Is second fix included in that rate?

No — the calculator prices first fix and second fix as separate lines, because they happen months apart and a project can be quoted for one without the other. The whole-project budget on the homepage includes both.

When do I have to decide where the sockets go?

Before first fix, which is early — usually before you have chosen a sofa. It is the single most common thing people wish they had spent longer on, and moving a socket after plastering means cutting the wall open again.

Do you handle the certification?

Yes. Testing and certification are part of the work, and the documentation is handed over with the property rather than chased afterwards.

Electricians in Malta

Electrics are the trade most likely to be blamed for a delay, because they happen twice and both times block someone else. First fix has to be complete and signed off before the plasterer arrives; second fix cannot start until the walls are painted. Get either wrong and the whole programme moves.

We run electrics as part of the sequence rather than as a separate booking. That means the sockets are where you actually want them — decided against a furniture layout, not against a bare wall — and the trade either side is not waiting on site.

What this covers

First fix — containment, cabling, back boxes and consumer unit position
Second fix — sockets, switches, fittings, and the consumer unit
Circuit design for the way the property will actually be used
Coordination with lighting design and any home automation
Testing, certification and handover documentation

What it costs

Electrics are one of the few trades on this site with a published rate, because they scale with floor area fairly predictably. The calculator uses €26 to €78 per m² of floor area for first fix depending on the finish tier — the same figures it uses for a whole-project budget, because there is only one rate card.

How it works

You deal with us, not with the trade. We survey, we quote a fixed price, we bring in the electricians from the CheckYourTraders-verified network, and we manage the sequencing around every other trade on site. One point of contact, one contract, one invoice.
