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.

Fridge Door Fix and Spotlight Repair

£100

Wapping, Greater London, E1W

25th Mar 2026

I’m looking for an experienced handyman/electrician for two small but specific jobs. I’d prefer someone who is confident with both cabinetry adjustments and minor electrical work. Job 1 – Integrated Fridge Door Fix I have an integrated fridge built into a cupboard unit. The cupboard door that’s mounted onto the fridge has come off and needs to be properly reattached and aligned. The hinges and fixings may need checking or replacing to ensure it’s secure and sits flush again. I can provide photos in advance. Job 2 – Built-in Spotlights (Electrical) I have recessed ceiling spotlights (wired-in units, not simple twist-and-remove bulbs): Kitchen: One unit has failed completely and needs full replacement (not just a bulb swap). Bedroom: One spotlight is flickering and likely needs diagnosis (possible driver/connection issue or replacement). Additional notes: Please bring appropriate tools and any common replacement parts (or advise in advance if specific parts are needed). Looking for someone who can properly diagnose rather than trial-and-error fixes. Please only respond if you have experience with integrated appliances and fixed lighting systems. Let me know your availability and estimated cost.

Electric blinds fix

£200

Tower Hill, Greater London

27th Nov 2025

Hi there, Can you please assist with the below issue? Issue: The motorised blinds in our living room are stuck all the way down and now won't come back up. When we pressed the "down button" the blind caught on a chair and it kept rolling. The blinds have now rolled down onto the floor further than their original setting.When we pressed the "up" button, the motor won't pull them back upwards. We tried this a few times, and the motor at the top "popped" with a loud bang and a flash. We're unsure if this was a fuse issue or not. I’ve attached some photos of the blinds. We unfortunately don't have the make. I have attached all relevant photos. Address: 62 Balmoral House, London, SE12QR. Many thanks,
