Farnborough Housing and Electrical Needs

Farnborough is a 10-minute drive from our Fleet base, and the town's combination of residential housing and a strong commercial sector keeps us working there regularly. Best known internationally for the Farnborough International Airshow and its aerospace industry, the town also has thriving business parks and a diverse residential population that ranges from 1930s suburbs to brand-new housing.

Farnborough North (Station Area, Farnborough Street, Prospect Road)

The streets around Farnborough North station have a concentration of 1930s and post-war semis that frequently need electrical upgrading. These properties were built with wiring standards that are now 80–90 years out of date. We commonly find rewirable fuse boxes, absence of RCD protection, deteriorated rubber-sheathed cables, and circuits that have been extended over the decades without proper testing. Fuseboard upgrades, partial rewires, and EICR inspections are our most common jobs in this area.

South Farnborough and Empress Estate

South Farnborough has more modern housing from the 1970s onwards, including the Empress estate and surrounding streets. The wiring in these properties is generally in better condition but is now approaching 40–50 years old. Consumer unit upgrades, additional sockets, LED lighting, and EV charger installations are the most common requests here.

Cove and West Farnborough

Cove has an interesting mix – 1950s–70s council-built properties alongside newer private developments. The older council housing often needs significant electrical work: rewiring, fuseboard upgrades, and additional sockets to replace the minimal original provision (many of these homes were built with one or two sockets per room). The newer properties nearby are requesting smart home installations, EV chargers, and garden lighting.

Commercial Farnborough

Farnborough Business Park, IQ Farnborough, and Southwood Business Park generate consistent demand for commercial electrical services. We provide planned maintenance contracts, LED lighting upgrades (most offices are still running on fluorescent panels that cost significantly more to run than LED), data cabling for office moves and expansions, and commercial EICR testing. We hold NICEIC Approved Contractor status for commercial work.
