What our local electricians do

The vetted local electricians in our network cover the full range of domestic electrical work, from the smallest job to a whole-house rewire. Here is what you can compare quotes for.

Rewires

An old or unsafe wiring system may need partially or fully replacing. A rewire is a big job, so it is exactly the kind of work where comparing several quotes from registered electricians protects your budget.

Fuse box and consumer unit upgrades

Older fuse boxes often lack modern safety protection. Upgrading to a current consumer unit with the right circuit breakers and RCD protection is one of the most common safety improvements homeowners make.

EICR safety certificates

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal check of your property’s wiring and is often needed by landlords, buyers and sellers. A registered electrician inspects and tests your installation, then issues the certificate.

Sockets, switches and lighting

Adding sockets, moving switches, fitting new light fittings, downlights or outdoor lighting. Everyday improvements that make a home more comfortable and easier to live in.

Fault-finding and repairs

Lights that flicker, a circuit that keeps tripping or sockets that have stopped working. A good electrician traces the fault safely and puts it right, rather than guessing.

EV chargers

Home charging points for electric vehicles are increasingly popular and must be installed by a suitably qualified electrician. Comparing quotes helps you find a fair price and a competent installer.

PAT testing

Portable Appliance Testing checks that plug-in electrical equipment is safe to use. It is commonly needed by landlords and small businesses, and our electricians can carry it out alongside other work.

Small jobs welcome

Plenty of homeowners struggle to get an electrician to turn up for the little jobs: an extra socket, a single light fitting, a fuse that keeps tripping or a faulty switch. Larger firms often will not bother, which leaves you stuck.

We are different. The vetted local electricians in our network are happy to quote for small jobs as well as big ones. So whether you need a five-minute fix or a full rewire, you can compare up to 5 free quotes from registered electricians near you, with no job treated as too small.

Tell us what needs doing, however minor it feels, and we will match you with electricians who genuinely want the work.

Emergency electrician? Get help fast

Some electrical problems are a safety risk and should not wait. If you have no power, a burning smell from sockets or your fuse box, scorch marks, sparks, or a fuse box that keeps tripping and will not reset, treat it as urgent.

If you can smell burning or see sparks, switch off the power at the consumer unit if it is safe to reach, and do not use the affected sockets or appliances. Then get a vetted emergency electrician near you on the way.

Our emergency electrician service connects you quickly with registered local electricians who offer urgent and out-of-hours call-outs, so qualified help is on its way while you keep everyone safe. For anything that is not urgent, such as extra sockets, a new light or an EICR, the standard free-quote route above will get you better prices without an emergency premium.

How much does an electrician cost?

Electrical prices vary by job, region and timing, so the figures below are general UK guidance to help you budget. The most reliable way to know your cost is to compare several quotes from registered local electricians.

Hourly rate: UK electricians typically charge around £40 to £60 per hour, more in London, though many quote a fixed price per job rather than by the hour.
Call-out charge: a standard call-out is usually about £40 to £100, often including the first 30 to 60 minutes, with higher rates out of hours. Always confirm what the call-out covers.
EICR safety certificate: an EICR generally costs around £150 to £300, depending on the size of the property and the number of circuits.
Fuse box upgrade: upgrading a consumer unit typically costs around £350 to £600 fitted, including testing.
Full rewire: rewiring a typical three-bedroom house usually costs around £4,000 to £7,000, depending on size, access and finish.

Because prices vary so widely, especially on bigger jobs like rewires and fuse box upgrades, comparing up to 5 free quotes from vetted electricians is the simplest way to avoid overpaying and to understand exactly what is included.

Registered and vetted electricians only

Registration: we check that electricians are registered with a recognised competent-person scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT, so their work meets the required standards and Part P building regulations for electrical safety in the home.
Insurance: we confirm that the tradespeople we match you with carry valid public liability insurance, protecting you and your home if anything goes wrong.
Genuine reviews: you can see real feedback from previous customers, so you are judging each electrician on their actual track record.
Local knowledge: we match you with electricians who genuinely cover your area, so they can reach you promptly.

This focus on registered, insured, qualified and reviewed tradespeople is what lets you hire with real confidence. You compare genuine quotes from electricians who have already been checked, and you stay in control at every step.
