Areas We Serve in the South Hams

Kingsbridge is home to A S Electrical, and it is where the majority of our work takes place. As a market town at the head of the Kingsbridge Estuary, Kingsbridge has a wonderful mix of older period properties, Victorian terraces, and modern housing developments — each with their own electrical needs and challenges.

Whether you live in the town centre, on one of the newer estates like Applegate Park, or in the surrounding countryside, A S Electrical is your go-to local electrician. We regularly carry out consumer unit upgrades, additional socket and lighting installations, and full EICRs for homeowners and landlords throughout the town.

Being based in Kingsbridge helps keep travel time and costs down for local customers. If you need an electrician in Kingsbridge, you are dealing with a genuinely local business.

Salcombe is one of Devon's most desirable coastal towns, known for its stunning harbour, sandy beaches, and thriving holiday let market. A S Electrical is proud to serve Salcombe residents and property owners with reliable, high-quality electrical services.

Many properties in Salcombe are holiday homes or rented properties. Rented homes covered by the Electrical Safety Standards regulations require inspection and testing at least every five years; requirements for holiday accommodation depend on how the property is used. We carry out EICRs, safety upgrades, and maintenance work throughout Salcombe and the surrounding coastline, including South Sands, North Sands, and East Portlemouth.

We also work on renovation projects in Salcombe, where older fisherman's cottages are being modernised while retaining their character. Whether you need a full rewire, modern LED lighting, or just a few extra sockets, A S Electrical has the experience to handle it.

The villages of Chillington and Stokenham lie just a few miles south of Kingsbridge, stretching towards the Start Bay coastline at Torcross. This is a mix of traditional Devon countryside — stone-built farmhouses, thatched cottages, and rural properties — alongside newer residential homes and a growing number of holiday let conversions.

A S Electrical works regularly throughout this area. Many of the older properties have wiring that dates back several decades, and consumer unit upgrades are particularly common as homeowners bring their installations up to modern safety standards. Whether you need a full rewire of a period farmhouse or a straightforward EICR for your holiday let, Adam is ideally placed to help.

Torcross, with its position on Slapton Sands, has a strong community of permanent residents and holiday property owners. A S Electrical provides thorough, clearly reported EICRs to help owners understand the condition of an installation and meet the requirements that apply to their property.

The villages of Slapton and Strete sit above one of Devon's most iconic coastal stretches, overlooking Slapton Sands and Start Bay. These are tight-knit rural communities with a mix of permanent homes, holiday cottages, and properties that have been in families for generations. Beesands, the small fishing hamlet further south, sits directly on the shingle beach and has its own unique character.

Electrical work in this part of the coast comes with its own challenges. Older properties were built before modern electrical standards existed, and the coastal environment means that damp, salt air, and ageing infrastructure can all take their toll. Adam has experience assessing and upgrading electrical installations in exactly these conditions — working carefully and efficiently to bring properties up to standard.

There are few electricians based in this immediate area, which means response times from larger towns can be slow. As a Kingsbridge-based electrician, A S Electrical can reach Slapton, Strete, and Beesands quickly, making us the practical local choice for both planned work and urgent repairs.

East Prawle holds the distinction of being the most southerly village in Devon, perched above the rugged cliffs of Prawle Point. South Pool, Frogmore, and West Charleton are nearby — tucked into the creeks and wooded valleys that feed the Kingsbridge Estuary. These are some of the most rural and remote communities in the South Hams, and finding a reliable local electrician can be a real challenge.

A S Electrical serves all of these villages, and the properties here present some of the most varied and interesting electrical work we encounter. Ancient farmhouses and cottages with original features sit alongside carefully renovated holiday retreats. Many properties have had incremental electrical additions over many decades, resulting in installations that benefit from a thorough condition report and a structured upgrade plan.

For homeowners and landlords in East Prawle, South Pool, Frogmore, and West Charleton, the advantage of using A S Electrical is that you are using a local South Hams electrician who understands the area and can visit without excessive travel time. Work is carried out to BS 7671, inspected and tested, with the appropriate certification supplied.

The cluster of villages north and east of Kingsbridge — including Sherford, East Allington, Goveton, Moreleigh, and Halwell — forms a network of quiet rural communities in the rolling South Hams countryside. This is prime Devon farming country, with a mix of agricultural properties, converted barns, village homes, and traditional Devon longhouses.

Electrical work in rural properties often differs considerably from urban jobs. Outbuildings need power, agricultural connections can require specialist knowledge, and older farmhouses frequently have wiring that has grown organically over the years rather than being planned in a structured way. Adam enjoys this kind of varied work, and brings a practical, methodical approach to understanding what a property actually needs before making recommendations.

Being based in Kingsbridge means these villages are right on A S Electrical's doorstep. If you need an electrician in East Allington, Goveton, or any of the surrounding hamlets, you are looking at a short journey rather than a long trip from a distant town — which keeps both your waiting time and your costs down.
