Lightwater is about twenty minutes from Ascot, in Surrey Heath, and we cover it alongside Bagshot and Windlesham. The housing is predominantly twentieth-century — a good deal of it from the 1960s and 70s — with later infill and a scattering of larger properties on the edges towards the common.
Housing of that era produces a consistent set of inspection findings, and none of them are dramatic:
- Consumer units with no RCD protection, or split-load boards nearing the end of their life
- Main protective bonding to gas and water that does not meet current requirements
- Circuits extended over the years for extensions, conservatories and kitchens
- Nowhere near enough socket outlets for how a house is used now
The good news is that this rarely means a rewire. On most properties of this type the cable is sound and the answer is a new board, upgraded bonding, and a handful of circuits brought up to standard. That is a fraction of the cost and disruption, and we will tell you if that is what you are looking at rather than quoting for the bigger job.
What we're asked for most in Lightwater
- Consumer unit replacement and bonding upgrades
- Electrical safety certificates, for sales and for rented property
- Additional sockets, particularly in kitchens and home offices
- EV charge points, with the board checked for capacity first
