Qualified electricians and MCS solar installers
Rewires, consumer units, EV charging, commercial fit-outs and solar with battery backup, installed by our own NICEIC-registered team. Every job insured and guaranteed.
Fourteen years on the tools, across four counties
Appleby Plumbing & Electrical Services is a Wellingborough-based team working right across Northampton and the counties around it — domestic, commercial and renewable work, carried out start to finish by our own NICEIC-registered engineers. No subcontractors you've never met: the electrician who surveys the job is the one who signs it off, which is why the same small team has kept the same clients coming back for fourteen years.

Enquiry to switch-on, in three honest steps
No sales call after the quote, no subcontractors you've never met. The same team handles it end to end, so whatever you're told at survey stage is what actually turns up on the day — no surprises, no upsells.
Tell us what's going on
Four short questions in the quote assistant below, plus a photo if it helps. About a minute, no obligation.

Electrical services in Northampton, answered
If yours isn't here, call and ask, a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
Ask us a questionEverything from a single socket through to a full rewire: consumer unit upgrades, fault finding, EICR reports and landlord certificates, lighting and sockets, EV charge points, and commercial distribution boards, fit-outs and planned maintenance. We also cover solar and battery systems, which is less common for a general electrician.
Yes. We're NICEIC registered and MCS certified, and hold BPEC and RECC accreditations. All work is insured and guaranteed, and we've been doing this for over fourteen years.
Yes. Solar is one of the three main sides of the business. Installations are carried out to MCS certification standards, which is what you need for export tariffs and for the paperwork to stand up if you sell the property. We handle design, installation, battery backup and ongoing maintenance.
It depends on your roof and on how much electricity you actually use, so anyone quoting a figure before seeing either is guessing. Orientation, pitch, shading through the day and your current usage all move the number substantially. We survey all of it free of charge and give you a realistic figure in writing, including telling you if the payback doesn't stack up.
Most domestic roof-mounted installations fall under permitted development, so no application is needed. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some flat-roof or ground-mounted arrays are the usual exceptions. We check the position for your specific property as part of the survey.
Yes, for both, including systems we didn't install. That covers solar panel repair and maintenance, inverter and battery faults, periodic inspection and testing, and planned maintenance contracts for commercial sites.
We're based in Wellingborough and work across Northamptonshire (Northampton, Kettering, Rushden, Corby, Daventry and Towcester among them) plus Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Cambridgeshire. If your postcode isn't obviously in that patch, ask anyway; we travel for the right job.
