Railway terraces and fast-growing suburbs

Railway-era terraces often need rewires or board upgrades, and the protected Railway Village needs extra care. West Swindon's 1970s and 80s homes are reaching the stage where boards and wiring need review.

Northern and southern expansions are modern, so electricians mainly add chargers, outdoor power and lighting there.

Electrical work across South West England

The South West's cities are full of period terraces and Georgian and Regency townhouses, while Devon, Cornwall and Somerset have many stone cottages, barn conversions and holiday lets. Thick solid walls make chasing in new cables slower, and older rural properties can have wiring that has been extended piecemeal over the years. Holiday-let owners often need electrical safety checks between seasons.

In England, new circuits, consumer unit replacements and work in bathrooms are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. An electrician registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify the work, and you should receive a certificate when it's finished. How to choose an electrician.
