Your Electrician in Kinson

Lilliput Electrical provides NICEIC registered electrical services across Kinson, West Howe, East Howe, and Ensbury Park. Based in Poole, we are around 10 minutes from the Kinson area and work here frequently. The wide range of property types and ages across this part of Bournemouth means our work here is varied — from rewiring 1930s semis to ensuring HMOs meet current electrical safety regulations.

Diverse Housing, Diverse Electrical Needs

Kinson’s housing stock tells the story of nearly a century of residential development. The 1930s semi-detached homes along the main roads have their own electrical character — some still with original wiring or 1970s-era updates that are now ageing. The post-war council estates in West Howe and East Howe were built to the standards of their time but are now well overdue for modernisation. And newer infill developments, while electrically modern, sometimes need additions that the original build did not include.

For the older properties, an EICR from £120 provides a thorough assessment of the installation’s condition. Many homes in the Kinson area benefit from a consumer unit upgrade from £450, which replaces the old fuse board with a modern unit incorporating RCD protection. This is the most cost-effective safety upgrade available and can be completed in half a day.

Where wiring has deteriorated beyond the point where an upgrade is sufficient, we carry out full and partial rewires. A full rewire for a 3-bed semi starts from £3,800. We work through the property systematically, keeping disruption to a minimum, and restore all areas to a clean finish once the electrical work is done.

HMO Compliance for Kinson Landlords

Kinson and the surrounding area has a significant number of Houses in Multiple Occupation, and we work with landlords and managing agents to ensure these properties meet all electrical safety requirements. HMO compliance typically involves several elements that we handle as a complete package.

EICR inspections confirm the condition of the fixed electrical installation and must be renewed every five years for rental properties. Fire alarm systems — rated LD1, LD2, or LD3 depending on the property type and local authority requirements — must be installed and maintained. Emergency lighting may be required in common areas and escape routes. We install, test, and certify all of these systems.

For landlords managing multiple HMOs in the Kinson area, we offer efficient scheduling and competitive pricing. We can inspect and certify several properties in sequence, reducing both cost and the time needed to coordinate access. Our HMO electrical compliance guide for Bournemouth landlords covers the full BCP Council requirements.

Domestic Services for Homeowners

Beyond landlord work, we provide the full range of domestic electrical services to Kinson homeowners. Additional circuits for extensions, loft conversions, and kitchen renovations are common requests. We install new lighting designs from simple like-for-like upgrades to complete redesigns with LED fittings, dimming controls, and feature lighting. Kitchen and bathroom electrical fit-outs typically start from £250 depending on complexity.

EV charger installations from £750 are available for Kinson residents with off-street parking. We supply and fit units from all major brands, each with a dedicated circuit and NICEIC certification.

Testing and Certification

All our work is tested and certified to BS 7671 standards. We provide NICEIC certificates for every installation and detailed EICR reports for every inspection. Our paperwork is thorough, clearly presented, and provided promptly.
