Electrician in Oakley
JD Electricals provides EICRs, consumer unit replacement and house rewiring in Oakley near Basingstoke, serving RG postcode properties.
“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 Oakley
- Oakley sits just west of Basingstoke on RG23, and we are there most weeks for houses across the village.
- Extensions and loft rooms often sit on wiring that was never meant to carry them.
- Homes built between the sixties and eighties are on their original boards and sockets.
- Long runs from house to garage need cable sized and protected for the distance.
Oakley housing and what it asks for
- The village mixes long standing property with post war estate streets, and the two rarely need the same thing.
- Older houses here have gained kitchens, showers and loft rooms on top of early wiring.
- Through traffic and mixed ages of housing sit along the same stretch.
- Estate homes with knocked through kitchens and ageing sockets are the everyday work.
Other electrical work in Oakley
The village also books charge points, garage supplies, oven connections, downlights, inspections and appliance testing.
What happens on the day
An Oakley visit is done in three parts, in this order.
- 01
Board first, rooms second
We open the consumer unit, look at the earthing arrangement and the main bonding to the water and gas, then check how full the board is. In a house that has grown by extension that tells us straight away whether the job you asked for can simply be added or whether the board has to be dealt with first. You get that answer before we start, not halfway through.
- 02
Running and fitting
Cable goes in along the route we agreed, clipped and supported properly, with any run to a garage or outbuilding buried or protected as it should be. We isolate one circuit at a time so the house keeps working around us. Where a wall has to be chased we keep it shallow and make good afterwards, and we use existing routes wherever an old cable is being replaced.
- 03
Testing and paperwork
Everything we installed gets tested before it is used: insulation, continuity, earth loop and the trip time on the protective device. The readings go on the certificate for your Oakley address. Then we show you the work, hand over the paperwork and clear up. If the visit turned up something else worth doing, you get it as a written price and not as pressure.

Questions from Oakley customers
What villagers ask us before booking.
We are converting the loft, does the board need changing?+
Often, yes. A loft room adds lighting, sockets and sometimes heating to a board that was sized for a smaller house, and it needs its own protection. We look at what is free at the board and tell you whether an addition is safe or whether a replacement consumer unit, from £650, has to come first.
Can you get power to a detached garage?+
Yes. It needs its own circuit from the house, armoured cable buried at the right depth or clipped along a safe route, and its own small board at the far end so the garage can be isolated. The price depends mostly on the distance and the ground, so we measure and quote before committing to a figure.
Our estate house still has the original sockets, is that a problem?+
Worn sockets are not dangerous by themselves, but scorched pins, loose plugs and warm faceplates are. On sixties to eighties houses we look at the accessories, the ring and the board together, because the same age often shows in all three. Replacing sockets is straightforward; replacing them to hide a tired circuit is not the answer.
Do I need an inspection to let a cottage?+
Yes. A rented home needs a current electrical installation condition report, and older village cottages usually turn up a few coded items. An EICR starts from £150. We explain the codes in plain English and quote any remedial work separately so you can decide what to do.
The lights dim when the shower runs, what is happening?+
That is usually voltage drop from a heavy load on a supply or a cable that is undersized for the shower. It can also point to a poor connection at the board. It is worth investigating rather than living with. Fault finding is from £75 per hour and an electric shower installed on its own correctly sized circuit starts from £220.
Can you fit a satellite dish supply on an outbuilding?+
Yes. A dish or an outdoor unit should be fed from a known circuit with proper protection, not a socket left on a garden extension lead. Domestic installation starts from £350 and a commercial unit or yard office starts from £550. Where the addition needs one, a minor works certificate from £95 comes with it.
