Electrician services from TMB Electrics

Electrician in Reigate

Electrician in Reigate for domestic fault finding, EICRs, rewiring, consumer unit replacement, EV chargers and electrical upgrades, with routes and existing circuits assessed before work.

Electrician in Reigate

  • Reigate is one of the towns we work in most, covering everything from a single socket in a terrace to a whole house of new circuits.
  • The 1920s and 1930s houses on former Reigate Priory estate land are at the age where the board gives up first.
  • An EICR, a written check of the existing wiring, for anyone letting or buying an older house in the town.
  • Woodhatch, Meadvale and the London Road side keep us busy with garden lighting and circuits for new appliances.

Reigate homes and their electrics

  • Reigate breaks into four broad sorts of house, and each brings its own electrical work.
  • Bell Street, West Street and the older High Street, where anything fixed to the outside is talked over with you first.
  • Extended repeatedly while the original circuits stayed put, so a loft bedroom often runs off Edwardian wiring.
  • Solidly built and now at the point where a modern consumer unit is the sensible upgrade.

What happens on the day in Reigate

Reigate appointments are arranged during TMB Electrics' Monday to Friday working hours, from 9am to 2pm.

  1. 01

    Turning up and setting out

    We arrive when we said, park where we have arranged, and start by looking at the board with you rather than disappearing into a cupboard. Bell Street and West Street have almost nowhere to leave a van, so that gets settled in advance. We go through which circuits drop and roughly when, so a home office, a shop counter or a child asleep upstairs is worked around instead of surprised.

  2. 02

    The work through the house

    In a Doods Road terrace the day is spent under the ground floor boards and up in the loft, since that is where a century of added circuits meet. Older skirtings and plaster come off carefully and go back looking like nobody was there. Should the wiring behind them turn out worse than the board suggested, you get the news and the revised figure in person, on the spot.

  3. 03

    Tests, certificate and notification

    Nothing is energised again until it has been measured and passed. New boards, new circuits and rewires are notifiable work, so the job is registered under Part P and your certificate follows. In the conservation area we also keep a photographic record of how the building looked before we started, which is worth having if anybody asks questions later about the front elevation.

Questions about electrical work in Reigate

The questions Reigate customers raise most often.

How much does an electrician cost in Reigate?+

Everything is quoted in writing for your own property before it begins. Time on a fault starts at £80 an hour; every other job carries its starting figure on the page for that service, because lumping a light switch and a full house of circuits into one number would tell you nothing useful. The written quote is the number you pay unless we agree a change on the day.

Do you cover all of Reigate?+

The whole town. The centre and conservation area, Doods Road and Somers Road, Wray Park, South Park, Rushetts Farm, Woodhatch and Meadvale, and out along the London Road. Redhill and Merstham sit on the same trip, so a job on that side of the hill costs no more to reach.

My house is in the conservation area. Can you still work on it?+

Yes. What conservation status limits is what shows from the street, so external lighting, meter boxes and anything fixed to the front are discussed with you before we fit them, and we use fixings that leave the least mark. Inside, cable is worked around the structure rather than chased through anything original. The extra care takes longer and the quote allows for it.

My board keeps tripping and I cannot work out why.+

That is a fault finding job, charged by the hour from £80. Usually it is water in an outside light, a failing shower element, a nail through a cable from a shelf someone hung, or an old freezer. We split the installation down circuit by circuit until the reading tells us which one is leaking, then quote the repair separately once the cause is known.

Do I need an inspection before I let out a Reigate house?+

You do. A let property in England needs a satisfactory condition report before the tenancy starts, renewed every five years at the latest, and the tenant is entitled to a copy. On the older houses around the town the report frequently picks up an ageing board, which is the item most likely to need putting right afterwards.

Can you add outside lighting and a garden socket?+

Regularly, and it is one of the most popular jobs on the Woodhatch and Meadvale side. Outdoor work needs weatherproof fittings, the right cable buried at the right depth, and residual current protection on the circuit feeding it. Where the existing board has no spare way, that gets sorted first and both parts are priced together.

How soon could you start?+

TMB Electrics works Monday to Friday from 9am to 2pm. Share the Reigate address, the work needed and any dates involving a builder or kitchen fitter so a suitable appointment can be discussed.
