From full rewires and consumer unit upgrades to EV charger installation and smart home systems — Lewlec Electrical delivers safe, certified electrical work for homes and businesses across Carmarthenshire and West Wales.
Whether you need a straightforward socket installation or a complete commercial rewire, Lewlec Electrical brings the same level of care, safety, and precision to every job.
A complete rewire replaces all wiring, sockets, switches and consumer units to current BS 7671 standards — essential for older properties and those requiring modern safety compliance.
Older fuse boxes pose a fire and shock risk. Upgrading to a modern consumer unit with RCD and RCBO protection is one of the most important safety investments you can make.
Thoughtful lighting transforms a space. From recessed downlights and feature lighting to energy-efficient LED retrofits and exterior security lighting, we design and install to your brief.
Charge your electric vehicle safely and efficiently at home or your business premises. We supply and fit leading home EV charge points, handling all wiring and building regulations notifications.
We carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), periodic inspections, and portable appliance testing — required by landlords, letting agents, and commercial operators.
Bring your home into the modern age with intelligently connected systems for lighting, heating, security, and appliances — all controlled from your phone or via voice commands.
We treat every home as if it were our own. Tidy, careful, and respectful of your space — we work around your schedule and leave your property clean and safe. All domestic work is notified to your local authority under Building Regulations Part P.
We understand that downtime costs money. Our commercial team works efficiently and in compliance with all relevant standards — including BS 7671 18th Edition — to keep your premises safe, legal, and operational.
Switching to an electric vehicle is one of the smartest decisions you can make for your wallet and the environment. Installing a dedicated home charge point is essential — it's dramatically faster than a three-pin plug, safer, and adds value to your property.
As an NICEIC approved contractor, we handle everything from the initial site survey through to installation, commissioning, and submission of building regulations notifications. We are familiar with all leading charge point manufacturers and can advise on the right unit for your vehicle, tariff, and property setup.
Smart home technology has moved far beyond novelty. A well-designed system reduces your energy bills, improves security, and gives you control over your home — wherever you are in the world.
Lewlec Electrical designs and installs fully integrated smart home systems, handling all the electrical infrastructure professionally and cleanly. We work with your chosen platform or can recommend the right solution for your requirements and budget.
The NICEIC is the UK's leading voluntary regulatory body for electricians. Our NICEIC registration means our work is independently assessed against strict technical and safety standards. You receive full documentation and certification for every job — and your installation is notified to the relevant building control authority.
We believe the best electrical contractor is one you barely have to think about. Here is how we make every project straightforward.

For most jobs we will visit to assess the work and provide an accurate, no-obligation written quotation. No hidden costs, no vague estimates.
Our electricians arrive on time, work cleanly, and keep disruption to a minimum. We communicate throughout so you always know what is happening.
All notifiable work is certificated and submitted to your local authority. You receive full documentation for your records, mortgage, or sale pack.
Regular electrical inspection is not just a legal requirement for landlords — it is sensible practice for all property owners. Our qualified electricians carry out thorough testing in line with the latest IET Wiring Regulations.
A thorough assessment of the condition of an electrical installation against the current BS 7671 standard. Identifies any deterioration, defects, damage or dangerous conditions. Produces a formal coded report with recommendations.
Legally required: Rental properties — every 5 years or on change of tenancy
A planned inspection of your electrical installation at regular intervals, covering continuity, polarity, insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, and RCD operation. Suitable for residential and commercial properties alike.
Recommended: Every 10 years for owner-occupied homes; 5 years for commercial
Testing of electrical appliances and equipment in the workplace or rented accommodation to confirm they are safe for continued use. We test, label, and provide a full report and pass/fail register.
Recommended: Annually for most commercial and rental premises
Your EICR will produce one of the following outcomes:
Satisfactory (C1, C2, FI codes explained): The installation is in an acceptable condition. C1 items present immediate danger and require urgent attention. C2 items are potentially dangerous. FI items require further investigation. C3 items are recommendations only and do not affect the satisfactory rating.
As an NICEIC approved contractor, we can carry out any remedial work identified during the EICR and issue the completed certification immediately — saving you time and the cost of a second contractor visit.
| Property Type | Interval |
|---|---|
| Owner-occupied domestic | 10 years |
| Rented domestic | 5 years |
| Commercial / offices | 5 years |
| Industrial premises | 3 years |
| Swimming pools | 1 year |
| Caravan parks | 3 years |
Landlord obligations: Under The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 and equivalent Welsh legislation, landlords must ensure electrical installations are inspected at least every five years and provide a copy of the EICR to tenants and their local council on request.
Non-compliance can result in fines of up to £30,000. We work with landlords and letting agents across Carmarthenshire to keep their portfolio compliant — ask about our multi-property scheduling service.

We will always tell you exactly what the job involves, what it will cost, and how long it will take — before we start. No surprises.
"Had a full rewire and consumer unit upgrade done on my 1960s bungalow. Lewlec were tidy, professional, and finished exactly on schedule. The certification was through within days and the whole job was priced honestly from the start. Cannot fault them."
"Installed an EV charger for us — the whole process from quote to completion was seamless. They liaised with the DNO, handled all the paperwork, and even helped me choose the right unit for our Octopus Agile tariff. Brilliant service."
"We used Lewlec for an EICR on a rental property we had just purchased. They found a few C2 items from the previous installation, repaired them on the same visit, and issued the satisfactory certificate straight away. Saved us a second callout charge. Highly recommended."
"Fitted smart lighting throughout our new build. The attention to detail was exceptional — every switch perfectly placed, cables immaculately routed. The Hue system they installed has transformed the feel of every room. Worth every penny."
"Used Lewlec for our restaurant fit-out — three-phase supply, commercial catering circuits, external feature lighting. They worked around our opening deadline, communicated brilliantly, and the finish is excellent. Our go-to electrician for the business."
"Reliable, reasonably priced, and genuinely knowledgeable. They spotted a fault in our old installation that two previous electricians had missed. The repair was done the same day. I would not use anyone else in Carmarthenshire."

For notifiable electrical work (new circuits, consumer unit replacement, rewiring), you are legally required to either hire a registered competent person or apply for building regulations approval yourself. An NICEIC approved contractor like Lewlec Electrical can self-certify the work, saving you time and the building control application fee.
The timescale depends on the size of the property and whether it is occupied during the work. A typical three-bedroom semi-detached house takes between three and five days. We will give you a firm estimate during the site visit and work to that schedule.
Home EV charger installation typically costs between £600 and £1,000 all-in, depending on where your consumer unit is, the cable run required, and the charger unit itself. We will survey your property and provide a clear written quote with no hidden charges.
Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, and Welsh Government guidance for Wales, landlords must have the electrical installation inspected at least every five years. A copy of the EICR must be provided to tenants and to the local authority on request.
Yes — all Lewlec Electrical installations carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee as standard. Any defect arising from our installation work will be rectified at no additional charge. This is separate from any manufacturer warranties on products we supply and fit.
We endeavour to attend genuine electrical emergencies — such as complete loss of power, exposed live conductors, or suspected fault conditions — as quickly as possible. Please call us on 07700 000 000. If you have an immediate danger, isolate the supply at your consumer unit and call us straight away.
We will walk you through everything during the site visit. Generally, you will need to ensure clear access to all rooms, move furniture away from walls and sockets, and arrange alternative accommodation or agree on working areas with us if you are staying in the property during the work. We handle the rest.
For most electrical work, yes — sections of the installation will need to be isolated for safety. For a full rewire, the supply will be off for most of the working day. We plan carefully to minimise inconvenience and will discuss the expected schedule with you in advance.
