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. ### Fuse board replacements The 1920s and 1930s houses on former Reigate Priory estate land are at the age where the board gives up first. ### Condition reports for landlords and buyers An EICR, a written check of the existing wiring, for anyone letting or buying an older house in the town. ### Sockets, outside lights and showers 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. ### The town centre conservation area Bell Street, West Street and the older High Street, where anything fixed to the outside is talked over with you first. ### Victorian terraces on Doods Road and Somers Road Extended repeatedly while the original circuits stayed put, so a loft bedroom often runs off Edwardian wiring. ### Interwar houses at Wray Park and towards South Park Solidly built and now at the point where a modern consumer unit is the sensible upgrade. ### Post war Rushetts Farm and Woodhatch Bought and altered piecemeal, so the wiring grew in stages and testing shows which stages were done properly. ## Electrical services in Reigate Pick the job you need and its page explains the work behind the figure. - [Electrical Fault Finding & Repair in Reigate](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/services/electrical-fault-finding): Electrical fault finding in Banstead and Surrey from £80 per hour.

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. ### 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. ### 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. ## Why Reigate customers choose TMB Electrics TMB Electrics provides a written figure before work begins, careful work throughout and a straight explanation of what an older Reigate property actually needs. ## Electrical work in Reigate homes Rewires, boards and lighting photographed in houses across the town. ## 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. ## Electrician for Reigate and the towns around it Out of Reigate we also work Redhill, Merstham, Horley, Kingswood, Tadworth, Banstead, Purley, Coulsdon, Epsom, Ashtead, Wallington and Sutton. ## Book Online The Reigate address and a few words on the work are enough for a written figure. ## Business facts - Service area: Banstead, Sutton, Wallington, Reigate, Purley, Epsom, Kingswood, Surrey, Coulsdon, Tadworth, Ewell, Horley, Burgh Heath, Chipstead, Surrey, Worcester Park, Ashtead - Hours: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri 09:00–14:00 - Phone: +447460070551 - Email: trevor@tmbelectrics.co.uk ## Book Online - [Book Online](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/#chat): Send the job details and request a quote from TMB Electrics. ## Sitemap - [Full sitemap](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/sitemap.md): Complete machine-readable page directory.
