Richmond and the villages around it, from the market place down to the river. A lot of the housing stock here is old, some of it is listed, and a good deal of it sits inside the conservation area. That changes how the work gets done.
Thick stone walls, lath and plaster, floors that have been down two hundred years and stairs that were not built for cable. Rewiring an older Richmond property is a different exercise to rewiring a nineteen eighties semi, and the difference is almost entirely about routes.
Where a wall cannot be chased, the answer is finding another way round rather than making a mess and apologising afterwards. Floor voids, existing routes, skirting, sometimes surface containment where it can be kept out of sight. On a listed building there are limits on what can be cut into at all, and that has to be sorted out before the job starts rather than discovered on the second morning.
Reports on properties being bought or sold, which is common in a town where a lot of houses change hands with a good deal of history behind the plaster. Fuse boards in houses that were last touched decades ago. And chargers, where the awkward part is usually not the electrics but the distance between where the board is and where a car can actually park.
On a terrace with no drive, that last one is worth an honest conversation before any money is spent.
The full range is available everywhere on the patch. These are the four that come up most around Richmond.
Older and listed property is regular work here, but what can be cut into is not a decision for the electrician. Where consent is needed that has to be in place first. What you get from this end is a route plan that keeps the damage to the minimum the building will allow, agreed with you before anything is opened up.
Sometimes, and sometimes the honest answer is no. It comes down to whether there is somewhere off the public footpath for the car and the cable. Trailing a lead across a pavement is not something that will be installed here. It is worth a look and a straight answer rather than a hopeful quote.
Tell me roughly where you are and what needs doing. I come back to you within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
