Electrician in Old Basing
JD Electricals handles EICRs, rewiring, consumer unit replacements and EV charger installations for local customers throughout Old Basing and Lychpit.
“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 Old Basing and Lychpit
- JD Electricals remains responsible for the work, and we do the electrical work for homes in Old Basing and Lychpit ourselves.
- Thick walls and shallow cupboards mean every cable run gets planned before anything is opened up.
- Loft hatches and tidy cupboards on Crabtree Way make board changes and extra sockets a quick visit.
- Landlords book an EICR, the electrical installation condition report, before a new tenant moves in.
Housing in Old Basing and what it means for the wiring
- The village mixes timber and brick property with later estate streets, and the two ask for different methods.
- Lime plaster and old timber take shallow chasing only, so we drop cable down from the loft instead.
- Ground floors on these houses can still hide rubber cable under the boards.
- Family houses keep gaining sockets, dimmers and alarm heads as rooms change use.
Other electrical work in Old Basing
Houses in the village also ask for rewiring, downlights, charge points, extractor fans and appliance testing.
What happens on the day
A booked visit in Old Basing runs in the same order from the front door to the paperwork.
- 01
Arrival and a look at the fuse board
We turn up at the time we set, say hello, and ask to see the fuse board, the meter and the earth connection. In a village house that can mean a cupboard under the stairs, an outhouse or a hallway box, so we want eyes on it before anything else. Then we walk the rooms the job touches and we tell you how long the power needs to be off.
- 02
The work itself
We isolate one circuit at a time so the fridge and the router stay on where that is possible. Floorboards come up only along the run we mapped, dust sheets go down, and lifted boards go back the same day. If we open something up and find old cable or a joint that changes the price, we stop and tell you the new figure in writing before we carry on.
- 03
Testing and the certificate
Every circuit we touched gets tested and the results written down. You get the certificate for the work, whether that is a minor works certificate for a single circuit or a full installation certificate for a board or a rewire. We show you what changed at the board, label the ways, take our rubbish with us and leave the house as we found it.
Why customers in Old Basing book us
You get clear company responsibility throughout from the first phone call to the last signature, a written figure before any work starts, and the certificate handed over on the day.

Questions from Old Basing customers
These come up most often on the phone before a booking.
Can you rewire a listed house in Old Basing?+
Yes, once consent is in place for anything that affects historic fabric. We plan the runs so cable follows lofts, voids and existing chases rather than new channels through old plaster, and we show you where each cable will go before a single board comes up. A full house rewire starts from £4,800.
My fuse board is the old type with fuse wire, does it have to go?+
Not on the day you ask, but a board with rewirable fuses does not cut the supply as fast as a modern one when a cable is damaged. A replacement consumer unit starts from £650 and brings residual current protection and spare ways for later circuits. We tell you what your board actually is before you decide.
Will you have to lift my floors?+
Only along the route the new cable takes, and only where a loft drop or an existing void will not do. In houses on The Street we plan that route with you first so carpets and boards come up once. Anything we lift goes back the same day.
How quickly can you come out if the power goes off?+
Urgent attendance is charged from £90 per hour and we fit it around booked work as best we can. Before you call, check whether the whole street is dark, because that is the network rather than your wiring. If it is your board, we find the circuit at fault and make it safe first.
Do I need an inspection before I rent out a house in Lychpit?+
Yes. Rented homes need a current electrical installation condition report, and that is the document a tenant or an agent will ask you for. An EICR starts from £150 for a domestic address. It lists every circuit with a code, so you can see what has to be fixed and what is only worth improving.
Can you add sockets without redecorating the whole room?+
Usually. Most extra sockets go in from below, from the loft or off a nearby point, so the damage is limited to one patch. Extra sockets start from £85. If the wall is solid and the run would be ugly, we will say so and offer a different position rather than leave you with trunking you did not want.
Do I get anything in writing for a small job?+
Yes. A single new circuit or an alteration leaves you with a minor works certificate, from £95, naming what was done and the test results. Larger work gets a full installation certificate. Nothing gets done on a handshake and nothing gets billed above the figure you agreed.
