Repton was once a royal centre of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, and St Wystan's church still has its Saxon crypt. Today the village is shaped by Repton School, its market cross and streets of handsome brick and stone houses, many of them centuries old. Electrical work in buildings like these calls for patience, from routing cables without damaging historic fabric to choosing fittings that suit the house. We rewire, upgrade boards and install lighting, and certify everything we do.

Homes in Repton
Repton's conservation area, designated in 1969, covers the historic core. There are 5 timber-framed houses surviving from the late 1500s to late 1600s, and thatched cottages on Willington Road. Much of the High Street and Main Street is 19th-century terraced cottages in short rows of 3 or 4, with some Edwardian terraces too. St Wystan's Church is Grade I listed. In timber-framed and thatched homes, cable routes have to avoid the frame and keep well clear of the thatch. Recessed downlights under a thatched roof are best avoided.

Asked in Repton
Our cottage on Willington Road in Repton is thatched. What extra care does the wiring need?
Keep cables and fittings away from the thatch, avoid recessed downlights in the ceiling below it, and use fittings that run cool. Junction boxes in the loft should be sealed and accessible. Some insurers ask for a recent EICR on thatched homes, so check your policy.
How do you rewire a timber-framed house in Repton without cutting into the frame?
We use the voids that are already there, under floors and between joists, and run cables alongside timbers rather than through them. Where there's no hidden route, slim surface mouldings are kinder to the frame than notching it. We agree every route with you before starting.

Knowledgeable, diligent and friendly. Josh did a great job fitting a new light for me and kept me informed of what he was doing and what was required. Thank you, very happy with the service.
We recently bought a house that needs renovating. Josh is fantastic, an honest and reliable electrician whom we will be using on many occasions while we finish the house.
I contacted Josh from a local magazine initially to put a new light in and then to have all my light switches replaced. Josh has been professional, polite, on time and respectful on both visits…
I spoke to somebody on the phone and they were great at providing me with information and really helpful. I then booked in with them the next day to fix a tumble dryer plug and they came out within 4 hours and were extremely fast and very friendly. Thankyou for all your help. Great price too
