Electrician in the Kempen, based in Mol
Roakus-E is based in Mol and covers the whole Kempen region: Geel, Turnhout, Herentals, Balen, Dessel, Retie, Westerlo and the villages in between. We are within half an hour of most addresses, work in English and Dutch and have more than twenty years of experience as electricians.
Houses with space, and the wiring that comes with it
The Kempen is a region of detached and semi-detached houses on their own plot, often built in the sixties to eighties and extended since. That gives us a different set of jobs than the city: long cable runs to a garage, a garden office or a workshop, outdoor lighting, a separate circuit for a pool pump or a sauna, and fuse boxes that were extended several times without a plan. We put order back in the box, label every circuit and make sure the earthing and residual current devices meet the AREI code.
New builds and total renovations are common here too. We wire them from scratch, with a layout that anticipates a home battery, an EV charger on the driveway and a heat pump, so the fuse box does not need to be opened again two years later.
- Complete installation for a new build or full renovation
- Fuse box replacement or extension, with 30 mA residual current devices
- Power and lighting for garages, outbuildings and garden offices
- Outdoor lighting, gate motors and pool or sauna circuits
- Preparation for a home battery, EV charger or heat pump
International staff in Mol and Geel
The SCK research centre in Mol, the research campus around it and the companies in Geel employ a large number of people from abroad. Many of them buy or rent a house in Mol, Dessel, Retie or Geel and run into Belgian specifics for the first time: the mandatory inspection by an accredited body, the single-line diagram the inspector asks for, the capacity tariff on the digital meter from grid operator Fluvius. We explain all of that in plain English, write the quote in English and deal with the inspection body and Fluvius on your behalf.
