From the Victorian terraces of Parkstone to the modern developments on Canford Heath, we've worked on hundreds of homes across every BH postcode in Poole.
We regularly work near local landmarks including Poole Harbour, Sandbanks Peninsula, Poole Quay, Compton Acres and RNLI College.
We cover all neighbourhoods in the Poole area:
Poole is not just where we work — it is where Lilliput Electrical began. Our base at Unit 45 Balena Close sits in the BH17 postcode, which means every job in Poole is a homecoming of sorts. Since Tim founded the company in 2008, we have completed hundreds of electrical projects across every corner of this town, from the leafy avenues of Lilliput — the very neighbourhood that gave us our name — to the busy residential streets of Hamworthy and the sprawling estates of Canford Heath. No other electrician in Poole knows this town the way we do, because no other electrician lives and breathes it quite like we do.
Poole’s housing stock spans more than a century of building styles, and that variety shapes the electrical work we carry out every week. In a single day we might start with a full consumer unit upgrade in a 1930s semi on Branksome’s tree-lined roads, move on to an EV charger installation at a modern detached home on Canford Heath, and finish with an EICR inspection on a Victorian terrace in Parkstone. That breadth of experience is what sets a genuinely local electrician apart from someone travelling in from outside the area.
Our most commonly requested services in Poole include full and partial rewires, consumer unit upgrades, EV charger installations, solar PV systems, CCTV and security lighting, electrical testing and inspection, and general domestic electrical work such as additional sockets, lighting upgrades, and home office circuits. Every job we complete is covered by full NICEIC certification, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing the work has been carried out to the highest industry standards.
Upper and Lower Parkstone are home to a large number of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of which still have original or early twentieth-century wiring. These properties frequently need full rewires, which involves carefully routing new cables through solid walls, under floorboards, and around ornate ceiling roses and cornices. A full rewire for a typical three-bedroom Parkstone terrace starts from around £3,500, including a new consumer unit, all circuits, testing, and NICEIC certification. We also see a steady demand for consumer unit upgrades in these older homes, where the original fuse board may still contain rewirable fuses rather than modern MCBs and RCDs — a straightforward upgrade from £450 that makes a significant difference to safety.
Branksome’s inter-war housing stock is generally well built, but the original wiring is now approaching ninety years old. Even properties that were partially rewired in the 1970s or 1980s often have a mix of old and new circuits that can cause issues. We regularly carry out EICRs in Branksome, priced from £120, which identify any deterioration and help homeowners plan necessary upgrades. Many Branksome residents are also adding home office circuits, USB sockets, and EV chargers as their needs evolve — all work that benefits from a proper assessment of the existing installation.
Canford Heath’s newer housing — from the 1970s through to recent developments — tends to have wiring in reasonable condition, but the consumer units in older properties often lack RCD protection across all circuits. The most common work we do on Canford Heath involves consumer unit upgrades, EV charger installations (from £750 including a dedicated circuit and NICEIC certification), and solar PV systems. The relatively modern roof structures on Canford Heath homes are often well suited to solar, and we install systems from £4,500 for a typical residential setup.
Poole Quay and the harbour-side developments present their own challenges. EV charger installation in apartment blocks requires coordination with freeholders and management companies, and we have the experience to navigate that process. We also carry out a significant amount of landlord EICR work for the flats and apartments along the quay and in the town centre, ensuring compliance with current legislation.
The Lilliput area — our namesake — is home to some of Poole’s most desirable properties. These large detached homes often require comprehensive electrical work, from whole-house rewires to sophisticated lighting design, multi-room audio preparation, and integrated security systems including CCTV. The standard of finish expected in Lilliput is high, and we take particular care with neat cable management, flush-mounted accessories, and premium switch plates where specified.
Knowing Poole’s geography matters more than you might think. We know that parking is tight on the terraced streets around Parkstone railway station, so we plan our van access accordingly. We know that the harbour-side properties in Hamworthy can be affected by salt air, so we specify marine-grade fittings for any outdoor installation. We know which streets on Canford Heath have the older electrical infrastructure and which have been upgraded by the DNO in recent years. This kind of granular local knowledge saves time, avoids surprises, and ultimately delivers a better result for our customers.
Our proximity also means we can respond quickly. If a Poole customer has a fault that needs urgent attention, we can usually be on site within the hour. For planned work, our short travel time keeps costs down — you are not paying for an electrician to drive thirty or forty minutes each way from a distant base.
Poole Harbour — the second largest natural harbour in the world — is not just a landmark; it shapes the kind of work we do. Properties near the harbour need electrical installations that can withstand the coastal environment. We have carried out work near the RNLI College at the harbour entrance, around Poole Quay, and along the harbour-side roads where exposure to salt-laden air is a factor. All our outdoor installations in these areas use IP-rated enclosures and corrosion-resistant fixings as standard.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden costs. Here is what our most popular services cost for Poole customers:
Every quote we provide is detailed, written, and fixed — the price we quote is the price you pay. All work includes full testing, NICEIC certification, and a completion certificate for your records.
There are plenty of electricians who will come to Poole. The difference with Lilliput Electrical is that we are already here. We do not spend our mornings sitting in traffic on the A31 or A35 — we are five minutes from our first job of the day. That proximity means faster response times, lower overheads that we pass on in competitive pricing, and a genuine investment in the community we serve. Tim has lived and worked in Poole for over a decade, and many of our customers have become repeat clients who call us year after year for everything from a new socket to a full house rewire.
