Why heritage installations in Frome is different

Frome (BA11) is the converted-mill town, a lot of stock is industrial-heritage conversion (warehouses, mills, old factories turned into flats, studios and creative workspace). We deal with three-phase incomers, exposed-brick cable runs and the kind of awkward conduit/tray jobs that come with industrial-conversion living.

Frome stock ranges from Georgian Catherine Hill terraces through Victorian artisans' cottages to converted Welshmill and Saxonvale industrial units.

Frome has a strong creative/maker economy, studios, workshops, small commercial premises behind shopfronts. Often three-phase, often shared distribution, often needing a smart approach to load and metering.

Common questions

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

Yes, heritage electrical work is the bulk of what we do across Frome 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.
