“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.”

How much does fault finding cost in Rooksdown?
The fault finding quote follows the electrical problem and the repair required. We test the affected circuit before explaining the work needed. Additional sockets are quoted as separate installation work.
Do you replace fuse boards in Rooksdown?
JD Electricals offers consumer unit replacement in Rooksdown. The old fuse board is disconnected, the circuits are connected to the new unit and the installation is tested.
Can you add a socket after you find the fault?
Yes, we install additional sockets. We check the existing circuit and consumer unit before quoting, so the socket is supplied by a suitable circuit rather than assuming a spare position in the board makes every installation the same.
What if I live in a converted Park Prewett building?
We check how the property is supplied before tracing the affected circuit. That gives us a clear starting point for the electrical tests. Once the fault is identified, we explain the repair and its price.
