Electrician in Lockleaze, Bristol

Consumer unit upgrades are one of the most frequent jobs we carry out across Lockleaze. The post-war homes along Gainsborough Square, Constable Road, and Romney Avenue were built with basic electrical systems that are now decades past their expected lifespan, and many still have old fuse boards with rewirable fuses and no RCD protection. Replacing these with a modern dual-RCD consumer unit is a cost-effective upgrade that dramatically improves household safety, and we typically complete the changeover within half a day.

Full rewires are commonly needed in the older Lockleaze properties, particularly along Branscombe Road, Crome Road, and the streets around Purdown. Post-war wiring often used early PVC or rubber insulation that has become brittle and unsafe over the decades, and many homes have had circuits added over the years without proper planning, resulting in overloaded and poorly organised installations. We strip out the old wiring completely and install modern twin-and-earth cabling with ample sockets and lighting points for modern family living, all fully certified to BS 7671 standards.

With Lockleaze's generous gardens and off-street parking, garden office wiring and EV charger installations are increasingly popular. We run dedicated electrical supplies to garden offices and outbuildings, providing full circuits for lighting, heating, and socket outlets so residents can work from home in comfort. EV chargers are fitted with their own dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, and we handle the complete installation from initial survey through to commissioning. For residents on the newer Cheswick Village development, smart home upgrades and additional lighting circuits are the most common requests.
