Local Expertise You Can Rely On

We’re not just another electrician in Barkingside—we’re part of the wider community, working across homes just like yours every day.

We’ve seen it all…

Old rubber cables crumbling away, overloaded fuse boards, DIY additions that have built up over the years. These systems sit quietly working away until they don’t anymore.

And that’s usually when we get the call.

Our approach is simple:

  • Explain everything in plain English
  • Give you honest options (not just the most expensive one)
  • Carry out safe, compliant work you can rely on

Sometimes it’s a full rewire. Sometimes it’s just upgrading a fuse box and testing the existing cables. Either way, it’s better to know where you stand than to have that worry sitting in the back of your mind.

That’s why so many customers choose us as their trusted electrician in Barkingside—because we focus on doing the job properly, not just quickly.

New oven fitted Loughton

Fitting a New Oven

Have you brought and received a new cooker and need it fitting? or a company has been paid to install it however when they turn up, they say

Your installation is not how they expected it to be, or is unsafe for them to proceed?

Don't panic we hear this all the time and it is normal, not all electrics are installed the same. Many of them installed by kitchen fitting companies and not up to current regulations.

Old Storage Heater

Old Storage Heaters

Economy Seven (E7) storage heating, using cheaper off-peak electricity, certainly sounds like a good idea. More recent heaters are a good idea – but some older installations may well be in urgent need of replacement.

Older storage heaters are typically coloured brown, take up unreasonable amounts of living space, and tend to look unsightly in almost any room – especially one that has recently been decorated! There is little you can do to improve their appearance – you can’t cover them with MDF radiator covers, and they can’t be painted.

In the kitchen, it can hold moisture against the electrical socket or if on an extension lead or kettle that makes the plug hot in normal operation this card is not as heat rated as the wall socket or plug is manufactured to
