Lilliput Electrical serves the whole of Springbourne from our Poole base, around 17 minutes away. Springbourne is one of Bournemouth’s most densely built-up areas, sitting immediately east of the town centre between the Lansdowne and Boscombe. The streets here are lined with Victorian terraced houses, many of which have been converted into flats, bedsits, and HMOs over the past half century. Alongside the older housing, pockets of purpose-built apartments and newer developments are appearing as part of the wider Springbourne regeneration.

Converted Flats and Shared Supplies

The defining feature of Springbourne’s housing stock is conversion. Large Victorian houses that were once single family homes now contain two, three, or sometimes four separate flats, each with their own electrical supply. These conversions were carried out over several decades, and the quality varies enormously. Some have properly separated supplies with individual consumer units and metering. Others have a tangle of shared circuits, improvised sub-mains, and consumer units of different ages crammed into hallway cupboards.

For individual flat rewires, we work within the boundaries of each unit and ensure the installation meets current 18th Edition standards. Where shared supplies or communal wiring is involved, we coordinate with freeholders and managing agents. Flat rewires are typically less expensive than whole-house rewires — we survey each property and provide a tailored quote based on the number of rooms and circuits.

Consumer unit upgrades from £450 are often the most practical first step. A modern unit with full RCD protection significantly reduces the risk of electric shock and fire, and the work is usually completed in half a day.

HMO Compliance and Fire Safety

Springbourne has a high concentration of HMOs, and landlords face strict electrical compliance requirements from BCP Council. The key obligations include a valid EICR (renewed every five years for rental properties), a fire alarm system meeting the appropriate British Standard grade, and emergency lighting in communal areas and on escape routes.

We provide a complete HMO electrical compliance package. EICRs start from £120 and we can schedule multiple inspections in the same area on the same day for landlords with several properties. Fire alarm installations are quoted individually based on property size and the required grade — a basic Grade D LD2 system for a smaller HMO typically starts from £400, while larger properties needing Grade A systems are priced after survey.

Emergency lighting installations ensure that escape routes remain lit during power failures. We install, test, and certify emergency lighting systems and provide the documentation landlords need for HMO licence applications.

Landlord EICRs and Rental Compliance

Beyond HMOs, Springbourne’s large standard rental sector means consistent demand for EICRs and electrical maintenance. We work with landlords, letting agents, and property management companies across the area. Our reports are clear, detailed, and provided promptly — typically within 48 hours of the inspection.

Where an EICR reveals remedial work, we can often carry out minor items during the same visit. For larger pieces of work, we provide a clear quote and schedule the remedial work to meet the 28-day compliance deadline.

Security and CCTV

Springbourne residents and landlords increasingly invest in security systems. We install complete CCTV packages — from single-camera setups to multi-camera systems covering all approaches to a property. Security lighting with PIR sensors starts from £95 per unit, and we can integrate cameras, lighting, and intruder alarms into a single, manageable system.

The Springbourne Regeneration

Springbourne is changing. New developments and refurbishments are improving the area, and property owners are investing in upgrades. Whether you are renovating a Victorian terrace, updating a conversion, or fitting out a new apartment, we provide the electrical services to match — from complete rewires to additional circuits for modern living.
