What We Offer
Socket & Switch Installation
Additional sockets, USB charging points, dimmer switches, and smart switches installed neatly and safely. We'll advise on the best positions and types for your needs.
Lighting Design & LED Upgrades
From recessed LED downlights to feature lighting and outdoor garden schemes. We design and install lighting that transforms your space while cutting your energy bills.

Older properties with outdated wiring need attention. We provide full and partial rewires with minimal disruption, working room by room so you can stay at home.
Consumer Unit Upgrades & Fuse Box Replacement
Replace your old fuse box with a modern consumer unit featuring RCD protection and surge protection. A fuse box replacement is one of the most effective safety upgrades for older properties — protecting your home from electrical faults and fire risk.

Fault Finding & Repairs
Tripping circuits, flickering lights, dead sockets — we'll diagnose the problem quickly and carry out repairs safely.
Emergency Electrician & Same-Day Callouts
Electrical emergencies can happen at any time — a tripping consumer unit, a burning smell from a socket, loss of power to part of your home, or exposed wiring. When they do, you need an emergency electrician who can respond quickly and fix the problem safely.
Lilliput Electrical offers same-day emergency callouts across Poole, Bournemouth, and East Dorset. Call 07809 680068 and we'll aim to be with you as quickly as possible. Common emergency electrical repairs we handle include:
- Complete or partial loss of power
- Burning smell from sockets, switches, or the fuse box
- Circuit breaker that keeps tripping
- Sparking or arcing from outlets or light fittings
- Storm damage to electrical installations
- Faulty or dangerous wiring discovered during other work
All emergency work is carried out to the same NICEIC-certified standard as our planned work, with full testing and certification provided.

Recent Projects
Full Rewire — Victorian Terrace, Bournemouth
Complete rewire of a 3-bedroom Victorian terrace that still had original 1930s wiring. We replaced all cables, installed a new 18-way Hager consumer unit, added LED downlights throughout, and fitted USB sockets in all bedrooms. The homeowners stayed in the property throughout as we worked room by room.
Consumer Unit Upgrade — Sandbanks
Replaced an outdated wire fuse box in a 4-bedroom Sandbanks property. The old unit had no RCD protection and was regularly tripping. The new Hager consumer unit includes dual RCD protection, MCBs for every circuit, and an integrated surge protector. All circuits tested and certified same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
A typical 3-bedroom house takes 4–5 days. We work room by room to minimise disruption, and the price includes making good to plasterwork. Larger or older properties may take longer — we’ll give you a clear timeline during the quote.
No. We work room by room and ensure you have power each evening. Most customers stay at home throughout. We’ll discuss the plan with you beforehand so you know what to expect each day.
A consumer unit (fuse box) upgrade replaces your old fuse box with a modern unit featuring RCD protection. RCDs detect faults and cut the power in milliseconds, protecting you from electric shock. If your home still has rewirable fuses or an old-style unit without RCD protection, an upgrade is strongly recommended.
Yes. Lilliput Electrical is NICEIC registered, which means we are authorised to self-certify all domestic electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations. You’ll receive all necessary certificates for every job.
Absolutely. All work comes with the appropriate electrical certificate — either an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) for new work, or a Minor Works Certificate for smaller jobs. These are legal requirements and are provided as standard with every job we complete.
A circuit breaker that keeps tripping usually indicates an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, or a wiring fault. As a first step, unplug appliances on the affected circuit and reset the breaker. If it trips again with nothing plugged in, there may be a wiring fault that needs professional diagnosis. Call us on 07809 680068 — we offer same-day fault finding from £85 and will identify and fix the problem safely.
Yes. We provide same-day emergency electrician callouts across Poole, Bournemouth, and East Dorset. If you have a dangerous electrical situation — burning smell, sparking, loss of power, or exposed wiring — call 07809 680068 and we’ll aim to be with you as quickly as possible.
