Super friendly, polite, and helpful. Took on my task with no issues - it was originally to build 1x standing desk but last minute was able to build 2x for me. This was quite a complicated build, with missing instructions but he managed it easily with little fuss. Highly recommend!

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! You won't even have to worry about not having any tools on hand–most electricians are already equipped with their own professional tool kits, which they can bring with them for any service that you may need.

Cooker hood/Extractor inspection

£80

The Borough, Greater London

21st Oct 2026

Title: Cooker hood/extractor inspection – London Bridge SE1 I'm looking for an experienced cooker hood or ventilation engineer to inspect an existing kitchen extractor hood in a tenanted flat in London Bridge. The tenants have reported that the extractor may not be functioning correctly and believe it may have been directing warm, moist air towards the ceiling. There is now visible peeling paint and damage to the ceiling directly above the extractor. The extractor is believed to be a recirculating model rather than externally vented. I'd like someone to: - Check whether the extractor is functioning correctly. - Inspect the filters, fan motor and airflow. - Confirm whether the air is being discharged correctly. - Assess whether the extractor could be contributing to the ceiling damage. - Advise on any necessary repairs or replacement. Ideally, I'd like someone who can also assess whether the ceiling is currently damp and advise if further investigation is required. Please quote for an initial inspection and diagnosis, and confirm your experience with cooker hood repairs. Photographs available.

Such a great and detailed report given, really appreciate the great work!

Air Conditioning Duct Cleaning & Servicing – High Ceilings

£1,500

Blackfriars, Greater London

21st Oct 2026

We’re looking for an experienced air conditioning and ventilation specialist to inspect, service and professionally clean the air conditioning ducts at our commercial premises. There is a strong, unpleasant smell coming from the system whenever the air conditioning or heating is switched on. We need someone who can identify the cause of the smell and carry out the necessary cleaning and maintenance to resolve the issue. Scope of work: * Inspect the air conditioning, heating and ventilation system to identify the source of the smell. * Professionally clean and sanitise the ductwork, vents and any affected components. * Check for any build-up of dust, mould, bacteria or other potential causes of the odour. * Service the system where required. Important: The premises have very high ceilings, so you must have access to suitable professional equipment to safely reach and clean the ducts and vents. We are looking for a qualified specialist with experience in commercial HVAC systems, rather than a general cleaner. Please get in touch with your experience, the equipment you have available and an estimated cost for the work. Happy to arrange a site visit to assess the system before quoting.
