Electrician in Fairlop – Tack Electrical

Located within the London Borough of Redbridge, Fairlop is a well-known suburban area with a strong community feel and a mix of residential homes, green spaces, and local amenities. Historically, Fairlop was part of the ancient Hainault Forest, with the famous Fairlop Oak once acting as a central meeting point for fairs and gatherings.

Today, the area is best recognised for Fairlop Waters Country Park, offering open green space, water sports, and a welcome break from busy London life. With a mix of older properties and newer developments, Fairlop presents a wide range of electrical systems – some modern and efficient, others quietly ageing and ready for attention.

Local Expertise You Can Rely On

We’ve worked across Fairlop and the surrounding areas for years, and we know exactly what we’re walking into when we arrive at a property.

Older homes? We often find ageing fuse boards tucked under stairs, cables that have done 40–50 years of service, and additions made over time that don’t quite add up anymore.

Newer builds? Sometimes the installation looks neat on the surface, but hasn’t been set up properly for modern electrical demand.

This is where we come in.

We’re a trusted electrician in Fairlop because we don’t just “do the job” – we explain what’s going on in plain English, give you options, and help you make the right decision.

A common scenario we see:

A customer calls us out for a fault…

We investigate…

We find underlying issues that could’ve caused a much bigger problem down the line.

That’s where the real value is.

It doesn’t always mean a full rewire. Sometimes it’s a fuse box upgrade and a few targeted improvements – as long as the existing cables test out safely with our specialist equipment.

It’s always better to know where you stand than have it sitting in the back of your mind.

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.

Remove The Plug Wiring Card!

This information they give us on how the plug is wired is very nice, however, if you leave the card on the plug it can cause issues its self.

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
