Tewkesbury sits where the Avon meets the Severn. Its old town centre is packed with timber-framed houses and narrow alleys. Around it are post-war estates and a lot of new homes. Each brings its own kind of electrical work.
We are a NICEIC Approved contractor. Every job is tested and certified. You get one fixed price in writing before we start.

Our base is on Tewkesbury Road in Cheltenham, about 15 minutes from the town. We are out this way often.
Old timber frames, post-war estates and new builds
The town centre is a conservation area. Church Street, High Street and Barton Street are lined with timber-framed buildings. One house on Church Street dates from the late 1400s or early 1500s. Some homes on Lilley's Alley and Fletcher's Alley still stand on the old long plots behind the main streets.
In buildings like these, wiring has been added bit by bit over many years. New cables have to go round old beams with care. Many are listed, so the owner may need consent before work that changes the building.
Northway grew after the Second World War. A large estate was built on the site of a wartime army camp, with more homes in the 1960s. Priors Park also has post-war homes. Wiring that old is worth a proper test.
Water is the other big issue. In July 2007 flood water reached many homes in and around the town. The Mythe water works was shut. About 140,000 homes lost tap water for up to 17 days.
New homes keep coming to the east. In 2025 plans went in for up to 2,800 homes between Northway, Ashchurch and Aston on Carrant.
What we get called out for in Tewkesbury
Testing after a flood
Do not use sockets or a fuse board that got wet. We test every circuit before the power goes back on.
Raising sockets and boards
Some owners near the rivers ask us to move sockets and the fuse board higher up the wall. That makes the next clean-up quicker.
Wiring in listed buildings
We plan cable routes round old beams and keep changes small, so the building keeps its character.
Fuse boards on post-war homes
Many Northway and Priors Park homes are due a new consumer unit. We test first, then fit and certify it.

What we do in Tewkesbury
Electrician in Tewkesbury, questions answered
How much does a new fuse board cost in Tewkesbury?
It depends on how many circuits you have and what the tests find. Older wiring sometimes needs repairs before a new board can go in. We test first, then give you one fixed price in writing.
My home flooded. Are my electrics safe?
Do not switch anything back on until it has been tested. Water and old wiring do not mix. We test each circuit and tell you plainly what needs to change.
Can you work on a listed building in the town centre?
Yes. We plan the cable routes with you and keep changes small. If the building is listed, check with the council before any work that changes it.
Do you cover the villages?
Yes. We work in Ashchurch, Walton Cardiff, Bredon, Twyning and the villages around them. If you are close by, just ask.
