Your Local Electrician Near Horfield
Horfield is a popular residential neighbourhood in north Bristol, well known for its proximity to the Memorial Stadium and Horfield Common. The area is characterised predominantly by 1930s semi-detached houses, with their distinctive bay windows, generous gardens, and solid construction that has stood the test of time. These inter-war properties, found along streets such as Filton Avenue, Kellaway Avenue, and Wellington Hill, were built to a good standard but their electrical systems are now approaching or have passed 90 years old. Many still have original wiring, outdated fuse boxes, and an insufficient number of sockets for modern family life.
MB Electrical is based in neighbouring Bishopston, making Horfield one of the areas we serve most frequently. We understand the specific electrical characteristics of 1930s homes: the cable routes through cavity walls, the typical consumer unit configurations, and the common faults that develop over decades of use. Whether you need a complete rewire to bring your home up to modern standards, additional sockets and circuits for a kitchen extension, an EV charger for the driveway, or smart home technology to improve energy efficiency, we provide expert, NICEIC approved electrical work with minimal disruption to your household. Horfield families appreciate our reliable service, clear pricing, and the convenience of having a trusted electrician just around the corner.

Common Electrical Projects in Horfield
Consumer unit upgrades are one of our most frequent projects in Horfield. The 1930s semi-detached houses along Filton Avenue, Kellaway Avenue, and Monks Park Avenue were built with electrical systems that are now nearly a century old, and many still have original-style fuse boards with rewirable fuses and no RCD protection. We replace these with modern consumer units that provide full circuit protection, bringing homes up to current safety standards and giving homeowners peace of mind.
Full rewires are also common throughout Horfield, particularly in properties on Dorian Road and Churchways Avenue where ageing rubber-insulated cables have degraded over the decades. Perished insulation is a genuine fire risk, and we carry out complete rewires that replace all cabling, upgrade the consumer unit, and install sufficient sockets and lighting points for modern family living. We work methodically through each room to minimise disruption, and always leave properties clean and tidy.
With Horfield's generous driveways and growing interest in electric vehicles, EV charger installations have become increasingly popular. We fit dedicated home charging points with their own protective circuits, handling everything from the initial survey to the final connection. Garden office wiring is another growing area, as more Horfield residents convert sheds and outbuildings into home workspaces that need a proper electrical supply with lighting, heating circuits, and sufficient socket outlets.
