Electrician in Whitchurch
JD Electricals completes EICRs, consumer unit work, fault diagnosis and house rewiring for homeowners and landlords throughout Whitchurch.
“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 Whitchurch
- Whitchurch homes are mostly period property that has been altered room by room, and the wiring shows it.
- Boards sit in stair cupboards and damp outhouses, so bonding gets checked with every job.
- Two or three generations of lighting and power often share the same walls.
- New cable goes around original joinery and ceiling roses instead of through them.
Layered wiring in Whitchurch houses
- Wiring in this town went in over generations rather than in one go, which changes how we test and price a job.
- A modern room can sit next door to old cable colours and a junction hidden in the loft.
- Additions were often spurred off whatever circuit was nearest instead of being tied in properly.
- Cable follows existing voids so frontages and original plaster stay untouched.
Other electrical work in Whitchurch
Period houses want alarms fitting, kitchens rewiring, faults tracing, showers connecting and tired boards replacing.
What happens on the day
Here is the order a Whitchurch visit runs in.
- 01
Working out what is there
In a house that has been altered over many years, the first job is finding out which circuit feeds what. We open the board, identify the ways, and check them against the rooms rather than trusting the labels, which are often years out of date. That half hour saves hours later and it means we can tell you exactly which sockets and lights will be off while we work.
- 02
The work, room by room
We take one area at a time so the rest of the house stays live and you can carry on. Original joinery, ceiling roses and panelled doors get worked around rather than through, and where a cable cannot be hidden we ask you where you want it before it goes up. Anything we find behind a wall that changes the price stops the job until you have the new figure.
- 03
Tests, certificate, tidy up
The circuits we touched get tested and the readings recorded on the certificate for your address. Old fittings, cable offcuts and packaging leave in the van. Before we go we walk you round what changed, show you the board with its ways labelled properly, and tell you plainly if anything else in the house should be looked at sooner rather than later.

Questions from Whitchurch customers
The questions that come up before a job is booked in this town.
Why does one room in my house have modern wiring and another not?+
Because the house was wired in stages. A kitchen or an extension was done properly at the time, while the bedrooms kept whatever was there. It matters because a single old spur can take down a board that otherwise looks fine, and because the newest cable in the house tells you nothing about the oldest.
What does an inspection cover?+
An EICR, an electrical installation condition report, looks at the whole installation: the board, the earthing and bonding, every circuit we can reach, sockets, lights and fixed appliances. It starts from £150 and ends with a written result of satisfactory or unsatisfactory plus a coded list of anything wrong. It is the honest starting point in a house like these.
Can you fit downlights without wrecking the ceiling?+
In most cases, yes, though a lath and plaster ceiling needs more care and sometimes a different fitting. We check what the ceiling is made of before quoting. Lighting is priced per fitting from £65, and we would rather talk you out of a grid of downlights in a low period room than fit something that looks wrong.
My breaker trips when it rains, what causes that?+
Water finding its way into an outside light, an outbuilding supply or a buried joint, which is common on the Test Road side of town. Fault finding is from £75 per hour and starts with isolating circuits to narrow it down rather than replacing parts and hoping. Once found, we quote the repair before doing it.
Do I have to move out for a rewire?+
No. We work through an occupied house in sections so you keep a kitchen and a bedroom live each night. It takes a bit longer that way and there is dust, but most people stay put. A full rewire starts from £4,800 and we give you the room order in writing before the first floorboard comes up.
Are my smoke alarms good enough?+
Battery units in a house with several floors usually are not, because they do not talk to each other. Linked mains alarms sound together, so an alarm in the kitchen wakes someone upstairs. Installation starts from £110 and we fit them where the layout needs them rather than one per landing as a default.
Can you test the equipment in my shop?+
Yes. PAT testing, portable appliance testing of anything with a plug, starts from £95 and covers tills, kettles, fridges, lamps and tools. You get a list of what passed, what failed and why. It is a separate job from the fixed wiring, so the two prices stay separate on your quote.
