Lighting installation and upgrades
Good lighting makes a significant difference to the feel, practicality and finish of a home. We help with new light fittings, recessed downlights, outdoor security lighting and upgrades that improve the look and usability of a space.
Electrical upgrades around the home
Many homes need more from their electrics than they did years ago. A consumer unit upgrade is one of the most common jobs we carry out — bringing an older fuse board up to current RCD/RCBO standards. If your wiring is older still, a house rewire may be the better long-term fix.
Fault finding and electrical repairs
Electrical problems can be frustrating and disruptive. Whether a circuit keeps tripping, a socket has stopped working or something simply doesn't feel right, our fault finding service investigates and works toward a safe, lasting solution — no jargon, no vague explanations.
Electrical work for home improvements
If you're updating part of your home, the electrical work plays a big part in the final finish. Kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and general renovations all benefit from a tidy, well-planned electrical setup done properly from the start — and we're happy to coordinate with your builder or kitchen fitter.
Does your home's wiring need looking at?
Not sure whether it's worth getting someone out? Here's a quick way to tell.
⚠ Signs your electrics need attention
- Circuits that trip regularly without explanation
- Sockets or switches that feel warm or look discoloured
- Flickering or unreliable lighting
- An old fuse box with rewirable fuses, not breakers
- Not enough sockets for how you actually use a room
✓ What a well-maintained system looks like
- Modern consumer unit with RCD/RCBO protection
- Sockets and circuits sized for how you live now
- Lighting that's reliable and suits the space
- Certified, documented work you can rely on
- No nasty surprises at survey or sale time
If any of that sounds familiar, it's worth getting it looked at — call or WhatsApp for a free, no-obligation chat.

Are you NAPIT registered?
Yes — Influx Electrical is NAPIT registered (Reg: 82738). This means we can self-certify our work and issue the appropriate certificates and notifications without you needing to contact Building Control.

Will the work be certified?
Yes — all notifiable electrical work is certified on completion and backed by our 12-month workmanship guarantee. As NAPIT members we can self-certify, so you'll receive the correct documentation without any extra steps.
Do you cover Darlington and surrounding areas?
Yes — we're based in Darlington and cover all of the DL1, DL2 and DL3 postcode areas, as well as Stockton, Middlesbrough, Durham, Newton Aycliffe, Hartlepool, Bishop Auckland and the wider North East.
How do I know if my consumer unit needs replacing?
Common signs include a fuse board with rewirable fuses rather than circuit breakers, no RCD protection, frequent tripping, or an EICR that has flagged the board as unsatisfactory. If your board is more than 20–25 years old it's worth having it assessed.
What is notifiable electrical work?
In England and Wales, certain types of electrical work in dwellings are classed as notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. This includes new circuits, consumer unit replacements, and work in kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors. Because we're NAPIT registered, we can self-certify this work on your behalf.
Can you carry out electrical work as part of a kitchen or bathroom renovation?
Yes — we regularly carry out the electrical side of kitchen and bathroom refits, including new circuits, socket installation, lighting, extractor fans and compliance with bathroom zone regulations. We're happy to liaise with your builder or kitchen fitter.
