Sinfin sits on Derby's southern edge, with Rolls-Royce and other big employers close by. Most houses date from after the war, with newer streets on the Stenson Fields side. In the older homes the work is mainly board upgrades and EICRs, often for landlords who need a current report. On the newer streets people tend to want an EV charger, or extra circuits for a home office or garden room. Each job starts with a proper look at what is already there.

Homes in Sinfin
Sinfin was a separate village before parts of it joined the borough in 1934, and more followed in 1968, which started a rapid housing expansion. So most homes here are post-war, unlike the inter-war houses of neighbouring Osmaston. The newer part, mainly modern housing, blends into Stenson Fields, and the site of a wartime ordnance depot is now mostly built over. Homes from the late 1960s and 70s were wired in PVC that often still tests well. Their boards usually had rewireable or cartridge fuses and no RCD.

Asked in Sinfin
Our Sinfin house was built in the 1970s. What kind of wiring will it have?
Almost certainly PVC twin and earth, the grey or white cable still used today. It is usually in reasonable shape after 50 years. The original board is the likely weak point, often with rewireable fuses and no RCD. An EICR confirms both and tells you whether a board change is enough.
Can you test my Sinfin rental while the tenants are living there?
Yes. We switch circuits off one at a time for short spells, so the house is never without power for long. We need access to every room and the board. Most landlords let the tenants know the date and we work around them on the day.

An EICR check carried out for us by Josh was prompt and efficient, his communication was excellent and his price was fair, will definitely use him again.
JJS came to the rescue this evening for a lovely elderly couple that needed a little extra help. Josh came along and made sure everything was safe and gave them reassurance they needed.
Really impressed with Josh. I arranged to get a quote for a new consumer unit and he turned up on time to do this and it was sent quickly. Once I approved the quote which was very reasonable he spent most of the day installing it…
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.
