Electricians & electrical contractors
Central Systems builds premium websites for electricians and electrical contractors. Sites that get a worried caller to your number in seconds, give landlords a booking route of their own, and put your registration where it can be checked. New builds, and rebuilds of sites that only ever catch the emergencies.
Who actually arrives
Nearly every electrician’s site is built for the first one and quietly ignores the other two — which is a problem, because they are the ones you can plan around. We wrote this up at length in your website is built for one customer, electricians have three.
A homeowner in a dark hallway with a phone. Not price-shopping — frightened, and working out whether this can wait until morning.
What wins them: a number that is tapped, not typed, and one sentence telling them what to switch off before you arrive.
A homeowner with a fortnight to decide and no urgency at all. Reading properly, comparing three firms, and working out whether their supply will even take it.
What wins them: the technical answer before the sales pitch — supply, distance, grant — from whoever explains it best.
A portfolio landlord or letting agent at a desk. Not frightened at all, and barely comparing on price — comparing on turnaround and whether the paperwork lands.
What wins them: a route into your diary built for a portfolio, and evidence the certificate arrives without chasing.
The whole page
Three routes off one homepage: help for the caller who is standing in a dark hallway, a charger check for the one reading on a Sunday, and a landlord route that goes to a booking rather than a contact form. Same site, same header, three different jobs.
A concept build, not a client’s site. PrimeWire Electrical is our own demonstration firm, designed and built here to show how the three routes sit together on one page. Where a real site would carry its reviews, this one carries nothing — we would rather leave the space empty than fill it with invented ones.
The callout
Is this safe to leave until morning? Whoever answers the Tuesday-night caller first usually gets the job, and nobody is reading a services page to find out.
Designed by us, not a template. The advice is yours, checked with you before it goes live, and written so it never implies a fault is safe.
The half you can plan
In Scotland a rented home needs an electrical safety inspection at least every five years and before a new tenancy. That is not a lead to chase. It is a diary entry, years ahead, for every property you have ever certified.
Example properties, not a client’s portfolio. The dates above are illustrative. A landlord who adds their own flats leaves having seen exactly which ones you need to book.
Trust
There is no single licence to practise, and customers know it. Whatever marks you out as the real thing has to be visible on the page itself, because nothing outside it will vouch for you.
The work worth winning
This is the Sunday-afternoon customer. Chargers, boards and rewires get searched for deliberately, days or weeks ahead, by somebody willing to read — the one moment a website can genuinely out-argue a recommendation.
Sample figures, labelled on the page. A tool like this prices nothing on its own — it tells somebody whether their house is suitable, and books the survey while they are still interested.
New build or rebuild
If yours brings in fault calls and nothing else, that is not a failed website — it is half a website. The rebuild is mostly the half nobody wrote.
Structure, copy and photography planned around the emergency path and the compliance path as two separate journeys. Written with you, and yours outright when it goes live.
Your existing pages hold search history worth protecting. We audit what ranks, keep those URLs working, and rebuild the design, the speed and the missing landlord route around them rather than starting the clock again.
Not sure which you need? The free website audit reports on speed, mobile, structure and what your site currently asks a visitor to do — before anybody discusses a quote.
Beyond the website
The website is the job. But compliance work is recurring by nature, and firms that win a lot of it eventually hit the same wall: nobody actually knows which certificates expire next month. If that is where you have got to, this is worth building. If it is not, we will tell you to put the money into the website instead.
Updates, backups, security and the small changes a working site needs, so it does not quietly decay between jobs. Ongoing care.
Certificates, expiry dates and reminders that go out before a landlord has to ask. Worth building once the portfolio is big enough to lose track of. Business automation.
Local search
Somebody with a dead ring main wants the nearest firm who will answer. An agent placing four EICRs will book forty miles away if the dates work. Two different pieces of search work, and most sites attempt only the first.
Questions
Only the registrations you genuinely hold, with the number shown and a link to the register so anyone can verify it. We will not write a scheme name onto a page on the assumption you are a member — it is checkable in seconds, and being caught overstating it would cost you more than it ever gained.
It can make the number unmissable, state your hours plainly, and tell an out-of-hours caller what to do meanwhile — including sending them to the network operator when it is a power cut rather than your problem. What it cannot do is imply somebody is answering when nobody is.
No, and for fault work a fixed price is usually dishonest anyway. A band, or a worked example marked as one, does the job: it puts off the enquiries you did not want and settles the ones you did. We would rather show a range than invent a number.
Usually, though not for the reason you would expect. It stops being about enquiries and starts being about credibility when a main contractor checks you out, and about not depending on two or three relationships. We would build you something much smaller than a domestic-facing site, and say so rather than sell you the big one.
You do — domain, hosting, content and code. No licence, nothing that stops working if you stop paying us, and no part of it held hostage. Ongoing care is there because sites need maintaining, not to keep you locked in.
Next step
Tell us how the work arrives now — the callouts, the landlords, the chargers — and we will tell you plainly what a site should be doing about each of them. No obligation, and no pitch for anything you do not need.
