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. ### 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. ### 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. ## Recent work in Old Basing Lately that has been fuse boards in village houses, sockets on Belle Vue Road, kitchen lighting, and inspections for lets in Lychpit. ## 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. ## Streets and areas we cover here Old Basing and Lychpit sit minutes from Chineham, Bramley and the middle of Basingstoke, so we often pair them in a day. ## Book Online Pick a slot, tell us which street you are on, and say what needs sorting. ## Business facts - Service area: Basingstoke, Kempshott, Hatch Warren, Brighton Hill, Chineham, Popley, Winklebury, Rooksdown, Old Basing, Oakley, Hook, Fleet, Tadley, Overton, Bramley, Whitchurch, Gosport - Hours: Every day 00:00–23:59 - Phone: +447307211625 - Email: team@jd-electricals.co.uk - Qualifications: Nvq level 3 electrical installation, City and guilds, 2009 ## Book Online - [Book Online](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/#chat): Send the job details and request a quote from JD Electricals. ## Sitemap - [Full sitemap](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/sitemap.md): Complete machine-readable page directory.
