What Dorset Customers Say
Recent callouts, in their own words.
“Whole cottage lost power late at night. He drove out to us and still arrived within the hour, found a failed junction in the roof space and sorted it there and then.”
“Our board kept tripping and nobody could find why. They tested the supply right out to the barn and traced it to a cable that had been buried too shallow years ago.”
“Holiday let that had stood empty since October greeted us with a dead board. They sorted it before the first guests arrived and sent photos through.”
“Thatched cottage and I was nervous about the wiring near the roof. They checked the whole route, not just the fitting, and explained exactly what needed doing.”
“Outside sockets kept tripping the house every time the weather turned. Salt had got into the terminals. Found and fixed in one visit.”
“Shop lost power an hour before opening. Someone arrived quickly despite the distance and we traded on time. Invoice matched the quote exactly.”
Old Cottages, Long Lanes and Properties Empty Half the Year
Dorset is mostly countryside and coast, which means older buildings, longer journeys and a great many properties that stand unused for weeks at a time.
Thatch, cob and stone cottages across the county limit where cable can run and raise real fire risk around older wiring. Farms and rural homes sit at the end of supplies that travel hundreds of metres underground to barns and outbuildings, so the fault is rarely where the symptom appears. And along the coast from Lyme Regis to Swanage, salt and damp work on holiday lets and second homes that nobody has switched on since the autumn. Knowing which of the three a call is coming from decides what goes in the van.
- Thatch, cob and listed property
- Farms, barns and long supplies
- Holiday lets and second homes
- Certificates issued the same day
Questions From Dorset Callers
If what you are seeing is not here, phone and ask. It costs nothing to check.
Call 01202080221How quickly can you reach me in Dorset? +
It depends where you are, and we tell you honestly on the call rather than quoting a town time for a farm. The larger towns usually see us within half an hour, while villages out on the chalk or along the western coast can be forty to sixty minutes.
Is there a travel charge for rural addresses? +
No. A cottage twenty minutes down a single-track lane costs the same call-out as a house in Dorchester. One figure agreed before we set off, with nothing added for mileage.
Is there a call-out charge at night or on a Sunday? +
The price is the same whatever the hour. No night rate, no weekend surcharge and no bank holiday premium. You hear the figure before we set off and it does not change when we arrive.
Can you work on thatched, cob and listed cottages? +
Yes, and they need a different hand. Thatch and old timber raise genuine fire risk around ageing wiring, junction boxes and downlights, so we inspect the route a cable takes rather than only the fitting at the end of it.
Do you attend farms and agricultural buildings? +
Yes. Three-phase supplies, long underground runs to barns, milking parlours and generator changeover gear are routine across the county. On a farm the fault is rarely where the symptom shows, so we test the run end to end.
Can you look after a holiday let or second home while I am away? +
Yes. We attend for owners and letting agents, can work while the property is empty, and send photos and certificates digitally the same day so you do not need to travel down.
