Our electricians in Lytham St Annes
Lytham St Annes is the far south of our patch, twenty-five minutes from Poulton around the Blackpool side or down Preston New Road and across through Wrea Green. We have had customers in Lytham since our second year of trading, many of them on their second or third house with us, and St Annes has grown into a steady part of the week through the hotels and the medical practices.
Dust sheets, a hoover round, and a tidy board with every circuit labelled are the standard here, not an extra.
Homes in Lytham St Annes
Lytham’s older streets are the handsomest on the coast and the hardest work. The Victorian villas on West Beach, along Church Road and around the Green have high ceilings, deep skirting, original cornicing and wiring that cannot be chased without care. Many were rewired in the 1970s and 1980s with the consumer unit tucked into a cellar or a pantry, and that is the generation of work now coming to the end of its life. Ansdell and Fairhaven have the Edwardian semis and large detached houses with coach houses, garages and long gardens, where garden power, EV chargers and lighting to the drive are everyday jobs.
St Annes has a wider mix: the big houses around the Square and along Clifton Drive, the post-war estates towards Heyhouses, and a large number of flats, both purpose-built blocks along the seafront and conversions of former hotels and nursing homes. Flats bring landlord certificates, shared landlord supplies, and the question of who owns which cable in the riser. Near the front the salt air corrodes external fittings and meter cabinets on Clifton Drive and the roads behind it.
Work we do most in Lytham St Annes
Rewires of period houses are what Lytham asks of us most. We rewire villas with the decoration in mind, taking the plaster off in the places that matter and leaving the cornice alone, and we plan the job with the decorator so nothing is done twice.
A consumer unit upgrade is the usual first step when a house changes hands and the survey flags an old board. We fit a metal unit with RCBOs and a surge protection device.
EV chargers are busy across Ansdell, Fairhaven and the St Annes side, and the longer drives here mean the cable run is sometimes past the standard allowance; we tell you that in the quote, not afterwards.
EICRs and landlord certificates keep us in the St Annes flats and in the lets above the shops on Clifton Street and Park Road. Outdoor power and lighting for the bigger gardens in Lytham and Fairhaven, and hot tub supplies with the armoured cable run properly in the ground, round out the year.
Commercial work in Lytham St Annes
St Annes is where our commercial work is most specialised. We look after several dental and medical practices in the town and along Clifton Drive, where inspection and testing has to fit around clinic hours and the surgery equipment has its own rules for supplies and isolation. We fitted out a new dental practice in Lytham in 2024 from the first fix to the final certificate. The hotels on the seafront and around the Square rely on us for emergency lighting and fire alarm testing and for PAT testing of the hundreds of portable appliances a hotel accumulates. Lytham’s shops on Clifton Street and the restaurants on the Green are a steady round of fit-outs and periodic inspections.
