Electrician in Knebworth
Fuse boards, sockets, EICRs and full rewires for Knebworth and Old Knebworth, handled by a NAPIT-approved firm whose base sits just over the boundary in Stevenage.
The electrician next door to Knebworth
Knebworth backs straight onto Stevenage, which makes BES Electric about as local as an electrician can be, normally five to ten minutes from your door.
The village mixes brick cottages and period houses along its older streets with post-war and later family homes, and each brings its own electrical quirks. We diagnose faults, add circuits for new kitchens and garden buildings, replace tired fuse boxes and rewire where testing shows the cabling has reached the end of its life.
That proximity matters most when something goes wrong. Our emergency call-out service operates 24 hours a day, and Knebworth is the quickest trip on our patch.
For planned projects we visit first, put a written quotation in your hands and certify everything through NAPIT once the work has been tested.

Electrical services in Knebworth
From a single new socket to a complete commercial fit-out, these are the jobs Knebworth customers call us for.
Fuse board upgrades in Knebworth homes
A surprising number of local houses still rely on consumer units fitted decades ago, some without RCD protection on any circuit. A modern board adds RCDs and, where appropriate, surge protection, giving every circuit in the house a layer of safety the old equipment simply could not provide.
Swapping a board is usually a one-day job. We test each circuit before energising, label everything clearly and leave you with certification showing the installation meets current wiring regulations. If testing uncovers a fault on an existing circuit, we explain plainly what it is and what fixing it involves before going any further.

Knebworth FAQs
What village customers usually ask before booking us in.
Which parts of Knebworth do you cover?
All of them. We take jobs in Knebworth village and Old Knebworth, along with the surrounding lanes and the wider SG3 postcode. Because Stevenage borders the village directly, no address in Knebworth is more than a few minutes from our base.
How soon can an electrician be in Knebworth?
Usually very quickly. The drive takes five to ten minutes, which means we can often call in on the day you ring for faults and squeeze smaller tasks between larger local jobs. For planned work such as rewires or board changes we simply agree a date that suits you.
Do you test rented properties in Knebworth for landlords?
Yes. If you let a house or flat in Knebworth you are required to hold a current, satisfactory EICR and to repeat the inspection on at least a five-yearly cycle. We handle the testing, explain any observations the report raises and provide the certificate via NAPIT.
Will you attend out-of-hours emergencies in Knebworth?
Always. Knebworth is the closest village to our base, so emergency response here is about as fast as we can offer anywhere. Whether the whole house has gone dark or one circuit keeps tripping, ring 07864 030871 and we will be on our way, whatever the time.
