The questions people ask first
How much, how long, and will it make a mess. The honest answers, before you ring.
Electrics can look fine and still not be safe.
Most electrical faults are hidden behind a faceplate or inside a wall. The only way to know an installation is safe is to test it and read the results, so that is where every job starts. I explain what I find in plain terms before I touch anything.
How much will it cost?
Small jobs are often priced from a few photos the same day. Bigger jobs get a written quote after a visit, before anything starts. The fixed from-prices are on the prices page.
How long will it take?
Small jobs such as extra sockets or a new light are usually done in a few hours. A consumer unit replacement is usually a day. Rewires and kitchens are planned around your build, and the timing is set out in your quote.
Will it cause any damage?
Most small jobs leave nothing behind but a new faceplate. Bigger jobs can mean chasing cable into plaster or lifting floorboards, and your quote says exactly where before I start.
A written quote before any work
After a visit, or from photos for small jobs. Always in writing. Your invoice matches the written quote, and if anything changes during the job I explain why and agree it with you first.
The person who quotes does the work
I work alone from West Wickham, with a couple of trusted electricians I bring in on larger jobs. The person who quotes your job is the person who does it.
Prices, published
Almost no electrician round here publishes a price. Mine are on the prices page, and everything else gets a written quote before any work starts.

Examples of this work
The best way to judge an electrician is the work left behind.
Told she needed a full rewire. She did not.
An elderly customer had been told by another firm that her house needed a complete rewire, because bulbs kept blowing. I tested every circuit. The readings were safe. Instead of a rewire, her old fuse board was upgraded to a modern consumer unit with up-to-date protection.
What I did:
- Tested every circuit
- Readings were within safe limits
- Old fuse board upgraded to a modern consumer unit
- No rewire, no redecorating
She kept her walls, her decorating and thousands of pounds.
Consumer unit change
Old fuse boards replaced with one RCBO board and surge protection
Extra double sockets
Singles swapped for doubles either side of a bed and behind a TV, before decorating
Outside socket
A weatherproof double by the back door, so no more extension leads through the house
Work in progress
Short clips from recent jobs, from first fix to lights on.

Questions
Didn't see your question? WhatsApp me.
How much will it cost?
Small jobs are often priced from a few photos the same day. Bigger jobs get a written quote after a visit, before anything starts. The fixed from-prices are on the prices page.
Do you charge for quotes?
No. Quotes from photos and quote visits are free.
How long will it take?
Small jobs usually take a few hours, a consumer unit replacement usually a day, and a rewire of an empty three-bedroom house one to two weeks. Your quote gives the timing for your job.
Will it cause any damage?
Small jobs leave little or nothing behind. Rewires and new circuits mean chasing cable into plaster and lifting some floorboards, and your quote says exactly where before work starts.
Do I need to be home?
For a visit or a job inside the property, yes, or a key holder. For outside work, not always.
Is it safe now?
I only call a circuit safe once it has been tested and the readings are within the limits in BS 7671, and I tell you what was tested.
Why do prices start "from"?
Because the final price depends on the property: how many circuits, where the cable runs, and what is found when the old installation is opened up. You always get the price in writing before work starts.
Do you offer a 24-hour service?
No. Emergency calls are taken until 10pm. After that, WhatsApp or use the form and I'll call first thing.
