BS34, Bristol
Covering Filton, Patchway, Little Stoke and the wider BS34 area — local electricians for homes of every age.
Local electrician
Filton, Patchway and Little Stoke form a well-established part of north Bristol, closely associated with the aerospace industry that shaped much of the area's residential development through the 20th century. The post-war semis built for aerospace workers in the 1950s and 1960s sit alongside newer developments that have grown up as the area has evolved, and we work across all of it.
Consumer unit upgrades are one of the most common jobs in Filton. The 1950s and 1960s post-war semis that line many streets in the area were built with electrical installations that made sense at the time — but fuse-wire boards, limited circuit capacity and outdated wiring are now well past their ideal service life. We upgrade consumer units in Filton homes regularly, working quickly and neatly to minimise disruption. For properties where the wiring itself needs attention, we carry out full or partial rewires to bring everything up to current standards.
EV charger installation is growing steadily across Filton and Patchway. The semi-detached properties throughout BS34 typically have side access or front drives that make installation practical and straightforward. We assess each property individually and install a charger that works reliably without overloading the existing electrical infrastructure — advising honestly if a consumer unit upgrade is needed first.
EICR certificates are a regular request in Filton, both from landlords with rental properties in the area and from buyers of older homes who want the electrics assessed before moving in. We carry out thorough inspections and issue clear, well-written reports that explain any observations plainly. We also handle fault finding, CCTV installation, lighting upgrades and additional circuits throughout the BS34 postcode.
Local knowledge
The post-war semis in Filton and Patchway have a clear and consistent electrical profile. Built rapidly in the late 1940s through to the 1970s to house a growing workforce, they typically have original or early-replacement consumer units, ring main circuits with limited socket provision, and in the older examples, wiring that has been extended in a piecemeal way over the decades. EICR inspections in these properties regularly identify the consumer unit as the most pressing item for upgrade, and we carry out board replacements in Filton semis as a regular and efficient job. Where older cable types are found, we advise on the options clearly and honestly.
The newer developments around the former Filton airfield and in Little Stoke present a more modern picture — better electrical infrastructure, more capacity, and a growing appetite for EV charger installation, CCTV and smart home technology. These properties are well-suited to the additions homeowners are looking for, and we install chargers, camera systems and structured data networks in BS34's newer homes regularly. Bungalows throughout the area are also a common job type for us — often well-maintained but with consumer units and wiring that benefit from review as the properties age.
