Qualified electricians for Portsmouth's terraces, HMOs, shops and offices, covering Southsea, Fratton, North End and Cosham.
Portsmouth is one of the most densely built cities in the country, and much of it is made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas such as Southsea, Fratton and North End. Many of these homes have been altered over the years and some have been converted into flats. That can leave a mix of wiring ages under one roof, so careful testing matters.
Being close to the sea also matters. Salt air can be hard on outdoor sockets, lights and metal fittings, especially in Southsea. We use suitably rated outdoor equipment and check existing fittings for corrosion.
With the University of Portsmouth and a large private rented market, many homes here are shared. Landlords must have the installation inspected at least every five years, and larger HMOs need a licence with its own conditions. Check the current requirements with Portsmouth City Council. Our landlord EICR service in Portsmouth gives you a clear report and a separate estimate for any remedial work.
Shared homes usually have more appliances in use and more people relying on the same circuits. If your fuse board is dated, or you are adding bedrooms or a kitchen, it is a good time to check that the installation can cope. Fire alarm and emergency lighting requirements can apply in some shared homes as well, so ask us if you are not sure what you need.
From Commercial Road and Albert Road to the offices at Lakeside North Harbour, Portsmouth businesses cannot afford to be closed. Our commercial electricians in Portsmouth handle repairs, lighting, fire alarms, emergency lighting and fixed wire testing for Portsmouth businesses. Restaurants and takeaways along Southsea's busy streets often need extra attention because of the demand from kitchen equipment.
Rewiring a narrow terrace takes planning. Floorboards, stairs and long, thin rooms all shape the route cables can take, and limited parking on many streets is worth talking about up front. It is usually easiest while the property is empty or between tenants, and before you decorate. We will agree the routes and sequence with you first and put the price in writing.
Many large houses in Southsea and around the city have been divided into flats, which raises questions about who is responsible for what. Each flat usually has its own installation, while the hallways, stairs and shared lighting form a separate landlord's supply. If you manage a building, it is worth making sure that the communal supply is inspected and that any emergency lighting and fire alarm systems are tested and recorded.
Any of these are good reasons to arrange a check, whether you live in the property or let it out.

I’m very happy with the service provided by the two workers who came to my shop a few days ago for a routine inspection. Both were professional, friendly, and polite. They carried out the checks carefully and efficiently, and everything went smoothly. Great service from both of them. Highly recommended!
Great work from this electrician. All installations were completed safely to a high standard. He was polite, thoughtful and gave good attention to details. Pricing was fair and reasonable. I would happily use his services again and recommend him to others.
Excellent service, competitive price. Strongly recommended.
Dushi Electrical was very professional and friendly. He came on time and on a Saturday which was really great as my whole bathroom light and fittings needed replacing so I could safely shower. I have used Dushi Electrical a couple of times and they have been consistantly great. I would recommend them to anyone.
I was very impressed with the level of service and courtesy of Lorenc when I contacted him regarding a small job on my Consumer Unit. He responded swiftly, kept me informed, turned up on time and did a neat and tidy job for a reasonable cost. I would happily use him again.

Yes. Private rented homes, including HMOs, need an inspection at least every five years. Check with Portsmouth City Council for any licensing conditions that also apply.
A dedicated home charger normally needs off-street parking, because a cable should not trail across a pavement. Tell us about your parking and we will advise.
Along the coast, we also work as a Fareham electrician and an electrician in Hedge End, and we are based in Southampton.
