Electrical services in Wimborne

Wimborne’s housing is a real mix, and each type brings its own electrical needs. The older period and character properties around the Minster and the town centre often have ageing wiring and outdated fuse boxes that need careful, sympathetic updating; the modern estates at Merley, Leigh Park and Cranborne Road are more straightforward but frequently want extra sockets, EV chargers and lighting; and the rural homes out towards Pamphill and Corfe Mullen sometimes need three-phase or agricultural work. We handle all of it:

  • Rewires and partial rewires — including careful work in Wimborne’s older and period properties
  • Consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades — modern RCD/RCBO protection replacing old fuse boxes
  • EICRs and landlord safety certificates — for homeowners, landlords and Wimborne’s town-centre businesses
  • Fault-finding and repairs — tracing tripping circuits, dead sockets and intermittent faults
  • EV charger installation — home chargers across Wimborne and Merley
  • Solar PV and battery storage — through our DES Renewables team
  • Extra sockets, lighting and outdoor power — kitchens, garden rooms, garages and driveways
  • CCTV, alarms and smart-home wiring — for homes and commercial premises

Areas we cover around Wimborne

Our Ferndown base is inside the BH21 Wimborne postcode, so the whole town and its surrounding villages are minutes away. As well as Wimborne Minster itself, we regularly work in Colehill, Merley, Pamphill, Corfe Mullen, Stapehill, Broadstone, Ferndown and out across the wider East Dorset and BH postcodes.

Why Wimborne customers choose DES

Being based right next to the town — in the BH21 postcode — means we reach Wimborne quickly and know the local property stock well, from listed and period homes that need a careful hand to the newer estates. 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 respects your home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an electrician in Wimborne 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 starts.

Do you work on period and listed properties in Wimborne?

Yes. Wimborne has plenty of older and character homes, and we’re used to rewiring and upgrading them sympathetically — keeping disruption and damage to a minimum while bringing the electrics safely up to standard.

Do you carry out landlord EICRs in Wimborne?

Yes. We carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for landlords and homeowners across Wimborne and East Dorset, 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 offer emergency electrical call-outs in Wimborne?

We do. Because we’re based right next door in the BH21 postcode, we can usually reach Wimborne emergencies quickly — a loss of power, a burning smell from a socket, or a circuit that keeps tripping.

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 Wimborne: what makes local work different

Wimborne is effectively home turf for us — our Ferndown base shares the town’s BH21 postcode, so we’re often only a few minutes away. That local knowledge counts for a lot here, because Wimborne’s housing is so varied. The period cottages and townhouses around the Minster need an electrician who’ll treat an old building with respect, work neatly around original features, and understand where decades-old wiring tends to fail. The modern estates at Merley and Leigh Park are a different job again, and the rural properties towards Pamphill different still. Being genuinely local means we can pop back easily if you have a question, we’re not adding travel time onto your quote, and we’ve built a reputation across Wimborne and East Dorset that we care about protecting.

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.
