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.

With Airtasker, finding available emergency electricians in your area is fast and easy!

Electrician to fix my timer switch

£60

Ratcliff, Greater London

2nd Jan 2026

I'm switching my old timer switch with a new switch. It's used for immersion water heater. I have already attempted to do it myself and it kind of works but I'm worried about a few things: 1) the new switch uses screw terminal connectors and the stranded wires may not have good enough connectivity. I even heard buzzing sound at some point. I think it may need ferrules or something similar? 2) I need some extra 3.5mmx50 screws to securely fix the timer to the wall. The current screws I got are bit too short. 3) The back box is a bit flimsy, it works but not sure if I need to replace it. But this is the lowest priority aspect of the job

Happy with the work, very speedy

Pre-Purchase Survey: Electric Oven Install & Gas Pipe Assessment

£40

Kentish Town, Greater London, NW5

1st Jan 2026

Hi, I need a qualified professional to assess a kitchen cabinet space before I purchase a new built-in electric oven. I need to know exactly what type of oven (power rating) I can install and if modifications are needed. The Situation: • Space: I have a standard under-counter cabinet space. • Electrical: There is currently an electric hob installed above the space. It appears to be hardwired into a white wall outlet. I need to know if this circuit can support a new hardwired oven, or if I must buy a standard plug-in (13 amp) model. • Gas Obstruction: There is an old copper gas pipe with an isolation valve sticking out in the back left corner of the cabinet. It appears to be disconnected but I need a professional to confirm it is safe and determine if it needs to be capped/shortened to allow the new oven to fit physically. What I need from you: 1. Electrical Load Check: Test/calculate if the existing supply supports a second hardwired appliance. 2. Measurements: Confirm the max depth available considering the gas pipe obstruction. 3. Advice: Tell me specifically which oven rating (kW) to order. 4. (Optional): If you can cap/move the gas pipe and install the oven once I order it, please let me know your rate for the return visit. Qualifications Required: • Please only apply if you are comfortable assessing electrical loads. • Ideally, you have gas experience/certification (e.g., Gas Safe) in case the pipe needs immediate attention.

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 😁
