Keynsham's housing spans well over a century. Around the old town there are Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas, many rewired in stages over the years. Further out, inter-war and post-war semis often have an older consumer unit and circuits that have been extended as families added kitchens and extensions. On the site of the old Fry's chocolate factory, the Somerdale development has brought hundreds of new homes with modern wiring.
Each brings different work. In older homes, we test before recommending anything, and route new cables under floors and through existing voids to keep damage to plaster to a minimum. In newer homes, it's usually extra sockets, outdoor power and lighting.
Conservation areas and listed buildings
Part of central Keynsham is a conservation area, and the town has listed buildings. Planning and listed building matters here are dealt with by Bath and North East Somerset Council. If your home is listed, some alterations, which can include electrical work, need listed building consent. That's something to check with the council before work starts. We'll describe exactly what the job involves, so you have the details to hand when you ask. There's more on how we work in listed homes in Bath.
Landlords and businesses
Keynsham has a good mix of rented homes, from flats near the station to family houses. Private landlords in England need an EICR at least every five years, and we can inspect, report and carry out any remedial work. For shops, cafés and offices on and around the High Street, we install power and lighting and carry out commercial EICRs, fitting work around trading hours.
A short drive away
We're based in Pucklechurch, a short drive from Keynsham, so travel is quick for planned work and an emergency callout comes from nearby. When we can arrive depends on what's already booked, so call and we'll tell you honestly.

Questions from Keynsham customers
Do you cover Saltford and the villages around Keynsham?
Yes, including Saltford, Bitton, Whitchurch, Queen Charlton, Compton Dando and Pensford, as well as Bristol and Bath. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just ask.
My house is in a conservation area. Does that affect electrical work?
Usually not for work inside the house. Conservation area rules mostly concern outside changes, so external lights or cables on a front wall may need more thought. If your home is listed, check with Bath and North East Somerset Council before work starts, as some alterations need listed building consent.
Who handles building control for work in Keynsham?
Keynsham is in Bath and North East Somerset. 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 and how it will be notified.
Do you work on Somerdale new builds?
Yes. Typical jobs are extra sockets, outdoor sockets and lighting. If your home is still under a builder's warranty, check its terms before making changes. Everything we install is tested and certified to BS 7671, so you'll have the paperwork.
Can you upgrade an old fuse box in a period house?
Yes. We test the existing circuits first, because a new consumer unit can show up faults the old fuses didn't. If the wiring is sound, the upgrade goes ahead; if not, we explain what needs doing and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
