Restoring and Maintaining a High-Spec Home in Dartmouth, Redholm

Client: High-Spec Private Residential Property
Scope: External lighting fault diagnosis, rewire, and ongoing electrical maintenance for a luxury property.
Objective: Restoring and Maintaining a High-Spec Home in Dartmouth, Redholm

 


Project Overview

In 2016, FELCO was contacted by the owner of a luxurious property in Dartmouth to investigate an issue with the external lighting at the front of the home. The property, which was just five years old at the time, had suffered significant damage to its external lighting system during the initial installation and landscaping. Upon investigation, it became clear that a complete rewire of the external lighting was necessary to restore functionality and ensure long-term reliability.

Given the property’s high-end design and intricate landscaping, the project required meticulous planning and careful execution to avoid disrupting the building’s structure or its carefully designed surroundings. Working closely with the original building contractor, FELCO managed every aspect of the project to deliver a seamless solution. Since completing the rewire, FELCO has continued to maintain the property’s advanced electrical systems, including its state-of-the-art lighting and ventilation systems.


The Challenge

  • Extensive Damage: The original external lighting system was significantly damaged, requiring a full rewire to restore functionality and safety.
  • Preservation of Property: Ensuring minimal disruption to the structure of the home and its meticulously landscaped grounds.
  • Complex Coordination: Collaborating with the original building contractor to align builders’ works with the electrical rewiring.
  • Future-Proofing: Designing a system built for long-term durability and easy maintenance.

Our Approach

Comprehensive Planning

  • Conducted thorough surveys of the property and its landscaping to determine the best access points for the rewiring.
  • Worked in close coordination with the original building contractor to synchronise builders’ works with the electrical installation, ensuring an efficient process.

Precision Execution

  • Installed a new underground containment system for all external wiring, providing easier future access without disrupting the landscaping.
  • Carefully removed and reinstated sections of hard and soft landscaping to preserve the property’s original aesthetic after the works.
  • Used high-quality, weather-resistant materials to improve the durability of the external lighting system.

Ongoing Maintenance

  • Continued to maintain the property’s sophisticated electrical systems, including:
    • Lutron-controlled lighting for energy-efficient, customisable illumination.
    • Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) system for optimal indoor air quality.
    • General electrical installations to keep the property’s systems in top condition.

Results

  • Restored Functionality: The external lighting system was fully operational, meeting the high standards expected for a property of this calibre.
  • Minimal Disruption: The project was completed with minimal impact on the property’s structure and landscaping, maintaining its pristine appearance.
  • Future-Proof Solution: The underground containment system ensures easy access for maintenance and long-term reliability.
  • Long-Term Partnership: FELCO has become a trusted partner for the property owner, continuing to provide reliable maintenance and support.

Key Considerations

  • Luxury Preservation: Ensured all high-spec features and landscaping were handled with care to maintain the property’s premium aesthetic.
  • Proactive Collaboration: Worked closely with the original building contractor to deliver a seamless and client-approved solution.
  • High-Quality Materials: Used durable, weather-resistant components to withstand environmental conditions and enhance system longevity.
