What we do

Domestic and commercial, one socket to a full rewire.

If it's sparking, burning or dead, stop using the circuit and call. Everything else can be quoted and booked in.

Emergency

Sparking, burning smell or no power

Kill that circuit at the board and ring me — day, night or Sunday, it makes no difference. On the phone you'll get a straight answer: how serious it is, whether it's safe to leave until morning, and a real time I can be there.

From £85/hr, diagnostic included
01

EICR reports

The certificate landlords need every five years and buyers ask for at sale. Every circuit tested, findings coded C1 to C3, and a straight answer on what genuinely needs doing versus what's only worth noting.

From £150
02

Fuse board replacement

Rewireable fuses or a plastic board with no RCD is a fail on any inspection. A modern metal unit means one fault trips one circuit instead of the whole house. Testing, certificate and Part P notification included.

From £550
03

EV charger installation

Survey first: where the car parks, where the board sits, what the supply can carry. Then a tidy install with the cable run planned properly, DNO notified and the grant claimed if you qualify.

Quoted after a free survey
04

Rewires & extensions

Whole house, or just the circuits that are past it. First and second fix, tested and certified, with cable routes agreed with you before anything gets chased into a wall.

Quoted after a free survey
05

Sockets, switches & lighting

Extra sockets where you actually need them, outdoor sockets, downlights, dimmers, a light fitting that never worked properly. Several small jobs in one visit cost less than separate call-outs.

Quoted, or on the hourly rate
06

Smoke & heat alarms

Mains-powered alarms that talk to each other, so one going off wakes the whole house. Required in rented properties, and the single cheapest safety upgrade in any home.

Quoted per property
07

Fault finding

An RCD that keeps tripping, a dead ring main, lights that flicker when the kettle goes on. The cause gets traced and explained to you before any repair is priced.

From £85/hr

Prices

No surprises on the invoice.

Hourly rates are published below. Everything else is surveyed free and quoted as a single fixed price in writing before any work starts — and if the job turns out different to what was described, work stops and you approve a revised price first.

Hourly rate

Standard, Mon–Fri 8am–5pm£85
Evening, 5pm–9pm£110
Weekend & bank holiday£115
Night, 9pm–8am£130

One hour minimum: the first hour is charged in full even if the job takes ten minutes, because it covers the travel, the diagnostic and turning up with the right kit. Anything beyond that first hour is agreed with you before it runs on.

Questions

The things people ask before booking.

How quickly can you get to an emergency?

The phone is answered around the clock, including weekends and bank holidays. When you call you'll be given a realistic arrival time based on where you are, the time of day and what's already booked in. If it's going to be two hours, you'll be told two hours — a promise nobody can keep is worse than an honest answer.

Are you actually qualified and insured?

Yes. Three Ofqual-regulated EAL Level 3 qualifications: Electrotechnical Experienced Worker, 18th Edition BS 7671:2018, and Electrical Installation Inspection, Testing, Certification & Reporting. Certificate numbers are verifiable on the EAL register, work is Part P compliant, and there's £2M public liability cover on every job.

How does the pricing work?

The hourly rate is £85 in standard hours, £110 evenings, £115 weekends and bank holidays and £130 overnight, with a one-hour minimum that covers travel and the diagnostic. EICRs start at £150 and fuse boards at £550. Everything else is surveyed free and quoted as a single fixed price agreed in writing before anything starts. Materials are charged at trade price plus 15%.

What happens if you find something unexpected?

Work stops and you get told what's been found, what it means, and what it costs to put right. You approve the revised price before anything continues. Genuine safety issues get flagged and explained, but they never get quietly added to the bill.

Why does my RCD keep tripping?

Usually a faulty appliance leaking current to earth — washing machines, tumble dryers and fridges are the common culprits — or water in an outdoor socket, damaged cable insulation, or an overloaded circuit. A diagnostic visit isolates the cause in most cases within the first hour.

Do you guarantee the work?

All workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Parts carry their manufacturer warranty, typically two to five years for consumer units and three for EV chargers. If something installed fails inside the guarantee period, the return visit costs nothing.

Which areas do you cover?

All London postcodes plus the surrounding counties — Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Middlesex. Response is quickest across North West London. For anywhere further out, planned work is straightforward; emergencies are honest about travel time.
