Stanford-le-Hope is where we are based, so it is our quickest work to reach. We cover the whole of SS17, from King Street and the station down to Stanford Wharf and up past Hassenbrook towards Horndon on the Hill.
Most homes here are 1930s to 1970s semis, bungalows and newer estates on the edge of town. A lot of them still have their first fuse box. So the everyday work is fuse box upgrades, faults tracked down and EICRs when houses change hands.
St Margaret's church sits at the heart of town and Stanford Wharf Nature Reserve looks out over the river. Mucking and the London Gateway port are just along the road.
We are based in Stanford-le-Hope, so SS17 is on our doorstep. It is the quickest part of our patch to reach.
How Stanford-le-Hope grew and what it means for your wiring
Stanford-le-Hope grew with the railway. The station opened in 1854 on the line from London to Southend. Over time the town joined up with Corringham, Mucking and Fobbing.
Industry shaped the area. The Shell Haven refinery closed in 1999. Coryton stopped making fuel in 2012. DP World London Gateway opened on the old Shell Haven site in 2013.
Some homes nearby are much older. Horndon on the Hill, Corringham and Fobbing are all conservation areas, with old houses and churches. Fobbing sits low by the marshes. Its creek was dammed after the 1953 flood.
So the work here is a real mix. Old village homes need a careful touch. Semis and bungalows in town often need a new fuse box.
