St Just is the westernmost town in mainland Britain, and it feels like it. The housing stock is predominantly granite, the terrain is exposed, and the older properties have typically received minimal electrical investment over the years. I cover the whole TR19 area, including Sennen, Cape Cornwall, Botallack, and the villages of the western cape.
The Plen-an-Gwari - the old amphitheatre at the centre of town - is a useful landmark but the surrounding streets are typical of West Penwith: narrow, granite-walled, and not always accessible to larger vehicles. Properties here frequently have wiring that dates back several decades, sometimes with unsafe additions from DIY work. Holiday lets are becoming more common in the area, driven by tourism interest in the dramatic coastline, which means growing demand for EICRs and five-yearly reinspection work. The more remote properties to the west - farms, smallholdings, and converted agricultural buildings near Cape Cornwall and Botallack - often have older or non-standard electrical installations that need bringing up to spec when properties are taken on or let out. Some have had partial upgrades done piecemeal over the years without full certification. Distance doesn't put me off; I factor the travel into quotes rather than declining work in the far west. The B3306 coast road between St Just and St Ives is part of the regular run across the peninsula.
