How quickly can you get an electrician out to me in an emergency?
For genuine emergencies, we aim to have a qualified electrician at your property within two hours. Our team operates 24/7 across London, Essex, Kent, and Hertfordshire. For non-urgent jobs, we'll book you in for the next available slot that suits you.
How much do electrical services in London usually cost?
Standard electrician work in London sits between £60 and £100 per hour. Emergency call-outs run higher, typically £90 to £150 per hour, depending on the time of day. We give honest quotes over the phone wherever possible, so you'll know the cost before we arrive.
What's the difference between an EICR and PAT testing?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) inspects the fixed wiring, sockets, and circuits in a building. PAT testing checks portable appliances, kettles, computers, machinery, that plug into the wall. Most properties need both for full compliance, especially commercial sites and rentals.
Are your electricians qualified and insured?
Yes. Every electrician we send is fully qualified, fully insured, and works to current UK electrical regulations. We don't use agency cover or subcontractors. The same standard applies whether it's a domestic socket repair or a full commercial EICR programme.
My fuse board keeps tripping. What's wrong?
Repeated tripping usually points to a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, or an overloaded circuit. It can also mean a failing RCD or main switch. Don't keep resetting it, that won't fix the cause. Call us out and we'll diagnose the fault properly.
Do I legally need an EICR for my rental property?
Yes. Landlords in England must have a valid EICR for each rental property, renewed at least every five years. The report has to be carried out by a qualified electrician and shared with tenants. We handle EICR certification across London and the South East.
Can you fit lighting outdoors as well as indoors
Yes. Our electricians install indoor lighting, outdoor lighting, security lighting, garden and patio fixtures, and commercial lighting installations. We handle the wiring, fixtures, controls, and certification, all to current regulations and signed off properly.
Should I turn off the power if I smell burning from a socket?
Yes. Switch off the affected circuit at the consumer unit immediately, don't keep using the socket, and call an electrician straight away. Burning smells from electrical fittings are a real fire risk. We treat these as emergencies and respond within two hours.
Do you handle electrical services in London for commercial properties?
Yes. We work with property managers, retail estates, housing associations, hotels, and facilities management teams across London and the South East. Priority Account holders get same-day response, scheduled EICR and PAT programmes, and full compliance reporting handled in-house.
What areas do you cover for emergency electrical call-outs?
We cover all of London, including every borough, plus Essex, Kent, and Hertfordshire. That includes North, South, East, and West London, the City, and surrounding commuter towns. Two-hour emergency response applies across the full coverage area, 24/7.
