Domestic Electrician in Stratford-upon-Avon
Free written quote, NAPIT-registered, fully insured work across Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding CV37 villages.
Stratford-upon-Avon is a town where Victorian terraces sit next to Georgian townhouses, and older rental properties line streets that haven't seen a rewire in decades. Whether you need a consumer unit upgrade, a full house rewire, extra sockets, or an EICR certificate for a rental, we carry out the work to current regulations and leave the property clean and tidy.
We're NAPIT-registered, which means our work is independently assessed and certified. Every job gets a completion certificate you can hand to your mortgage lender, insurer, or tenant. We don't subcontract, and the same qualified electrician who surveys your property carries out the work. That matters more than it sounds when you're dealing with an older Stratford property where the unexpected is always possible.
What's included
Every Stratford-upon-Avon job includes.
A detailed pre-work survey of your existing installation, walking every room with you so we agree exactly what is needed before any work begins and before any price is confirmed.
Full or partial rewire using twin-and-earth cable to current BS 7671 standards, with all new back boxes, faceplates, and consumer unit connections as specified in the agreed scope.
Consumer unit replacement with a modern unit fitted with RCD or RCBO protection on every circuit, reducing the risk of electric shock and fire and meeting current building regulations.
Fault-finding and diagnostic testing on circuits that have tripped, flickered, or failed, using calibrated test equipment to locate the root cause rather than guess and replace.
EICR landlord certificate covering a full visual inspection and dead and live testing of every circuit, with a written report categorising any defects and a certificate valid for up to five years.
Additional sockets, USB outlets, or new lighting circuits installed and tested, with all new wiring routed neatly and all walls made good to a paintable finish before we leave.
Local knowledge
Electrician in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Stratford-upon-Avon's housing stock is more varied than you might expect from a market town of its size. The conservation area covering the town centre takes in a large number of listed and locally listed buildings, many of them timber-framed or built before 1900. Rewiring these properties requires careful surface-routing or thoughtful use of conduit where chasing is not permitted. We are familiar with working sensitively in older buildings where the fabric matters as much as the electrics.
Beyond the conservation area, suburbs such as Shottery, Bishopton, and Tiddington contain a mix of interwar semis, 1960s and 1970s estates, and newer infill developments. Properties in these areas commonly still run on ageing consumer units fitted with rewirable fuses rather than modern MCBs or RCBOs. A consumer unit upgrade in these homes is straightforward work but makes a meaningful difference to safety. Landlords operating in the Stratford rental market, which includes a large proportion of short-term and holiday lets in addition to standard assured shorthold tenancies, are legally required to hold a valid EICR and to act on any category C2 or C1 defects within the required timescale.
Stratford's outer villages are also increasingly suitable for solar and battery-storage additions, which often prompt homeowners to review the condition of their consumer unit at the same time. It is common on these jobs for us to identify that the existing board cannot safely accept the additional circuits a solar inverter or EV charger requires, making an electrical upgrade a sensible first step. If you are planning solar or a home EV charger in Bishopton, Shottery, or Tiddington, a combined survey covering both the electrical installation and the renewable addition is usually the most efficient approach.
Why Stratford-upon-Avon
Why Stratford-upon-Avon chooses us.
Stratford homeowners and landlords choose us because we're qualified, properly certified, and we explain what we find without jargon or pressure.
NAPIT-registered for all domestic electrical work, so every job we complete is independently certifiable and meets building regulations. You receive a completion certificate that satisfies mortgage lenders, insurers, and local authority licensing teams.
Fully insured for domestic electrical work, covering both public liability and employer's liability, so you are protected before we pick up a tool on your property.
We do not subcontract. The electrician who surveys your property is the one who carries out the work. That continuity matters when working in older Stratford properties where conditions can change once walls are opened.
Free, written, itemised quotes with no hidden costs. We survey first and price second. You will never receive an invoice that exceeds the agreed quote without prior discussion and written agreement.
We hold IWA insurance-backed guarantees, giving you long-term protection on the work beyond our own warranty period, which is particularly valuable for large jobs such as full rewires.

Often booked together
Pairs well with.
Many Stratford homeowners booking an EV charger find their existing consumer unit cannot safely support the additional load. Combining both jobs in one visit saves time and avoids two separate cable runs through the same walls.
Solar installations on Bishopton and Tiddington properties often require a consumer unit upgrade to accommodate the inverter circuit. A combined electrical and solar survey identifies this early and avoids delays on installation day.
CCTV and data cabling requires power at each camera or access-point location. Running those spurs cleanly at the same time as a rewire or additional-socket job saves repeated disruption and keeps the finish tidy.
Worth knowing
Before you book in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Listed and locally listed buildings in Stratford's conservation area may require consent before any surface chasing or visible alterations. Check with Stratford District Council planning before booking a rewire if your property is listed, as the scope of permitted works can affect how cables are routed.
Landlords in Stratford must hold a current EICR carried out by a qualified person and must remedy any C1 or C2 defects before a tenancy begins or within 28 days of an existing tenant receiving the report. Failure to comply can result in fines from the local authority.
Older properties in the town centre sometimes still use rubber-insulated or lead-sheathed wiring that predates modern PVC cable. This wiring is brittle and a fire risk; if a survey reveals it, a partial or full rewire is likely to be required rather than a simple consumer unit swap.
FAQs
Stratford-upon-Avon questions.
How long does a full house rewire take in Stratford-upon-Avon?
For a typical three-bedroom semi in Shottery or Tiddington, a full rewire usually takes between three and five working days depending on the size of the property, the number of circuits, and the condition of the existing installation. Older properties in the conservation area can take longer if cable routing needs to be surface-mounted rather than chased. We give you a realistic duration at the survey stage and confirm it in the written quote so you can plan around it.
How much does a consumer unit upgrade cost in Stratford?
We don't publish fixed prices because every property is different. The condition of your existing wiring, the number of circuits, and whether any remedial work is needed before the board can be replaced all affect the scope. What we can tell you is that every quote is free, written, and itemised with no hidden costs. We survey first, then price. Call 01527 337155 or use our online form to book a free survey and you'll have a written quote within 24 hours of the visit.
My Stratford rental property needs an EICR. How long is the certificate valid for?
An EICR for a rented property is valid for up to five years, or for the duration of a tenancy if that is shorter. For HMOs the local authority may require more frequent inspection. The certificate must be carried out by a qualified person and must be provided to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. We carry out EICRs across Stratford and issue the certificate on the day of inspection where the testing is straightforward. Any defects are clearly categorised in the written report.
Can you rewire a listed building in Stratford's conservation area?
Yes, though listed buildings require more planning than standard properties. Surface chasing may not be permitted, meaning cables are surface-routed in trunking or conduit in a way that is sympathetic to the building fabric. For Grade I or Grade II listed properties you may need listed building consent before electrical work begins; we advise you on this at the survey stage. We are experienced in working carefully in older buildings and will discuss routing options with you before any work starts so there are no surprises.
Do you carry out electrical fault-finding in Stratford?
Yes. Intermittent trips, flickering lights, dead sockets, and RCD faults are all jobs we diagnose and repair. We use calibrated test equipment to identify the root cause rather than replacing components speculatively. Some faults in older Stratford properties turn out to be caused by deteriorated wiring rather than a failed accessory, and we will always tell you honestly if that is the case and explain your options in writing before any remedial work is carried out.
Can I have EV charging or solar added at the same time as my electrical upgrade?
Yes, and combining the work often makes practical sense. If your consumer unit is being replaced, adding the circuits for an EV charger or solar inverter at the same time avoids a return visit and keeps disruption to a minimum. We install EV chargers and solar panels as well as domestic electrics, and a combined survey covers all three elements. Stratford's outer villages in particular are well-suited to solar, and a number of our customers in Bishopton and Tiddington have combined an electrical upgrade with a solar installation in a single planned programme of work.
Our commitment
We limit the number of jobs we take on each week so that each one gets the time it needs. Electrical work in older properties rarely goes entirely to plan, and rushing to fit a schedule is how corners get cut. When we quote a duration, we mean it, and if the unexpected happens inside your walls we tell you immediately and agree any change in writing before proceeding.
