Local electrician in Great Horkesley
Great Horkesley keeps adding houses, so most of what we do here is capacity work: spare ways, charge points and supplies out to garden rooms.
Your local electrician in Great Horkesley
The village runs as a ribbon along the Nayland Road with newer closes set back behind it. On the newer side the board arrived modern, so the question is what is left in it rather than whether it needs replacing.
A charge point starts at the incoming supply and the main fuse rating, because that is what decides whether load management is needed. Then the route to where the car actually parks, which on these plots is usually short and inside the boundary.
The older cottages fronting the Nayland Road and Coach Road are a different job. Wiring went in at different times behind solid walls, so an added circuit begins with whether the earthing and bonding were ever brought up alongside.
We are NAPIT registered, member number 80815, which their public search will confirm. Testing follows the wiring regulations and notifiable work is registered through that scheme. Defined jobs carry a fixed price, fault finding is hourly, and the figure comes before booking. Monday to Friday, nine to five.
Why choose us

I had an EV charger installed by Valand, and I couldn’t be more pleased. From the initial quote to the final inspection, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure the charger was positioned exactly where I wanted it. All the necessary certificates provided and warranty as well. Excellent service from start to finish!

Great Horkesley electrician FAQs
The house is new. Can I just add a charge point?+
Usually, and quickly. The board is modern and there is often a spare way. The check is the incoming supply and what the house already draws, particularly where solar or a battery went in with the build.
How much can I add before the board runs out?+
Two limits, not one. Spare ways at the board, and the capacity of the incoming supply. People usually think about the first and get caught by the second.
The garden office is at the bottom of a long garden.+
Then it wants its own buried submain, sized for the run and for what will be in it, with its own protection and its own certificate.
Our cottage fronts the main road and has been altered a lot.+
Then we test before we price. Wiring of several ages in one house is normal here, and what matters is whether the earthing and bonding were brought up when the board last changed.
What am I left with?+
An installation certificate for a new circuit or a charge point, a minor works certificate for an alteration, and the test results either way.

Tell us the property, the postcode and what is actually happening, and add a photo of the fuse board if a circuit keeps tripping. That is usually enough for us to say which service it maps to and what the next step is. Homeowners, landlords and businesses are all welcome.
