Farnham Housing and Electrical Needs

Farnham is a historic Surrey market town about 20 minutes south of Fleet via the A31. The town has a particular character that sets it apart from other towns in our coverage area – a concentration of Georgian, Victorian, and listed buildings in the town centre surrounded by more typical suburban housing in the outer areas. We are experienced with both and understand the very different electrical approaches they require.

Town Centre and Period Properties (Castle Street, The Borough, West Street)

Farnham's town centre has a concentration of Georgian, Victorian, and listed properties that need careful electrical work. Rewires in these buildings require a different approach – lath-and-plaster walls that crumble when chased, floor voids filled with rubble, wiring routes constrained by solid stone walls and ornamental cornicing, and the need to work sympathetically with the building's character. We will always discuss the cable route with you before we start and find the most discreet path for each run. Fuseboard upgrades in period properties also need careful planning – the consumer unit position may be constrained by the building's layout.

Weybourne, Hale, and Upper Hale

Beyond the town centre, Farnham spreads into suburban housing around Weybourne, Hale, Upper Hale, and the Badshot Lea area. These neighbourhoods have a mix of inter-war semis, 1960s–70s estates, and more recent infill development. The electrical needs here are similar to those we see across our coverage area – fuseboard upgrades for properties with old consumer units, additional sockets, LED lighting, EV charger installations on properties with driveways, and EICR inspections.

Wrecclesham, Rowledge, and Boundstone

The villages to the south and east of Farnham – Wrecclesham, Rowledge, and Boundstone – have larger properties with gardens and driveways that generate demand for EV charger installations, garden lighting schemes, and outbuilding wiring. Many of these homes also have south or west-facing roofs suitable for solar PV.

Farnham Rental Market

The University for the Creative Arts campus brings a student rental market to Farnham, and landlords with properties near the university are among our regular EICR customers. The 2020 regulations require a valid EICR for every rental property. We carry out inspections, handle any remedial work, and issue the updated certificate. For landlords with multiple properties, we schedule inspections on a rolling basis.
