Short answer

Bourton-on-the-Water is a busy village on the River Windrush, with many stone cottages and holiday lets. Electricians here deal with listed buildings, flood risk near the river and landlord testing. SSEN runs most of the local network. This page also covers Northleach, a small wool town to the south-west.

Electricians in Bourton-on-the-Water by service

What homes do Bourton-on-the-Water electricians work on?

Houses and shops in the old centre are built of yellow Cotswold limestone, with stone mullion windows and gables. The small historic core and the land along the Windrush form a conservation area.

In these cottages, thick walls and low ceilings limit where new cables can go. Away from the centre there are post-war and newer houses that are simpler to rewire.

Northleach has a conservation area of its own. Its parish church is Grade I listed, and its centre has many old stone buildings.

Does the River Windrush affect electrical work in Bourton?

It can, for homes near the river. The Windrush runs through the centre of the village between wide greens. If your home is close to the river, check its flood risk on the GOV.UK service.

In a home at risk, an electrician can fit the consumer unit high up, raise the sockets and run circuits down from the ceiling. If water reaches the electrics, keep the power off until a registered electrician has tested them.

If the building is listed, flood measures may need listed building consent from Cotswold District Council.

Do holiday lets in Bourton need an EICR?

Most short holiday lets are not tenancies, so the 2020 rented-home rules usually do not apply. Many insurers and letting agents still ask for a current EICR.

Long-term lets do need one. In the 2021 Census, 515 of the 2,724 households in Bourton Village and Bourton Vale wards rented privately, or 18.9 per cent. Northleach ward was higher, at 24.4 per cent.

Holiday lets are not in these figures, because the census counts homes where people usually live.

Who runs the power network around Bourton?

SSEN runs the network in Bourton-on-the-Water, Northleach and the Rissingtons. The boundary with National Grid Electricity Distribution is less than a kilometre from the village. Lower Slaughter and Upper Slaughter are on the National Grid side.

In a power cut, 105 works wherever you are. The line sends your call to the right operator.

Questions

Who do I call in a power cut in Bourton-on-the-Water?

In Bourton, call 105. SSEN runs most of the network in the village. The Slaughters are on National Grid's network, but 105 works there too.

Does my holiday cottage in Bourton need an EICR?

Usually not by law, if it is a short holiday let. Your insurer or agent may still ask for one, and you owe guests a duty of care.
