Homes in Princes Risborough
The town has a period centre, a good number of 1930s and 1960s semis, and modern estates on the edges. The 1960s houses are where we most often find original wiring reaching the end of its life, older fuse boxes and too few sockets for how families live now. The newer estates rarely need rewiring, but owners often want lighting changed or outside power added.
What we usually do here
A typical Risborough job is a consumer unit upgrade on a 1960s semi, sometimes after an EICR has flagged missing RCD protection. We also trace faults such as a single circuit that trips when the weather turns or a set of sockets that has gone dead. If a problem turns out to need more than a repair, we explain the options and quote before doing anything further.
We keep things simple for Risborough customers: one phone number, a clear time window for the visit and a written quote before any chargeable work. If parts need ordering, we tell you on the day and agree a return date rather than leaving you guessing.
Practical answers
- My house is from the 1960s. Does it need a rewire?
- Not necessarily. An inspection shows whether the existing cables are sound, and often a board upgrade and some alterations are enough.
- Can you add outdoor power?
- Yes, outdoor sockets and lighting are part of our domestic work, installed with suitable protection.
