Electrician in Oadby

Upgrading Oadby's 1930s and family homes

Much of Oadby was built between the wars, with generous semis and detached houses on tree-lined roads off the A6. These are well-built homes, but their electrics have usually been updated in stages. It's common to find a mix of old and new wiring, not enough sockets for modern living and lighting that doesn't do justice to the rooms.

For these homes, we often recommend a consumer unit upgrade and inspection first, followed by targeted improvements, or a full rewire if you're renovating.

Lighting design and smart home upgrades

Larger rooms really benefit from well-planned lighting. We design and install layered lighting schemes with downlights, feature pendants, wall lights and LED strips, all on dimmers or smart controls. Popular Oadby upgrades include:

• Smart lighting and switches you can control from your phone
• Video doorbells, security lighting and CCTV wiring
• Garden lighting for patios, paths and planting
• Data cabling for reliable Wi-Fi and home offices
• Kitchen extension wiring and lighting

EV chargers in Oadby

With plenty of driveways and a high number of electric and hybrid cars, Oadby is one of the busiest areas for our EV charger installations. We check your supply and earthing, install a smart charger on its own circuit and set it up so you can charge on a cheap overnight tariff.

Home offices and reliable data

Many Oadby households now include at least one person working from home, and larger houses can be hard to cover with Wi-Fi alone. We install data cabling from your router to the rooms that need it most, such as a study, a garden office or the living room TV, and add wired access points so the signal is strong throughout the house.

A good home office also needs plenty of sockets with USB charging, proper task lighting and, for garden offices, an armoured supply from the house with its own small consumer unit. We'll plan it all with you so the finished room works the way you do.
