Period homes in Market Harborough
The town centre, with the famous 17th-century Old Grammar School standing on its wooden pillars, is surrounded by Georgian and Victorian houses. Larger Victorian and Edwardian villas line many of the roads leading out of town. These homes often have high ceilings, original plasterwork and wiring that's been extended many times.
When we work in a period property, we plan cable routes to protect the fabric of the building, using floor voids and lofts wherever possible. We'll tell you honestly whether you need a full rewire or whether a new consumer unit and targeted repairs will do the job.
Kitchen and lighting projects
A new kitchen is one of the most popular home improvements in Harborough, and good lighting is what makes it work. We plan and install:
- LED downlights on dimmers for general lighting
- Under-cabinet and plinth lighting
- Pendants over islands and dining tables
- Dedicated circuits for ovens, hobs and induction cooktops
- Extra sockets, including USB and pop-up worktop sockets
See examples on our lighting installation page. It's best to get us involved before the plasterer, so the cables go in the right places first time.
Buying or selling in Market Harborough
Harborough is a popular place to move to, and older properties often come with electrical questions. An EICR before you buy tells you whether rewiring costs need factoring into your offer. If you're selling, having your certificates in order helps the sale go smoothly.
Shops, cafés and offices in the town centre
Market Harborough has one of the best independent high streets in the county, with shops, cafés, restaurants and offices in buildings that span several centuries. We help local businesses with new lighting for shop refits, extra sockets and circuits, periodic inspection and emergency lighting installation and testing.
Because many of these buildings are old, we take care to route new cables discreetly and to protect original features. We plan work around your opening hours so you can keep trading. See our commercial electrician page for more on how we help businesses.

What local customers say
Read all reviewsElectrician in Market Harborough: your questions answered
Do you cover the villages around Market Harborough?
Yes. We cover Great Bowden, Little Bowden, Lubenham, Foxton, Kibworth, Fleckney, East Farndon, Husbands Bosworth and the surrounding villages.
Can an electrician in Market Harborough rewire a period house without damaging it?
Yes. We use floor and loft voids where we can, lift boards carefully and only chase walls where there is no better option. We agree the approach with you before starting.
When should I book an electrician for a new kitchen?
Early, ideally before the old kitchen comes out. First fix wiring needs to be in before plastering, and we can plan lighting and socket positions with your kitchen designer.
Should I get an EICR before buying an older house in Harborough?
It is a good idea. An EICR tells you the condition of the wiring so you know whether you are facing a rewire, and it can help you negotiate on price.
