Reliable electriciansserving Daventry

The oldest parts of Daventry, around the town centre, include cottages and terraces that have often been rewired or extended in stages over many decades. It's common to find a mix of cable types and circuit ages behind the walls of these properties, so our first step is always to establish exactly what's there before recommending any work.

Older Daventry properties sometimes still rely on consumer units without modern RCD protection, particularly where the rest of the wiring hasn't been touched for a long time. Upgrading the consumer unit is often the single most worthwhile improvement for these homes, bringing the whole installation closer to current safety standards without necessarily needing a full rewire.

Where a full or partial rewire is needed, we plan the work to keep disruption to a minimum, routing cable through floor voids and lofts wherever we can rather than chasing unnecessarily into walls, especially in properties with period features worth preserving.

Daventry's large modern residential estates were mostly built from the 1980s onwards, so the base wiring is generally in reasonable condition. The jobs we're most often asked to do here involve extensions, loft conversions and home improvements that need new circuits properly integrated with the existing consumer unit, rather than simply added on.

We also see a steady amount of work fitting EV charging points on newer estate driveways, and upgrading outdoor sockets and lighting for larger estate gardens, both of which need to be planned around the property's existing electrical capacity.

Daventry's position near the motorway network has brought a sizeable logistics and industrial presence to the town, and we regularly carry out commercial electrical work in warehouse units, offices and retail premises alongside our domestic jobs. Commercial power demands can change significantly as equipment and storage needs evolve, so periodic review is worth considering even where there's no obvious fault.

For landlords with rental property in Daventry, whether an older town-centre terrace or a newer estate house, we carry out EICRs to the standard required for lettings, explaining any findings in plain terms so you know exactly what, if anything, needs addressing.

Daventry sits a little further from our Great Houghton base than some of the villages we cover, so we quote the call-out cost when you ring rather than applying our standard local rate. Whatever the distance, the same fully qualified team and straightforward approach apply to every Daventry job.
