Electrician in Brockenhurst

The jobs I am called out for here

Most calls are the everyday ones. A circuit that keeps tripping, a socket or light that has died, a switch or fitting to change, an immersion or shower that has stopped heating. Consumer unit replacements where the board is an old fuse box with no RCD protection. EICRs and landlord certificates, with the remedial work afterwards if the report asks for it. Then the additions: sockets and lighting, outside power, a cooker or car-charger circuit, and rewiring — whole house or a floor at a time.

Peter comes out, looks at the job, and gives a price before anything is touched. NAPIT registered, fully insured, and certificates issued for the work that needs them. The quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

The village and the properties around it

Brockenhurst sits in the middle of the Forest between Lyndhurst and Lymington, and I cover the village and the properties spread out around it. If yours is down a track or a shared drive, say so when you get in touch — it helps to know where the van can go before I arrive.

Supplies to buildings away from the house

One thing that comes up more here than in a town: a workshop, garage or garden office some distance from the house. Distance changes the job — a long run needs a heavier cable, a proper route and protection at both ends, and a small board of its own if the building will have more than a light and a socket. Whether it needs its own earth is settled by testing rather than assumption.

Building work and car charging

An extension, a loft conversion or an outbuilding being fitted out all want the electrics planned in, not added at the end. The circuits go in while the structure is still open, we agree where the sockets and lights go first, and I check the board has the capacity and protection for what’s going in. Doing it in that order keeps the cost down.

Charging a car at home is worth raising in the same conversation. An EV charge point needs a circuit of its own, and on a property with a long drive or a detached garage the cable route and the earthing arrangement matter as much as the charger itself.

Not sure where to start?

Most people who ring don’t know whether it’s a small repair or something bigger, and that’s fine. I’ll come and look, tell you what I find without the jargon, say honestly what can be left for now, and price the rest. 15 years in, I’d rather do that than sell you a job you don’t need. Let’s have a chat.
