Fire Safety Services in Upton
Upton is a tranquil hamlet in north Test Valley, Hampshire, approximately seven miles north of Andover, with an estimated population of around 250 residents. Set along the little River Swift, which runs seasonally and occasionally floods in winter, Upton retains a charming historic centre characterised by traditional brick-and-flint cottages and multiple thatched buildings. The hamlet’s origins date back to Domesday, and it remains closely tied to the civil parish of Hurstbourne Tarrant.
The settlement revolves around the crossroads and village green, with its principal landmark being the Crown Inn—a coaching-era pub popular with locals and travellers alike. Upton once supported two inns, but today the Crown remains as a welcoming community hub. Though small, the hamlet once contained a chapel built in 1839, a school that closed mid-20th century, and agricultural workshops supporting local trades.
Transport-wise, Upton is accessed via local lanes leading to Andover to the south and Highclere to the north. While there is no train station within the hamlet, rail services can be reached via Andover on the West of England Line. Bus connections are limited, so residents and businesses commonly rely on private transport to access nearby centres.
Economically, Upton remains a farming-focused community with two working farms still in operation, along with sole traders and home-based businesses. The Crown Inn supports local hospitality and tourism, while the presence of listed and historic buildings brings occasional heritage maintenance activity.
At ESI, we assist Upton-area businesses and farms with professional electrical and fire‑safety services tailored to rural needs. Whether you’re running a smallholding, pub, heritage site, or workshop, our accredited engineers deliver fixed‑wire testing, emergency‑lighting inspections, fire‑alarm servicing, and full compliance audits—helping your operation stay safe, compliant, and business-ready with minimal fuss.
