Quarndon sits high above the Derwent valley, known for its old chalybeate spa well and for the Kedleston estate next door. Homes range from older cottages to large detached houses on generous plots, many extended over the years. That usually means a main board plus separate supplies to garages, studios or garden buildings. We work out what is there, put right anything unsafe and design new circuits so they are easy to maintain.

Homes in Quarndon
Quarndon was described in 1848 as a scattered village with some very neat modern houses, and it is still spread out. Its conservation area was designated in 1994. Listed buildings include Hall Cottages and The Grange from the late 1700s, the chalybeate well house, and the Kedleston Hotel, designed by Robert Adam. Henry Royce lived at Quarndon House from 1908 to 1911. Most homes are owner-occupied. Big plots mean outbuildings, garages and annexes on their own sub-mains, some of them added long ago.

Covering Quarndon and nearby

Asked in Quarndon
Our Quarndon house has an annexe on a separate supply. Do you test that too?
Yes. An annexe on a sub-main has its own cable from the house and often its own board. We test both ends and check the cable is big enough for the load. Older sub-mains are a common weak spot, especially where the annexe has been extended since.
Can you light our long drive in Quarndon without the lights looking out of place?
Yes. Low bollards or small post lights along the edge keep the light on the ground and away from neighbours. On a long drive we size the cable to avoid voltage drop and put the lights on a timer or sensor. We'll suggest a layout before quoting.
