Historic & Listed Building Electricians

Let us take care of your electrical needs!

Historic & Listed Building electrics have to be worked on in a different manor to traditional properties. Period heritage 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 Quite often the wiring has been neglected and is outdated requiring replacement.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.
