Rickman Electrical Services Ltd covers Dorking and the surrounding villages. Dorking sits beneath the North Downs, and much of its housing is Victorian and Edwardian, with a good deal of it inside the Surrey Hills National Landscape or a conservation area. Older properties in Dorking often carry wiring from several different decades in the same house, so the first job is usually working out what is actually there before anything is changed. We are fully insured and NAPIT-registered, and every job is tested and certified before we leave.
Much of our work in Dorking is on period homes where circuits have been extended piecemeal over the years. We trace what is there, tell you plainly what is safe to keep and what is not, and stage the work so you are not without power longer than necessary. More on our electrical work.
Landlords in Dorking often hold older stock, and an EICR on a house with mixed-age wiring throws up more than a modern build would. We set out the findings in order of what genuinely needs doing, and we can carry out the remedials and retest rather than handing you a list and leaving. More on our landlord certificates.
Dorking's High Street and the trading estates off Curtis Road keep us busy with shops, offices and small industrial units. We work around opening hours where we can, and we are used to premises where the landlord and the tenant each own part of the installation. More on our commercial electrician.
Consumer units in Dorking's older houses are frequently the original rewireable type. A modern board with RCBOs means a fault trips one circuit rather than the whole house, which matters more in a property with a lot of separate circuits. More on our fuseboard installation.
Driveway charge points across Dorking are usually straightforward, but properties on the slopes towards Ranmore and Box Hill sometimes need a longer cable run or a supply upgrade. We check the incoming supply before quoting so the price does not move. More on our EV charging.
A full rewire in a period Dorking property is as much about protecting the building as the wiring. We lift and replace flooring carefully, work with original features rather than through them, and agree the route of every cable before we start. More on our house rewiring.
Smart lighting and heating control in a Dorking home with thick solid walls needs the network planned properly, not added as an afterthought. We install systems that still work when the internet does not. More on our smart home automation.
Gardens in Dorking often run to length and slope, and lighting has to respect the darker skies of the Surrey Hills. We design outdoor schemes that light what you need without spilling across the boundary. More on our outdoor lighting.
We are a small team, so the electrician who quotes the job is the one who does it. Work in Dorking is carried out to BS 7671 and certified, notifiable work is registered with Mole Valley District Council through our NAPIT membership, and we leave the property as we found it. If something is not right afterwards, we come back and put it right.
