Electrician in Eastville, Bristol

The 1930s semi-detached homes that line many of Eastville's streets, particularly along Fishponds Road, Royate Hill, and Crofts End Road, are among the most common properties we work on in the area. Many of these homes still have their original or mid-century wiring, which often includes lead-sheathed cables, round-pin sockets, and fuse boxes with rewirable fuses. We carry out full rewires in these properties, taking advantage of the cavity walls and accessible floor voids to route new cables efficiently while minimising disruption to plaster and decoration.

Consumer unit upgrades are another frequent request in Eastville, particularly from homeowners who have recently purchased properties and want to ensure their electrical installation is safe and compliant. We replace outdated fuse boards with modern dual-RCD or RCBO consumer units, providing the level of protection required by current regulations. For landlords with rental properties in the area, we also carry out EICR testing to meet the legal requirement for five-yearly electrical safety inspections, along with any remedial work that may be needed.

With many Eastville homes benefiting from driveways and garages, EV charger installations have become one of our most popular services in the area. We install dedicated charging points with their own supply from the consumer unit, handling everything from the initial survey through to final commissioning and certification. Garage lighting upgrades are also a common add-on, with LED batten lights providing bright, energy-efficient illumination for workshops and storage areas.
