Electrician services from JD Electricals

Electrician in Overton

JD Electricals carries out EICRs, fault diagnosis, consumer unit replacements and house rewiring for homeowners, landlords and buyers in Overton.

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 Overton

  • Overton work comes to us from cottages, later houses and newer infill, often within one street of each other.
  • Walls that will not take a chase mean cable goes overhead or behind neat surface trunking.
  • Rewirable fuse boxes under the stairs are still common on this stretch.
  • Older masonry and poor ventilation show up as corroded connections and struggling fans.

Overton housing and the work it brings

  • Village stock here spans many decades, so no two jobs on the same road need the same approach.
  • Living space sits behind shop fronts, and finishes there matter as much as the wiring.
  • Short meter tails and tired earthing turn up whenever one of those cupboards is opened.
  • Bathrooms near the water need a fan on its own supply rather than a share of the light.

What happens on the day

An Overton booking runs from the doorstep to the paperwork in three stages.

  1. 01

    Looking before touching

    We start at the consumer unit and the meter, then walk to where the work is going. In a solid wall cottage that walk decides everything, because it tells us whether a cable can go through a void, along a skirting or up into the roof. We will show you the route we want to take and agree it with you before we lift a tool, so nothing appears on a wall you did not expect.

  2. 02

    Doing the work

    Power comes off circuit by circuit rather than all at once, so a kettle and a boiler keep working where they can. Fittings go in level and square, cable is clipped properly rather than left loose in a void, and holes get made good. Older buildings hide surprises, so if we find a junction buried in a ceiling or a cable feeding two rooms off one fuse, you hear about it with a price attached.

  3. 03

    Test, sign, leave

    The circuits we worked on are tested for continuity, insulation and correct polarity, and the residual current device gets its trip time checked. Readings go on the certificate with your Overton address. We fold the sheets down, sweep up, and take the old fittings away. Then we run through what we did, in plain words, standing at the board with you.

Questions from Overton customers

What villagers ask before a date goes in the diary.

My walls are solid, where will the cable go?+

Overhead through the loft, under the floor, or in slim surface trunking painted to match, depending on the room. Solid wall property does not take deep chases well, and forcing one weakens the wall and makes a mess of the finish. We show you the options and you choose before anything is cut.

Is the old fuse box under my stairs dangerous?+

Not automatically, but a rewirable board gives you no residual current protection, so a damaged cable or a nicked flex will not disconnect quickly. A replacement consumer unit starts from £650. If your tails or earthing are also poor, that is part of the same job and we say so in the quote rather than finding it on the day.

Why does my bathroom fan keep failing?+

Usually because it was spurred off the lighting and runs only while the light is on, so damp air never fully clears. Near Bridge Street that shows up as mould and corroded terminals. A fan installation starts from £180 and we put it on a proper supply with an overrun timer where the wiring allows it.

Can I have a charge point at a house with a long drive?+

Yes, the distance mostly affects the cable size and the labour. We measure the run from the board to where you park, work out the right cable, and price it before you commit. A home charge point starts from £750 and a long run or a trench adds to that figure.

Do you take on a whole house at once?+

We do, and in an occupied house we work room by room so you keep power somewhere every night. A full domestic rewire starts from £4,800 and a kitchen on its own starts from £1,600. We give you a written order of work so you know which rooms are out of use and when.

How do I know what my wiring is like before I spend money?+

Get it inspected first. An EICR, an inspection of the whole installation with a written report, starts from £150 and tells you which circuits are sound, which need attention and which are unsafe. It stops you spending on a new kitchen only to find the supply behind it cannot carry the load.
