Electrician in Hitchin
Rewires, fuse board upgrades, EICRs and fault finding for the market town of Hitchin, delivered by a NAPIT-approved contractor based fifteen minutes away in Stevenage.
Electrical work for Hitchin's period homes
Hitchin's medieval core and its rings of Victorian and Edwardian terraces are wonderful to live in, but many of those houses still run on wiring installed generations ago.
That age shows up in familiar ways: rubber or early PVC cables, a fuse box with rewirable fuses, sockets sitting two to a room. We rewire these properties sympathetically, lifting boards with care and making good as we go, and we swap old fuse boxes for modern consumer units with RCD protection.
Being based in Stevenage, we treat Hitchin as home turf. Surveys are easy to arrange, and smaller jobs can often be grouped with other work we already have on across SG4 and SG5.
If something fails outside working hours, our emergency electrician service runs around the clock, every day of the year.

Rewiring and upgrading period properties in Hitchin
A full rewire is the biggest electrical job most homeowners ever commission, and in a period terrace it needs planning: routes for new cables, positions for extra sockets, and a schedule that keeps disruption manageable if you are living in the house during the work. We talk you through each of those decisions before a single floorboard comes up.
Not every older house needs the full treatment, though. Sometimes an inspection shows the wiring itself is sound and only the consumer unit, earthing or bonding needs bringing up to current standards. An honest assessment first can save a great deal of upheaval, which is why we always start with testing rather than assumptions.

How quickly can you get to Hitchin from your base?
Our base in Stevenage is roughly fifteen minutes from Hitchin by road, so surveys and quotes are easy to arrange at short notice. Smaller jobs can often be fitted in around other work we have nearby, and for urgent faults we aim to attend the same day.
Do you provide EICRs for rented properties in Hitchin?
Yes. Landlords letting property in Hitchin need a satisfactory Electrical Installation Condition Report, renewed at least every five years.
