Electrical services in Ferndown

Ferndown grew quickly through the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and a large share of the town’s homes — particularly its many bungalows and retirement properties — are now reaching the age where the original consumer unit and wiring are due for attention. That’s the bread and butter of what we do. Whether you’re in a town-centre bungalow, a family home off Wimborne Road East, or a newer property towards the edges of town, our electricians handle it all:

  • Rewires and partial rewires — updating ageing wiring in Ferndown’s older bungalows and estate homes
  • Consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades — replacing old fuse boxes with modern RCD/RCBO protection
  • EICRs and landlord safety certificates — for homeowners, landlords and the estate’s businesses
  • Fault-finding and repairs — tracing tripping circuits, dead sockets and intermittent faults
  • EV charger installation — home chargers for Ferndown’s growing number of electric-car drivers
  • Solar PV and battery storage — through our DES Renewables team
  • Extra sockets, lighting and outdoor power — kitchens, garden offices, garages and driveways
  • CCTV, alarms and smart-home wiring — for homes and commercial units alike

Areas we cover around Ferndown

We’re based on the Ferndown Industrial Estate, so the whole town and its surrounding villages are right on our doorstep. As well as Ferndown itself, we regularly work in West Parley, Longham, Stapehill, Tricketts Cross, Ameysford, Dudsbury, West Moors, Wimborne, Colehill and Verwood — and across the wider East Dorset and BH postcodes.

Why Ferndown customers choose DES

Being based in the town gives us a genuine head start: our vans begin the day on the estate, so we’re often the fastest to reach Ferndown homes and businesses — which matters when you’ve lost power or need a fault sorted quickly. 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 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 Ferndown cost?

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

Do you carry out landlord EICRs in Ferndown?

Yes. We carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords and homeowners across Ferndown and East Dorset, with a clear report and any remedial work quoted separately so you can decide how to proceed. 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 offer emergency electrical call-outs?

We do. Because we’re based in Ferndown, we can usually reach local emergencies quickly — whether it’s a total loss of power, a burning smell from a socket, or a fault that keeps tripping your consumer unit.

Do you install EV chargers and solar panels in Ferndown?

Yes. We install home EV chargers and, through our DES Renewables team, solar PV and battery storage — increasingly popular with Ferndown homeowners looking to cut their running costs.

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 Ferndown: what makes local work different

Ferndown isn’t just an area we cover — it’s home. Our office and vans are on the Ferndown Industrial Estate, so we know the town’s housing inside out: the streets of post-war bungalows around the centre, the 1970s and 80s estates off Wimborne Road, and the newer builds towards West Parley and Longham. A lot of these homes share the same electrical story — original fuse boxes, early PVC or rubber wiring, and nowhere near enough sockets for how families live today. Being genuinely local means we can pop back easily if you have a question after a job, we’re not adding travel time onto your quote, and we’ve built a reputation here we care about protecting. When your neighbours recommend an electrician in Ferndown, there’s a good chance they’re recommending us.

Why CCTV pays off

Five ways a system protects your business

Protects against burglary

Visible cameras are a powerful deterrent — intruders are far less likely to target a property they know is recorded.

Prevents employee theft

A culture of accountability and transparency, with the presence of cameras discouraging dishonest practices.

Deters shoplifting

Real-time monitoring lets staff spot and address suspicious behaviour, with footage that stands up as evidence.

24/7 peace of mind

Continuous surveillance you can check any time from your phone — instant awareness of anything unusual.

Lowers vandalism risk

Knowing an area is monitored discourages criminal damage — protecting your premises and your bottom line.
