Electrical contractors for homes and businesses
Looking for an electrician in Malta for a new apartment, a refurbishment or a commercial installation? WS Installations carries out electrical work from first-fix wiring and distribution through to lighting, final connections, testing and handover. We also assess electrical faults and the remedial work required.
Electrical work often shares the same walls, ceilings and service routes as plumbing and finishing. Bringing these trades together helps identify access requirements and sequencing before surfaces are closed. We work with the client, consultants and site team to agree the scope and coordinate the installation with the wider project.
Scope of work
Electrical installation, lighting and fault finding
Power and lighting
Distribution, socket and lighting installations for the agreed use of each space, followed by final fittings and connections.
Testing and fault finding
Electrical testing, investigation and remedial work within the agreed scope, with any further work discussed before it proceeds.
Before work starts
Planning new wiring or electrical refurbishment
Send the property location, drawings if available, the current construction stage and the intended use of the building. Tell us about any occupied areas, access restrictions or other contractors already on site. This helps us assess the installation and arrange a useful first discussion.
Coordinate the next stage
For a new development, electrical first fix needs to be coordinated with plumbing routes, ceiling layouts and final finishes. For an existing property, the starting point is the condition and capacity of the installation and the work you need it to support. We agree the work and its interfaces before arranging labour and materials.
A clearer quotation
Plan an electrical installation around the building.
| Your starting point | What to consider |
|---|---|
| New property or shell stage | Agree socket, lighting, distribution and equipment requirements before first fix. Share the available electrical drawings and the layouts of the other services. |
| Refurbishment or extension | Identify the circuits and fittings that will remain, the new requirements and the areas that can be opened. Existing wiring needs assessment before the final scope is confirmed. |
| Occupied commercial building | Explain operating hours, restricted areas and any permitted shutdown periods. Access and sequencing need to be discussed alongside the installation itself. |
What affects the cost?
Electrical quotations depend on the points and circuits required, distribution equipment, selected fittings, containment routes and the condition of existing services. Access, testing and the work needed to reinstate finishes also affect the scope.
The scope is assessed for your property. Send the available information so we can confirm the next step and whether a site visit is needed.

Your questions
Questions about electrical work in Malta
Do you work on commercial and public buildings?
Yes. Our published project work includes electrical installations at APH Veterinary Hospital, Vegas Resort and Marsa Commercial Block, alongside ongoing residential and public-sector projects.
Can electrical and plumbing work be coordinated together?
Yes. WS Installations provides both services. We can discuss a combined scope so the installation stages, access and finishing work are planned together.
Can you quote from drawings?
Share your drawings and scope with the team. We will review the information and confirm whether a site visit or further details are needed before preparing a quotation.
Can you investigate an electrical fault in an existing property?
Yes. Describe the affected rooms or fittings, when the problem occurs and any recent changes. We can discuss fault finding and assess the remedial work required. Availability and the scope of a one-off visit should be confirmed with the team.
What is the difference between electrical first fix and second fix?
First fix establishes the agreed cable routes, containment and wiring before finishes are closed. Later installation stages complete sockets, switches, lights and equipment connections. The quotation should state which stages and testing are included.
Can you assess existing wiring during a refurbishment?
Send the available information and photographs with your enquiry. We can discuss an assessment of the existing installation and the changes required; the condition and suitability of wiring cannot be confirmed from its age or appearance alone.
Are light fittings and other electrical materials included in the quotation?
Material supply, installation labour, testing and any making-good work should be identified separately in the agreed scope. Tell us whether you already have fittings or need them supplied so the quotation reflects the same requirements.
