A homeowner in Allington contacted us after moving into a 1960s semi that had clearly had several owners, each of whom had added to the wiring without reviewing what was already there. The upstairs had been extended at some point and the additional circuits had been run from a junction in the loft rather than back to the consumer unit properly. We traced everything out, replaced the consumer unit, corrected the loft wiring, and added two new double sockets in the main bedroom where there had previously been only one. The owner had a clear installation and a certificate to show for it.

Allington is a substantial residential area with a lot of owner occupied housing, much of it built between the 1950s and 1980s. The properties from that period are the ones most likely to need electrical attention. Consumer units that have never been replaced, ring mains that have been extended informally, and wiring that was designed for a much lighter load than modern households place on it.

My house has had several owners and the wiring looks complicated, what should I do first?
An assessment is the sensible starting point. We trace what is there, identify any gaps in protection, and give you a clear picture of what needs doing and in what order.
Can you add sockets in an upstairs bedroom without major disruption?
Yes. We lift floorboards carefully, route cables underneath, and keep any wall chasing to the minimum needed. We tidy up fully before we leave.
Do you carry out full rewires in Allington?
Yes. For 1960s and 70s properties a full rewire is sometimes the most cost effective long term solution. We will tell you honestly whether a partial rewire or targeted repairs would serve you just as well.
How quickly can you get to Allington?
Within the week. My PA will confirm the time.
Do I receive paperwork on completion?
Yes. All notifiable work comes with an NICEIC certificate.
If you have recently moved in and are not sure what you have inherited electrically, call and I will come and take a proper look. Honest assessment, no pressure.
