Careful, conservation-minded electrical work for the timber-framed and listed buildings that give Lavenham its character.
Lavenham is widely regarded as the finest surviving medieval wool village in England, with more than 300 protected timber-framed buildings still standing much as they did in the 15th and 16th centuries. From the leaning houses of the Market Place and the National Trust Guildhall to Little Hall, the Crooked House on the High Street and the great wool church of St Peter and St Paul, this is a place where almost every property carries genuine history.
HC Electrical, run by NAPIT-registered electrician Harry Crane, works carefully with the owners of Lavenham's period and listed homes. Wiring an old timber-framed building is very different from a modern house: cables need routing discreetly, original fabric and exposed beams need protecting, and the work has to be sensitive to the way these buildings were built.
We handle rewiring, consumer unit upgrades, lighting, additional sockets and electrical inspections across the village, with all work carried out to Part P standards and certified on completion.
Lavenham's 300-plus listed and timber-framed buildings mean almost every job here calls for a careful, conservation-minded approach. The services we provide most are sensitive rewiring that protects original beams and plaster, discreet lighting schemes in keeping with period interiors, and consumer unit upgrades. We also handle additional sockets, fault-finding and EICR inspections. Whether a Tudor cottage or a more modern home, the work meets current standards and is certified under Part P.

Lavenham's housing is dominated by listed and timber-framed homes, and we approach each one on its own terms. We take care to protect original beams, plaster and historic fabric, plan cable runs that suit the structure, and work in a way that respects the age and value of the building.
Surface wiring and clumsy chasing can ruin the look of a period interior. We route cables thoughtfully, keeping them out of sight where possible and choosing fittings and methods that sit comfortably alongside exposed timber, uneven walls and original features.
From full and partial rewires to consumer unit upgrades, lighting schemes, extra sockets and switches, fault finding and periodic inspection and testing, we cover the everyday electrical needs of Lavenham homes, old and new alike.
Harry Crane is a NAPIT-registered electrician, so notifiable work is certified and carried out to current standards. For homeowners in a heritage village, that is straightforward reassurance that the job has been done properly and safely.
