Short answer

Stow-on-the-Wold is a hilltop market town where old inns, shops and houses face a large market square. Many buildings mix a business below with living space above. The centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings. National Grid Electricity Distribution runs the network here. In a power cut, call 105.

Electricians in Stow-on-the-Wold by service

What homes do Stow-on-the-Wold electricians work on?

Stow sits high on the wold, and its old centre is built of stone around the Market Square and Sheep Street.

Owners have altered many of these buildings over the centuries. Wiring from different decades can sit side by side, with old circuits extended for new uses. An EICR is a good first step before you plan work.

Many buildings on the square have a shop, cafe or inn on the ground floor and a flat above. Each part may have its own supply, or the supplies may be mixed. The electrician needs to know which circuits serve which part.

In a mixed building, label each consumer unit clearly. Then staff and tenants know which switch controls which part.

Some homes on the edges of the town are post-war or newer. These usually have simpler wiring and more room for a drive and a charger.

Stow and Maugersbury share one conservation area on the Cotswold District Council map, and many buildings in it are listed. Check the map before you plan outside work on any building near the square.

For a listed building, ask the council before you add outside lights, cameras or new visible cables. A lit shop sign can also need advertisement consent.

How many homes in Stow are rented?

In the 2021 Census, 201 of the 1,219 households in Stow ward rented privately. That is 16.5 per cent, a little below the England figure.

A business with a flat above has two sets of duties. If the flat is let, it needs an EICR at least every 5 years. The business part has its own duties under health and safety law.

Who runs the power network in Stow?

National Grid Electricity Distribution runs the network in Stow, Maugersbury, Lower Swell, Broadwell, Adlestrop and the Oddingtons.

Bourton-on-the-Water, a few miles south, is on the SSEN network. The 105 number works in both places.
