Electrician in Knowle, Bristol
NICEIC approved electrician serving Knowle and the wider BS4 area. Reliable electrical services for your home, from rewiring to EV charger installation.
Knowle is a well-established, mature residential area in south Bristol, known for its tree-lined avenues and predominantly 1930s semi-detached housing. Situated within the BS4 postcode, it is a popular choice for families thanks to its good local schools, green spaces such as Redcatch Park, and easy access to the Wells Road and the city centre. Many of Knowle's homes are now over 90 years old, and while they were built to a good standard, the original electrical installations have long since reached the end of their safe working life. Common issues include outdated rubber-insulated wiring, inadequate earthing, and old-style fuse boxes without RCD protection. MB Electrical regularly works with Knowle homeowners to upgrade their electrical systems, whether that is a full rewire, a consumer unit replacement, or adding extra circuits for modern appliances. We understand the construction of these inter-war properties and work efficiently to minimise disruption to your household.

Common Electrical Projects in Knowle
Consumer unit upgrades are one of the most frequent jobs we carry out in Knowle. Many of the 1930s semis along Broadwalk, Ilminster Avenue, and Leinster Avenue still have old-style rewirable fuse boards that offer no RCD protection. Replacing these with a modern consumer unit is a straightforward upgrade that dramatically improves household safety and is often the first step before any other electrical work.
Full and partial rewires are common in properties along Wells Road and Redcatch Road, where ageing rubber-insulated cables have deteriorated over the decades and no longer meet current safety standards. We strip out the old wiring and install modern twin-and-earth cables throughout, bringing the entire installation up to BS 7671 requirements. Kitchen and bathroom circuit upgrades are also popular, particularly where homeowners are fitting new units and need dedicated circuits for ovens, hobs, and electric showers.
Garage conversions along Novers Hill and the surrounding streets often require a new power supply run from the main consumer unit, along with lighting, sockets, and sometimes a dedicated EV charger circuit. We also install EV charging points on driveways across Knowle, where off-street parking makes home charging a practical and popular choice for residents switching to electric vehicles.
