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.

Replace wall switches with smart light switches

£150

Wallington, Greater London, SM6

26th Jan 2026

Task: Supply & fit smart lighting control (outdoor + hallway, incl. 2-way hallway switching) Need: I need a qualified electrician to recommend, supply, and install smart control for two lighting circuits: Switch point A: a 2-gang wall switch Gang 1: outdoor lights (single location control) Gang 2: hallway lights Switch point B: a second wall switch that controls the same hallway lights (so the hallway is a 2-way circuit: controlled from two locations). What I want the system to do: Outdoor lights: ON at sunset, OFF at midnight (daily) or other time. Hallway lights: also ON at sunset, OFF at midnight, or another time, but must still be manually switchable from either location at any time. (Automation + normal switching.) Scope: Confirm wiring type (2-way hallway), check whether neutral is present at the switch / rose, and confirm back-box depth. Recommend the best smart solution for this setup. Buy the required parts and install ASAP. Test operation from both hallway switches + verify schedules.

Juan does great work, stays until every last bit of the project is complete and then cleans up and leaves!
