Why heritage installations in Wells is different

Wells is a small cathedral city — schools, surgeries, professional offices and a high concentration of period stone properties. Work here mixes domestic refurbs in BA5 villages (Wookey, Croscombe, Dinder) with commercial fit-out for surgeries and small offices.

Wells stock is a mix of cathedral-yard period buildings, 1930s-50s suburb housing in BA5 outskirts, and small commercial premises around the Market Place.

Wells has a lot of Grade II Listed and conservation-area stock. We handle the conservation officer side cleanly — chase-free routes, surface-fix where needed, full LBC documentation.

Common questions

Can you work on a Listed property in Wells without damaging original fabric?

Yes — heritage electrical work is the bulk of what we do across Wells and the rest of east/central Somerset. Approach: minimal-intervention cable routes (under floorboards, in joist voids, behind existing skirting), surface clip-direct on stone walls where chases would damage fabric, period-style conduit where surface-fix has to look right, and full coordination with the conservation officer or architect before any first-fix. We document everything for the LBC application.

Do I need Listed Building Consent for electrical work?

For Grade I, Grade II* and most Grade II Listed properties — usually yes for anything beyond like-for-like replacement. We help write the supporting note describing cable routes, fixings and reinstatement. The local authority conservation officer normally signs off straightforward rewires within a few weeks; complex jobs may need a heritage statement.

Can you match period fittings — brass, Bakelite, dolly switches?

Yes. We work regularly with period-look ranges (brass, antique copper, Bakelite-style dolly switches) and specialist suppliers for one-offs. If you're matching an existing scheme — Soho Lighting, Dowsing & Reynolds, Forbes & Lomax — let us know at survey and we'll quote on the actual fittings.
