I highly recommend David. He responded quickly to my ad, followed up promptly and turned up the same day to complete the task. Efficient, polite and gentle in his manners, we are very impressed with David’s skills.

My table lamp is not working. Probably needs new rewiring pls.

David and his partner were both A+ professionals, super kind, and extremely knowledgeable. They were very efficient and did us the massive favor of running to the shop for a part we didn’t have. They also helped with an additional fixture that needed fixing. Thanks both, for your time, expertise and kindness.

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.

Plum in wire for electric shower and change fuse from 8.5 kw to 9.5 kw

£200

Shoreditch, Greater London, EC2A

22nd Oct 2025

I have an 8.5kw shit shower that is failing. I want to change it to one i have already purchased, which is 9.5 kw. I will need my fuse to be changed, thicker wiring and possible a reroute of main feed. Probably about a foot, no more. I do not want the final fitting to be done until i have tiled over the new fitting, as i am not sure if it will be the same, i'd rather a plumber to tell me first. If you respond with "No worries, no need to rewire or change the fuse" You are not the person for the job. I am not trying to set my home up in fire. I would also prefer a woman. Respectfully.

Job Title Inspect & Diagnose Adexa JC-68DA Wine Cooler (Electrical/Compressor Fault) Description Hi there, I inherited an Adexa JC-68DA 24-bottle dual-zone wine cooler that worked briefly but now turns off by itself. After a week or so where it worked fine, now when plugged in, lights and fans come on for a few seconds, but as soon as the compressor starts, I hear crackling and the unit shuts off. There’s a slight burnt smell at that moment. A friend already opened the electrics and saw no loose or burnt wires, but the issue repeats sometimes after a few seconds, other times when the compressor engages, so it’s likely a faulty start relay, overload protector, or compressor. I need someone to: • Safely inspect and diagnose the electrical/compressor circuit • Check or replace the start relay / PTC start device / overload if faulty • Test the compressor windings to confirm if it’s shorted or seized • Visually inspect wiring and PCB for burn or damage • Advise whether repair is worth pursuing If it’s a simple electrical fix (relay or wiring), happy to cover parts and labour. If compressor is gone, just need confirmation before scrapping it. Details: • Model: Adexa JC-68DA (24-bottle, dual-zone) • Importer: Adexa Direct Ltd (UK) • Unit is unplugged and easily accessible (free-standing) Looking for an electrician or appliance repair tech familiar with refrigeration compressors. Please bring a multimeter or diagnostic tools. I’m mainly after a safe diagnosis and honest assessment — not necessarily a full repair on first visit.

Replace pressure relief and showerhead on a Triton T80 electric shower

£100

Pimlico, Greater London, SW1V

29th Aug 2025

My electric shower unit Triton T80 had its pressure relief go, which means there is pressure built up in the system or the showerhead. The pressure relief needs to be replaced, as well as the showerhead. Please give me a complete cost including the spares (showerhead should be a medium priced one, not the super cheap ones as that is what blew the relief..) and everything included, i will not renegotiate pricing after a deal is made, as the landlond needs to OK it. Looking at how much a new official showerhead costs as well as the pressure relief, i would also like to know the total cost of replacing the whole unit as some of them can be had (the same one, more modern i believe) in screwfix for £120.

Great Comms quick work same day replacement of the shower unit. Very pleased 😁
