Short answer
Tetbury electricians often work in old stone buildings, many with a shop below and a flat above. The town centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings, so plan visible work with Cotswold District Council. SSEN runs the network in the town, but some villages to the west are on National Grid's network.

What should I know about wiring old Tetbury buildings?
Most work in the centre of Tetbury is in old stone buildings that owners have changed many times. The Market House dates from 1655, and Long Street and Church Street have many old shops and houses.
A building with a shop on the ground floor and a flat above can have more than one supply. It can also have old wiring that the two parts share.
Chasing cables into old stone walls is slow and can damage lime plaster. An electrician may use floor voids, the roof space or slim surface trunking instead.
Post-war houses and newer estates lie outside the old centre. These are simpler to rewire.
Do I need consent for electrical work in Tetbury?
You may, if the building is listed. Tetbury is one of 144 conservation areas in Cotswold District, which the council says is more than any other district council in England.
Listed building consent covers inside and outside work. Ask Cotswold District Council before you add outside lights, a wall charger or visible cable runs to a listed building.
The Historic England list tells you if your building is listed, and at which grade.
Who runs the power network around Tetbury?
SSEN runs the network in Tetbury itself, and in Westonbirt, Shipton Moyne and Long Newnton. The boundary with National Grid Electricity Distribution is close to the town. Beverston, Avening and Cherington are on the National Grid side.
This difference does not change what you do in a power cut. The free 105 line works on both networks.
How many Tetbury homes are rented?
About 1 in 6 households in the Tetbury area rents privately. In the 2021 Census, the 3 Tetbury wards had 539 privately rented households out of 3,398, or 15.9 per cent.
The share varies a lot. It was 8.6 per cent in Tetbury Town ward and 20.8 per cent in Tetbury East and Rural ward. A tenant must get a copy of the latest EICR before moving in.

Questions
Who do I call in a power cut in Tetbury?
In Tetbury, call 105. SSEN runs the network in the town. Some villages to the west are on the National Grid network, but 105 still connects you.
Do I need consent for an EV charger on a listed house in Tetbury?
You may. Ask Cotswold District Council before you fix a charger to a listed building or to a wall in its grounds.
Does a flat above a shop need its own EICR?
If the flat is let, the landlord needs an EICR for it. Ask the electrician to state clearly which circuits the report covers.
