View Services →Bournemouth's diverse housing stock — from Victorian terraces in Boscombe to converted flats in the town centre — means electrical needs vary enormously. We regularly handle HMO compliance work for landlords, full rewires of Edwardian properties in Winton, and EV charger installations for the growing number of electric vehicle owners.
We regularly work near local landmarks including Bournemouth Pier, Bournemouth Gardens, Russell-Cotes Museum, Bournemouth University and BIC.
We cover all neighbourhoods in the Bournemouth area:
Bournemouth sits just fifteen minutes east of our Poole base, and it is one of our busiest service areas. The town’s extraordinary range of housing — from grand Victorian villas along the East Cliff to post-war bungalows in Moordown — creates a demand for electrical services that is every bit as diverse as the architecture itself. We work in every Bournemouth postcode from BH1 through to BH11, and the sheer variety of projects we handle here keeps our skills sharp across every discipline.
What makes Bournemouth distinct from neighbouring Poole is the density and diversity of its housing stock. The town centre and immediate surroundings are dominated by converted flats and purpose-built apartments, many of which were created by subdividing large Edwardian and Victorian houses. Further out, suburbs like Winton and Charminster are filled with solid Edwardian semis, while areas like Moordown and Kinson offer a mix of 1950s and 1960s houses and bungalows. Westbourne has its own character entirely, with elegant Art Deco properties alongside period homes, and Boscombe continues its regeneration with a mix of original Victorian terraces and new-build developments.
This variety means our work in Bournemouth ranges enormously from one job to the next. In a typical week, we might complete a landlord EICR on a converted flat in Springbourne, carry out a full rewire on an Edwardian semi in Charminster, install a fire alarm system in a Boscombe HMO, and fit an EV charger at a family home in Southbourne. Each job demands different expertise, and our NICEIC registered Contractor status means every one of them is completed to the highest standard.
Bournemouth has a substantial private rental sector, driven in part by the student populations at Bournemouth University and Arts University Bournemouth. This means there is a large stock of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), particularly in Winton, Charminster, and the streets around Bournemouth University in Talbot Village. HMOs have specific electrical requirements that go beyond standard domestic installations.
Landlords are legally required to have a valid EICR for every rental property, with inspections at least every five years. For HMOs, the requirements are more stringent: fire alarm systems must meet the appropriate British Standard grade, emergency lighting may be required in communal areas, and each lettable room typically needs its own smoke detection. We carry out EICR inspections from £120 per property and can schedule multiple inspections on the same day for landlords with portfolios in the same area. Fire alarm installations for HMOs are quoted individually based on the number of rooms and floors, but typically start from £400 for a basic Grade D system.
We understand the time pressures landlords face — a failed EICR can delay a tenancy, and an expired certificate is a legal liability. We aim to turn around EICR reports within 48 hours and can prioritise urgent inspections where a tenancy start date is approaching.
The Edwardian and Victorian properties that define much of central Bournemouth are often the most rewarding to work on — and the most demanding. Many of these houses have been through multiple rounds of partial rewiring over the decades, resulting in a tangle of old and new circuits, outdated consumer units, and wiring that no longer meets current safety standards.
A full rewire strips all of this back and replaces it with a clean, modern installation. In a typical three-bedroom Edwardian semi in Winton or Charminster, a full rewire costs from £3,800 and takes approximately five to seven working days. The price includes a new consumer unit with full RCD protection, all new circuits (lighting, ring finals, cooker, shower, and any dedicated circuits), testing, and an Electrical Installation Certificate. We take particular care with period features, routing cables to avoid damage to cornices, ceiling roses, and original plasterwork wherever possible.
For properties that have been partially rewired in the recent past, a targeted upgrade may be more appropriate than a full rewire. This might involve replacing the consumer unit (from £450), upgrading specific circuits, or adding new circuits for modern needs like home offices, electric showers, or induction hobs.
The number of electric vehicles on Bournemouth’s roads is growing rapidly, but the town’s housing stock presents some unique challenges for charger installation. Many Bournemouth properties — particularly the terraces in Boscombe and Southbourne and the converted flats in the town centre — do not have off-street parking or private driveways.
Where a property does have a driveway or garage, EV charger installation is straightforward. We install all major charger brands including Ohme, Easee, Zappi, Pod Point, and Tesla Wall Connectors, with prices starting from £750 for a full installation including the charger unit, a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, appropriate earthing, and NICEIC certification.
For terraced properties without driveways, we assess each situation individually. Where a cable needs to cross a pavement to reach a parking space, we can install cable management systems that comply with local authority requirements. We advise on the practicalities and any permissions needed before starting work, so there are no surprises.
Our familiarity with Bournemouth’s individual neighbourhoods allows us to anticipate issues before they arise. In Boscombe, we know that many of the Victorian terraces have been subdivided into flats with shared supplies, which complicates consumer unit work. In Southbourne, we are aware that properties closer to the cliff top are exposed to salt air and need marine-grade fittings for outdoor installations. In Moordown, we know the 1960s housing often has aluminium wiring in certain circuits, which requires specific connection methods. In Kinson, many properties back onto open heathland and benefit from security lighting and CCTV — we install complete security packages including camera systems, PIR-triggered lighting, and alarm integration.
This kind of knowledge is not something you can learn from a map. It comes from years of working in these streets, on these properties, and with these communities.
Bournemouth’s position on the coast is one of its greatest assets as a place to live, but it does affect electrical installations. Any outdoor electrical work — EV chargers, security lighting, CCTV cameras, garden electrics — needs to account for the salt-laden air that accelerates corrosion. We specify stainless steel fixings and IP-rated enclosures as standard for all coastal installations, and we use marine-grade cable glands and connectors where exposure is significant. This attention to detail means our outdoor installations last years longer than those done with standard inland-specification components.
We keep our pricing transparent and competitive. Here are some of our most commonly requested services for Bournemouth properties:
All prices include materials, labour, full testing, and NICEIC certification. We provide written, itemised quotes with no hidden extras.
