Swindon grew around the Great Western Railway works, and the terraced streets built for railway workers are still a big part of the town, along with older houses up in Old Town. Many have been rewired at some point, but often in stages, so it's common to find older circuits alongside newer ones. An EICR shows where you stand before you spend anything.
1970s and 1980s estates
Large estates such as Toothill, Freshbrook and the rest of West Swindon date from the 1970s and 1980s. The original wiring in these homes is often still sound, but many still have their first consumer unit, with limited RCD protection, and circuits extended over the years for kitchens, extensions and garages.
A consumer unit upgrade is often the sensible next step. We test the circuits first, because a new board can show up faults the old one didn't, and you get a clear quote before any work starts.
Wichelstowe, Tadpole Garden Village and Badbury Park
Swindon's newest estates come with modern consumer units and RCD protection, but rarely enough sockets or any outdoor power. Typical jobs are extra sockets, outdoor power, garden lighting and power to a garden office. If your home is still under a builder's warranty, check its terms before making changes.
Warehouses, industrial units and offices
With the M4 running past the town, Swindon has a lot of distribution warehouses, industrial units and offices. We carry out fixed wire testing and commercial EICRs, testing circuit by circuit so the site keeps working, and install power, lighting and distribution boards. We also install and service fire alarms and test emergency lighting. Private landlords with homes in Swindon can book EICRs and remedial work too.

Questions from Swindon customers
Do you cover Royal Wootton Bassett and the villages around Swindon?
Yes, including Royal Wootton Bassett, Highworth, Wroughton, Stratton and the villages around them. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just ask.
Who handles building control for work in Swindon?
Swindon is in Wiltshire. 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.
My 1980s house still has its original fuse board. Should I replace it?
Not automatically. If it has little or no RCD protection, an upgrade is usually worth considering, but we test the circuits first and explain the results. If the wiring is sound, we give you a clear quote for the new consumer unit; if not, we explain what needs doing first.
Can you test a warehouse without stopping work?
Yes. We test circuit by circuit and agree the order with you, so power is only off on one circuit at a time. Anything that can't be switched off is recorded as a limitation on the report, and testing can be done outside your working hours.
Can you come out for an emergency in Swindon?
Yes, the 24/7 emergency callout covers Swindon, and we'll tell you an honest arrival time on the phone. If you see sparking or smell burning, turn the power off at the consumer unit if you can do so safely.
