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.

Help remounting a large, electric roller-blind that has fallen down

£60

Troubleshoot and fix outdoor lights

£150

Purley, Greater London, CR8

12th Aug 2026

Qualified electrician needed to fault-find and repair outdoor garden lighting My outdoor lighting circuit stopped working about a year ago. Nothing tripped at the consumer unit and I have confirmed the circuit breaker is on and holding, so I suspect a failed connection in one of the outdoor junction boxes (the older non-gel type) rather than an earth fault. The setup: • Single run of garden lights fed from the consumer unit in the garage • Two PIR motion sensors, one at the top and one at the bottom of outdoor steps • Several outdoor junction boxes along the run, all accessible The job: 1. Fault-find the circuit to locate the break (may need insulation resistance testing if nothing is visible) 2. Replace any failed junction boxes with gel-filled ones (e.g. Wiska gel type). Happy for you to supply, or I can buy them if you tell me how many 3. Check both PIRs are working and confirm the circuit tests healthy before finishing Requirements: • Must be a qualified electrician (18th Edition). Please state your qualifications and whether you're NICEIC/NAPIT registered when you reply • Must have test equipment (multifunction tester) in case the fault isn't visible in the boxes Please quote for the fault-finding visit, with parts and any extra time agreed before proceeding if it turns out to be more than a junction box.

Fixing and finding the cause of broken portable air con unit

£80

Mitcham, Greater London

4th Aug 2026

I have a serene life portable air con unit, 14000 BTU, it cost a lot of money and only had for 6 weeks and it’s already messing up, with the cool setting it will go from cold to hot and it’s started to make all different loud noises as if it’s about to blow up. I’ve cleaned the filters. The hose has no kink in it. We did try a longer hose so it could fit out the window without coming out but didn’t realise it was an insulated tube which may have messed it up.
