Local knowledge: Crowthorne
Crowthorne Housing and Electrical Needs
Crowthorne is a Berkshire village about 20 minutes from our Fleet base, sitting between Sandhurst and Bracknell. While it is at the edge of our standard coverage area, we work there regularly and know the village well. Crowthorne has a well-established residential character with some of the larger, older properties in our coverage area – homes that often need the most comprehensive electrical work.
Edgbarrow, Dukes Ride, and the Larger Properties
The houses around Broadmoor, Wellington College, and the roads off Dukes Ride tend to be larger detached properties from the 1930s–60s. Many have had relatively little electrical updating since they were built and need comprehensive work – full or partial rewires, consumer unit replacements, upgrades to bring the earthing and bonding up to current standards, and modernisation of the socket and lighting provision. These are substantial jobs that we enjoy taking on – the properties have character and the results are transformative.
Crowthorne Village Centre (High Street, Waterloo Road)
The village centre has a mix of inter-war and post-war housing along the High Street, Waterloo Road, and surrounding streets. The electrical needs here are typical of housing of this age – fuseboard upgrades, additional sockets, rewiring of specific circuits, and EICR inspections. Many properties have had some updating over the years but still have original elements that need replacing.
Newer Housing and Modern Additions
The more modern infill developments and recently extended properties around Crowthorne generate demand for EV charger installations, LED lighting, smart home systems, and additional circuits for extensions, loft conversions, and garden rooms. These jobs are typically quicker and more straightforward than the work on older properties.
Commercial Crowthorne
The proximity to the TRL (Transport Research Laboratory) site and Wellington College occasionally brings commercial electrical enquiries. We provide commercial maintenance, LED lighting, and testing services to businesses in the Crowthorne area.
