Local knowledge: Aldershot
Aldershot Housing and Electrical Needs
Aldershot is around 10 minutes from our base in Church Crookham, and it is one of the towns where we work most frequently. The town has a distinctive character shaped by its military history, with a housing stock that ranges from pre-war terraces and 1930s semis in the older parts of town to the modern developments around Wellesley and the former military land. We know the area well and understand the electrical challenges that come with each type of property.
Town Centre and Military Quarter (Grosvenor Road, Victoria Road, Hospital Hill)
The older properties around the town centre, the military quarter, and the streets off Grosvenor Road, Victoria Road, and Hospital Hill are where we see the most demand for rewiring and fuseboard upgrades. Many of these homes were built in the late 19th and early 20th century and still have original or 1960s-era wiring. The cloth-insulated cables, old rewirable fuse boxes, and inadequate earthing arrangements we find in these properties do not meet current safety standards.
A consumer unit upgrade is often the most impactful improvement we can make.
Wellesley and New Development Areas
The Wellesley development on the former military land has been one of our busiest areas for EV charger installations. These modern properties have integral garages or good-sized driveways, modern consumer units with spare capacity, and relatively short cable runs – making EV charger installation quick and straightforward. We also install smart home systems, additional sockets for home offices, and garden lighting across the Wellesley estate.
North Town, Aldershot Park, Manor Park
The residential areas around North Town and Manor Park have a mix of 1950s–70s housing that generates steady demand for fuseboard upgrades, partial rewires, additional socket work, and LED lighting. The original wiring in many of these homes is now 50–70 years old and lacks RCD protection.
Aldershot Rental Market
Aldershot has a significant rental market, driven partly by the proximity to the military garrison and partly by the relative affordability compared to neighbouring Fleet and Farnham. Landlords in Aldershot are among our most regular customers for EICR inspections, the 2020 regulations require a valid EICR for every rental property, renewed every five years.
We offer a portfolio service for landlords managing multiple properties, scheduling inspections on a rolling basis so you never fall out of compliance. We also handle any remedial work required and issue the updated certificate.
