Your Electrician in Winton

Winton packs more into a square mile than almost anywhere else in Bournemouth — a long, busy high street wrapped in street after street of 1930s bay-fronted semis, about 14 minutes from our Poole base. It sits close to Bournemouth University, so a large share of the housing is rented, student lets especially, which keeps a steady stream of EICRs and maintenance work coming our way.

1930s Semi-Detached Homes

Winton’s predominant housing type — the 1930s semi — has a distinctive electrical profile. These properties typically have a combination of original and partially updated wiring, ring main circuits that may have been modified over the decades, and consumer units of varying ages. Many still lack full RCD protection.

Full rewires start from £3,800 for a typical 3-bed semi-detached home. The work includes complete new cabling throughout, a modern 18th Edition consumer unit, and all new sockets, switches, and light fittings. We work room by room to keep disruption manageable and always complete rewires to full NICEIC certification standards.

Consumer unit upgrades from £450 are a practical first step where the existing wiring is in reasonable condition but the fuse board is outdated. We assess the wiring condition during every upgrade and provide honest guidance on whether further work is needed.

Landlord and Rental Compliance

Winton’s large rental sector means consistent demand for EICRs and compliance work. We carry out EICRs from £120, providing the legally required electrical safety report for landlords. For student lets, we understand the importance of scheduling around academic year changeovers and can work to tight turnaround times.

For HMOs and shared houses, we provide the additional compliance services required — fire alarm installations, emergency lighting, and socket provision assessments. All work is documented and certified for licensing purposes. See our HMO electrical compliance guide for Bournemouth landlords for a full breakdown of what BCP Council expects.

Additional Circuits and Upgrades

Many Winton homeowners are adding circuits for home offices, electric showers, additional sockets, or storage heaters. We handle all domestic additions and upgrades, ensuring new work integrates properly with the existing installation and is fully tested and certified.

EV Chargers

Where off-street parking is available, EV charger installation starts from £750. Winton’s 1930s semis often have side access or rear parking that makes installation practical. We survey each property and provide an honest assessment.

Winton High Street and Commercial Work

Winton’s high street is one of the longest stretches of independent shops, cafés and takeaways in Bournemouth, and the parade along Wimborne Road keeps us busy with commercial work as well as housing. Shop and food-premises units need their own fixed-wire (commercial EICR) inspections, emergency lighting on escape routes, and often three-phase supplies for kitchen and refrigeration loads — all of which we test and certify. When a unit changes hands or is refitted, we handle the lighting, power and distribution work and leave the new tenant with a clean certificate for their lease and insurance.
