Everything your Henley Green property needs
The electrical work we carry out on Henley Green properties, from fault finding and new circuits to consumer units and complete rewires.
Electrical Installations
Installation work from a single new circuit to a complete first and second fix, with the certificate that goes with it.
Full & Partial Rewiring
Full and partial rewires. Testing first establishes which of the two a property actually needs.
Lighting Installation & Upgrades
New lighting and upgrades to existing, chosen so lamps can be replaced rather than the whole fitting scrapped.
Fuse Board Upgrades
Fuse board and consumer unit upgrades — the single biggest safety improvement available on most older installations.
Fault Finding & Repairs
Systematic fault finding by testing rather than by replacing parts and hoping.
Safety Inspections & Testing (EICR)
Periodic inspection and testing, reported with clear C1, C2 and C3 coding and a plain explanation of each.

What we check on a property in Henley Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Henley Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Outdoor and outbuilding circuits
We check supplies to garages, sheds and garden lighting for correct protection, suitable cable and weatherproof accessories. Water in an outdoor socket is a classic cause of nuisance tripping.
Cable routes and depth in walls
Cables should run in permitted zones or be mechanically protected. Cables run diagonally across a wall are a real hazard to anyone later fixing a shelf, and they are not visible without testing.
Insulation resistance
Testing insulation resistance circuit by circuit shows up deteriorating cable and moisture ingress before they cause a fault. It is also what distinguishes a tired installation from a dangerous one.
Cable type and age
We look at the cable at the board and at accessible points. Rubber, lead or fabric sheathing changes the recommendation entirely, because that cable cannot safely be disturbed or extended.
Accessibility for the people living there
Switch and socket heights, and whether isolation points can actually be reached. Worth considering whenever an installation is being altered anyway.
Existing certification
We ask what paperwork exists for previous work. Its presence or absence tells us how much of the installation has been tested before and what a new report needs to cover.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Have you worked around Castlewood School?
Castlewood School is in the part of Henley Green we cover, and electrical work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
Do you only work in Henley Green, or the surrounding streets too?
Both. Work in Henley Green usually takes us into Bell Green (about 0.5 miles away), Courthouse Green (about 0.9 miles away), Walsgrave (about 0.9 miles away) and Wyken (about 1 mile away) as well, and we quote for all of them on the same terms. There is no boundary line that changes the price.
Do I need an electrician to add a socket?
Adding a socket to an existing circuit is not notifiable in England, so legally you may do it yourself. Whether you should is another matter: it still has to comply with the wiring regulations, and the circuit has to be able to take it. What is notifiable is a new circuit, any work in a bathroom, and consumer unit replacement. Those must be notified to Building Control or carried out under a competent person scheme.
Do I need a full rewire, or will a partial one do?
A partial rewire is sensible where part of the installation is sound and part is not — commonly where lighting has been updated but the ring final circuits have not, or where an extension was wired recently. It is a false economy where the existing cable is at the end of its life, because the old section will fail next and you pay twice for making good. Testing is what tells the two apart.
What is the difference between an RCD and an RCBO?
An RCD detects current leaking to earth and cuts the supply. An MCB protects against overload and short circuit. An RCBO combines both in one device per circuit. The practical difference is what happens when something trips: with a shared RCD, one fault takes out several circuits at once, whereas with RCBOs only the faulty circuit goes off. That matters most for freezers, boilers and home working.
Is it worth changing to LED lighting?
Generally yes, for the running cost and the lamp life. Two practical cautions: dimmers made for filament lamps often will not dim LEDs smoothly and may need replacing, and very cheap LED fittings with integrated lamps cannot be re-lamped, so the whole fitting is scrap when the LED fails. Choosing fittings that take a replaceable lamp is usually the better long-term buy.
How much do electricians cost in Henley Green?
