take it.
A fault you cannot trace. A dead socket, flickering lights or part of the house with no power.
A renovation. A kitchen, bathroom or extension that needs new circuits, sockets or lighting.
New lighting. Downlights, pendants or outside lights, or a fitting that needs replacing.
You do not need to know the technical name for the problem. Describe what you can see, or send a photo, and AJS will work out what is behind it.

EV charger installations
A home charger adds a large load that runs for hours at a time, so the starting point is a check of the incoming supply and the consumer unit. A board with no spare ways has no room for the new circuit, which is worth knowing early. After that, the practical questions are where the charger is mounted and how the cable gets there from the board, which depends on whether you park on a drive, in a garage or beside the house. The charger is then fitted, connected, tested and certified before you use it. See EV charger installation.
Consumer unit upgrades
It is worth having a consumer unit looked at if it still uses fuse wire, has no RCD test button, trips often or was flagged on an EICR. Adding an EV charger or a new kitchen is another sensible point to check it, because both add load. Age alone does not mean a board must go: AJS checks it first and says plainly whether it needs replacing. See consumer unit upgrades.

Common questions
Does AJS cover all of Redhill?
Yes. Redhill is one of the four service areas AJS lists on Google, alongside Reigate, Tadworth and Nutfield. If you are on the edge of town and unsure, ask when you get in touch. See areas we serve.
Can AJS install a home EV charger?
Yes. The supply and consumer unit are checked first, then the charger position and cable route are agreed with you before anything is fitted.
What happens during a consumer unit upgrade?
The existing board is checked first. If it does need replacing, the reasons are explained and the work is quoted. The power has to be off while the board is changed, and the new unit and circuits are tested and certified before handover.
What helps when asking for a quote?
Where the work is, what you want done or what is going wrong, and a photo if you can: the fuse board, the room, or where you park if it is for an EV charger.
Can AJS find out why a circuit keeps tripping?
Yes. Fault finding traces the cause rather than just resetting the switch. The RCD keeps tripping guide explains what a trip usually means.
