Electrician in Banstead

  • TMB Electrics works out of Banstead itself, so most of our week runs within a couple of miles of the High Street.
  • The 1930s semis around Winkworth Road and Ferndale Road are on their second or third board, and older ones have nothing that trips.
  • The flats over the High Street shops need a satisfactory EICR, which is a written check of the wiring, every five years.
  • Nork Way, Garratts Lane and the roads off Woodmansterne Lane have the off street parking a 7.4kW charge point wants.

Banstead homes and their electrics

  • Banstead grew in two bursts, and a house here tends to be wired the way its own era wired things.
  • Bay fronted and solidly built, with original cable still buried in the walls behind a much newer board.
  • Laid out from 1924, so whole roads reach the same age and want the same upgrade in the same year.
  • Supplies shared between homes and meters tucked into stair cupboards, which is what decides how long testing takes.

What happens on the day in Banstead

Banstead work is arranged Monday to Friday between 9am and 2pm, with access and any circuits that must stay live agreed before the visit.

  1. 01

    Arriving and planning the power

    We arrive at the agreed time and walk through the job with you before anything comes apart, so you know which rooms will lose power and for how long. Board work goes off circuit by circuit rather than all at once, allowing a freezer, fish tank or home office to be planned around. Parking near the High Street is worth arranging the day before.

  2. 02

    The work itself

    Dust sheets go down, furniture comes back to where it stood, and floorboards go down the way they came up. In a Nork semi most of the day is spent under floors and in the loft, because that is where the old cable runs. If what is behind the plaster turns out different from what we expected, you hear it from us while we are standing in the room, with the new figure, rather than at the end of the week.

  3. 03

    Testing and the certificate

    Every circuit we have touched is tested before it goes back into use, and no circuit goes live again until the readings are right. A board change, an added circuit or a rewire is notifiable work, so it is registered under Part P and the certificate follows to you. That document is what a buyer's solicitor, a letting agent or the next electrician in the house will want to see, so it belongs with the deeds.

Why Banstead customers choose TMB Electrics

We are minutes from your door, the figure is written down before a tool comes out, and the house is left cleaner than a lot of people expect.

Questions about electrical work in Banstead

What Banstead homeowners and landlords ask most.

How much does an electrician cost in Banstead?+

It depends entirely on the job, so every one is priced in writing before it starts. Fault finding runs from £80 an hour, and the starting figure for everything else sits on its own service page, because a socket and a rewire have nothing in common. A photograph of the board and a description of the trouble are usually enough for us to price a job without coming out first.

Do you cover all of Banstead?+

Yes, the whole of it. Banstead village and the High Street, the Nork estate, Burgh Heath, the roads towards Woodmansterne and Chipstead, Park Road and the streets on the station side. Living here means the drive is five minutes rather than an hour, so a second look at something is never a problem and a small job is practical to schedule.

My 1930s house still has its original fuse board. What should I do about it?+

Have the circuits tested first, then have the board swapped for a modern consumer unit with RCD protection, which cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong. In a Winkworth Road or Ferndale Road semi that is the single biggest safety improvement the house will ever get, and the testing is what tells us whether the cable behind the board is sound as well.

I let a flat above a shop on the High Street. What do I need?+

A satisfactory EICR at least every five years, with a copy for your tenant and one for the council if it asks. If the flat is let furnished, the appliances that come with it want PAT testing too, which is a check on plugs and leads. We do both in the same visit, and the shared meter cupboard on the stairs is the part to unlock beforehand.

Can you fit an EV charger on my drive in Nork?+

Almost always. The charge point sits on its own circuit running from the fuse board out to where the car parks, at 7.4kW, and the installation is notified to the electricity network afterwards. On the Nork roads the runs tend to be short and tidy. Where the board has no spare way, a new consumer unit goes in first and both jobs get priced together.

Do you take on small jobs?+

Yes, and they are most of our week. A single socket, an extractor fan that has stopped, a light fitting, a dead switch, an outside light for the back door. Small work is worth doing properly when the van is already two streets away, and it gets the same written figure beforehand as a fuse board does.

When can you come out?+

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