Careful, certified electrical work for the period and listed properties of Clare and the wider Stour Valley.
Clare is one of Suffolk's historic wool towns, a compact medieval market town on the north bank of the River Stour that grew rich on the cloth trade. Today it is steeped in heritage, with over 130 listed buildings, the Grade I 'wool church' of St Peter and St Paul, the 1473 Ancient House on Church Street with its ornamental pargeting, and the romantic Norman castle ruins at the heart of Clare Castle Country Park. That depth of history is exactly why electrical work here calls for a careful hand.
Many homes in and around Clare are period, timber-framed or listed cottages, alongside rural farmhouses across the surrounding Stour Valley. These buildings reward an electrician who understands old fabric: running cables and fitting accessories without scarring lime plaster, lath or original timbers, and respecting the constraints that come with a listed property. HC Electrical, run by Harry Crane, takes that sympathetic approach as standard.
From full rewires and consumer unit upgrades to EV charger installation, lighting design, additional sockets and EICR inspections, every job is carried out to current standards and certified properly. As a NAPIT-registered business, HC Electrical can self-certify work under Part P of the Building Regulations, giving Clare homeowners and landlords clear, documented reassurance that the work is safe and signed off.
Clare's character as a medieval wool town means a high proportion of period, timber-framed and listed homes around Market Hill and Church Street, alongside rural properties across the Stour Valley. The services we carry out most here reflect that: sympathetic rewiring that protects old fabric, consumer unit upgrades bringing ageing boards up to current standards, and EICR inspections for the town's older housing.
