Serving Leicester ## Local knowledge,local response. We're based in Barlestone (CV13 0EA), covering Leicester (LE1, LE2, LE3, LE4, LE5) and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Leicester is a mixed brief: student HMOs in Clarendon Park, Victorian terraces around Highfields and Stoneygate, 1930s semis in Aylestone and Knighton, ex-council stock in Beaumont Leys and Braunstone, and a working city-centre packed with retail units, cafés and small offices. A B Security & Electrical Ltd has been serving Leicester properties from our Barlestone base since 1995, three generations in the trade, one accountable pair of hands. We cover the full LE1–LE5 footprint and the surrounding villages, from Anstey and Glenfield in the north to Oadby and Wigston in the south. Every job is quoted honestly in writing, carried out to 18th Edition, and notified through NAPIT Part P where it needs to be. Response times to Leicester Barlestone to central Leicester is a ~30-minute run along the A47 or A5460; we typically reach LE1–LE5 the same working day for urgent faults and within 48 hours for planned surveys. Landlords and letting agents on our books get priority for EICR turnarounds ahead of tenancy changeovers. Property types we know We're comfortable with everything Leicester throws at us: solid-brick Victorian back-to-backs with hidden junction boxes, 1930s Charnwood-stock semis with cloth-covered wiring, post-war maisonettes in the New Parks and Braunstone estates, HMO conversions on Welford Road and Queens Road, and modern flats around the Waterside and Highcross. Older properties still on rewireable or plastic-clad consumer units are common; we replace with metal RCBO units and certify the work properly. Common local work The most common Leicester enquiries we take are landlord EICRs (a legal requirement for private rentals since 2020), full and partial rewires on Victorian terraces, home EV charger installs in Oadby, Knighton and Birstall, LED and emergency-lighting upgrades for city-centre shops and offices, and fault-finding on tripping RCDs in older housing stock.

Every area has its own patterns, building age, supply, use. Here's what we see most in Leicester. ### Victorian rewires done half-heartedly Terraced streets around Clarendon Park, Highfields and Stoneygate are riddled with mixed-era wiring, buried junction boxes and inaccessible floor voids. We plan chase routes properly, certify the finished install, and leave the plaster ready for redecoration. ### HMO and landlord compliance Since June 2020, every private tenancy in Leicester needs a valid EICR at least every five years. We produce readable landlord reports with a fixed price for any remedials, and we can co-ordinate directly with letting agents. ### Consumer units past their service life Plastic consumer units and old rewireable fuse boards are still in service across large parts of LE2, LE4 and LE5. We upgrade to metal RCBO units, individual circuit protection, full 18th Edition compliance, notified through NAPIT. ### Retail and hospitality out-of-hours work City-centre units on and around the Highcross, Granby Street and Queens Road can't down tools during trading. We work evenings and weekends where needed so tills stay open. ### EV charging on older domestic supplies Semi-detached and terraced homes in Leicester often need a supply check, earthing upgrade or a dedicated dedicated 7kW install rather than a socket-in-a-cupboard bodge. We size it correctly first time. Our process ## The same clear process,on every Leicester job. - 01 ### Ring or message Jacob Tell us the property, postcode and what you need.

Do you serve the whole of Leicester?+Yes, LE1 through LE5 and the surrounding villages including Oadby, Wigston, Birstall, Glenfield, Anstey, Braunstone and Blaby. If you're not sure, ring Jacob on 07904 800397 and we'll confirm. How fast can you get to Leicester?+Around 30 minutes from our Barlestone base under normal traffic. Urgent faults are typically same-working-day; planned quotes and surveys are within 48 hours. How much does an EICR cost in Leicester?+Price depends on property size and consumer-unit type, a standard 2-bed rental is materially different to a 6-bed HMO. We give a fixed written price up front, and remedials are quoted separately so you're never billed by surprise. Do you handle emergency call-outs in Leicester?+For existing customers we prioritise emergency faults during working hours. For total power loss, ring the number on your DNO bill first (usually 105), if the incoming supply is fine and the fault is on your side of the meter, ring us. Can you install an EV charger in a Leicester terraced house?+In most cases yes. We survey the incoming supply, earthing arrangement and cable route, and quote an dedicated 7kW install with a proper Type A / DC-protected charger. Where an earthing upgrade is needed, we do that too. Are you registered to certify work in Leicester?+Yes; we're NAPIT-registered with full-scope Part P. Notifiable domestic work in Leicester City Council and the surrounding district councils is registered and certificated through NAPIT directly. Do you work on commercial properties in Leicester city centre?+Yes, shops, cafés, offices, small industrial units and light hospitality. We plan out-of-hours where trading dictates, and every install lands with a proper minor works or installation certificate. Are you insured to work in Leicester?+Fully insured, in date. Certificates can be sent through before we start on any commercial or landlord job.
