Electrician in Syston

Upgrading new-build homes in Syston

Syston has grown a great deal in recent years, with large new estates on the edge of town. New-build electrics are safe and modern, but they are built to a budget. Many owners soon find they want more:

• Extra double sockets, especially in kitchens, bedrooms and home offices
• USB sockets and dedicated circuits for desks and gaming set-ups
• Downlights and under-cabinet lighting to replace basic pendants
• Outdoor sockets and garden lighting
• An EV charger on the drive
• Power and data for a garden office or garage conversion

If your home is still under the developer's warranty, we'll add to the installation carefully and certify everything we do, so your paperwork stays in order.

Older homes in the Wreake Valley

Away from the new estates, Syston and the neighbouring villages have plenty of older houses, bungalows and 1960s and 70s semis. These are the homes where we most often find old fuse boards, a shortage of sockets and wiring that has had decades of additions. A consumer unit upgrade or an EICR is usually the sensible starting point.

Village homes in Queniborough and Rearsby

Queniborough and Rearsby both have attractive old village centres with cottages, farmhouses and period homes alongside later infill. These properties are more likely to have older wiring, low ceilings and solid walls, so we take extra care over cable routes and finishes. An EICR is a good way to find out what you're dealing with before planning any work.

Why choose our electrician in Syston?

You deal directly with Szymon, the electrician who does the work, from the first phone call to the final certificate. We turn up when we say we will, keep your home tidy and explain what we're doing in plain English. As a NICEIC approved contractor, our work is assessed and certified to BS 7671. You can check any contractor's registration on the NICEIC website.

Syston also has a good number of small businesses, from shops on the High Street to units on the industrial estates. We carry out commercial electrical work there too.

Home offices and garden rooms in Syston

More people now work from home at least part of the week, and many Syston customers have turned a box room, garage or garden building into an office. A good home office needs more than one socket behind the desk. We typically install a dedicated circuit, several double sockets with USB charging, good task lighting and a wired data connection so video calls don't drop out.

For garden offices, we run an armoured supply from the house to a small consumer unit in the building, then add sockets, lighting, heating circuits and outside lights. Everything is tested and certified, so it's safe and fully documented.
