Electrician in Hertford
Certified electrical work for the county town, from EICRs on Georgian townhouses to fuse board upgrades, extra sockets and round-the-clock fault response.
Looking after Hertford's older buildings
Hertford's centre has kept its Georgian and Victorian character, and behind those handsome frontages we regularly find wiring that has been extended, patched and pushed well past its intended life.
Common finds include rewirable fuse boxes, missing RCD protection and earthing that no longer meets current standards. Partial and full rewires, consumer unit replacements and pre-purchase inspections make up much of our workload in SG13 and SG14, alongside lighting upgrades that suit period interiors.
The A602 puts us in Hertford about twenty minutes after leaving Stevenage, so surveys, quotes and smaller repairs are easy to slot in within a few days of your call.
Out of hours, faults do not wait, and neither do we: the 24/7 emergency electrician service covers Hertford every night, weekend and bank holiday.

Electrical services in Hertford
Households, landlords and businesses in Hertford and the villages around it can call on all nine of our core services, each finished with the correct certification.
Certificates for Hertford landlords and home movers
Because so much of the town's housing predates modern regulations, condition reports come up constantly in Hertford: solicitors raise them during conveyancing, agents want them before a tenancy begins, and owners of older cottages simply want to know where they stand. We test thoroughly, code any defects in plain English and price remedial work as a separate job, so the report never becomes a sales pitch.
BES Electric has been trading since 2011, is NAPIT approved and fully insured, and Bogdan oversees every project personally, from a single replacement light to a complete rewire.

Hertford electrical FAQs
Common queries from homeowners and landlords across the county town.
Do you cover the villages around Hertford as well as the town?
Yes. Alongside Hertford itself we take on jobs in the surrounding villages and rural properties. Anywhere in the SG13 and SG14 postcode areas sits within our normal working patch, for planned appointments and for urgent faults alike.
Can you rewire a listed or period property in Hertford?
We work on older buildings regularly and plan cable routes to protect original plasterwork, joinery and other features. Listed properties can require consent for certain alterations, and we are used to coordinating with surveyors, architects and conservation officers where that applies.
How fast can you reach Hertford in an emergency?
Hertford is roughly twenty minutes from our Stevenage base by road, so the wait is usually short even in the middle of the night. Phone 07864 030871 whenever the fault happens; the line is answered around the clock and we will advise on immediate safety steps before we set off.
What paperwork do I get once the job is finished?
Every notifiable job is signed off through NAPIT, so you receive the correct certificate for the work: an Electrical Installation Certificate for new circuits, a Minor Works certificate for smaller alterations, or an EICR after an inspection. Part P notification to Building Control is included.
