Windsor asks more of an electrician than most towns. The Inner Windsor conservation area alone contains 177 individually listed dwellings, and you cannot wire those the way you would wire a 1980s semi.

Windsor, Berkshire
The Inner Windsor conservation area was designated in 1990 and holds 177 individually listed properties across 36 list entries, all Grade II. The Georgian terraces — Brunswick Terrace, Adelaide Terrace, York Place, Adelaide Square — are lime-rendered and stuccoed with original sash windows, and the Prince Consort Cottages of 1855 were built experimentally with hollow bricks, which is not a wall you go chasing into. Historic England's guidance on this is clear and we follow it: route through floor and ceiling voids, use existing mouldings and balustrades where a run has to be visible, and avoid recessing accessories into historically important surfaces. Listed building consent is not automatically required for electrical work, but the way the work is done matters, and doing it badly is how people end up in trouble. Away from the centre the picture changes completely. Dedworth and Clewer are largely post-war and post-1960 — Broom Farm, the Laing Estate, Illingworth, Perrycroft — all built before RCDs existed, so consumer unit upgrades rather than rewires. The post-war flatted estates at Ward Royal, Longbourn and Winwood bring their own constraints, with communal supplies and limited routing through system-built structures. And at the other end of the timeline, Windsor Arch off Dedworth Road is 320 homes with air source heat pumps, solar PV and no gas at all, which means higher loads per dwelling and a different set of problems again.
What we do in Windsor
Older properties with rubber or fabric-insulated cable, undersized circuits or a board that keeps tripping. We plan the circuits accordingly and cover everything from first fix through to second fix, testing and certification.
Replacing older units that have no RCD protection with an 18th Edition metal-clad consumer unit, RCBO protection on every circuit, and full earthing and bonding brought up to standard. Most are done inside a day.
Bespoke lighting solutions to suit any room, shape or size, designed around what you actually want from the space. From hanging a simple ceiling rose to bespoke LED strip lighting with smart switching.
First and second fix covered in collaboration with all other trades, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish and an exceptional installation throughout.
We self-certify all of our own work, from minor works right through to full Electrical Installation Certificates on fuse board upgrades and new installations.
Something tripping and nobody can explain why? We'll trace it and tell you what it actually is. Speak to our electrician about our current hourly rate for fault finds.
Lighting a garden properly, and getting a real supply out to a shed, garden office or outbuilding. Buried armoured cable, its own protection at the board, and certification on completion.
