Serving BarlestoneLocal knowledge,
Local knowledge,
local response.
We're based in Barlestone (CV13 0EA), covering Barlestone (CV13) and the surrounding Leicestershire area.
A B Security & Electrical Ltd is a Barlestone business. Our workshop is at 10A New Street, CV13 0EA, the same postcode as most of the village. We've worked on homes across Newton Lane, Bosworth Road, Main Street, Stanley Road and the newer Osbaston-facing estates for decades. Three generations, one village, one accountable business.
Because we're in the village, we take on the small jobs a lot of city firms won't drive out for, a single circuit fault, a garden socket, a light fitting that keeps tripping, as readily as we do full rewires and commercial installations.
Response times to Barlestone
You can't get closer. Most Barlestone jobs are minutes away and we're often the same day for existing customers.
Property types we know
Barlestone's mix is typical Leicestershire village: red-brick cottages and terraces around Main Street and Newton Lane, 1960s–80s bungalows and semis on Stanley Road and Osbaston Road, and modern-standard family homes on the more recent estates. We've wired most of it at some point.
Common local work
Local enquiries lean towards consumer-unit upgrades on older stock, EV chargers on driveways, garden and outbuilding supplies, additional sockets and small-job electrical maintenance, and EICRs for local landlords letting village properties.

Local issuesThe electrical problems
The electrical problems
Barlestone property throws up.
Every area has its own patterns, building age, supply, use. Here's what we see most in Barlestone.
Garden and outbuilding supplies
Sheds, workshops and garden offices need SWA cable and correct earthing, not extension leads. We install and certify properly.
EV chargers on village driveways
Dedicated 7kW installs with supply and earthing checks, no shortcuts on protective devices.
Small-job availability
One fitting, one socket, one nuisance-tripping RCD; we take on the small stuff local firms often skip.
Rural DNO supply issues
Voltage sag or intermittent tripping on the incoming supply; we identify what's the property and what's the DNO before quoting.
Our processThe same clear process,
The same clear process,
on every Barlestone job.
