Finding an electrician you trust shouldn’t involve guesswork. You want someone local who answers the phone, gives you a straight answer on what’s needed and what it costs, turns up when promised, and does the work safely and properly. Whether it’s a full rewire on an older property, a consumer unit that needs upgrading, an EV charger for the new car, lighting that transforms how your rooms look and feel, an EICR for a rental property, or a fault that needs finding and fixing — the standard of service should be the same every time.
We provide domestic electrical services across Basingstoke and the wider Hampshire area. We know the local housing well — from the older properties around the town centre and Chapel Hill to the established housing across Brighton Hill and South Ham, the family homes in Kempshott, Hatch Warren, and Beggarwood, the newer developments in Chineham and Lychpit, and the village properties throughout Old Basing, Oakley, and beyond. Each area has its own property types and its own electrical challenges, and our experience across all of them means we approach every job with practical local knowledge.
All work is carried out to current BS 7671 standards, fully tested, and certified. Contact us for a free quote.
Brighton Hill and South Ham feature large post-war housing estates built from the 1960s onward as part of Basingstoke’s new town expansion. Many properties across both areas have electrical installations that were adequate when built but are now approaching sixty years old — consumer units without RCD protection, circuits on outdated cable types, and socket provision that falls well short of modern household demands. We carry out rewires, consumer unit upgrades, additional circuits, lighting installations, and general electrical work throughout both areas, understanding the consistent construction methods and common electrical challenges that this era of housing presents.
Kempshott, Hatch Warren, and Beggarwood offer later twentieth century family housing on established residential streets. Built predominantly from the 1980s through to the 2000s, these properties have more modern electrical installations than the older estates but are now reaching the age where consumer units need upgrading, additional circuits are needed for home offices and EV chargers, and lighting upgrades transform rooms that have had the same fittings since the house was built. We work regularly across all three areas, carrying out consumer unit upgrades, EV charger installations, lighting schemes, and the electrical improvements these maturing properties increasingly need.
Chineham and Lychpit sit to the northeast of Basingstoke, offering a mix of 1980s and 1990s housing alongside newer developments. The electrical demands in these properties often centre on modernisation rather than major remedial work — consumer unit upgrades to add RCD protection and spare capacity, EV charger installations for the growing number of electric vehicle owners, lighting upgrades from basic pendants to recessed downlights and layered schemes, and additional socket circuits for home offices. We carry out the full range of electrical services across both areas, delivering quality work on properties where the installation is sound but the specification needs bringing up to date.
Old Basing, Oakley, Overton, Whitchurch, and the villages surrounding Basingstoke offer a mix of period cottages, established family housing, and newer developments on village edges. The variety of property ages means the electrical work we encounter ranges from full rewires on older cottages with original wiring to consumer unit upgrades and EV charger installations on more modern housing. Period properties in these villages present specific challenges — traditional construction methods, non-standard cable routes, and installations modified multiple times over decades. We work across the surrounding area regularly, bringing the same quality and professionalism as our Basingstoke town work to every village property.

Basingstoke’s housing spans everything from the older properties predating the new town expansion to the large post-war estates, later family housing developments, and modern new builds. We’ve worked across every property type the area offers and understand the different wiring methods, installation ages, and electrical challenges that affect homes in different parts of the town.
Whether you’re in a period property in Old Basing, a post-war house in Brighton Hill, a family home in Kempshott, a newer property in Chineham, or a village cottage in Oakley, you receive the same reliable service, transparent pricing, honest communication, and professional standard of work on every job.
Upgrade your outdated fuse box to a modern consumer unit with RCD and RCBO protection. We install high-quality units from leading manufacturers, providing enhanced protection against electric shock and electrical fires. Every installation includes full testing and NICEIC certification. Essential protection for your Basingstoke home, whether as standalone upgrade or part of broader electrical improvements. Many EV charger installations benefit from consumer unit upgrades to accommodate increased electrical demand safely and compliantly.
When circuits trip repeatedly, sockets stop working, or lights flicker without explanation, you need expert fault finding. Our Basingstoke electricians use professional testing equipment to trace electrical faults quickly and accurately, identifying problems that less experienced electricians struggle to find. We diagnose issues including earth faults, short circuits, overloaded wiring, and damaged cables, then complete lasting repairs. Don’t live with frustrating electrical problems—we’ll find and fix them efficiently.
