Aston-on-Trent is a village south-east of Derby with the medieval All Saints church at its centre and the Trent and Mersey Canal running along its edge. The old village has cottages and larger Georgian and Victorian houses, and newer housing has been built around it. That means our work ranges from careful rewiring in older homes to car chargers and garden room supplies for newer ones.

Homes in Aston-on-Trent
Aston-on-Trent's conservation area, designated in 1979, is dominated by brick. There is 17th-century brickwork at 16 The Green and on Weston Road, rows of terraced cottages and old farm buildings. Aston Hall became a hospital after 1924 and was converted into flats and offices in the 1990s, with new houses on Aston Hall Drive. The site of Aston Lodge, pulled down in the 1930s, is now the Lodge Estate, Shirley Park and Park View, and Manor Farm Road is largely chalet bungalows. Rooms in the roof bring their own cable routes, through the eaves and around insulation.

Asked in Aston-on-Trent
We have a chalet bungalow on Manor Farm Road. Can you add sockets and lights in the rooms upstairs?
Yes. In a chalet bungalow the cables usually run through the eaves voids behind the sloping walls. Insulation there affects how much current a cable can carry, so we size it to suit. We check the board first, as upstairs rooms are often on the same circuits as downstairs.
The garage on our Lodge Estate house runs off the house fuse box. Is that safe?
It can be, if it was done properly. We check the cable size, how it gets to the garage, and whether it has RCD protection. A garage fed by an extension lead or a cable clipped along a fence is a common fault. We'll tell you if it needs replacing.
