We're based in Barlestone (CV13 0EA), covering Leicester (LE1, LE2, LE3, LE4, LE5) and the surrounding Leicestershire area.
Leicester is a mixed brief: student HMOs in Clarendon Park, Victorian terraces around Highfields and Stoneygate, 1930s semis in Aylestone and Knighton, ex-council stock in Beaumont Leys and Braunstone, and a working city-centre packed with retail units, cafés and small offices. A B Security & Electrical Ltd has been serving Leicester properties from our Barlestone base since 1995, three generations in the trade, one accountable pair of hands.
We cover the full LE1–LE5 footprint and the surrounding villages, from Anstey and Glenfield in the north to Oadby and Wigston in the south. Every job is quoted honestly in writing, carried out to 18th Edition, and notified through NAPIT Part P where it needs to be.
Barlestone to central Leicester is a ~30-minute run along the A47 or A5460; we typically reach LE1–LE5 the same working day for urgent faults and within 48 hours for planned surveys. Landlords and letting agents on our books get priority for EICR turnarounds ahead of tenancy changeovers.
We're comfortable with everything Leicester throws at us: solid-brick Victorian back-to-backs with hidden junction boxes, 1930s Charnwood-stock semis with cloth-covered wiring, post-war maisonettes in the New Parks and Braunstone estates, HMO conversions on Welford Road and Queens Road, and modern flats around the Waterside and Highcross. Older properties still on rewireable or plastic-clad consumer units are common; we replace with metal RCBO units and certify the work properly.
The most common Leicester enquiries we take are landlord EICRs (a legal requirement for private rentals since 2020), full and partial rewires on Victorian terraces, home EV charger installs in Oadby, Knighton and Birstall, LED and emergency-lighting upgrades for city-centre shops and offices, and fault-finding on tripping RCDs in older housing stock.

13 miles from our Barlestone workshop.
In the electrical trade since 1995, one accountable family business.
No call centres, no sales reps. You ring the tradesman doing the work.
Every install carries a full year of workmanship cover in writing.
Every area has its own patterns, building age, supply, use. Here's what we see most in Leicester.
Terraced streets around Clarendon Park, Highfields and Stoneygate are riddled with mixed-era wiring, buried junction boxes and inaccessible floor voids. We plan chase routes properly, certify the finished install, and leave the plaster ready for redecoration.
Since June 2020, every private tenancy in Leicester needs a valid EICR at least every five years. We produce readable landlord reports with a fixed price for any remedials, and we can co-ordinate directly with letting agents.
Plastic consumer units and old rewireable fuse boards are still in service across large parts of LE2, LE4 and LE5. We upgrade to metal RCBO units, individual circuit protection, full 18th Edition compliance, notified through NAPIT.
City-centre units on and around the Highcross, Granby Street and Queens Road can't down tools during trading. We work evenings and weekends where needed so tills stay open.
Semi-detached and terraced homes in Leicester often need a supply check, earthing upgrade or a dedicated dedicated 7kW install rather than a socket-in-a-cupboard bodge. We size it correctly first time.
Tell us the property, postcode and what you need. We'll book a survey slot or, if it's small, quote straight from the phone call.
We come out, look at the incoming supply, consumer unit and cable routes, and take the time to understand exactly what you want.
Fixed price, in writing, within 48 hours. Materials, labour, certification and clean-up all itemised, no day-rate surprises.
We agree a start date that suits you, order materials in advance, and confirm the day before we arrive.
Every install is tested to 18th Edition, notified through NAPIT where required, and issued with the correct certificate.
Full written workmanship guarantee for twelve months. You have one accountable name on the paperwork, Jacob Bailey.
Yes, LE1 through LE5 and the surrounding villages including Oadby, Wigston, Birstall, Glenfield, Anstey, Braunstone and Blaby. If you're not sure, ring Jacob on 07904 800397 and we'll confirm.
Around 30 minutes from our Barlestone base under normal traffic. Urgent faults are typically same-working-day; planned quotes and surveys are within 48 hours.
Price depends on property size and consumer-unit type, a standard 2-bed rental is materially different to a 6-bed HMO. We give a fixed written price up front, and remedials are quoted separately so you're never billed by surprise.
For existing customers we prioritise emergency faults during working hours. For total power loss, ring the number on your DNO bill first (usually 105), if the incoming supply is fine and the fault is on your side of the meter, ring us.
In most cases yes. We survey the incoming supply, earthing arrangement and cable route, and quote an dedicated 7kW install with a proper Type A / DC-protected charger. Where an earthing upgrade is needed, we do that too.
Yes; we're NAPIT-registered with full-scope Part P. Notifiable domestic work in Leicester City Council and the surrounding district councils is registered and certificated through NAPIT directly.
Yes, shops, cafés, offices, small industrial units and light hospitality. We plan out-of-hours where trading dictates, and every install lands with a proper minor works or installation certificate.
Fully insured, in date. Certificates can be sent through before we start on any commercial or landlord job.
Tell Jacob what you need. He'll come out, look at the job properly, and send a clear written quote within 48 hours, no obligation.
