Trusted electriciansacross Northampton

Northampton's older districts are full of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of which have been rewired at some point but not always to a consistent standard. It's common to find a mix of old and newer cabling in the same property, sometimes with circuits that have been extended or altered by previous occupants without proper regard for how the rest of the system is set up.

We approach these jobs by tracing the existing installation properly rather than assuming anything, which means fewer surprises partway through a job and a clearer picture of what actually needs doing. For terraces and older semis across the town, this often means replacing ageing cabling, upgrading the consumer unit, and making sure protection meets a sensible modern standard.

Solid walls, shared chimney breasts and awkward floor voids in these older Northampton properties also mean cable routes need more thought than in a modern build, and we take the time to plan this out before starting any work.

Northampton's newer developments, particularly towards the ring road and on the edges of town, bring a different set of jobs. Snagging issues on recently built homes are not unusual, and we're often asked to take a second look at sockets, lighting circuits or outdoor power that wasn't quite finished to the standard expected.

Extensions and loft conversions are another steady source of work, whether on older terraces or newer estate housing. The key job here is making sure new circuits are properly integrated into the existing consumer unit and that the whole system can handle the extra demand, rather than simply adding sockets onto whatever circuit happens to be nearest.

With such a large rental market and a busy commercial centre, Northampton keeps us busy with EICRs, remedial work, and PAT testing alongside our day-to-day domestic jobs. Our 2391-qualified team member carries out inspection and testing work for landlords ahead of new tenancies or periodic checks, and for buyers and sellers wanting a clear picture of a property's electrical condition.

On the commercial side, we work with shops, offices and units across Northampton's trading estates, covering everything from lighting and power upgrades to ongoing maintenance. Businesses often need work carried out with minimal disruption to trading hours, and we plan around that wherever we can.

Northampton is where we're based and where we carry out the bulk of our work, so we're rarely far away whatever part of town you're calling from. Give us a rough idea of the problem on the phone and we'll talk you through what's likely involved before arranging a visit.

Most of Northampton sits within our 10-mile local call-out area from Great Houghton, so pricing is straightforward at £120 including the first hour, then £45 an hour after. We guarantee our work on every job, domestic or commercial, across the town.
