Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we regularly work on listed and period properties across Cambridge, from Victorian terraces in Romsey to older homes around Newnham and the city centre. We install and route wiring sensitively to protect original features such as cornicing, panelling and plasterwork, and keep disruption to a minimum. Where consent or oversight is needed, we are happy to liaise with conservation officers and fit our work around listed building requirements. All wiring is completed to the BS 7671 standard and certified under our NAPIT registration, so you have proper documentation for insurance, sale or letting.
Yes. Many homes in areas like Mill Road, Romsey and Chesterton still have older wiring such as rubber or fabric-insulated cable, rewireable fuse boxes or earlier installations that no longer meet current standards. We carry out both full and partial rewires, planning the work in stages so you can stay in the property where possible. We lift floorboards and chase walls carefully to preserve period features, then test and certify everything to BS 7671. As a NAPIT-registered firm, the work is notified under Part P where required.
Yes, and it is some of our most common work given Cambridge's large rental and student market. Landlords in England are legally required to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) carried out at least every five years and on change of tenancy, and to supply a copy to tenants. We inspect and test the installation, identify any C1, C2 or FI faults, and provide a clear report with a satisfactory or unsatisfactory outcome. We can also quote for any remedial work and re-issue certification once it is complete, all to BS 7671.
Yes. EV chargers are increasingly popular with Cambridge commuters and professionals working around the Science Park and Biomedical Campus. We install home chargepoints, assess your consumer unit and incoming supply beforehand, and fit the appropriate protection so the installation is safe and compliant. We will advise on the best location for cable routing and charger position, whether you are in a Victorian terrace with on-street arrangements or a modern home at Eddington or Darwin Green with off-street parking. All work is completed to BS 7671 and certified under our NAPIT registration.
Yes. We work on commercial premises across Cambridge including offices, retail units, and units around the Cambridge Science Park and Chesterton. Our services cover new installations, lighting upgrades, fault-finding, distribution boards, and periodic inspection and testing to keep your premises compliant and safe. We understand that downtime is costly, so we can schedule larger jobs outside business hours or in phases to suit your operation. Everything is carried out to BS 7671 with full certification through our NAPIT registration, giving you the records you need for compliance and insurance.
We cover the whole city and surrounding villages. That includes the historic city centre, Mill Road and Romsey, Newnham, Chesterton near the station and Science Park, Trumpington and Cherry Hinton, plus newer developments at Eddington and Darwin Green. We also serve nearby villages such as Fulbourn, Great Shelford and Sawston. Whether it is a planned rewire, an EICR, a consumer unit upgrade, an EV charger or an urgent fault, we can arrange a convenient appointment. Call Harry on 07814 523401 to talk through what you need.
