Working in Westbury-on-Trym
Westbury-on-Trym keeps the feel of the village it was, with Holy Trinity church and the National Trust's Westbury College Gatehouse at its centre, Canford Park to the north and Henleaze next door. Around the old core are Victorian and Edwardian villas, then streets of 1920s and 1930s semis and detached houses, and later bungalows and cul-de-sacs.
Many households have lived here for a long time, which is why we often meet installations that have been extended and added to over decades rather than renewed. More homes here have drives and bigger gardens than in the inner suburbs, so EV chargers and garden room supplies come up often too. Every job starts with a free look and a fixed price.
Westbury-on-Trym's older and larger homes
A larger house can hide a lot of history in its electrics: a sub-board added for an extension, a separate supply to a garage, lighting circuits from one era and sockets from another. Before quoting for anything significant we map what is there, because the right answer for a house that has grown over the years is rarely the one that suits a simple terrace.
An EICR is the tidy way to do that mapping. EICRs are priced by bedrooms: £300 + VAT for a four bedroom home, £350 + VAT for five, and from £400 + VAT for six or more, confirmed after a quick chat.
Rewiring around period features
In the Victorian and Edwardian villas the concern is always the plaster: cornices, ceiling roses and original lath and plaster ceilings. We plan a rewire from above wherever we can, lifting floorboards in the room over each ceiling, and agree with you in advance which walls can be chased and which cannot.
Chargers on the drive
A home charger needs a suitable supply, a board with room for another circuit and a sensible cable route to the parking space. We check all three before quoting, then fit a 7kW smart charger from £780 + VAT including the charger for runs up to 10 metres, £880 + VAT for 10 to 15 metres, and £980 + VAT for 15 to 20 metres.
Garden offices and workshops
A garden room needs more than an extension lead: an armoured cable at a safe depth, RCD protection, and on many supplies its own earthing arrangement, which we test for and decide on site. See our garage and garden room electrics page for how we approach it.
