Electrician services from JD Electricals

Electrician in Bramley

JD Electricals completes consumer unit replacements, EICRs and EV charger installations for homeowners and landlords in Bramley, Hampshire and RG26.

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 Bramley

  • This is Bramley in Hampshire, RG26, on the line between Reading and Basingstoke, and we cover the whole village.
  • Older village houses still run mixed wiring behind boards that have had their day.
  • Boards there are already modern, so the work is nearly always adding to them.
  • These roads run out toward the next villages with older houses and later infill together.

Bramley streets and the housing on them

  • Two kinds of housing sit side by side in this village, and each brings its own list of jobs.
  • Cottages and older houses where an inspection usually comes before anything else.
  • Modern boards with spare ways make downlights, sockets and charge points a straightforward addition.
  • Family homes and rented houses share these streets in roughly equal measure.

What happens on the day

Whatever we are booked for in Bramley, the day runs like this.

  1. 01

    Getting started

    We arrive at the agreed time, which for commuter households often means early or late in the day, and we say up front how long we need. Then we find the board and the meter and confirm the job matches what we quoted. If something has changed since we spoke, that is the moment to sort it out, before the tools come off the van rather than after.

  2. 02

    Carrying out the work

    On a newer estate house that usually means adding a circuit to a board that has room, testing what is already there first so we are not building on a fault. In an older cottage it means opening up carefully and expecting the unexpected. Either way, only the circuit we are working on goes off, dust sheets go down, and we put back whatever we have to lift.

  3. 03

    Finishing and signing off

    The new work is tested, the readings recorded, and the certificate written out for your address before we leave. We show you where the new way sits at the board and what the switch positions do. Rubbish goes with us. If we noticed something worth doing next, you get it as a written price you can take or leave.

Why Bramley customers call us back

The date holds, the price is written down first, and JD Electricals does the work and signs the certificate.

Questions from Bramley customers

The questions we get asked in this village.

Can you come before or after work?+

We can usually manage an early start or a late finish for a short job, and we say so when we set the date rather than promising it and missing. Anything longer needs a full day in the house. Booked work sits in our opening hours, and genuine emergency attendance is from £90 per hour at any time.

Our estate house is new, do we need anything doing at all?+

Not usually, beyond what you want adding. Newer boards on the Minchens Lane and Cufaude Lane estates are already up to date, so the work is downlights, extra sockets or a charge point. We still test the board before adding to it, because a new looking board can still be badly loaded or missing a connection.

What is involved in replacing a cottage fuse board?+

The supply is isolated, the old board comes off, the new consumer unit goes on, and every circuit is tested and reconnected one at a time. Poor earthing or short tails are dealt with as part of the same job. It starts from £650, takes most of a day, and finishes with a full installation certificate.

Do you charge to come and look?+

For a job we can price from a description and a couple of photographs, no. For a fault, the visit is the work, so it is charged from £75 per hour because finding the cause is the difficult part. We tell you which of the two applies when you call, so nothing on the invoice is a surprise.

How many sockets should a room have?+

More than the room has now, in most houses. Bedrooms used for work and living rooms with a television, a console and chargers run out fast, and the answer is extra points rather than a nest of adaptors. Sockets start from £85 and we would rather fit two in the right place than one in the wrong one.

Where should linked alarms go?+

On escape routes: the hallway, each landing, and a heat alarm in the kitchen. Linked units all sound together, so the family hears an alarm wherever it started. Installation starts from £110. We place them for the layout of your house rather than one per floor as a rule of thumb.
