Historic & Listed Building Electricians

Let us take care of your electrical needs!

Historic & Listed Building electrics have to be worked on in a different manor to traditional properties. Period heritage properties require a much higher level of attention to detail and delicacy in the approach to preserve the history of the building. Quite often the wiring has been neglected and is outdated requiring replacement. Our team carry out historic listed building rewires – click here for more information

JDH Electrics specialise in working in older historic listed buildings. Our electricians have years of experience to carry out your project safely and delicately and to meet the needs of your building.

Do you need listed building consent for electrical works?

Repair work that is necessary to sustain the heritage of a listed building is usually found to be desirable, after an official application has been made. So although any work on a listed building is not something to take on lightly, essential repairs are usually acceptable.

Wherever possible when repairing electrics in a listed building, every step should be taken to ensure that the property endures the least amount of damage.

Although many repairs will not affect the character of the building, consent is often required. As a result, even if you were to swap like for like material, you may still need listed building consent. This will be granted by the local planning authority. For electrical work in particular, this is often something that is necessary because of the intrusive nature of the work.

Joe did a great job. Needed an electrician to change a switch to make my elderly mum's gas hob working again. He messaged to say when he was on his way, and knew what he was doing. I would definitely recommend him for any jobs big or small.

5 stars is no where near enough credit for Joe and his team, I wish I could give them more! My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Joe, Laura and Cliff over the course of a few weeks whilst they fully rewired our listed property. The skill, professionalism and attention to detail they all exhibited was second to none and we have been blown away by every aspect. Joe's knowledge is exemplary and he talked us through every option and decision that needed to be made. They went above and beyond without fail, and it was a pleasure to have met them and to watch them work. I wholeheartedly recommend JDH Electrics!

Joe has carried out a number of Quinquennial EICRs on community buildings in Kennett; St Nicholas Church which is a 13th C building, the Sports Pavilion and the Village Hall. These have been complex inspections due to their age and sheer size but he has risen to the challenge and provided very comprehensive, clear and pragmatic reports on which the respective Committees could easily take decisions for the remedial works. He has been incredibly flexible and conscientious in undertaking these works making it very easy to thoroughly recommend Joe and his Company to other groups managing large Community facilities. A very easy going guy with a friendly and positive attitude to his clients makes JDH Electrics the go - to Company in our expanding village for all electrical works no matter how big or small.

I was so impressed by JDH electrics, Joe and his team did a fantastic job in installing two outdoor motion sensor lights and two radiators to my double dog kennel in the garden. They were extremely efficient in getting the job done in a timely manner and installed it very neatly with minimal alterations to the dog kennel or the external walls. The cables were sunken underneath the garden also using specific safely measures and a new electrical box and earthing cables were installed to the inside of the house. There is even an isolation switch in the kennel so I can turn the whole lot off if I am away. I was so pleased with the final result and would highly recommended Joe and his team. They are very neat and make sure they ‘make good’ if any damage occurs to the brickwork. I also felt the pricing was very fair considering all the work they had to do. They had the whole job finished within just two days. If you are looking for a professional and thorough workman for your electrical needs don’t hesitate to ask JDH electrics to give you a quote. They will come out and do an assessment and then give you a full breakdown of the work required and an invoice before you decide to go ahead. I will certainly be hiring them again if I have any more electrical work that needs doing in the future. Thank You JDH Electrics ! Excellent Work !

Joe from JDH Electrics responded quickly on the telephone and arranged to come to my house to resolve the electrical problem within two days despite being very busy. He was professional, friendly and charges a fair price, I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

New Myenergy Zappi EV charger has been installed by JDH electrics and I can say that Joe took all the stress out of getting it arranged and then installed. Dealing with Joe from start to finish has been just about as good as it gets. He's super friendly, clearly technically very capable and was able to get my property assessed in person and then quoted on within a couple of days. The new EV charger was installed within 3 weeks from first enquiry. He has been super helpful with my questions throughout the process and I would thoroughly recommend his services to anyone looking.

Joe is a friendly, knowledgeable and professional electrician. Firstly hired for an EICR of our property, he uncovered the issues present and provided appropriate solutions. It turns out that the builders of the property had done a few nasty things, and without Joe's work we may never have uncovered some potentially dangerous issues until it was too late. He also uncovered a hidden socket backplate that had been plastered over, explaining why our 1st floor ring didn't have continuity. All of this was done with minimal cutting in to the inner walls of the property. Once the job was done, he left the room in a cleaner state than when he started! What I appreciate most about Joe is the time he took to explain what he was doing in a way that I as someone with no electrical knowledge could understand. It takes a true master of his craft to break down readings and concepts in a way that someone with no knowledge can understand.
