Electrician in Ashtead

  • Ashtead is just up the road from us and we take on the lot, from The Street to the Ashtead Park houses.
  • Most 1930s houses off Craddocks Avenue and Woodfield Lane are onto a second unit, and a few onto none.
  • The Ashtead Park houses spread their supply over several boards and outbuildings, and all of it needs testing.
  • Ottways Lane, the common and the station side keep us in everyday work most weeks of the year.

Ashtead homes and their electrics

  • Ashtead splits into a few clear kinds of house, each needing something different.
  • Barnett Wood Lane and Agates Lane, extended over the years on long serving circuits worth testing first.
  • Park Lane and the roads by the park, where several boards and outbuildings feed different parts of the property.
  • Second consumer units are common, and where the board changed but the cable did not, both get judged separately.

What happens on the day in Ashtead

Calls come through at all hours, and the jobs are booked into weekday mornings and early afternoons.

  1. 01

    Arrival and the first look

    We get there for the hour we booked and start at the board with you beside us, because in Ashtead a modern looking unit very often sits in front of much older wiring. On a Park Lane property that first look takes in the garage, the annexe and anything at the bottom of the garden as well. Only once we both know what feeds what does anything get switched off.

  2. 02

    Working through the property

    Lofts and floor voids do most of the carrying, so walls stay largely untouched and there is less to make good afterwards. In a period cottage on The Street the pace drops on purpose, since old timber and lime plaster do not forgive a rushed drill. Anything found behind the plaster that changes the job is put to you at the time, with its own figure, before we go any further with it.

  3. 03

    Testing and the paperwork

    Circuits are measured dead and then live, and the readings go into a schedule you keep. Board changes, added circuits and rewiring are notifiable work, registered under Part P and certified in your name. Where a property runs on several boards, each gets its own set of results, which is what a surveyor or a future owner will actually be able to follow.

Why Ashtead customers choose TMB Electrics

TMB Electrics keeps responsibility clear throughout, puts the cost on paper before a tool comes out and recommends only work supported by the testing.

Questions about electrical work in Ashtead

The questions Ashtead customers put to us most often.

How much does an electrician cost in Ashtead?+

Each job is priced in writing for your property before it starts. Fault finding is by the hour from £80, while every other job shows its starting figure on the page describing that work. Where a property is large or spread across outbuildings, the size is what drives the number, and the quote sets out how many days have been allowed.

Do you cover all of Ashtead?+

The whole village and everything round it. The Street, Lower Ashtead along Barnett Wood Lane and Agates Lane, Craddocks Avenue, Woodfield Lane, the Ashtead Park side, Ottways Lane, the common and the station. Leatherhead and Bookham are on the same run, so those roads are no trouble either.

My house has more than one fuse board. Can you test the lot?+

Yes, and on the Park Lane properties that is the only inspection worth paying for. Every board is tested and written up separately, including a garage, an annexe, a stable block or a garden office. Testing one board and calling the house done is a common shortcut and it leaves the parts most likely to have problems completely unexamined.

A new board went in years ago. Is the house fine?+

Not by itself. The board and the cable behind it are two separate questions, and plenty of Ashtead houses have a smart unit protecting wiring from the 1950s. Insulation resistance and earthing readings on each circuit settle it in an afternoon. Sometimes the answer is that everything behind the board is in good order, which is worth knowing before you spend money.

Can you wire a period cottage on The Street?+

Yes. In those buildings the wiring has to fit the house rather than the other way round, so cable follows voids, floors and chimney breasts and old plaster is left alone. Fittings are chosen so they suit the room. It is slower work, the quote reflects that, and what you get is a properly wired cottage that still looks its age.

Can you add a supply to a garden office or a garage?+

Regularly, and Ashtead's bigger plots see a lot of it. The building gets its own correctly rated supply in buried armoured cable with protection at the house end, plus its own small board if it is running heating and power tools. Feeding an office from a socket in the house is what causes the tripping people ring about a year later.

How soon could you start?+

TMB Electrics works Monday to Friday from 9am to 2pm. Share the Ashtead address and job details through the website so the work and a suitable appointment can be discussed.
