Working withTowcester property owners
Towcester lies south-west of our Great Houghton base, a straightforward drive down the A5 and A43, and it's one of the market towns we're out at on a regular basis.
As one of the oldest towns in the country, Towcester has a historic centre with stone and brick period buildings close to Watling Street, alongside newer residential estates that have grown up on the edges of town over the last couple of decades.
The older buildings in the town centre and surrounding conservation areas often need careful, sympathetic electrical work, including rewires that respect original features, while the newer estates tend to bring more straightforward requests like extra sockets, EV chargers and consumer unit checks.
Towcester also has a good spread of independent shops, trade units and offices, so we regularly carry out commercial electrical work here alongside our domestic jobs.
The town also sits close to Silverstone, which brings its own steady flow of visitors and short-term lets, so landlords and holiday let owners in the area often call on us for periodic inspections and quick turnarounds between bookings.
Whether you're in a cottage just off the historic centre or a newer house on one of the estates towards Brackley Road, we tailor the work to the property rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Several of the roads near the market square have restricted access, so we plan our visits with that in mind to avoid wasting your time or ours. Towcester's conservation area status means we're always mindful of keeping external fittings sympathetic to the surroundings while still meeting current standards.

Common issues
Electrical problemscommon in Towcester
The age range of properties in and around Towcester means we see a wide spread of electrical issues. Spotting these early usually means a simpler, cheaper fix than waiting until something fails outright. If you're weighing up a repair against a replacement, we'll give you a straight answer either way.
Old cabling in period buildings
Town centre buildings near Watling Street can still have old rubber or lead-sheathed cable that's well past its safe working life. Left unchecked, these sorts of issues tend to get more expensive to fix the longer they're left.
Fuse boards without RCD protection
Older Towcester homes sometimes still run on original fuse boxes with no RCD protection fitted. Left unchecked, these sorts of issues tend to get more expensive to fix the longer they're left.
Damp affecting outdoor circuits
Garden and outbuilding circuits on the edges of town need to be properly sealed against damp and condensation over winter. Left unchecked, these sorts of issues tend to get more expensive to fix the longer they're left.
Rural overhead supplies
Some properties just outside Towcester are fed by overhead lines, which can bring their own earthing and supply considerations. Left unchecked, these sorts of issues tend to get more expensive to fix the longer they're left.
Added load on newer estates
Newer estate homes with EVs and home offices can push older circuits closer to their limits than originally intended. Left unchecked, these sorts of issues tend to get more expensive to fix the longer they're left.
