Much of Bath is Georgian and Victorian stone, with lime plaster, decorative cornicing and original joinery, and a large part of the city sits inside the conservation area. Many houses and flats are listed, from the crescents and terraces of Lansdown and Bathwick to streets in Widcombe and Larkhall.
That changes how electrical work is planned. Cutting into old walls or historic plasterwork is a last resort. We look for routes that avoid damage, such as under floorboards, through existing voids and old service routes, or in neat surface conduit where there's no other way. We can also suggest switches and sockets that suit the room, such as metal or period-style plates instead of plain white plastic.
If your home is listed, some alterations, which can include electrical work, need listed building consent. That isn't something an electrician can give, so check with Bath and North East Somerset Council before work starts. We'll describe exactly what the job involves, so you have the details to hand when you ask.
Landlords and lets in Bath
Bath has a busy rental market, from student houses in Oldfield Park and Twerton to flats carved out of townhouses in the centre. Private landlords in England need an EICR at least every five years. In older and converted properties these often turn up the same few things: no RCD protection, missing bonding to gas and water pipes, or wiring altered by previous owners.
We carry out the inspection and testing, explain the report in plain language, and quote clearly for any remedial work. Where a flat is part of a shared building, we can look at the communal supply and fire alarms too.
Bath businesses
Plenty of Bath's shops, cafés, offices and guest houses trade from historic buildings, often with old wiring and little room for a new distribution board. We install power and lighting, upgrade boards, fit fire alarm panels and detectors, and carry out commercial EICRs, fitting the work around trading hours and quieter days where that helps.

Questions from Bath customers
Do you work in listed buildings?
Yes. We plan cable routes to avoid damaging historic fabric and can suggest fittings that suit the building. Some alterations to a listed building need listed building consent, so check with Bath and North East Somerset Council before work starts. We can't give consent, but we'll describe the work clearly to help you ask.
Do you cover all of Bath?
Yes, across the city, including Widcombe, Larkhall, Combe Down, Oldfield Park, Weston, Bathwick and Lansdown. If you're unsure whether we reach your road, just ask.
Can you come out quickly if the power goes?
There's a 24/7 emergency callout. When we can arrive depends on your location and what's already booked, so ring 07477 017759 and we'll tell you honestly. If you see sparking or smell burning, turn the power off at the consumer unit if you can do so safely.
Do you carry out landlord EICRs in Bath?
Yes. We inspect and test the installation, give you the report for your records and your tenants, and quote clearly for any remedial work it calls for. Landlords in England need a new report at least every five years.
Do you cover the villages around Bath?
Yes, including Batheaston, Bathford, Saltford, Corsham, Bradford on Avon, Midsomer Norton and Radstock, as well as Bristol and the wider South West.
