Chaddesden is a large, established suburb on Derby's east side, and it's dominated by interwar and post-war semis, a lot of which still have wiring and consumer units that are well past their best. That makes rewires and fuse-board upgrades the bread and butter here, along with the RCD protection those older boards usually lack. There's also a good amount of rented property in Chaddesden, which is where landlord EICRs come in, the five-yearly safety check every rental legally needs. If you're a landlord or letting agent in the area, we'll turn the report around clearly and handle any remedial work that comes out of it.

Homes in Chaddesden
Chaddesden changed fast after the Wilmot family sold the Chaddesden Hall estate in 1918 and it was broken up into building plots. In 1930 Derby Corporation bought Roe Farm, which became its largest pre-war council estate, and the Wood Road estate around Rupert Road and Max Road followed from 1936. More council homes came after the war. Houses of this age were first wired in rubber cable, and most have been rewired since. The bits that get missed are lighting circuits with no earth and boards with no RCD.

Asked in Chaddesden
Can you add an earth to the lighting in my 1930s Chaddesden semi?
Old lighting circuits often have no earth wire, which matters if you want metal light fittings or new switches. In most cases the answer is to rewire the lighting circuit rather than add an earth on its own. We test first and tell you how much of the circuit needs replacing.
I let several houses on the Roe Farm estate. Can you do the EICRs together?
Yes. Booking them as a group makes sense when the houses are a few streets apart. Each property gets its own report, with any faults listed by code and priced separately, so you can see what is required by law and what is only advised.

Very efficient and reliable very pleased with work done.
Installed an electric charger a while back, did an amazing job, managed to get the exact charger we wanted (some others couldn’t) and genuinely made such a tidy job of it…
Fabulous service! Very polite and efficient. The job was completed to a high standard. Would recommend highly…
My spot lights in my bathroom had died and my linked smoke alarms needed replacing, Jack and James swooped down like international rescue and sorted the job professionally…
