Electricians in Kempston
Over the border in Bedfordshire and part of our regular patch — a larger town with estate housing, older streets and commercial premises.
Kempston, Bedfordshire
Bedfordshire, and still our patch
Kempston is in Bedfordshire rather than Northamptonshire, adjoining Bedford on its western side. We cover Northamptonshire and the surrounding areas, and the Bedford side of the border is squarely part of that.
It is a larger place than most of the villages we work in, with a mix of older streets, substantial post-war estate housing and commercial and industrial premises. The estate housing in particular throws up a consistent job: boards installed decades ago that have never been upgraded, in homes now running far more than they were designed for.
Commercially the work is the usual range — unit and shop lighting, distribution, emergency lighting testing, PAT and periodic inspection.

Common questions
Your questions, answered
Questions we get asked about working in Kempston. If yours isn't here, just ask — we don't charge for straight answers.
-
You are based in Northamptonshire — do you really cover Kempston?
Yes. We are based in Wellingborough and cover Northamptonshire and the surrounding areas, and that includes over the county border to Kempston and the Bedford side.
-
Do the landlord rules differ in Bedfordshire?
No. The requirement for rented homes in England is the same: the installation inspected and tested at least every five years, with a copy of the report given to tenants.
-
How quickly can you get to Kempston in an emergency?
It is towards the outer edge of our area, so we will give you a straight answer on the phone about timing rather than promising something we cannot deliver. The emergency line is answered around the clock.
-
Do you carry out rewiring in Kempston?
Yes, full and partial. The town has a broad mix — older streets where routing is the challenge and estate housing where a rewire is largely a replacement exercise. We inspect before quoting so you know whether you are looking at the whole installation or a board and a few circuits.
-
Can you find an electrical fault in a Kempston property?
Yes. Tripping breakers, dead circuits, lights that flicker or trip in wet weather — all traced by testing rather than by replacing parts speculatively. We cover homes and commercial premises here on the same basis as the Northamptonshire side of our patch.
-
Do you work on commercial premises in Kempston?
Yes — offices, shops, workshops and units. Installation and fit-out work, lighting and LED upgrades, emergency lighting, PAT testing and periodic inspection, arranged around your opening hours.
-
Will the work be certified and notified to building control?
Yes. You get the appropriate certificate for the work — an Electrical Installation Certificate, Minor Works Certificate or EICR — and notifiable work is registered with building control through our NICEIC registration. That applies in Bedfordshire exactly as it does in Northamptonshire.
