For homes, renovations and developmentsMAK Electrical Solutions
Building, renovating or upgrading your Surrey home? Bring the electrical installation, lighting and smart controls together with one team, from the first project discussion to testing and handover.
- Electrical work planned around your property and building programme
- Lighting and smart controls considered alongside the wiring
- A clear project scope before installation begins
Tell us about the property, the work planned and your project stage.
One electrical team for the home you are planning
MAK Electrical provides electrical contracting across Surrey for homeowners, developers and businesses. We bring electrical installation, lighting and smart controls into one practical plan, whether you are building a new home, renovating an older property or upgrading the spaces you already use.
The starting point is your project: the rooms, the way you want them to work and the stage your building work has reached. From there, we can discuss the wiring, power, lighting and control requirements together rather than leaving important decisions until the finishes are in place.
For a whole-home project, you need more than a list of fittings. You need a clear scope, considered installation and a handover that helps you understand what has been installed. That is the conversation we will help you start.
Electrical work for new homes, renovations and upgrades
New-build homes and developments
Plan power, lighting, controls and connections while the layout is still being agreed. MAK can discuss the electrical installation alongside your building programme, helping you consider socket positions, lighting circuits and the technology you want to use throughout the property.
Bring your drawings and an outline of the work planned. Early discussion makes it easier to identify decisions that affect the first fix, later fittings and final commissioning.
Renovations, extensions and rewiring
A renovation is a chance to make the electrics suit the home you want to live in. We can discuss rewiring, additional power, revised lighting and electrical work for extensions or converted rooms, taking the existing installation and access into account.
If you are staying in the property, tell us at the outset. The scope and programme should address access, interruptions to power and the relationship with other trades.
Upgrades to an existing home
You do not need a complete rebuild to improve the way your home works. A project might centre on better lighting, a garden room, new controls or a suitable EV charging installation. We can review the brief and discuss how the proposed work relates to what is already installed.
The options depend on the property and the existing electrical system, so a conversation about the actual site is more useful than a one-size-fits-all package.

Bring lighting and smart controls into the electrical plan
The electrical design has a direct effect on how a finished home feels. Good task lighting in a kitchen, comfortable light in a living room and a welcoming route through the garden all need to be considered alongside the wiring and switching.
MAK offers lighting design and installation, including interior and garden lighting. Lutron lighting control can also be discussed where it suits the property, bringing selected lighting circuits together into scenes for everyday use, evenings or entertaining.
If your brief includes electric blinds, WiFi and networking or EV charge points, raise these early. Cable routes, control positions and electrical requirements are easier to coordinate when they form part of the same discussion.
Projects described by our customers
Our published customer feedback includes full electrical installations, renovation work and integrated lighting projects. These examples come from the customers' own accounts, rather than a generic description of what a finished project might look like.

Electrical contracting for businesses and project teams
Our work is not limited to homes. MAK also provides electrical installation for businesses and developments, with the scope shaped around how the premises will be used and the requirements of the wider project.
In our published feedback, Clubhouse Gym, Guildford describes appointing MAK to wire its personal training gym. Developers also describe working with the team on new-build projects. Read the business and development customer feedback or tell us about your premises, plans and intended programme.
From the first conversation to handover
-
Tell us about the property and your plans
Share the location, project type and current stage. Plans, photographs and a short outline of the work help us understand what you need and whether a site visit is the right next step.
-
Agree the scope before installation
Discuss what is included, your preferred fittings and controls, and the work that depends on other trades. The quotation should relate to an agreed scope; any later changes need their own discussion.
-
Plan the work around the building programme
First-fix wiring, fittings, controls and testing need to be coordinated with the rest of the job. Tell us about your builder, designer and key dates so we can discuss the practical sequence.
-
Complete the installation and explain the result
Testing, commissioning and the appropriate electrical documentation are part of completing the work. At handover, discuss how the lighting and controls operate and any questions about using the installation.
Have drawings or a project brief ready? Send us the outline and we can discuss the next step.
Know who is carrying out your electrical work
MAK's About us page sets out the team's electrical and smart-home experience and NAPIT registration. You can check current membership through NAPIT's member search and ask the team which certification and notification requirements apply to your proposed work.
For electrical work in homes in England, Approved Document P explains the building regulation guidance on electrical safety, including notification and the provision of information. The documentation required depends on the work being undertaken. Discuss this before installation, not after the project has finished.

Questions before you appoint an electrical contractor
Can MAK handle the electrics for a complete home renovation?
Yes. MAK undertakes electrical installation for renovation and new-build projects, alongside lighting and smart controls where required. Share the plans, the stage of the build and the work you would like included so the team can discuss a suitable scope.
Can you work with my builder or interior designer?
The electrical plan can be discussed alongside the wider building and design programme. Tell us who is involved and which decisions have already been made. Our published customer feedback includes accounts of the team working with builders and other contractors.
Do I need a full rewire to improve my lighting?
Not necessarily. The options depend on the existing wiring, the fittings and the control system you want. A review of the property and your lighting brief helps establish whether a targeted upgrade or more extensive electrical work is appropriate.
Can you carry out work while we are living in the house?
Tell the team if the property will remain occupied. Access, temporary interruptions to power and the sequence of the work need to be considered when agreeing the scope and programme. What is practical depends on the extent of the installation.
What will my electrical project cost?
There is no single price for a new-build installation, renovation or lighting upgrade. The cost depends on the agreed work, the existing installation, access, chosen fittings and control requirements. Provide plans or photographs where possible so MAK can discuss a quotation based on your project.
Do you cover my Surrey town?
The coverage section lists our 50 established town areas, and we also serve confirmed surrounding locations and the Surrey Hills. If your village is not listed, send your postcode and a brief outline of the work so the team can confirm coverage.
What should I send when requesting a quote?
Start with the property location, type of work and current project stage. Drawings, photographs, details of existing systems and your intended timescale are useful. If you are unsure of the specification, explain what you want the finished home or premises to do.
Discuss your Surrey electrical project
Whether you are planning a new home, a renovation or a carefully considered upgrade, start with a conversation about the property and the work you want to achieve.
