Oluwafemi has a number of 5 star reviews on here and now I can see why. Good communication ahead of the appointment, he turned up on time, took his shoes off upon entering the house without being asked, got straight to work and was polite and courteous throughout. He did an excellent job fitting my new cooker hood. I would highly recommend him. We need more Oluwafemis in this world!

What do electrician services include?

Local electrical contractors can handle all electrical projects, whether for residential, commercial, or industrial properties. If you are building from scratch, they can help construct an efficient electrical framework for you. They can also establish new electrical wiring and control panels, and test the electrical flow for your safety. 

As for existing properties, electricians can routinely maintain, repair, and upgrade your power systems whenever needed. They can also handle electrical equipment and machinery for factories and manufacturing plants. Here is a better overview of electrical services you can book:

Domestic electrician near me

Electrical safety is paramount when it comes to your home, and that's when residential electricians play a vital role. They follow safety regulations and make sure that all electrical components and control panels, including electrical wiring and cables, are in good condition to avoid any incidents that could put you and your family at risk.

Domestic electricians can establish power points and switches to support your household appliances. They can also assist with installing various electrical appliances such as electric heaters and showers, in case you're looking to upgrade or planning a renovation. All while ensuring they follow all building regulations.

Commercial electrician near me

Not to be confused with domestic electricians, commercial electricians are mostly involved in large-scale projects for buildings and various businesses like restaurants, hotels, and corporate offices. Depending on your establishment's requirements, they can fix lighting, heating, and cooling systems or install fire alarms and other security equipment if needed.

Industrial electrician near me

For engineering projects or tasks that involve higher voltage systems and more complex machinery, it's better to connect with a licensed industrial electrician. Their services include electrical construction and maintenance for industries like factories and plants. They don't just install lights and electrical heaters. Most of the time, they also deal with different types of manufacturing equipment, including hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Industrial electricians can also troubleshoot problems and repair them as they see fit. They can even create tailored maintenance programs for your electrical motors and generators.

Emergency electrician

The moment you sense something odd with your control panels, sockets, and switches, or notice a burning smell, spark, or flickering of lights, get in touch with a local electrician immediately. With Airtasker, finding available emergency electricians in your area is fast and easy!

Socket and rewiring

£200

Denmark Hill, Greater London, SE5

21st Jul 2025

I had someone round to fix a broken socket box, but they were unable to finish the job due to some issues that arose when he took the box off. I'm pasting what he said about it below. Please feel free to ask questions if necessary, and send quotes of your own. Please include in your quote and materials (for example, I still need a new socket box on there) "Hi Dominic, I’ve spoken to one of my team members, and after both looking at the pictures and from what I could make out on my earlier visit, we both believe the cable running from the fridge socket to the hallway socket needs to be rewired to start. Based on this, the electrician will then be able to test if the existing wire will need to be rewired. Both cables are also unearthed, which is dangerous and could cause multiple issues, such as insulation failure, potential shock, or worse."

Electrician to install a light and fix a fuse on an oven

£120

Battersea, Greater London, SW11

26th Mar 2025

The oven tripped the fusebox and then wouldn’t come back on. It was recently installed (hard wired) so we need to fix that. Presumably the fuse on the oven itself has blown. Would need to take the oven out of its slot. The other job is to replace a light fitting as the bulb and the thing that houses the bulb has come off so there are two wires only. Need to replace with a standard light fitting.

Worth getting a qualified electrician to do your electrical work vs a general handyman. Great experience, very nice guy who clearly knows his stuff.
