Home Extension Electrics in Chalfont St Giles
Extension & Loft Electrical Work for Chalfont St Giles homes across HP8, from a Buckinghamshire-based electrician who covers Buckinghamshire on a weekly rota.
A Chilterns village with a preserved historic green, once home to poet John Milton. That mixture matters because it drives what a typical extension wiring visit here actually involves: period cottages around the green, larger detached houses on the surrounding lanes, and small pockets of modern housing. The routing choices, cable ages and consumer unit types you find in Chalfont St Giles homes aren't the same as one town over, and neither is the way we plan the job.
Based at 14 Kelly Road, High Wycombe HP11 1BW. Domestic only.

Planning your extension's electrics with the builder
- 1
Coordinate with the builder
We agree first-fix timing with your builder and mark up socket and switch positions once studs are in.
- 2
First fix
Cables run through joists and studs, back boxes fitted, and any new circuits terminated at the consumer unit ready for testing.
- 3
Second fix and test
Accessories fitted after plaster, everything tested and certified as part of the new circuits under BS 7671.
Questions we get asked most
- Will the new work be certified?
- Yes, as new circuits under BS 7671 with a full initial verification test.
- Do we need a bigger consumer unit?
- Sometimes. If there are no spare ways, we either fit a new unit or add a small sub-board fed off a suitable circuit.
- Do you handle data cabling too?
- We can run Cat6 to the extension while the walls are open, so points are neat and hidden.
- What about the existing kitchen circuits?
- If they're being reshaped, we plan and re-terminate them so nothing ends up buried behind a new stud wall.
