Crawley is home. We work in every part of the town. That runs from Three Bridges, Pound Hill and Maidenbower in the east to Tilgate, Broadfield, Southgate, West Green and Langley Green. We also cover the town centre around Queens Square and the Memorial Gardens.
Crawley grew fast as a new town after the war, so most of its homes were built in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Many of those houses now need a new fuse box. A lot still have wiring that has been added to by several different hands. That is the bulk of our work here: fuse box upgrades, rewires, extra sockets and faults that need tracing properly.
We also fit EV chargers on driveways all over town and do safety checks (EICRs) for the many landlords in town. Whether it is one dead socket or a full rewire, we are only a few minutes away.
We are based in Crawley, so jobs anywhere in town are close to home. This is where we work most days.
Crawley's new town homes and their wiring
Crawley became a new town in 1947. It was built one neighbourhood at a time. West Green came first in 1949. Northgate, Langley Green, Three Bridges, Pound Hill and Ifield followed in the early 1950s. Tilgate, Southgate and Gossops Green came next.
Furnace Green started in 1960 and Broadfield in 1969. Bewbush followed in the mid 1970s. Maidenbower came in the late 1980s. Forge Wood is the newest part of town, with up to 1,900 homes north of Pound Hill.
That means a lot of Crawley homes are now 50 to 75 years old. Many have had a new fuse box and a few extra sockets since then. Some have had very little done. A home of that age is worth a full test before you add a new kitchen or a loft room.
Some streets are older than the new town. Hazelwick Road in Three Bridges grew up with the railway. Malthouse Road has late Victorian and Edwardian houses. The High Street is older still. The George Hotel there dates from 1615.
What we get called out for in Crawley
Fuse boxes in new town homes
Homes in Langley Green, Tilgate, Southgate and the other early neighbourhoods often still have an old board. We test first, then fit a new consumer unit and certify it.
Work in conservation areas
Crawley has 13 conservation areas, including the High Street, Ifield Village and Worth. In older homes there we plan cable runs with care and keep damage small.
Safety checks for landlords
Landlords need an EICR at least every 5 years. A house shared by 5 or more people from 2 or more households needs a council licence too. We test, write the report and fix what fails.
Extras for newer homes
In Maidenbower and Forge Wood we fit EV chargers, extra sockets, outside lights and power for garden rooms.

What we do in Crawley
Electrician in Crawley, questions answered
How much does a new fuse box cost in Crawley?
It depends on how many circuits your home has and what the tests find. A small flat in Bewbush is a different job to a big house in Maidenbower. We test first, then give you one fixed price in writing. The quote is free.
My home is in a Crawley conservation area. Can you still rewire it?
Yes. We plan the cable routes with you and keep changes small. If your home is listed, ask the council before any work that changes the building.
I let a house in Crawley. What do I need?
You need an EICR at least every 5 years. Your tenants need a copy. If 5 or more people from 2 or more households share the house, it needs a council licence too. We can do the test and any repairs.
Can you fit an EV charger at a Forge Wood home?
Yes. We check your fuse board has room, run a new circuit to the drive and give you a certificate for the work.
