Findern is centred on its village green and All Saints church, with the Trent and Mersey Canal running just to the south and Derby's southern estates only a field or two away. Its housing is a mix of older cottages around the green and post-war and modern family homes. We replace older consumer units, rewire where needed and install chargers and outdoor lighting, and nothing is handed over until it has passed its tests.

Homes in Findern
Findern has a village green with a group of black-and-white painted 19th-century cottages around it, including The Old Forge. Many belonged to a weaving trade that peaked in 1846, when there were 22 velvet and silk looms, one in each house. Older houses include Somerville House from the mid-1700s and Wallfield House of 1822, and the Tower House is a windmill dating from 1715. Mains water only arrived in 1931. Old cottages like these were wired long after they were built, so cable routes are often surface-run or squeezed into shallow voids.

Asked in Findern
Our cottage on Findern green has painted brick outside. Can a rewire avoid marking the outside walls?
Yes. We run everything inside: under floors, through the loft and down inside walls. Nothing needs to be fixed to the painted brick. The only outside work would be something you ask for, such as a light or socket, and we'd agree its position with you first.
There's an old storage heater in our Findern hall. Can you take it out and make it safe?
Yes. We disconnect the heater at the board and remove or cap the circuit so nothing is left live. Storage heaters often run off a separate off-peak supply. If yours did, check with your energy supplier whether your tariff and meter still suit you once it has gone.

Josh and his team have done a brilliant job installing electrics into our summer house and we are really pleased with their work. The work was done to an extremely high standard and they worked really hard all day in sweltering heat. They were also very professional. We would 100% recommend them.
Josh has been world class from the start. Clear communication, amazing worth ethic to stay on schedule (lads even working on Saturday), trustworthy, reliable, and very detailed. He was happy to respond rapidly to specific technical requests and last minute changes in spec. His flexibility is what set's him apart for me. We had multiple phases to the job, and he was happy to work along with my schedule, and honour prices as agreed. Whenever I have any electrical questions, I send for Josh. Thanks so much for the great work guys!
Josh and James from JJS Electrical Solutions did a full rewire of our house and we honestly couldn’t fault them. They were friendly, easy to deal with, and explained everything clearly along the way. They turned up when they said they would, worked really hard, and the standard of their work was spot on. Even with a big job like a full rewire, they kept disruption to a minimum and always cleaned up after themselves. Really happy with the end result and would definitely recommend Josh and James to anyone needing electrical work done.
Josh installed a new consumer unit and my EV charger. He turned up on time, explained everything clearly and worked neatly. The wiring is tidy, the charger works perfectly and he issued all certificates promptly. Fair price and great communication throughout and I highly recommend him.
