Your Local Electrician Serving Stockwood
Stockwood is a well-kept residential suburb on Bristol's south-eastern fringe, developed primarily during the 1960s and 1970s as a planned housing estate. The neighbourhood is arranged around Hollway Road and the Stockwood Road corridor, with a mix of detached and semi-detached houses, bungalows, and some terraced properties set along curving streets and cul-de-sacs. Many homes back onto Stockwood Open Space, giving the area a spacious, green feel that has made it consistently popular with families. While these properties were well built for their era, their electrical installations are now 50 to 60 years old, and many still have original consumer units, limited socket outlets, and wiring that no longer meets modern safety standards.
MB Electrical serves Stockwood homeowners with a full range of domestic electrical services. We have extensive experience with the construction methods and wiring layouts typical of 1960s and 1970s housing, including the ring main circuits, storage heater supplies, and immersion heater wiring commonly found in these properties. Whether you need a consumer unit upgrade to replace an ageing fuse board, a full or partial rewire, additional circuits for a conservatory or kitchen extension, an EV charger installed in your garage, or outdoor electrics for a garden office, we provide fully certified, NICEIC approved work with transparent pricing and a clean, tidy finish every time.

Common Electrical Projects in Stockwood
Consumer unit upgrades are one of our most frequent projects in Stockwood. The 1960s and 1970s homes along Hollway Road, Ladman Road, and Stockwood Lane were fitted with consumer units that are now well past their intended lifespan. Many still use rewirable fuses or early MCB boards without RCD protection. Replacing these with a modern dual-RCD consumer unit is a straightforward upgrade that significantly improves household safety, and we can typically complete the work within half a day with minimal disruption to your routine.
Full and partial rewires are also common across the Stockwood estate, particularly in properties on Dutton Road, Whittock Road, and the roads around Stockwood Open Space. While 1960s and 1970s PVC wiring is generally more durable than the rubber insulation found in older homes, many of these installations have reached the point where connections have loosened, cables have been overloaded by modern demands, and the overall system no longer provides adequate protection. We carry out complete rewires that bring every circuit up to current standards, and partial rewires where only specific areas need attention.
Stockwood's generous gardens and integral garages make the area particularly well suited to EV charger installations and garden office wiring projects. Many homeowners on Sturminster Road and Ladman Road have taken advantage of their driveways and garages to install dedicated home charging points, and we handle everything from the dedicated circuit at the consumer unit through to final charger commissioning. Garden offices and workshops are another growing area, with proper electrical supplies including lighting, heating circuits, and data cabling becoming a standard requirement for those working from home.
