M Electrical is an electrical contracting firm specialising in high-quality work for customers in the domestic, commercial and industrial sectors. We are a privately owned, family-run business based in Ferndown, and most of our work is within a short drive of it — BCP, Bournemouth, Poole, Wimborne, Ferndown, West Moors and West Parley — although we take on larger contracts nationally.
In more than three decades we have completed over 3,000 installations. We are approved contractors with the NICEIC, our engineers are CRB checked, and every job we take on is designed, installed and certificated to comply with current BS 7671 regulations. Because we hold NICEIC Approved Contractor and Part-P Domestic Installer status we can certify our own work and notify building control for you, so there is no third-party inspection for you to arrange or pay extra for.
Whether it is a single extra socket or the full electrical design for a new build, you are assigned a project manager who sees the work through from the first visit to certification. Read more about our domestic, commercial and testing and inspection services, or get in touch for a free estimate.
Every quotation is free and comes with no obligation. All our work is insured, we undertake insurance work, and if something goes wrong outside office hours our emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That combination — a proper local firm, properly accredited, that will still come out for a single faulty socket — is why we are rated 9.9 out of 10 on Checkatrade by customers across BCP, Bournemouth, Poole, West Parley and Ferndown.
We continue to grow our Google reviews daily and have always strived to leave our clients happy.

A sample of the work that fills a normal week — what the job involved, where it was and how it was left.
Domestic rewire A complete first and second fix with the family still living in the house. Circuits were taken back to a new board, sockets moved up to sensible heights and every room made good before we left.
Three-bed semi · Part P certified
Security lighting PIR floodlighting to a dark side return and driveway, run back to its own way in the consumer unit so the cameras stay live even if something else in the house trips.
Detached house · Own dedicated circuit
Fault finding An intermittent trip that two previous visits had not pinned down. Insulation resistance testing put it under the drive — a corroded joint, dug out, remade and retested the same day.
Same-day repair · Retested and certified
Bournemouth is where most of our work is, and it has been that way for over thirty years. From Victorian conversions around Winton and Charminster to the newer estates at Talbot Village and the flats along the seafront, we know the sort of wiring we are likely to find before we lift a floorboard — which is why we can usually price a job accurately on the first visit.
We are based a short drive north in Ferndown, so the towns and villages either side of the A31 are part of our normal week too. Wimborne brings us a steady run of period-property rewires, West Moors and West Parley a mix of bungalow upgrades and consumer unit replacements, and Poole and Christchurch make up much of the rest. We take on larger contracts nationally as well.
If you are just outside these areas, call anyway — we travel further for larger jobs and we will tell you honestly if someone closer would serve you better.
