Expert Shepshed Electricians

Older cottages often have thick walls, limited cabling routes and wiring that’s been added to over decades, so work needs a careful, considered approach. Shepshed has plenty of these characterful homes, and the aim is always to improve safety and capacity without disturbing the fabric of the building more than necessary.

Yes, with thought. Discreet fittings, careful cable routing and sympathetic positioning let you improve lighting while keeping original beams, brickwork and features intact. It takes a bit more planning than a modern home, but it’s very achievable in the older properties around Shepshed.

If only some rooms lose power, it’s usually a tripped circuit or a fault rather than a supply issue. Check the consumer unit to see whether a breaker has tripped, and avoid repeatedly resetting it if it won’t stay on. If it keeps happening, it needs tracing properly.

We do, and it’s best to involve us early. Planning circuits, lighting and sockets while the structure is open makes for a neater, better result. From first fix to final testing, we can handle the electrical side of extensions and renovations throughout Shepshed and the surrounding villages.

Often, yes. Targeted improvements — upgrading the consumer unit, sorting earthing, or replacing specific problem circuits — can make a big difference without the upheaval of a complete rewire. An inspection shows what’s genuinely necessary, so you’re not spending on work the property doesn’t need.

You should receive a certificate for the work carried out, and for notifiable jobs, confirmation it’s been registered under Part P. Keep these safe — they’re useful for insurance and invaluable if you sell. We provide the correct paperwork for every job we complete.
