Qualified Electrician in Leicester, 25+ Years of Electrical Experience Behind Every Job
With 25+ years of electrical experience covering domestic, commercial, and industrial work, Solsure Electrical brings a depth of technical grounding to every job in Leicester that goes well beyond what most local sole traders can offer. That experience spans sectors including mining, aerospace, marine, and water industries, environments where electrical work has zero tolerance for shortcuts. When you’re hiring an electrician in Leicester, that background matters because it means the person assessing your property isn’t working from a template. They’re working from experience.
25+ years of electrical experience is not just a number to put on a website. It means Scott Mather, the owner, has encountered edge cases, non-standard installations, and aging infrastructure that a less experienced operative would simply flag as a problem and walk away from. That directly affects what you get as a Leicester homeowner or business owner, practical solutions rather than excuses.
Why Leicester Homeowners and Businesses Choose Solsure Electrical
- Scott Mather brings 25+ years of multi-sector electrical experience, spanning industrial environments like mining, aerospace, and marine. That technical standard doesn’t get left at the door when the job is a domestic consumer unit upgrade or a commercial rewire in Leicester. What you get is industrial-grade rigour applied to every scale of work.
- Part P compliance means your work is properly documented and legally protected, not just finished and forgotten. Electrical work on a property that isn’t notified under Part P of the Building Regulations creates problems at the point of sale or remortgage. We handle the compliance so it doesn’t come back to bite you months or years later.
- We’re not a call centre patching through a distant contractor, Scott is the person you speak to, the person who surveys your property, and the person who does the work. That continuity matters, particularly for more complex jobs where the detail uncovered during a survey has to be carried through to installation.
- Leicester’s mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis, and 1960s commercial stock each present distinct wiring challenges, older rubber-insulated cables, undersized consumer units, and non-standard earthing arrangements are common in this city’s building stock. We’ve worked across all of it. That specific pattern of Leicester properties is exactly why our cross-sector experience translates so directly into practical local knowledge.
- Word travels fast in Leicester. Our reputation is built entirely on referrals and reviews from people who’ve seen the work first-hand.
What We Know About Electrician Services in Leicester, Local Expertise, Not Theory
Leicester’s housing stock is one of the most varied in the East Midlands. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces concentrated in areas like Clarendon Park, Stoneygate, and West End frequently present legacy wiring that hasn’t been touched in decades, sometimes original rubber-insulated cable that is now a genuine fire risk. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), which assesses the safety and condition of your existing installation, is often the single most important first step for any Leicester homeowner in an older property. It tells you what you’re actually dealing with before any remedial work is planned.
Commercial properties across Leicester’s city centre and industrial corridors, from the Fosse Park retail area to the older workshop units around Aylestone Road, often carry a different set of challenges. Three-phase supplies, aging distribution boards, and tenant fit-out work done without proper sign-off create layered compliance issues. We’ve worked in commercial and industrial environments at a level of technical complexity that makes Leicester’s commercial stock entirely manageable. The difference between an electrician who has only ever worked on domestic properties and one who has worked in aerospace and marine environments is significant, and you feel it in the quality of the diagnosis.
Beyond EICRs and consumer unit replacements, Leicester’s growing density of home extensions and conversions means demand for additional circuits, upgraded distribution boards, and garden building supplies has risen sharply. These are jobs that look straightforward on the surface but can expose earthing inadequacies or undersized service cables that need addressing before the new circuit can be safely added. Getting that assessment right at the start is what prevents costly rework later.
How Our Electrician Service Works in Leicester
- Initial contact and scoping, You call or submit our contact form. Scott reviews your enquiry directly and asks the right questions upfront, so the site visit is purposeful rather than a generic walk-round. No middleman, no handoff.
- Property survey and condition assessment, We attend the property and assess the existing installation. For older Leicester properties, this step often uncovers legacy wiring or earthing issues that affect how the job needs to be approached. The survey informs everything that follows.
- Clear written quotation, You receive a detailed quote covering the specific scope of work. No vague estimates. If additional work is required based on what the survey found, that’s explained clearly before anything is agreed.
- Scheduled installation or remedial work, The work is carried out to the agreed specification, with attention to both technical compliance and the practical reality of working in an occupied property or active business premises.
- Testing, certification, and Building Regulations notification, All completed electrical work is tested to the current edition of the Wiring Regulations, and where required under Part P, properly notified. You receive the relevant certificates, documentation that protects you legally and financially at any future point of sale or refinancing.
- Post-completion walkthrough, We walk through the completed work with you, explain what was done and why, and confirm you’re satisfied before we leave. No assumptions, no rushed exit.
Commercial and Industrial Electrical Experience That Raises the Standard
Most electricians in Leicester operate primarily in the domestic sector. That’s entirely legitimate work, but it does mean their frame of reference is limited to the relatively forgiving environment of residential installations. Solsure Electrical’s background is different. Scott Mather’s 25+ years of experience spans some of the most technically demanding industrial environments that exist, mining, aerospace, marine, and water treatment. These are sectors where electrical failures don’t just mean an inconvenience. They mean safety incidents, production shutdowns, and regulatory consequences.
That level of technical discipline transfers directly to the commercial and industrial jobs we take on in Leicester. An electrical installation in a food production unit, a warehouse, or a multi-tenanted commercial building carries its own compliance pressures. We approach that work with the same methodical rigour that industrial environments demand. For Leicester businesses looking for an electrician who can read a technical drawing, understand three-phase distribution, and deliver compliant work first time, that background is directly relevant. We also serve customers looking for an solar panel installation in Leicester, same technical standards, same attention to compliance detail.

Frequently Asked Questions, Electrician Services in Leicester
Do I need an EICR before electrical work is carried out on my Leicester property?
Not always, but it’s often the most sensible starting point, particularly in older Leicester properties. An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) tells us the current condition of your existing wiring and earthing before any new circuits or upgrades are added. For Victorian and inter-war properties that are common across Clarendon Park, Stoneygate, and similar areas, the results frequently affect how additional work needs to be scoped. Landlords in Leicester are legally required to hold a valid EICR for rental properties, renewed every five years.
What does Part P compliance mean and why does it matter to me as a Leicester homeowner?
Part P of the Building Regulations requires that certain electrical work in domestic properties in England is either carried out or certified by a competent person, and in some cases formally notified to the local authority. Work that isn’t properly notified or certified can create significant problems when you come to sell or remortgage your property, buyers’ solicitors routinely ask for electrical certificates, and missing documentation can hold up or collapse a sale. We handle the notification and certification process as standard, so you have the paperwork that protects you.
Do you carry out consumer unit replacements in Leicester?
Yes. Consumer unit replacement is one of the most common jobs we carry out across Leicester. Modern metal consumer units with RCDs and RCBOs provide a significantly higher level of protection than older plastic units, particularly for properties with aging circuits. The replacement process involves isolating the supply, replacing the unit, reconnecting and testing all circuits, and issuing the relevant completion certificate. For many older Leicester properties, it’s also the point at which earthing arrangements are properly assessed for the first time in years.
Are you able to carry out commercial electrical work in Leicester as well as domestic?
Yes, commercial and industrial electrical work is a core part of what we do, not an afterthought. Scott Mather’s background spans industries including aerospace, marine, and water treatment, which demands a level of technical competence well above domestic-only experience. For Leicester businesses, whether in retail, food production, warehousing, or office environments, we can handle distribution board upgrades, new circuit installation, testing and inspection, and compliance documentation. We assess commercial projects with the same methodical approach we bring to any technically complex environment.
Do you offer free quotes for electrician work in Leicester?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for electrical work across Leicester and the surrounding area. The quote follows a proper assessment of the job, we don’t price off a phone description alone for anything beyond a straightforward task, because the detail that emerges during a site visit often changes what the job actually requires. You’ll receive a clear written quote covering exactly what we’d do and why, with no pressure to proceed.
How far from Leicester do you travel for electrical work?
We serve Leicester and the wider East Midlands within approximately a 50-mile radius, which covers Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield, and the towns and suburbs in between. For larger commercial or industrial projects, we’re open to discussing jobs at greater distances. If you’re unsure whether your location falls within our regular coverage area, contact us directly and we’ll confirm quickly.
We know the hesitation that holds most Leicester homeowners back isn’t about cost, it’s about whether the electrician standing in your hallway actually understands what they’re looking at, or whether they’re going to tell you what you want to hear and then discover problems mid-job. Solsure Electrical doesn’t operate that way. We assess your property, tell you exactly what we’d do and why, including the compliance implications for your specific building, and let the facts speak for themselves. Call Solsure Electrical today for your free quote in Leicester.
