Agricultural electrician
Farm electrician work is where we started — parlour and dairy wiring, buildings, yard lighting, grain dryers and three-phase supplies a long way from the substation.

What we do
Agricultural, domestic and industrial electricians
Colin Dawson Ltd's electricians work out of Langwathby, near Penrith, covering the whole of Cumbria. The firm has wired farms, houses and industrial units since 1993 — and the agricultural side is where we're different. We understand milking parlours, dairies and rural three-phase supplies because we work on them every day. Installations, rewires, fault-finding and electrical testing across domestic, commercial and agricultural jobs, Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm. For a quote, ring 01768 889084.
Domestic electrician
Rewires, fuse board replacements, extra sockets and lighting, fault-finding — houses, cottages and farmhouses alike, done tidily and left safe.
Industrial & commercial electrician
Industrial electrician work for workshops, units and commercial premises — installation, maintenance and repairs, built to last in real working conditions.
Electrical testing services
Electrical testing & EICRs
Wiring doesn't last forever, and on working farms it has a harder life than most. We carry out electrical testing and periodic inspection — including domestic and commercial EICRs, and EICRs for agricultural premises — so you know the state of an installation before it becomes a problem, whether that's a rented house in Penrith or a milking parlour that runs twice a day, every day.
Installations are tested before we leave, with the paperwork to match. Ring 01768 889084 to book an inspection or talk through what your premises needs.
Where our electricians work
Across Cumbria from Langwathby
Cumbrian electrical work isn't town work. Farms run three-phase supplies a long way from the substation, older farmhouses hide generations of patched wiring, and a remote steading is a long way from anywhere. Working from Langwathby, we're used to the distances and the weather. Electrical work takes us across the county — if your job is elsewhere in Cumbria, ring 01768 889084 and the answer is usually yes.
Eden Valley & Penrith
Penrith, Appleby, Shap, and Langwathby and the Eden Valley villages — home ground, minutes from High Mill.
North Cumbria
Carlisle, Brampton and Wigton, and the farms and villages between.
The Lakes & South Cumbria
Keswick and Kendal, and across the county wherever the job is.
Questions
Electrical FAQs
How much does it cost?
Every job is different. The cost depends on the size of the installation, access, and whether it's a repair, a new circuit or a full rewire — an hour's fault-finding and a farm installation aren't the same job. Call us on 01768 889084 or email info@colindawsonltd.com with what you need and we'll give you a clear price before any work starts.
What hours do your electricians work?
Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Ring the office on 01768 889084 or email info@colindawsonltd.com to book a job or a test, and we'll fit it in around your week.
Which areas do your electricians cover?
The whole of Cumbria, working from Langwathby near Penrith — including Carlisle, Kendal, Keswick, Appleby, Shap, Brampton and Wigton.
Do you carry out EICRs and electrical testing?
Yes — electrical testing and periodic inspection for domestic, commercial and agricultural premises, including EICRs. Tell us the property type and we'll advise what's needed.
Can you work on farm three-phase supplies?
Yes — agricultural three-phase work is core to what we do, from parlour and dairy supplies to buildings, grain dryers and yard installations.
Do you take on small domestic jobs?
Yes. Extra sockets, lighting, a fuse board swap or fault-finding — small jobs get the same treatment as big ones: turn up, do it properly, leave it tidy.
