Electrician in Coalville

Older homes: terraces and post-war houses

Coalville grew up around its collieries, and the streets built for mining families are still at the heart of the town. Many of these terraces and semis have had their wiring extended piecemeal over the years, sometimes with old cable left in place behind newer fittings.

In these homes we often recommend starting with an EICR. It shows exactly what condition the installation is in, and it helps you decide between a rewire, a new consumer unit or a few targeted repairs. We'd rather tell you honestly that a rewire isn't needed than sell you work you don't need.

New estates around Coalville

Large new developments have gone up around Hugglescote, Donington le Heath and the edges of the town in recent years, with more still under way. If you've bought a new home, you might want to go beyond the developer's standard specification:

• Additional sockets and USB points
• Upgraded lighting, from downlights to garden lights
• An EV charger on the drive
• Outdoor sockets and power for a shed or garden office
• Wiring for extensions and loft conversions

Extensions and home improvements

With good-sized plots, many Coalville homeowners are extending rather than moving. We work with local builders to wire extensions properly: new circuits where needed, lighting planned before plastering, and everything certified under Part P. You can read about which work needs notifying on the government's Building Regulations pages.

Getting your electrics ready for heat pumps and EVs

As more Coalville households look at heat pumps, induction hobs and electric cars, the demands on the electrical installation are growing. Before you commit, it's worth checking that your supply, main fuse and consumer unit can cope. A heat pump and an EV charger each need their own dedicated circuit with the right protection, and an older board may simply not have the space.

We can assess your installation, tell you what's needed and carry out the electrical side of the project, including a consumer unit upgrade where required. Getting this right first avoids nuisance tripping and expensive changes later on.
