Listed Building Electricians

Let us take care of your electrical needs!

Listed Building electrics have to be worked on in a different manor to traditional properties. Period properties require a much higher level of attention to detail and delicacy in the approach to preserve the history of the building. Quite often the wiring has been neglected and is outdated requiring replacement. Our team carry out historic listed building rewires – click here for more information

JDH Electrics specialise in working in older historic listed buildings. Our electricians have years of experience to carry out your project safely and delicately and to meet the needs of your building.

Do you need listed building consent for electrical works?

Repair work that is necessary to sustain the heritage of a listed building is usually found to be desirable, after an official application has been made. So although any work on a listed building is not something to take on lightly, essential repairs are usually acceptable.

Wherever possible when repairing electrics in a listed building, every step should be taken to ensure that the property endures the least amount of damage.

Although many repairs will not affect the character of the building, consent is often required. As a result, even if you were to swap like for like material, you may still need listed building consent. This will be granted by the local planning authority. For electrical work in particular, this is often something that is necessary because of the intrusive nature of the work.

Great experience, had my garage fitted with electric and Cat 6 networking. Prompt service and nothing was too much trouble. Will be using again!

Joe is great, courteous and detailed. Quick to respond to emails and managed to finish the upgrade in four days while working long hours. He helped us upgrade our electrical system from single phase to 3 phase with a new board and tested all connections for a new electric certificate and balanced them across the 3 phases. No more tripping since the new installation and this will future proof us for new planned upgrades like extra solar panels, 3 phase heat pump and batteries. He even investigated a faulty CAT6 network connection for us, really impressed. We will definitely continue using him and recommend him to everyone. Thank you!

Excellent service! Joe was very prompt in answering my enquiry for replacing and upgrading my EV wallbox (to a Zappi) and as well as the work being performed to a very high standard, Joe is extremely safety minded (perhaps as you would expect) and made a few recommendations to improve our Consumer Unit wiring. Would highly recommend JDH Electrics.

Joe just completed the installation of an EV charger and some other work that was needed to do this. Through the whole process he has kept me informed with what's going on and done exactly what he said he'd do, exactly when he said he'd do it. He worked a 12 hour day to get it done and has done a fantastic job, I will definitely be using him for future electric work. Good work Joe 👏

Joe was excellent from the get go and ran thorough test on the current wiring before suggesting a course of action - something previous electrians did not do. He was extremely clean and tidy and I barely knew he had been over! He has an excellent attention to detail and I am over the moon with the work he has done. Cannot reccomend him enough!
