Homes in Littleover

Littleover's old village sits around St Peter's Church, The Hollow and Church Street, where the thatched Littleover Cottage and the White House survive. Suburban building was well under way by the early 1930s, and housing kept spreading for decades after. More recent homes include the development on the site of the Crest Hotel. A house built in the 1930s will have had rubber cable first, and most have been rewired since. That later wiring is often still sound, but the board fitted with it rarely has the RCD protection expected now.

Covering Littleover and nearby

We cover all of Littleover, including Heatherton and Sunnyhill, across DE23. In the older houses we test before recommending anything, because a second rewire is often not needed. On newer streets we check the spare ways in the board before pricing a charger or a garden room, so the quote matches the job.
