Willington has a railway station, the Trent and Mersey Canal with its marina, and a bridge across the Trent to Repton. The village combines older properties near St Michael's church with plenty of newer housing. That makes for varied work, from careful board replacements and rewires to EV chargers on fresh driveways. Whichever it is, you are given the proper certificate once the work is complete.

Homes in Willington
Willington grew with the Trent and Mersey Canal in 1777 and the railway in 1836, and the canal-side part lies in the Trent and Mersey Canal Conservation Area. Trentside Cottage on Bargate Lane is the oldest cottage. The village has expanded since the 1980s, helped by the Toyota plant nearby, with estates such as Saxon Grove and Tailby Drive from the late 1980s. Houses of that age have PVC wiring that usually tests well. Their boards are now 35 years old and often lack RCDs on some circuits.

Asked in Willington
We're in a late-1980s house on Saxon Grove. What should we expect from the board?
Probably a plastic board with circuit breakers, and either no RCD or one covering only the sockets. The cable is usually fine. We test each circuit and, if the readings are good, fit a new consumer unit with RCD protection throughout. That is a one-day job in most houses.
Our cottage backs onto the canal in Willington. Can we have outside lights that suit the conservation area?
Yes. Low, warm-white fittings with shields usually sit well beside old brick and a canal. Check with South Derbyshire District Council before fixing anything to a wall that faces the towpath or the road. We'll suggest fittings and positions that keep the look quiet.

Very efficient and reliable very pleased with work done.
Installed an electric charger a while back, did an amazing job, managed to get the exact charger we wanted (some others couldn’t) and genuinely made such a tidy job of it…
Fabulous service! Very polite and efficient. The job was completed to a high standard. Would recommend highly…
My spot lights in my bathroom had died and my linked smoke alarms needed replacing, Jack and James swooped down like international rescue and sorted the job professionally…
