All residential electrical services including socket installation, light fitting, consumer unit upgrades, and full house rewires. Domestic electricians handle everything from simple repairs to complete electrical installations in homes.
Electrical installations and maintenance for offices, shops, warehouses, and other commercial premises. Includes three-phase power, distribution boards, emergency lighting, and PAT testing for business compliance.
Urgent callout services for power failures, burning smells, tripping circuits, and other electrical emergencies. Emergency electricians are available 24/7 and can diagnose and resolve dangerous faults quickly and safely.
Home and workplace electric vehicle charger installation. Includes assessment of your electrical supply, dedicated circuit installation, and setup of smart charging units from brands like Ohme, Zappi, and Pod Point.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) and periodic testing to assess the safety of your wiring. Required for landlords, and recommended every 10 years for homeowners or 5 years for rented properties.
Indoor and outdoor lighting design, including LED upgrades, recessed spotlights, garden lighting, and smart home lighting systems. Professional lighting transforms spaces and can significantly reduce energy costs.
These are the most frequently requested jobs in electrical. Knowing what to expect helps you communicate clearly with professionals.
Upgrading an old fuse box to a modern consumer unit with RCDs and MCBs. This is one of the most important safety upgrades you can make to your home. Modern units trip faster to prevent electric shock and fire.
Replacing old or unsafe wiring throughout your property. Properties built before the 1970s often need rewiring. Signs include old round-pin sockets, fabric-covered cables, and a dated fuse box. A full rewire typically takes 5-10 days.
Adding new power sockets, light switches, or data points. Common in renovations, extensions, and home offices. An electrician can add sockets to existing circuits or install new dedicated circuits where needed.
Installing new light fixtures, replacing outdated fittings, or converting to energy-efficient LED lighting. LED bulbs use up to 80% less energy than traditional bulbs and last significantly longer.
Installing outdoor power sockets, garden lighting, security lights, and hot tub supplies. Outdoor electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician and certified under Part P of the Building Regulations.
Diagnosing and repairing electrical faults — tripping breakers, flickering lights, dead sockets, and intermittent power issues. Professional fault finding uses testing equipment to locate problems quickly without unnecessary disruption.

Visit QodexChoosing the right professional is important. Here’s what to look for when hiring electrical services.
Electricians carrying out notifiable work must be registered with a competent person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT, ELECSA). This means their work is self-certified and meets Building Regulations without needing separate council inspection.
All electrical work should come with the appropriate certificates — an Electrical Installation Certificate for new work, or a Minor Works Certificate for smaller jobs. These are legal documents proving the work meets BS 7671 standards.
Look for consistent feedback about tidiness, punctuality, and clear communication. Electrical work often involves lifting floorboards and chasing walls, so a tidy electrician makes a huge difference to your experience.
Ask for a detailed written quote that breaks down labour, materials, and any additional costs. Be cautious of vague or verbal-only quotes. A professional electrician will be happy to provide a clear written estimate.
