Electrician in Bedford

• Victorian and Edwardian housing around Castle Road, De Parys, Queens Park and Black Tom often has wiring replaced in stages over the decades. Typical findings are mixed old and new cable, missing RCD protection and inadequate main bonding.
• Mid-century and 1970s housing in Kempston, Brickhill and Putnoe often has original or early consumer units and plenty of later DIY additions.
• New communities at Wixams, Great Denham, Biddenham and Shortstown have modern installations. Work there is mostly additions, outdoor power and lighting, and EICRs for buy-to-let owners.

Bedford Borough Council runs an additional HMO licensing scheme covering the whole borough, in force until May 2028. Smaller shared houses need a licence as well as the larger HMOs covered by mandatory licensing. Licensing inspections look closely at electrical safety, fire safety and supplied appliances, so a current satisfactory EICR and PAT records make the process far smoother.

We can book tenant access, test everything in one visit and send the report and any repair quote straight to you and your agent. See landlord certificates for the full legal requirements.

Bedford's town centre is full of independent shops, restaurants, takeaways, salons and barbers, all busy premises where electrics take a lot of wear. We carry out commercial EICRs and PAT testing at times that suit you, including before opening and on Sundays, and we fix what we find.

We cover Bedford and Kempston and the surrounding villages, including Biddenham, Bromham, Clapham, Wixams, Elstow, Shortstown, Cardington, Great Barford, Wootton and Kempston Hardwick. If you're between Bedford and Milton Keynes, around Cranfield or Marston Moretaine, we cover you too.
