AK Electrical provides electrical services in Axbridge, from careful rewiring of historic homes to testing, repairs and new lighting. We understand that electrical work in an old building needs extra planning and a lighter touch.
Axbridge is a small medieval market town on the edge of the Mendips, centred on The Square, the church of St John the Baptist and the timber-framed King John’s Hunting Lodge. Much of the town is a conservation area, and many homes are listed or several hundred years old.

Electrical Work in Historic and Listed Buildings
Old buildings were never designed for modern wiring. Timber frames, lime plaster, stone walls and historic features all need protecting. We plan cable routes that avoid damage, using existing voids, floor spaces and discreet surface runs where needed.
If your home is listed, some changes may need listed building consent, so check with Somerset Council before major work. We are happy to talk through the options, and we always explain what we plan to do before we start.
Lighting That Suits Period Homes
Good lighting can bring out the character of an old property. We fit pendant lights, wall lights and LED lighting in kitchens and living spaces, choosing positions that work with beams and low ceilings. See examples of our lighting work in our photo gallery.
Testing Before You Buy or Let
Older homes in Axbridge can hide decades of alterations. An electrical test before you buy, or before you let a property, shows exactly what condition the wiring is in. Landlords need a new EICR at least every five years, as set out in the government’s guidance for landlords.
Our electrical services in Axbridge cover the whole town and its surrounding hamlets, as well as nearby Cheddar, Banwell and Bleadon. See all the areas we cover.
