What we do in Macgregor

In Macgregor’s brick lowsets, wiring runs through the roof space and down the cavity walls, with original boards still in many houses. Boards are upgraded to modern breakers and RCDs, then power points are added where the household needs them. Accessible roof space makes it practical to add downlights, fans and dedicated circuits for air conditioning.

We also handle the smaller Macgregor jobs, from replacing a broken switch to adding an outdoor power point for the garden.
