Electrical in Crawley
Electrical services cover rewiring, consumer unit replacement, new circuits, socket and lighting additions and general electrical repairs in the home, carried out by electricians qualified to BS 7671 (the UK wiring regulations) and certified through a competent person scheme.
In Crawley, that covers Ifield, Three Bridges, Southgate, Furnace Green, Broadfield, Pound Hill, Maidenbower, Northgate, West Green, Langley Green, Tilgate, Gossops Green, Bewbush. Crawley combines postwar new-town neighbourhoods with older pockets around Ifield, Three Bridges and Southgate, and sits close to Gatwick Airport with strong transport links into London and along the M23. Housing stock ranges from 1950s–70s estate homes to Victorian terraces and more recent developments, which means project requirements vary considerably from one street to the next.
Coverage
Areas we cover in Crawley for electrical
Property styles in Crawley
Crawley's housing mix includes postwar semis and terraces across the New Town neighbourhoods, Victorian and Edwardian houses around the older Ifield and Southgate areas, and newer estate housing on the town's edges. Many properties are well suited to rear or side-return extensions where garden depth allows, and loft conversions are common in the older stock.
Planning considerations
Crawley Borough Council is the local planning authority. Ifield village and parts of the old town centre fall within conservation areas, which affects permitted development rights and materials on visible elevations. Properties near Gatwick Airport may also be subject to safeguarding or noise-related planning considerations, which we check at feasibility stage.

FAQs
Electrical in Crawley: FAQs
Do you provide electrical across all of Crawley?
Yes, we cover the RH10 and RH11 postcode areas in full, including Ifield, Three Bridges, Southgate, Furnace Green, Broadfield, Pound Hill, Maidenbower, Northgate, West Green, Langley Green, Tilgate, Gossops Green, Bewbush.
Do I need Building Control approval for electrical work?
Notifiable work — such as a full rewire, a new circuit, or a consumer unit change — must be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations. A registered electrician can self-certify this through a competent person scheme rather than a separate Building Control application.
How often should a consumer unit be replaced?
There's no fixed replacement interval, but an old fuse box without RCD protection is a common finding on an EICR and is usually recommended for upgrade. We assess the existing unit as part of any electrical survey.
Do you cover both RH10 and RH11 in Crawley?
Yes, we work across both postcode areas, including the town centre, Ifield, Three Bridges, Southgate, Furnace Green and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
