When you need an electrician, you want someone who picks up 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 actually suits how you use each room, 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 Southampton and the wider Hampshire area. We know the city’s housing well — from the Victorian terraces through Northam and Chapel to the Edwardian and inter-war housing across Portswood, Shirley, and Bitterne Park, the post-war estates in Thornhill, Weston, and Millbrook, the established family homes across Bassett and Highfield, and the newer developments on the edges of the city. Each property type presents different electrical challenges, and our experience across all of them means we approach every job with practical local knowledge rather than guesswork.
All our work is carried out to current BS 7671 standards, fully tested, and certified. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
Shirley and Freemantle feature a dense mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and inter-war housing on busy residential streets. Many properties in these areas have electrical installations that have been modified multiple times over decades without any comprehensive plan — a mixture of cable types, inconsistent earthing, and consumer units that predate modern safety standards. We carry out rewires, consumer unit upgrades, lighting installations, and general electrical work throughout Shirley and Freemantle, understanding the specific demands that older, frequently modified installations present and the care needed to work with traditional construction methods.
Bitterne and Sholing sit to the east of the city, characterised by solid inter-war and post-war family housing on established residential streets. Many properties across both areas have electrics that were adequate when installed but now need updating — consumer units without RCD protection, socket provision that falls short of modern demands, and lighting circuits running on cable that’s approaching the end of its reliable life. We work regularly across Bitterne, Bitterne Park, and Sholing, carrying out consumer unit upgrades, partial rewires, EV charger installations, and lighting upgrades that bring these well-built properties up to current standards without unnecessary disruption.
Bassett and Highfield feature some of Southampton’s most desirable family housing — larger detached and semi-detached properties on generous plots with mature gardens. The electrical demands in these properties are often higher than average, with multiple bathrooms, dedicated home office circuits, extensive garden lighting, and EV charger requirements. We carry out the full range of electrical services across Bassett and Highfield, from comprehensive rewires on the older properties to consumer unit upgrades, complete lighting designs, EV charger installations, and smart home wiring. The higher specification typical of properties in these areas requires an electrician who understands how to deliver quality work that matches the standard of the home.
Woolston and Thornhill feature a mix of Victorian terraced housing near the waterfront, inter-war semis, and extensive post-war estates. The post-war housing across Thornhill in particular presents a consistent set of electrical challenges — original wiring now over sixty years old, consumer units that predate RCD protection, and installations that have been patched rather than properly updated over the decades. We carry out rewires, consumer unit upgrades, and general electrical improvements across both areas regularly. Many homeowners in Woolston and Thornhill find that a partial rewire targeting the worst circuits combined with a board upgrade delivers the most practical improvement for the budget available.
