Cheltenham is known for its Regency architecture: stucco terraces, villas and crescents in Montpellier, Pittville and Lansdown, with Victorian houses in Leckhampton, Charlton Kings and beyond. Wiring in these buildings has often been replaced in stages, and careless cable runs through original plaster and floors are expensive to put right.
We test first, then plan routes under floors, through voids and along existing runs to keep chasing to a minimum, and suggest fittings that suit the room. A rewire or consumer unit upgrade is quoted clearly before any work starts.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Much of Cheltenham is covered by conservation areas, and the town has a great many listed buildings. If your home is listed, some alterations, which can include electrical work, need listed building consent from Cheltenham Borough Council. Check with the council before work starts. We'll describe exactly what the job involves so you have the details to hand. There's more on how we approach older buildings on our Bath page.
Flat conversions, HMOs and student lets
Many of Cheltenham's large period houses are now flats, and there are shared houses and student lets near the university campuses. Converted buildings often have a separate supply and consumer unit for each flat plus a landlord's supply for the communal areas, and it isn't always clear what feeds what.
Private landlords in England need an EICR at least every five years, and that includes HMOs. Shared houses usually need a more extensive fire alarm system than a family home. Your fire risk assessment and any HMO licence conditions set out what's needed, and we install and test to suit.
Shops, offices and hospitality
For shops, restaurants, hotels and offices, we install power and lighting, help plan layouts for office fit-outs, and carry out commercial EICRs planned around your working hours.

Questions from Cheltenham customers
Do you cover all of Cheltenham and Bishop's Cleeve?
Yes, including Montpellier, Pittville, Lansdown, Charlton Kings, Leckhampton, Prestbury and Bishop's Cleeve. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just ask.
Do you work in listed buildings in Cheltenham?
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 Cheltenham Borough Council before work starts. We'll describe the work clearly to help you ask.
Who handles building control for work in Cheltenham?
Cheltenham is in Gloucestershire. Some electrical work, such as a new consumer unit or a new circuit, is notifiable under the Building Regulations. We'll tell you before work starts whether your job is notifiable. As a NAPIT-registered electrician, we notify the work to building control through the scheme for you, and you receive the certificate when it's finished.
Can you test every flat in a converted house?
Yes. We test each flat's installation and the landlord's supply for the communal areas, with a separate report for each. Where circuits aren't labelled or it's unclear what feeds what, we trace and label them as part of the job.
What fire alarm does a shared house need?
It depends on the size and layout of the house and how it's let. Your fire risk assessment, and any HMO licence conditions from the council, set out what's required. We install the system they call for, then test and certify it.
