FAQs
What types of electrical switches do you supply and install in Newport?
We stock and install a full range of residential, commercial, and industrial switches, including standard rocker switches, dimmers, momentary push-buttons, weatherproof IP-rated switches, and modular grid systems. Each category is available in multiple finishes such as stainless steel, matt black, and antique brass to suit different interior styles.
How do your “seamless operating experience” switches differ from traditional models?
Our switches are engineered with low-profile mechanisms, precision-milled faceplates, and smooth-action contacts to eliminate the audible click and physical resistance typically felt in older designs. This results in an almost friction-free actuation that feels effortless while extending the lifespan of the internal contacts by reducing mechanical wear.
Are the switches compatible with smart-home or building-automation systems?
Yes. Many of our models include built-in Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Wi-Fi modules, allowing direct integration with popular platforms like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and KNX. For purely mechanical switches, we offer retrofit smart relays that sit behind the faceplate so you can upgrade to voice or app control without changing the visible hardware.
What safety standards do your switches meet, and are they suitable for commercial environments?
All products are certified to BS EN 60669 and BS 3676 standards, ensuring compliance with UK wiring regulations (18th Edition). For commercial or high-traffic areas, we supply vandal-resistant metal-clad variants that meet IK08 impact ratings and feature self-extinguishing, fire-retardant housings tested to UL94-V0.
How long does installation take, and will there be disruption to my property?
A standard two-gang switch replacement usually takes under 30 minutes per location. If additional smart relays or rewiring are needed, we allow up to 1–1.5 hours. Our electricians use dustless chase cutters and portable extraction to minimise mess, and power downtime for any given circuit rarely exceeds 10 minutes.
Do you offer warranties and ongoing support for your electrical switches?
All switches come with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty covering mechanical failure and finish defects. Smart models include free firmware updates for the life of the product. We also provide a 24/7 local support line and optional annual safety inspections to ensure your installation continues to operate flawlessly.
