Taunton's town centre has Georgian and Victorian buildings, many now flats or offices, surrounded by Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and large post-war estates. Older homes may have a mix of old and new circuits or a fuse box that has never been replaced, and post-war houses often have circuits extended for kitchens and extensions.
An EICR is the honest starting point. It shows the condition of every circuit, so you can decide on a rewire, a consumer unit upgrade or simple repairs with the facts in front of you, and a clear quote before any work starts.
New estates around the town
Taunton has large new estates such as Monkton Heathfield to the north-east and Comeytrowe to the south-west. New homes come with modern consumer units and RCD protection, but rarely enough sockets. Typical jobs are extra sockets, outdoor power and garden lighting. If your home is still under a builder's warranty, check its terms before making changes.
Villages and the Somerset Levels
Out in the villages and across the Levels, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses with outbuildings, workshops and long runs to a garage or stables. A supply to an outbuilding needs a cable sized for the distance and the load, protected properly at both ends. We work that out before quoting, then install, test and certify it. Rural homes can be on an overhead supply, so we check the earthing arrangement as part of any job.
Businesses and landlords
From offices in the town centre to units on the business parks and industrial estates at Blackbrook and Priorswood, we install power, lighting and distribution boards and carry out commercial EICRs and fixed wire testing, working around your hours. Private landlords in England need an EICR at least every five years. If you have several homes around Taunton, we can inspect them on the same trip.

Questions from Taunton customers
Do you cover Wellington and the villages around Taunton?
Yes, including Wellington, Bishops Lydeard, Norton Fitzwarren, Wiveliscombe and the villages on the Levels. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just ask.
Who handles building control for work in Taunton?
Taunton is in Somerset. Some electrical work, such as a new consumer unit or a new circuit to an outbuilding, 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 run power to a barn or workshop?
Yes. We size the cable for the distance and what you'll be using, run an armoured supply, and fit a small consumer unit, sockets and lighting in the building. It's tested and certified when finished, and we'll tell you beforehand if the work is notifiable.
Can you come out for an emergency in Taunton?
Yes, the 24/7 emergency callout covers Taunton. It's further from our base than Bristol or Bath, so 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.
