Electrician in Bristol

Electrical work for homeowners, landlords and businesses across Bristol, from a single dead socket to a full rewire. Every job is done by a fully qualified, insured electrician, and there's a 24/7 emergency callout for when something goes wrong out of hours.

Working on Bristol's older homes

A large share of Bristol's housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, in areas like Bishopston, Redland, Easton, Totterdown and Southville. Most have been rewired at some point, but often in stages. It's common to find newer circuits running alongside old ones, a consumer unit that has been added to over the years, or sockets and lights extended off circuits that were never meant to carry them.

We test what's there before recommending anything. Sometimes a couple of circuits need attention; sometimes a rewire makes more sense. When new cables are needed we lift floorboards and use existing voids where we can, to keep chasing and making good to a minimum. You'll get a clear quote before any work starts, and nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Newer flats and estates, from the Harbourside to Bradley Stoke, usually have modern wiring, but still need the odd extra socket, outside light, kitchen circuit or fault tracing.

Landlords, HMOs and converted flats

Bristol has a lot of rented property: student houses around Redland, Cotham and Bishopston, HMOs across the city, and big Victorian houses split into flats. Private landlords in England need an EICR (electrical installation condition report) at least every five years, must give tenants a copy, and must put right anything the report says is dangerous or needs further investigation, usually within 28 days.

Converted buildings bring their own jobs: landlord supplies for hallways and stairwells, several consumer units in one building, and fire alarms that suit the layout. We can test, report and carry out the remedial work, and arrange access with you or your letting agent.

Businesses in Bristol

From shops on Gloucester Road and North Street to offices, cafés, workshops and units on trading estates, small businesses need electrics that are safe and don't get in the way of trading. We install power and lighting, distribution boards (including three-phase), exterior lighting and fire alarm panels, and carry out commercial EICRs. Where it helps, we'll plan the work around your opening hours.

Bristol electrician questions

Do you cover the whole of Bristol?

Yes. We cover the whole city, from Clifton, Redland and Bishopston to Bedminster, Easton, Fishponds, Horfield and Kingswood, and north Bristol areas such as Filton and Bradley Stoke.

How quickly can you come out in an emergency?

We run a 24/7 emergency callout. How soon we can get to you depends on where you are and what else is booked in, so call 07477 017759 and we'll give you an honest answer. If something is sparking, smoking or smells hot, switch off at the consumer unit if it's safe to and keep away from it.

Do you do landlord EICRs in Bristol?

Yes, for single lets, HMOs and buildings split into flats. You'll get the full report to keep and to give your tenants. If it lists anything coded C1, C2 or FI, we'll give you a clear quote for the remedial work and confirm in writing once it's done.

Can you work in a student let or HMO while tenants are living there?

Yes. We'll agree access with you or your agent, let tenants know in advance when the power will be off, and keep disruption to a minimum.

Do you cover places around Bristol?

Yes. We also cover towns near the city such as Keynsham, Portishead, Clevedon, Nailsea, Thornbury and Yate, and further afield across the South West.
