Electrical services in Christchurch

Christchurch is a real mix of coastal and period property, and a good deal of the town’s housing — particularly its many bungalows and older homes near the town centre and the water — is now at the age where the original consumer unit and wiring want attention. Coastal and estuary locations bring their own considerations too, from damp to outdoor power. Whatever your property, we handle it:

  • Rewires and partial rewires — updating ageing wiring in Christchurch’s older homes and bungalows
  • Consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades and replacements — one of our most-requested jobs in Christchurch, replacing old fuse boxes with modern RCD/RCBO protection
  • EICRs and landlord safety certificates — for homeowners, landlords and local businesses
  • Fault-finding and repairs — tracing tripping circuits, dead sockets and intermittent faults
  • Alarm, CCTV and security installation — popular with Christchurch’s coastal and retirement properties
  • EV charger installation — home chargers for Christchurch’s electric-car drivers
  • Solar PV and battery storage — through our DES Renewables team
  • Extra sockets, lighting and outdoor power — kitchens, garden rooms, garages and gardens

Areas we cover around Christchurch

As well as Christchurch itself, we regularly work in Highcliffe, Mudeford, Friars Cliff, Burton, Somerford, Purewell, Jumpers, Stanpit and out towards Bournemouth and the wider BH postcodes.

Why Christchurch customers choose DES

We know Christchurch’s housing well — the period and coastal homes that need a careful, knowledgeable approach, and the many bungalows where an ageing fuse box or tired wiring is the most common job we’re called out for. We’re NAPIT-approved and work to the BS 7671 wiring regulations, every job is fully certified, and we’re rated 5 out of 5 by our customers. You’ll always get a clear, fixed quote before we start, tidy workmanship, and a team that treats your home with respect.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an electrician in Christchurch cost?

It depends on the job, but we always give you a fixed price up front — no hourly surprises. Smaller jobs like extra sockets or a light fitting can be quoted quickly; larger work such as a rewire, fuse board upgrade or EICR is quoted after a short look at the property. Just ask and we’ll give you a clear figure before any work begins.

Do you replace consumer units and fuse boards in Christchurch?

Yes — it’s one of the jobs we’re asked for most in Christchurch. We replace old, unprotected fuse boxes with a modern consumer unit giving proper RCD/RCBO protection, tested and certified on completion.

Do you carry out landlord EICRs in Christchurch?

Yes. We carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords and homeowners across Christchurch and the surrounding area, with a clear report and any remedial work quoted separately. Rented homes in England need a valid EICR at least every five years.

Are your electricians certified?

Yes — we’re NAPIT-approved and every installation is carried out to BS 7671, with the appropriate certificate issued on completion and notified to Building Control where required.

Do you install alarms and CCTV in Christchurch?

We do — intruder alarms, CCTV and video doorbells are popular with Christchurch homeowners, and we install and wire them alongside our electrical work.

What Our Clients Think

We couldn't have wished for better customer service and workmanship. The installation went without a hitch and they have continued to provide support and answer all our questions.

Clare Hentrich

Had an PIV installed in loft with output in hallway. Engineer was excellent and very helpful. He worked really well and the work he did looks very professional. We discussed location of isolator switch and engineer was happy to meet our requirements. Would recommend for both quality and price.

Dave Allwright

From first contact, through quoting and adjustments thereto to completion of the works I have nothing but praise for DES Ltd. They communicate clearly, are practical, hard-working and work to high standards. I recommend them highly.

Nicholas Knollys

Jason delivered an extensive and complex refurbishment, diplomatically working with builders and contractors who perpetually changed an agreed schedule. Despite other people's delays Jason was flexible, proactive and completed our 5 bedroom project bang on his quote to the highest possible standard. A great experience.

Tony de Reya

DES carried out 3 jobs fitting a PIV unit, bathroom fan extractor and EV charger. From initial request through the website the team quoted through a quick house visit and gave a really good price for the work. Some great advise was also given regarding the PIV unit and condensation issues. All jobs carried out to a high standard and all mess cleaned up straight away. Highly recommend!

Jon Kersey

My experience with Dorset Electricial Solutions was friendly, professional and great attention to detail was shown at all stages of the job. I was really impressed with how efficiently but also how quickly the work was carried out. Thank you so much, I'm delighted!

Electricians in Christchurch: what makes local work different

Christchurch has a character all its own — the period homes and cottages around the Priory and the Quay, the coastal and estuary properties towards Mudeford and Friars Cliff, and the many retirement bungalows spread across the town. Each brings different electrical needs, and knowing the local housing stock means we turn up prepared. Coastal properties can suffer more from damp and outdoor wear, older bungalows often have decades-old fuse boxes and too few sockets, and period homes need a careful hand. Being a local Dorset firm rather than a national call-centre operation means you deal with the people actually doing the work, we’re not adding long travel times onto your quote, and we’ve built a reputation across Christchurch and the wider area that we genuinely care about protecting.
