Communications (Data, TV and Telephone Points)
Fast, stable connectivity is now part of basic day to day living. Streaming, video calls, home working, smart TVs, security systems and internet-connected devices all depend on a network that is consistent.
Stroud Electrical Services installs and upgrades communications cabling for homes and small businesses in Stroud and across Gloucestershire. We can add new points, alter existing installations, and investigate faults that are causing dropouts, poor performance or untidy cabling.

Data points (Ethernet and structured cabling)
A data point is a hard-wired network socket (usually RJ45) that connects devices directly to your router or network switch. It is a practical solution for locations where you want reliability and consistent speed, such as:
Home offices and study spaces
Lounges and media rooms
Outbuildings and garden offices where Wi-Fi coverage can be inconsistent
Small business areas with desks, tills, card machines or VoIP phones
We install data points as part of a planned layout rather than as an afterthought. This typically includes advice on point locations, cable routes, termination points and the best place to locate network equipment so it stays accessible and tidy.
For cabling type, many installers work with Cat5e and Cat6 as the most common options for modern installs. Cat6 is often selected where customers want more headroom for performance and future requirements.
Where appropriate, we can also label points and discuss basic testing so you know which socket goes where. If you need a more formal test record for your network cabling, mention it when you request a quote so the scope matches what you actually need.
TV installation (TV points, satellite points and cable management)
A TV installation should look deliberate, not temporary. If you are wall mounting a TV, the difference between a clean finish and a messy one is usually cable routing and planning for where the equipment will sit.
We can help with:
TV and satellite points installed in suitable locations for the room layout
Cabling routes for wall mounted TVs, including cable concealment options
Relocating points as part of a refurbishment or room change
Site survey and advice for new projects
Cable concealment methods depend on the property construction and your finish requirements. Options can include surface trunking for a neat, practical route, or concealed routes where appropriate. Specialist installation guidance commonly references concealed cable routes for wall mounted TVs as a key part of a professional finish.

Telephone points (extensions, relocations and fault investigation)
Telephone wiring is still relevant in many properties, whether for a landline, broadband routing, alarms, intercoms or legacy systems. If you need an additional telephone point, a point relocating, or suspect internal wiring is contributing to line noise or unreliable service, we can investigate.
We regularly help with:
Adding extension telephone points
Relocating a telephone point to suit a new layout
Diagnosing wiring issues that cause crackling, intermittent connection or poor performance
Repairing damaged cabling or joints where accessible
Some electrician and comms providers group “data and telephone cabling” together because the practical work is often similar: correct routing, proper termination, and a tidy finish that works first time.
How we approach communications work
Most communications jobs start with a short discussion or site visit to confirm:
What devices you want connected, and where
Whether you want simple additions or a more structured setup
The best cable routes and termination locations, with minimal disruption
How you want it to look when finished (visible trunking vs concealed routes where feasible)
If you are renovating, communications cabling is often easiest to install while access is available, for example before plastering or final decorating.

Submitted a request to them via their website for a visit very late at night to find a text before 8am the next morning with a proposed visit same day..their communication has been outstanding! I also received an email with a quote for the approximate cost before the visit. When the Electricians arrived, they were highly professional, polite and very tidy! The issue was identified very quickly and fixed!
The communication alone sets Stroud Electrical miles apart from other companies! We won’t be using anyone else! Thank you again Paul and Team!
Extremely professional company who you can tell cares about its customers.
I would highly recommend Stroud Electrical to anyone needing electrical work done.
Thanks Paul and team!
I was eligible to apply for a government business grant to contribute towards the cost of the installation. The DVLA side expectedly said that they would not pay the grant. Paul (the MD) agreed to not charge me the balance until the issue was sorted out one way or the other. It took about a month but the DVLA side got sorted out and the grant came through.
Overall great customer service.
From the first contact with Stroud Electrical Services I have found them professional and helpful. Following a phone call a visit was arranged, where we talked over what needed to be done and Paul took some notes and photos. He informed me that he would get a plan drawn up and send us a quote, setting the expectation that it might take a little while to put this together, good to his word the plan and quote was sent. We traded questions and answers before we finally agreed exactly what was to be done. My questions were always answered quickly and politely. A date was fixed when the install could be done. The crew and Paul arrived as arranged and the work began. All the staff were professional and easy to talk to and be the end of the first day a large part of the work was complete (partly due to a second crew being seconded in due to them being unable to start on the job there where scheduled at). By lunchtime the next day the work was complete, tested and everything tidied.
Everyone is happy with the upgrade and the speed and quality of the work. I would not hesitate to recommend Stroud Electrical Services, they have professional staff, good systems in place that keep you informed and most importantly they do what they say they will do.
I am very pleased for the work done by jamie and his colleague They were punctual and came round at the agreed time to change radiators in the property. The area was left neat, tidy and they cleaned when the job finished. Both guys behaved in a professional way and were respectful.
I also like the communications and text messages from your company at intervals to let me know what is going on about the appointment and the job.
Thank you very much. I will recommend your company to friends and family.
