Wokingham is roughly twenty minutes from Ascot and one of the more varied places we work. The older streets near the town centre run to Victorian and Edwardian houses, many of them extended at the back. Around those are post-war and 1960s estates, and beyond those a considerable amount of recent development.
Each brings a different problem. The older houses have usually been rewired at some point but rarely all at once, so you find one modern circuit alongside three that are not. The mid-century estates are the ones with tired boards and dated circuits. The new-build stock is generally sound but frequently underprovided — not enough sockets, no outside power, and no allowance made for an electric car.
What we're asked for most in Wokingham
- Partial rewires where only some circuits actually need it
- Consumer unit replacement and bonding upgrades
- Additional sockets and outdoor power on newer properties
- EV charge points, which on new estates usually need the board checking for capacity
New-build faults are worth a separate mention. We are called out fairly regularly to snagging on recent properties — a dead socket, a circuit that trips, an outside light that was never connected. It is not that the work was bad, it is that volume housebuilding leaves loose ends.
