Much of central Weston was built in the Victorian and Edwardian years, when the town grew as a seaside resort. Many of the big villas are now flats or guesthouses, with wiring altered piece by piece over the years. It's common to find circuits extended well beyond what they were designed for, or an older consumer unit with little or no RCD protection.
We start with an EICR so you know the condition of each circuit. We explain what's urgent and what can wait, and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Guesthouses and holiday lets
If you take paying guests, you have fire safety duties, and your fire risk assessment sets out the alarm system the building needs. We install and upgrade fire alarm systems, from interlinked mains smoke and heat alarms in a small holiday let to a panel system in a larger guesthouse, and we test emergency lighting too. We plan the work around your bookings.
Sea air and older walls
Salt air and wind-driven rain are hard on anything electrical fixed to the outside of a building, and fittings facing the sea can corrode faster than they would inland. When we fit outdoor power or security lighting, we choose fittings rated for exposed positions and seal every entry properly.
Haywood Village and Locking Parklands
The newer estates on the east side of town, including Haywood Village and Locking Parklands, come with modern wiring 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.
Landlords and businesses
Private landlords in England need an EICR at least every five years, and we can inspect, report and carry out remedial work. For shops, cafés and offices, we carry out commercial EICRs and installation work, planned around your opening hours.

Questions from Weston customers
Do you cover Worle and the villages around Weston?
Yes, including Worle, Uphill, Kewstoke, Locking and Hutton. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just ask.
What fire alarm does my holiday let need?
It depends on the property, so start with your fire risk assessment, which sets out what's required. We install or upgrade the system it calls for, from interlinked mains smoke and heat alarms to a panel system for a larger building, and test and certify it when finished.
Who handles building control for work in Weston-super-Mare?
Weston-super-Mare is in North 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. 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 fit outdoor lights that will stand up to the sea air?
Yes. We choose fittings rated for outdoor use in exposed positions and seal every cable entry properly. Everything is tested and certified to BS 7671 when finished.
Can you come out for an emergency in Weston?
Yes, the 24/7 emergency callout covers Weston-super-Mare. When you call, 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.
