Escape to the Summer House | Electrical Installation of a Summer House
During Lockdown our gardens have become even more important. Everyone loves their home, but sometimes there feels a need to escape from the house. That’s when your garden comes into play. However, sometimes the patio might feel too exposed, or you might just be wanting to shelter from the elements whilst getting a breath of fresh air. Having a summer house to escape to could be the answer.
That’s exactly what this client was after a relaxing place to retreat to where they could read, relax and listen to music. However, for various reasons, this installation required quite a bit of problem-solving. There were four main problems that needed thought and three solutions that were identified.
1. A wooden structure
The electrical installation of a summer house needs to be approached with a lot of thought because, as the building fabric is wood, movement between the elements of the structure is possible. Wires that were tightly fixed to the structure may be damaged as the wood warps with time.
This particular project was installed in conduit to allow for movement of the cables if necessary.
2. Limited space for sockets
The client wanted additional sockets for phones, speakers, and a fan. The customer did not want to sleep in the summer house in the depths of midwinter, but having the option of a heater to keep the chill off in the evening was a requirement. All these appliances would need electrical points.
Due to the limited space available, I suggested installing USB sockets. This allows for additional appliances to be run from the same socket point.
3. Poor lighting
The client wanted to be able to read at night. The structure also had an additional storage area. I installed lights so that finding things would not be an issue.
External lighting was also a requirement so that approaching the summer house at night was easy. This way the path and door would be well lit to enable ease of access.

Adam came out at short notice to check a potential safety issue with our consumer unit - he was very thorough and explained everything clearly. Have now requested Adam to carry out some further non-urgent work.

Adam came to fix some on going issues I’d had in my home after moving in 12 months ago. He was professional and kept me fully informed of what repairs needed to be done and why. Billing and paying was a simple process and broke down everything that had been done and the cost involved. I will be using him again in the near future as I have some other electrical works I would like to be done in the home.

Adam's done loads for us. New circuits, consumer unit, lighting, sockets, inspections, wiring security cameras, smart home sensors and switches. He helped me safely test and configure some tricky smart switch relays before committing to work being done. Excellent communication, advice, standard of work and looking after your home. Highly recommended, wouldn't want to go to anyone else.

I've been very pleased with the electrical work Adam carried out in my home. He is very calm, friendly, knowledgeable and professional, and kept me informed throughout as he identified and fixed an electrical fault. Pricing was very clear and reasonable. Would trust and call on him again in a heartbeat. Thank you Adam, really appreciated.

We hired Adam to connect a new garden building to mains electricity, via a cable run through the garden. Adam was very professional, his quotes were reasonable and accurate, and he was knowledgeable about what was required. Over a period of a few months, Adam turned up when he said he would, and did the job as he had promised. Communication was always timely and effective. Throughout, Adam insisted on doing things the right way (even when other professionals didn't!), which is exactly what you want from an electrician. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, and would use him again for any future work.

Adam was very polite and came quickly to sort out my problem. I would highly recommend. Will definitely be using him in the future. 👍

We booked Adam to wire up a summerhouse. He did a great job. He did the job in stages so we could get the place insulated and lined and dig a trench, in between him fitting the wiring, installing the fittings and laying the cable from the house. He is a lovely chap and knows his stuff. He takes time to explain everything thoroughly and his communication was very good. When we had an issue a week later, he came back to investigate at the earliest opportunity despite it being over the festive period. It turned out to be an issue in the fuse board unconnected to his work, which he fixed for us at minimal cost.
