Hartland wiring accessories help to restore the splendour of Redland Court

Redland Court is a visionary development by Juniper Homes that combines historic and new-build properties to create an exquisite collection of homes.

The overarching challenge of the project was to create balance between the old and the new buildings: retaining existing features, elements of the classic style and the varied history of the area, while combining this with the requirements of modern living to create a cohesive overall look and feel.

Bristol-based developer Juniper Homes tasked its local electrical contractor, David Fear Electrical Contractors, to source decorative electrical wiring accessories that would create continuity throughout the development, while also being sympathetic to the different ages of the properties.

David Fear Electrical Contractors have worked with Hamilton Litestat with great success on multiple projects in the past. Assured of the company’s high quality, flexible solutions, Hamilton’s Hartland designer switch plates and sockets were selected for use throughout the development.

To complement the historic and contemporary buildings, the Hartland design was specified in two finishes: Antique Brass plates with Antique Brass Switches and Black inserts were chosen for the buildings with period features – including the Manor House, Old School and West Villa. Meanwhile, Satin Steel plates with Satin Steel switches and White inserts were used throughout the other properties.

With a vast range of functionality options available, power was delivered throughout each home with double switched sockets. In lounges, kitchens and bedrooms, select sockets were upgraded with dual USB 2.4A Ultra charging outlets. Lighting is controlled throughout with a mix of 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-Gang LEDITB100 2-Way Dimmers.

In kitchens, a 6-Gang Grid plate on the kitchen counter controls all the modern electricals. Hamilton’s Grid-IT range provides flexibility, with a vast range of modules that simply and quickly clip into place on-site, featuring printed words or symbols to denote their function. Throughout the Redland Court properties, the labelled switches used are Oven, Dish Washer, Fridge/Freezer, Cooker Hood, Fan, with a final switch left blank for homeowner personalisation.

Counter-top lighting has been installed on the underside of the wall-mounted kitchen units, which is controlled by Hamilton’s LEDIT-B100 2-Way Dimmer switches.

In the living rooms, media plates feature TV/FM/2x SAT outlets, plus a 1-Gang Telephone Slave to support contemporary media and connectivity requirements. In bedrooms, double switched sockets are positioned either side of the bed, alongside 2-Gang dimmer switches to control bedside lamps. A further 2-Gang dimmer switch controls the main lighting and is located at the entrance of the bedroom.

In all the bathrooms, Hamilton’s Hartland plates were specified in a coordinating finish with the shower and tap fittings. Dual voltage unswitched shaving sockets provide safe power for electricals, while a 20A cable outlet has been installed for the towel rail.

Matt West, of David Fear Electrical Contractors, said: “Once again, Hamilton has proven to be the perfect partner for delivering to the requirement of such a high-quality, exacting project. The quality of Hamilton’s electrical wiring solutions is superb, and the flexibility of configurations and finishes means that we can always achieve the right functionality and style for a project – it’s why we continue to work with the brand. For example, the Grid-IT range comes with an excellent selection of module options, which makes it simple to fit for the challenges of each individual project. The solutions are straight forward to install and provide fantastic quality at a competitive price.”

Project Director, Jeff Spears from Juniper Homes said: “In this unique development that comprises period and contemporary buildings, Hamilton provided us with a stunning design solution that maintains consistency throughout, tailoring the finishes to suit the age of each building. Often an overlooked design element, Hamilton’s electrical wiring accessories contribute to the high-quality, polished finish that was the vision for the project. Additionally, being a Bristol-based developer, it’s great to work with and support another local company. With Hamilton being based in Brislington, the team understood the heritage of the property, the significance it has in the local landscape and the importance of getting the quality, look and feel right – it’s something Hamilton has achieved to an exceptionally high standard.”
