Morley is a scattered village of farms, cottages and larger houses set around St Matthew's church, which is known for its medieval stained glass. It is only a few miles from Chaddesden yet feels properly rural, and where a property relies on electric heating rather than mains gas, sound wiring matters even more. We rewire, replace old boards and run safe supplies to outbuildings, then test and certify the finished work.

Homes in Morley
Morley's conservation area dates from 1978. Its oldest homes include the Morley Almshouses, a single-storey row of 6 built in 1656 in coursed gritstone. Near Morley Hall the old tithe barn and dovecote have been converted. Much of the parish is farmland, with farmhouses and cottages spread out between the fields. In rural homes the house is only part of the job. Barns, stables and workshops often run off long cables that were added years ago, and those need checking as carefully as the house.

Asked in Morley
Our Morley farmhouse has a workshop fed by an old cable across the yard. Should we be worried?
It is worth checking. Old outbuilding supplies are often undersized, unprotected or buried too shallow. We test the cable, check how it is protected at both ends, and tell you if it needs replacing. A properly sized armoured cable and a small board in the workshop is the usual fix.
We've converted a barn into a holiday let near Morley. What electrical checks does it need?
There's no single legal schedule for holiday lets in the way there is for long-term rentals, but an EICR is the clearest way to show the wiring is safe if your insurer or a guest asks. We'd also check smoke and heat alarms are suitable.
