About this service →Thornbury sits about thirty-five minutes from my Hanham base, up the A38, at the comfortable edge of my everyday patch: routine work books normally, small jobs batch onto Thornbury runs, and the quote carries the same no-surprises rules as everywhere else.

About this service →Thornbury's housing stock: two towns wearing one name
Electrically, Thornbury is two different customers. The old market town, the High Street and the streets around it, carries genuinely old stock: cottages and townhouses with the classic period findings, dated boards, tired circuits, earthing arrangements worth checking before anything else is planned, where EICRs and fault finding do the real work. Then there are the new estates that have grown around the town, where the electrics are young, certified and mostly fine, and the work is the opposite kind: snagging that the developer's aftercare didn't catch, and the extras new-build owners actually want, additional sockets where the show-home layout guessed wrong, outdoor sockets and garden power, and smoke alarm additions where lofts and garages get converted. Knowing which Thornbury you're in changes the first question I ask, and the villages, Alveston, Olveston, Tockington, lean strongly toward the older kind.
Services Thornbury asks for most
EICRs for the old-town stock and rentals · fault finding where age tells · consumer unit upgrades · smoke and heat alarms, both period retrofits and new-build additions.
Do you cover the villages around Thornbury?
Yes: Alveston, Olveston, Tockington and the lanes between are all in range, usually paired with Thornbury bookings, which the scheduling reflects in the price.
Do new-builds need an EICR?
Not for years: a new house comes with its Electrical Installation Certificate, and the first EICR is typically due around the ten-year mark for owner-occupiers, or five if it's rented. What new-builds actually need is the snagging-and-extras list above, which is cheerfully unglamorous work I'm happy to have.
How quickly can you get to Thornbury?
Around thirty-five minutes travelling, and routine work usually books within days, batched with other jobs up the A38.
