Alvaston sits on the south-east side of Derby along London Road, with older terraces and inter-war semis near the main road and newer housing further out. Wiring in the older terraces has often been added to over the years, so in Alvaston we are regularly asked to inspect it, put it right and rewire where needed. With Pride Park and the Raynesway business parks close by, we also look after shops, units and offices. Homes or business premises, we quote in writing and certify everything we do.

Homes in Alvaston
Alvaston has almost every era of Derby housing in one place. There are streets of Victorian terraces in Crewton and a small cluster in Wilmorton, large Edwardian villas running out from the old village centre, 1930s semis, a big spread of post-war council housing, and a maze of 1970s and 80s culs-de-sac on Stocker Flat. The terraces and villas are the ones most likely to have old lighting circuits with no earth. The Stocker Flat houses usually have sound PVC wiring but a first-generation board that is now 40 years old.

Covering Alvaston and nearby
We cover Alvaston, Crewton, Boulton and the DE24 postcode. In the terraces off London Road we often find extensions and loft rooms added to the original circuits, so an EICR is a sensible first step before any new work. For shops and units we can inspect and test outside opening hours, and we give landlords and business owners the certificates they need for insurers and letting agents.
Asked in Alvaston
Can you rewire an Edwardian house in Alvaston without wrecking the cornices?
Yes, in most cases. We route cables under the floorboards and through the voids above ceilings wherever we can, and only chase walls where there is no other way. Cornices and ceiling roses can usually be left alone. We walk the house with you first and agree the routes before work starts.
Our Stocker Flat house is from the 1980s. What is likely to need changing?
Often just the board. Houses of that age usually have PVC cable that still tests well, but the original consumer unit tends to lack RCDs. We test every circuit before recommending anything. If the readings are good, you get a modern board and a certificate, and the rest of the wiring stays.

Knowledgeable, diligent and friendly. Josh did a great job fitting a new light for me and kept me informed of what he was doing and what was required. Thank you, very happy with the service.
We recently bought a house that needs renovating. Josh is fantastic, an honest and reliable electrician whom we will be using on many occasions while we finish the house.
I contacted Josh from a local magazine initially to put a new light in and then to have all my light switches replaced. Josh has been professional, polite, on time and respectful on both visits…
I spoke to somebody on the phone and they were great at providing me with information and really helpful. I then booked in with them the next day to fix a tumble dryer plug and they came out within 4 hours and were extremely fast and very friendly. Thankyou for all your help. Great price too
