Electricians in Finedon
Ironstone properties, a long industrial history and a town-sized range of electrical work in a village-sized place.
Finedon, Northamptonshire
Ironstone, and what is behind the walls
Finedon has more character than most places its size, and a good deal of that is the ironstone. Solid-walled older properties are lovely to look at and awkward to wire: chasing is harder, cable routes are less obvious, and the shortcuts that would be fine in a cavity-walled house are not available.
That tends to push the work towards careful surface containment, thought-out routes and — where a property is being rewired — doing it while other work is going on rather than in isolation. It is worth getting the sequencing right with your builder.
There is a commercial side here too. Between the older trade premises and the newer units, we get called for lighting upgrades, emergency lighting testing and the periodic inspection that insurers and landlords ask for.

- Inspection and testing of the fixed wiring, coded by severity
- A report you can give your tenants, with the findings explained

Common questions
Your questions, answered
Questions we get asked about working in Finedon. If yours isn't here, just ask — we don't charge for straight answers.
-
Is rewiring a stone house more difficult?
More involved, yes. Solid walls mean fewer easy cable routes, so the design matters more and there is usually a mix of chasing and neat surface containment. It is very doable — it just should not be quoted as if it were a modern semi.
-
Can you work alongside a builder on a renovation?
Yes, and in older properties it is the sensible way. First fix before plastering, second fix after decoration, worked to whatever programme the build is running to.
-
Do you take on commercial premises in Finedon?
Yes — lighting upgrades, emergency lighting testing, PAT testing, periodic inspection and general maintenance for shops, workshops and units.
-
Can you carry out an EICR on a Finedon property?
Yes, for homes, rentals and business premises. Finedon’s ironstone housing and its older commercial buildings both tend to have layers of earlier work in them, and an inspection is the only reliable way to see what is actually there before it becomes a problem.
-
Our lights keep dimming — what would cause that?
Dimming, particularly when something heavy switches on, usually points to a loose or high-resistance connection somewhere, and sometimes to the incoming supply rather than your installation. It is worth taking seriously — a poor connection generates heat. We test to establish whether the cause is inside the property or on the supply side.
-
Do you provide landlord certificates for Finedon rentals?
Yes. We handle the inspection, the report and any remedial work in one go, and re-issue the certificate once the property meets the standard, so you have a single point of contact rather than juggling an inspector and a separate electrician.
-
Who do we call if the power fails out of hours?
Our mobile line, which is answered 24 hours a day. Finedon is a few minutes north-east of our base. If the fault turns out to sit with the distribution network rather than your installation we will tell you that plainly instead of charging you to find out.
