Electricians in Stanwick
A Nene valley village with an older core and newer housing around it, and a job list that splits neatly between the two.
Stanwick, Northamptonshire
Old core, newer edges
Stanwick sits in the Nene valley between Irthlingborough and Raunds, and like several villages along here it has an older stone and brick centre with more recent housing around it.
The split shows in the work. In the older properties it is condition reports, consumer unit upgrades and tracing faults in installations that have grown piecemeal. In the newer housing it is almost entirely about adding capacity — EV charge points, home office supplies, garden power and outside lighting.
Being close to the river, damp finding its way into outdoor circuits and garage supplies is a recurring cause of tripping here, and one that is easy to diagnose properly and easy to misdiagnose by guesswork.

Common questions
Your questions, answered
Questions we get asked about working in Stanwick. If yours isn't here, just ask — we don't charge for straight answers.
-
Can you fit a charge point to an older house?
Usually. What decides it is the incoming supply, the earthing arrangement and the consumer unit, so those are checked before anything is ordered. Sometimes the board needs upgrading as part of the job.
-
Why does our outside socket trip the RCD?
Most often water, either in the accessory itself or in the cable feeding it. It is exactly the sort of fault that insulation resistance testing pins down quickly instead of replacing parts and hoping.
-
Who do we ring if the power goes off in the evening?
Our mobile number, which is answered at any hour including weekends and bank holidays. Stanwick sits east of Wellingborough near Raunds, so it is comfortably inside the area we will turn out to rather than leave until the morning.
-
Do you carry out rewiring in Stanwick?
Yes. The village splits fairly neatly — the older core where routing cables is the hard part, and the newer housing where a rewire is mostly a straightforward replacement. We will tell you after an inspection whether a full rewire is genuinely needed or whether a board change and a few circuits will do.
-
Can you do an EICR for a Stanwick rental?
Yes. We inspect and test the installation, issue the report, and where it comes back unsatisfactory we quote the remedial work and re-certify once it is complete, so the property can be let without a gap.
-
How do you find a fault in a buried or hidden cable?
Electrically first. Insulation resistance and continuity testing will tell us which cable has failed and roughly how far along, which means digging or lifting in one place rather than along the whole run. Cables to outbuildings and garden lighting are the usual culprits in a village like this.
-
Are you fully insured?
Yes, with full insurance cover on every job regardless of size, plus NICEIC approval, Part P registration and SafeContractor accreditation. Risk assessments and method statements are supplied where a site or a client requires them.
