We have had the pleasure of installing LED colour changing lights around this landmark tree in the pangbourne area.

We can't wait for the winter nights to draw in so we can enjoy this feature for longer!

All cabling has been installed neatly and discreetly around the preriminater

Controlled by a timer switch.

What a lovely job for a great team!

Another small job completed to a high standard, with no damage and a very satisfied customer.

This project involved removing two existing pendant lights and replacing them with two antique light fittings. The lamp sockets were adapted to accommodate the vintage fittings, and an additional light and switch were installed for the understairs cupboard.

A neat and practical upgrade, completed with care and close attention to detail.

Don’t Overload One Socket

Plugging too many appliances into a single socket or extension lead can cause overheating, electrical damage and potentially a fire.

The damage shown in this photo is a serious warning sign. High-power appliances can draw more current than the socket, plug or wiring is designed to handle, causing connections to heat up and burn.

Stay safe:

Avoid plugging multiple high-power appliances into one socket.

Never use damaged, scorched or loose plugs and sockets.

Replace damaged equipment immediately and have it checked by a qualified electrician.
If a socket or plug is getting hot, switch it off and stop using it.

One overloaded socket can be enough to start a fire. Don’t take the risk.

Providing the perfect holiday product—designed to make your time away more enjoyable, memorable, and fun.

Another job completed, with a big focus on tidying, protection and getting everything right for the long term.

We carried out a full tidy-up of the existing installation, including:

• Separating and organising cables into the correct bands

• Rewiring interior-rated cable with suitable exterior cable

• Protecting exposed pipework and replacing damaged lagging

• Installing exposed cables into Copex to protect them from the elements

• Supplying and fitting rubber feet beneath the air conditioning units to reduce vibration and prevent further indenting of the rubberised roof.

The result is a much neater, safer and better-protected installation, while also helping to prevent future damage caused by weather, vibration and poor cable management.

Before & after photos below to show the
difference.

All works tested and certificated on completion — another job completed safely, professionally and to a high standard.

When “helping” goes a little too far 😂

Just a normal family day… me and the boys cleaning the van, getting it looking all nice and tidy. Then my son decided the white van needed a little artistic upgrade — and reached for a black Sharpie. 🤦‍♂️😂

Before we knew it, we had a budding little Banksy working his magic all over the van! Thankfully, after a bit of elbow grease, we managed to get it all cleaned off. 🙌

You honestly couldn’t make it up. They’re absolute pickles, but wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤️😂
