Thank you Ash.  
Yes, as Ash pointed out, there is an experimental search facility that allows you to restrict search terms to addresses.  
so you could try adding  
location:“sandhurst” to your search term, so  
search/companies?q=electrical+location%3A"Sandhurst"

Please NOTE:  
It is not officially released or supported and maybe removed in future releases.  
You cannot use this to find ALL companies in a particular town due to restrictions in the number of search results returned.
