That history shows up in the wiring too.

Why Choose a Local Electrician?

Sympathetic work in period and listed homes

Long Melford is full of timber-framed cottages and listed buildings where wiring has to be routed with care. HC Electrical plans rewires and upgrades to keep disruption to original fabric to a minimum while bringing the electrics fully up to standard.

NAPIT-registered and Part P certified

Harry Crane is a NAPIT-registered electrician, so notifiable work is self-certified under Part P of the Building Regulations. You receive proper certification for every job, which matters when the property is older or may change hands.

A full range of domestic electrical services

From consumer unit replacements and full or partial rewires to EICRs, additional sockets, fault finding, indoor and outdoor lighting and EV charger installation, one local electrician covers the lot across Long Melford and the surrounding villages.

Suited to old and new properties alike

The village mixes grand heritage homes with more modern houses, and HC Electrical is comfortable in both, matching the approach to the building rather than treating every job the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Many homes in Long Melford are period or timber-framed, and rewiring them is about planning the routes carefully, lifting and reinstating finishes thoughtfully and using methods suited to older construction. The aim is fully compliant electrics with as little impact on the original fabric as possible.
Listed buildings can need consent for certain alterations, so it is worth checking with Babergh District Council before work that affects the historic fabric. HC Electrical can talk through the electrical side and plan an approach that keeps changes to a sensible minimum.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is an inspection that checks the safety of your existing wiring and flags anything that needs attention. It is sensible for older homes, which Long Melford has plenty of, and is usually required if you let a property out. HC Electrical carries out EICRs and explains the findings plainly.
Yes. HC Electrical installs home EV chargers, assessing your supply and consumer unit first to make sure everything is suitable. On older or listed homes the cabling route and unit position are planned with the building in mind, and the work is certified on completion.
Yes. Plenty of older Long Melford homes still have ageing fuse boards. HC Electrical can replace these with a modern consumer unit fitted with RCD protection, which improves safety and brings the installation in line with current standards.
