RJW Electrical
First & Second Fix Electrical Installation
First fix and second fix electrical work covers the wiring infrastructure and final fittings of a building. RJW Electrical provides qualified installation expertise for domestic and commercial projects, completing each stage to a high professional standard.
Workmanship, Compliance and Long-Term Value
A qualified contractor keeps first and second fix work aligned, from concealed wiring and connections to finished accessories. This supports compliant testing, clear accountability and integration with the building’s design.
RJW Electrical’s insured engineers follow the 18th edition wiring regulations and are members of NAPIT, the Trust Mark scheme and the Electrical Safety Register, helping clients assess workmanship and maintenance.
Clear Scope and Responsibility
A defined electrical scope makes it easier to track what is included in the first-fix and second-fix stages, with a clear point of responsibility for the installation.
Careful Installation Planning
Planning cable routes, connection points and accessory positions before work begins helps the electrical installation fit the building’s layout and intended use.
Checks Before Completion
Reviewing concealed routes and connections before they are covered supports accurate workmanship and makes later inspection more straightforward.
Insured Contractor
Using a fully insured electrical contractor provides an important safeguard when installation work is carried out within a domestic or commercial property.

What Well-Planned First and Second Fix Electrics Deliver
First and second fix electrics should result in a complete, orderly installation: concealed wiring is protected before surfaces are finished, while switches, sockets, lighting and other final fittings are connected and ready for practical use. Correct sequencing reduces the risk of rework as the building progresses.
Professional installation also supports regulatory confidence and dependable operation. RJW Electrical completes work in line with the 18th edition wiring regulations, with the finished system checked so faults or incomplete connections can be identified before the space is put into use. Clear placement of controls and fittings helps keep everyday operation straightforward and limits disruption to other trades.
Questions to Ask Before Choosing an Electrical Installation Contractor
What electrical certification should follow first and second fix work?
Request a written scope covering first fix, second fix, final fittings, testing, exclusions, and certification. Confirm who designs, installs, inspects, and documents work, then compare like-for-like quotations carefully before appointment.
How should electrical changes be managed between first fix and second fix installation?
Record any design or layout change before second-fix work begins. Update circuit schedules, socket positions, lighting plans and client instructions, then confirm cable routes, access requirements and compatibility with finishes.
What qualifications should a first and second fix electrical contractor have?
Look for qualifications and wiring-regulation competence, plus liability insurance, DBS checks where relevant, and NAPIT or Trustmark membership. Confirm experience with comparable domestic or commercial installations and documented testing procedures.
How should first and second fix electrical work be coordinated with other trades?
Coordinate cable routes, containment, access panels and fitting positions through the construction programme. Confirm plastering, joinery, ceilings and finishes are complete before second-fix installation, preventing damage, obstruction or repeated access.
What affects the cost of first and second fix electrical installation?
Cost depends on project size, circuit complexity, cable access, fitting numbers, containment, specification changes and remedial work. Compare itemised quotations, checking labour, materials, testing, certification and exclusions separately before appointment.
