Electricians in Mears Ashby
A small stone village west of Wellingborough, where most of the work is older property and the outbuildings that come with it.
Mears Ashby, Northamptonshire
Stone, and everything that comes with it
Mears Ashby is a small village of largely older stone property, and that single fact shapes most of the electrical work here. Solid walls, thick floors and long cable runs make routing the main design problem, and they make any job that involves lifting the installation out a bigger undertaking than the same job in a modern house.
The upside is that these properties rarely need everything doing at once. A condition report usually shows a handful of genuine problems and a lot that is perfectly serviceable, and a partial rewire is often the honest answer.
Village properties here also tend to sit on more ground than a town house, which brings its own list — outbuilding supplies, driveway and garden lighting, and outside power that has to be specified for outdoors rather than extended from inside.

Emergency electrician in Mears Ashby
A short run west from our base. The 24/7 line covers the village, and rural properties in particular are worth calling about rather than waiting, because a fault outside is rarely going to improve overnight.
Common questions
Your questions, answered
Questions we get asked about working in Mears Ashby. If yours isn't here, just ask — we don't charge for straight answers.
-
Can you wire an annexe or converted outbuilding?
Yes. It needs a properly sized sub-main from the main board, its own distribution and the right protection, then testing and certification. Converted outbuildings are common work for us in the villages.
-
Is running power across a garden a big job?
Not necessarily, but it has to be done properly — armoured cable at the right depth, correct protection back at the board, and weatherproof terminations. Done cheaply it fails within a few winters.
-
Do you charge extra for rural callouts?
Mears Ashby is well within our normal patch, so no. If you are further out than our usual area we will say so when you call rather than surprising you afterwards.
-
Can you carry out a landlord EICR in Mears Ashby?
Yes. Stone-built village property often has older wiring and outbuilding supplies that an inspection will pick up, and both count towards whether the report comes back satisfactory. We test the lot, report on it and quote for anything that needs correcting.
-
How disruptive is rewiring a stone house?
Less than most people imagine, if it is planned properly. Chasing solid stone is a last resort, so we route through floors, roof spaces and existing channels, and run surface conduit where it will not be seen. We also phase the work so the kitchen and at least some lighting stay live throughout.
-
Our lights trip when it rains — where would you start?
With the outside circuits and anything running to an outbuilding, because water tracking into a joint, a light fitting or a buried cable is the usual answer. Insulation resistance testing will show the deterioration even between showers, which is what makes these findable rather than a matter of waiting for the weather.
-
Will you come out to Mears Ashby at night?
Yes. The village is west of Wellingborough and well within the patch we cover out of hours. Call the mobile number and you will get one of our electricians rather than an answering service.
