Essential Safety Upgrades for Downend Rentals

Modern electrical regulations (BS 7671) require high levels of protection that older plastic fuse boxes simply cannot provide. We help landlords in Downend bring their properties up to code with high-performance, fire-rated metal consumer units.

EICR Remedial Solutions

If your Downend property failed its EICR due to lack of RCD protection or an outdated fuse box, our upgrade service is the fastest way to achieve a "Satisfactory" certificate and remain legal.

Communal Area Board Management

We install and maintain landlord communal boards for blocks of flats in Downend. These boards ensure hallway lighting, fire alarms, and emergency exits remain powered and separately metered where required.

RCBO & Surge Protection

We use individual RCBOs for every circuit. This means if a tenant’s toaster develops a fault, only that circuit trips—keeping the rest of the Downend property in power and reducing emergency call-out costs.

What Downend Property Managers say about our work:


!! Take Care When Selecting an Electrician !!

Many electricians in Bristol are simply not interested in the small jobs.They want the choice jobs and will drop you when a bigger,supposedly more lucrative project comes in.

Others advertise as electricians having no qualifications.They thrive on the basis that you don't understand what they do and as a result charging for shoddy,and often dangerous electrical work.

I set up Burridge Electrical to provide you with a quality service and provide you with exactly what you need from a qualified electrician.
