Havant is one of those Hampshire towns that has the best of both worlds. You’re close enough to Portsmouth to enjoy the buzz of the city, but far enough out to keep that proper community feel — the kind of place where you bump into your neighbours at the Meridian Centre and your kids go to school with theirs. The housing mix here reflects that variety too, from period cottages in Old Havant and Emsworth through to large 1960s and 1970s estates in Leigh Park, and brand new builds going up around West Street and Warblington.
At Portsmouth Electrician, we’ve been wiring, rewiring and rescuing homes and businesses across Havant for years. We know the quirks of the local property stock — the back-fed cookers in older bungalows, the part-rewired terraces that need finishing properly, the loft conversions in Leigh Park that suddenly need an upgraded consumer unit. Whether you need a quick fault find, a full house rewire, an EV charger fitted on the driveway or an emergency electrician at 11pm on a Sunday, our local team is ready to help. Every job is carried out by a fully qualified, NICEIC-registered electrician, and every quote is honest, written and obligation-free.
From simple socket replacements to full-property rewires, domestic electrical work is the bread and butter of what we do in Havant. We routinely work in the family homes of Bedhampton, the bungalows of Leigh Park and the Victorian terraces near the railway station. Every job is signed off to the latest 18th Edition wiring regulations, with a clear written certificate handed over at the end. If you’re extending, renovating or simply tired of dodgy plug sockets, we’ll put it right — tidily and safely.
Havant has a thriving business community, from the industrial estates off New Lane to the independent shops along West Street and the offices around Solent Road. We support local businesses with everything from new shop fit-outs and three-phase installations to office lighting upgrades, fault finding and routine EICR testing. We work around your trading hours wherever possible — weekends, evenings and early mornings included — so you can keep serving your customers while we keep your electrics safe, compliant and working as they should.
No two Havant homes are wired quite the same. The post-war prefabs and 1960s estate homes around Leigh Park have very different cabling and consumer-unit setups from the converted period properties in Emsworth or the modern flats near Havant station. That local knowledge matters: it means we arrive prepared, we spot the hidden issues quickly, and we don’t hit you with surprises halfway through a job. After hundreds of jobs across PO9, our electricians genuinely know what they’re likely to find behind your walls.
Because we’re based just down the A27 in Portsmouth, our engineers can be in Havant in under 30 minutes for most jobs — often quicker. For booked appointments, we arrive within the slot we agreed and message you when we’re on our way. For emergencies, we aim for same-day attendance across all PO9 postcodes, including outlying areas like Rowlands Castle and Hayling Island. You’ll never be left waiting in the dark wondering whether we’re coming or not.
As well as Havant town centre itself, our electricians regularly work across all the surrounding villages and suburbs. That includes Bedhampton, Leigh Park, Warblington, Emsworth, Langstone and Denvilles to the south and east, plus Rowlands Castle, Horndean and parts of Waterlooville and Cowplain just to the north. We also cover Hayling Island in full, which means we’re a sensible choice for holiday lets and second homes that need an electrician on short notice. Further afield, we serve Purbrook, Widley, Drayton, Farlington and all the way back into central Portsmouth, Southsea and Cosham.
Because our team is genuinely local — we live and work in this corner of Hampshire — we’re familiar with everything from the older Victorian and Edwardian properties near the seafront to the modern new builds around the A27 corridor. Wherever you are in PO9 or its neighbouring postcodes, you’ll get the same friendly service and the same high standard of workmanship from a Portsmouth Electrician engineer who knows the area inside out.
With more Havant drivers switching to electric, EV charger installations have become one of our busiest services. We install OZEV-approved 7kW home chargers from leading brands, neatly cabled and tested to the latest standards. Whether you’re in a terrace in Old Havant with a shared driveway or a detached home in Bedhampton with a long cable run to the garage, we’ll design and fit the right solution. We also handle any necessary fuse-board or supply upgrades, so you get one tidy job from one trusted local team.
An old fuse board is one of the most common safety issues we see in Havant homes. Modern consumer units with RCD or RCBO protection trip the power off instantly when something goes wrong — protecting you, your family and your home from fire and electric shock. We can typically upgrade a fuse board in a single day, with the power off for only a few hours. All upgrades come with a clear electrical installation certificate and notification to Building Control, so your paperwork is sorted for insurance and any future sale.
If your home still has old rubber-sheathed cabling, round-pin sockets or a fuse board with rewireable fuses, it’s very likely due for a rewire. We handle full and partial rewires across Havant, from compact two-bed terraces to four-bed detached family homes. Our team works cleanly, minimises damage to plaster and decoration, and gives you a clear day-by-day plan so you know exactly what’s happening and when. Every rewire is certified and registered with Building Control on your behalf — you don’t have to lift a finger.
