Electrician Needed

£250

Warley, Essex

12th Oct 2026

Circuit for spotlights in the kitchen does not work. Rest of the lights in the kitchen work fine, potentially just needs one of the bulbs to be replaced, but not too sure. There are also some spotlights that need putting in for the living room after the room was re-plastered. The plasterer had covered up where 2 spotlights were, and they need putting back in. Fire alarms also need looking at. Again, not sure if anything needs replacing but they need a re-install at a minimum.

Old light flashes once but doesn’t stay on, so wiring/supply needs checking. * Bathroom: Check stiff light switch and repair or replace if necessary. All five new light fittings have been purchased, although I’m waiting for a few deliveries. Ideally looking for someone on Thursday 22 October, with all work completed in one visit. These should be straightforward jobs. Please confirm your electrical qualifications, availability and whether your quote covers installation and testing.

Replace 2 existing LED downlights – supply and fit

£100

Epping, Essex

21st Sep 2026

I need an electrician to replace 2 existing integrated LED downlights in my kitchen in my home in Epping, Essex. Both lights have stopped working and are approximately 8 years old. I believe they are Aurora Enlite E8 fittings (possibly EN-DE8/30, 3000K warm white), but I would like the electrician to confirm the correct replacement before purchasing. The job would involve: * Removing the 2 existing faulty lights * Installing and connecting 2 suitable replacement fittings * Reusing the existing bezels if suitable The existing ceiling holes and wiring are already in place, so this should be a like-for-like replacement rather than a new installation. I am happy to source and purchase the replacement fittings myself if the electrician can confirm exactly which fittings I need to buy. Alternatively, I’m happy to consider supply and fit if that’s easier. Please quote for the job, either labour only or supply and fit.

Replace cooker hood & install new 60x80cm marble-effect splashback

£200

Abbey Field, Essex

16th Sep 2026

I need a multi-skilled handyman in Colchester to replace my kitchen extraction setup. I have a brand-new Haier 60cm black chimney cooker hood (arriving this Sunday) and a brand-new 60cm (W) x 80cm (H) WilsonArt Alloy aluminium marble-effect splashback panel (arriving next Wednesday from Very). Looking to have the work completed on Saturday 26th September. Tasks Required: Protect the brand-new Bosch induction hob below before starting. Safely remove and dispose of the old stainless steel hood (wires are entirely hidden inside the vertical chimney casing). Remove the old loose splashback panel. Repair the damaged wall anchors and plasterboard behind the hood zone to ensure the mounting structure is 100% solid and secure. Mount the new WilsonArt Alloy splashback panel seamlessly to the wall. Securely mount and connect the new Haier black hood over the top so it neatly overlaps the top edge of the splashback. The existing ducting kit is already in place. Please bring heavy-duty wall fixings/plugs and suitable high-bond adhesive for an aluminium composite splashback panel.
