Electrician services from JD Electricals

Electrical services in Basingstoke

Something in the house has stopped working, or the fuse board looks past its best. JD Electricals covers Basingstoke homes and rented property, from small repairs through to full testing and certification.

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.

Electrician in Basingstoke

  • A fuse board that keeps tripping, a rewire before you move in, or a landlord certificate before a tenancy starts: JD Electricals books all of these across Basingstoke and the RG21 to RG24 postcodes.
  • Fault finding traces the circuit behind a dead socket, a tripping light or a shower that has cut out, then repairs it.
  • A fuse board replacement puts in a new consumer unit, and every circuit in the house is tested and recorded before we leave.
  • An EICR is the electrical safety certificate a landlord needs, and it lists anything in the property that has to be put right.

What the houses around Basingstoke mean for the work

  • Wiring in a Basingstoke home follows the decade the house went up, so the estate you live on shapes what we look at first.
  • These went up as London overspill estates through the 1960s and early 1970s, so we start with the age of the board and the circuits feeding it.
  • Private estate housing from the 1970s and 1980s, where a rewire or a board change is priced on the number of circuits rather than the size of the rooms.
  • Family housing from the late 1990s into the 2000s, so an addition such as an EV charger runs off a newer board, and we check it has room for the new circuit.

Electrical services in Basingstoke

Each service has its own page with what the job covers and the price it starts from.

What happens on the day

Every Basingstoke visit runs the same way, whichever job you have booked.

  1. 01

    Arrival

    The electrician who attends goes through the job with you, finds the fuse board and the meter, and says how long the power will be off.

  2. 02

    The work

    Circuits stay off only for as long as the work needs, and anything found that changes the price is put to you before it is done.

  3. 03

    Testing and paperwork

    Every circuit that was touched is tested, and you get the certificate for the work in writing.

The price is in writing before the work starts, the circuits are tested before we go, and the paperwork for the job comes with it. Bronze, Silver and Gold maintenance plans take 5, 10 or 15 percent off labour and certificates for customers who want the wiring looked at every year.

Questions Basingstoke customers ask

The questions that come up most often when people call about a Basingstoke property.

How much is an EICR in Basingstoke?+

An EICR starts at £150. The price follows the number of circuits in the board, so a small flat costs less than a four bedroom house with a supply to an outbuilding. You get the certificate listing anything that has to be put right.

How much does it cost to replace a fuse box?+

A fuse board replacement starts at £650. The number of circuits and how easy the board is to reach decide the final price, so a board boxed into a cupboard takes longer. Every circuit is tested once the new unit is in.

What does a rewire cost?+

A full house rewire starts at £4,800 and a kitchen rewire starts at £1,600. The number of rooms and circuits drives the price, along with whether floors and walls are already open. Rewires are quoted after seeing the property.

Do you fit EV chargers?+

Yes. A 7.4kW home charge point starts at £750. The cable run from the fuse board to where the car parks is what moves the price, and we check the board has room for the new circuit before quoting.

My lights keep tripping, what will it cost to find the fault?+

Fault finding and repair is £75 an hour. Circuits are tested one at a time until the fault shows itself, then it is repaired. A minor works certificate from £95 covers the repair where one is needed.

Can you come out in an emergency?+

Emergency electrician work starts at £90 an hour. The booking line answers at any time, so the job is taken and booked whenever you call.

Do you cover my part of Basingstoke?+

Yes across RG21 to RG24, including Chineham, Popley, Brighton Hill, Hatch Warren, South Ham and Old Basing. Outside the town we cover Oakley, Hook, Fleet, Tadley, Overton, Bramley, Whitchurch and Gosport.

What do the maintenance plans include?+
