Electrician in Basingstoke

JD Electricals provides domestic electrical work for homeowners and landlords across Basingstoke and the surrounding Hampshire towns, with clear written pricing.

Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.

Why customers choose JD Electricals

EICR testing in Basingstoke

  • You need a current EICR before a new tenant moves in, and again when the last one expires.
  • Buyers and solicitors often ask for an EICR so the electrics are checked before exchange.
  • We test each property in turn so you can keep certificates lined up with tenancy dates.
  • A new kitchen, extension or fuse board is a common moment to book a fresh inspection.

Fuse board replacement

  • Many houses in Kempshott, Hatch Warren and Popley still have a rewireable fuse board. We replace that unit with a modern consumer unit so the circuits have proper breakers instead of wired fuses.
  • A landlord electrical safety certificate, known as an EICR, often flags the board as the first item to change. We quote the consumer unit in writing and fit it so the next inspection can pass on the board.
  • If breakers trip, fuses blow or the board feels warm, we find the cause and say whether a new consumer unit will clear it or whether a circuit in the house needs work as well.
  • A new kitchen, oven or extra sockets can overload a small board. We check the spare ways and fit a larger consumer unit when the existing one cannot take the extra circuits.

House rewiring

  • You want every room on new wiring rather than adding sockets and lights to the old cables.
  • You are changing the layout and the existing circuits will not reach the new rooms and fittings.
  • You let the house and the installation needs replacing so tenants have new circuits and the certificate.
  • New kitchen circuits still leave the rest of the house on the old wiring, which a full house rewire replaces.

Summarised with AI

Needed some new power sockets and a replacement cooker switch. They responded quickly, communicated well, were very professional, and the cost was to the invoice and reasonable for what needed doing. Will use again and already recommending to others.
