Your Electrician in Sawston

Trusted electrical work for one of Cambridgeshire’s largest villages — period cottages, commuter homes and the business units along its high street and science-cluster edge.

NAPIT RegisteredDecades of ExperienceEmergency Call-Outs

Sawston is one of Cambridgeshire’s largest villages, sitting on the River Cam south of Cambridge with a genuinely mixed character that the wiring under its roofs reflects. There are older period properties tied to the village’s long industrial story — two centuries of paper-making at Spicers and the world-renowned leather and chamois tanning of Hutchings & Harding — alongside newer commuter housing and a working high street anchored around its everyday shops.

On the southern edge of the Cambridge life-science cluster, the regenerated Unity Campus on the former tannery site and Dales Manor Business Park bring light-industrial and office space into the mix too. HC Electrical, run by NAPIT-registered electrician Harry Crane, works across all of it: rewiring and modernising older homes, fitting consumer units and EV chargers, carrying out EICRs and landlord inspections, and handling commercial work in the village’s units and offices. Every job is carried out and certified to current wiring regulations under Part P.

NAPIT-registered and Part P certified

Harry Crane is a NAPIT-registered electrician, so every installation in your Sawston home or business is carried out and self-certified to the current wiring regulations, with the paperwork to prove it.

At home with period and modern properties

From the older homes tied to Sawston’s paper-mill and tannery heritage to the newer commuter housing around the village, we tailor rewiring, consumer units and lighting to suit the age and fabric of each property.

Domestic and commercial unit work

Sawston blends houses with light-industrial and office space at places like Unity Campus and Dales Manor Business Park, and we handle both — from a single socket at home to fit-outs and maintenance for business units.

Clear advice and tidy work

You get a straightforward explanation of what the job needs and why, neat installation that respects your home or premises, and full test certification on completion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Sawston has plenty of older homes connected to its long industrial past, and these often have ageing wiring, rubber or fabric-insulated cabling, or a fuse board well past its best. We carry out full and partial rewires sympathetically, keeping disruption down and routing cables to suit a period building, then certify the work under Part P.
We do. With many Sawston households commuting into Cambridge and beyond, home charging makes a lot of sense. We assess your supply and consumer unit, recommend a suitable charge point, and install it safely with the correct protection in place — whether you have off-street parking at a period cottage or a newer driveway.
Yes. Upgrading to a modern consumer unit with RCD or RCBO protection is one of the most worthwhile improvements for an older Sawston home. We check the existing installation first, fit a unit sized to your needs, and provide the certification you need for safety and for any future sale or letting.
We carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for both. Sawston’s mix of village families and Cambridge-area professionals means a fair amount of rented property, and landlords are required to have a valid EICR. We inspect and test the installation, report clearly on its condition, and quote for any remedial work needed.
Yes. Sawston sits on the edge of the south-Cambridge research belt, with business and light-industrial units at Unity Campus and Dales Manor Business Park as well as shops along the high street. We handle commercial installations, additional circuits, lighting, periodic inspection and fault-finding for units and offices, working around your operating hours where we can.
Everything from a single extra socket or a light fitting to full rewires, consumer unit upgrades, EV chargers, outdoor and garden electrics, fault-finding and inspections. If you are unsure whether a job is one for us, give Harry a call on 07814 523401 and we will talk it through.
