A lot of Yate grew in the decades after the war, and many houses on its older estates still have their original wiring or an early consumer unit. That wiring is now several decades old. Some will have plenty of life left; some won't.
Rather than guess, we recommend an EICR first. It shows the condition of each circuit and whether a rewire is needed now, later or not at all. If a rewire does make sense, we plan it room by room to keep you living in the house where possible, and you get a clear quote before any work starts.
New builds at Ladden Garden Village
Newer homes, including those at Ladden Garden Village, come with modern wiring and RCD protection, but rarely with enough sockets or outdoor power. Typical jobs are extra double sockets, USB sockets, outdoor sockets and lighting, and moving or adding lights in a kitchen. If your home is still under a builder's warranty, check its terms before making changes.
Garden offices and outbuildings
Garden offices, workshops and summer houses need a proper supply: a suitably sized armoured cable from the house, protected at the house end and fed into a small consumer unit in the building itself. We work out the load, sockets, lighting and heating you need, install the supply and test and certify it.
Landlords and businesses
Private landlords in England need an EICR at least every five years, and we can inspect, report and carry out remedials. For shops around the town centre and units on Yate's industrial estates, we install power, lighting and distribution boards, and carry out commercial EICRs planned around your working hours.

Questions from Yate customers
Do you cover Chipping Sodbury and the villages near Yate?
Yes, including Chipping Sodbury, Iron Acton, Westerleigh, Coalpit Heath, Frampton Cotterell and Wickwar, as well as Pucklechurch where we're based. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just ask.
Does my 1970s house need a rewire?
Not necessarily. Age alone doesn't decide it. An EICR tests each circuit and shows whether the wiring is still in good condition, needs some repairs, or should be replaced. We'll explain the results in plain language and give you a clear quote for anything it recommends.
Can you run power to my garden office?
Yes. We size the cable for what you'll be using, run an armoured supply from the house, and fit the sockets, lighting and protection the building needs. It's tested and certified when finished, and we'll tell you beforehand if the work is notifiable.
Who handles building control for work in Yate?
Yate is in South Gloucestershire. Some electrical work, such as a new circuit to a garden building or a new consumer unit, is notifiable under the Building Regulations. We'll tell you before work starts whether your job is notifiable and how it will be notified.
Will adding sockets affect my new-build warranty?
It depends on the warranty, so check its terms or ask the builder before any changes are made. Any work we do is tested and certified to BS 7671, so you'll have the paperwork to show what was done.
