Emergency Electricians
Our emergency electricians in Southend provide same-day help for urgent electrical faults.
There is no call-out fee. The minimum charge is one hour of labour. You will know what the repair will cost before work begins.
Call us if you notice:
- Power loss affecting only your property
- Circuits which keep tripping
- Burning smells
- Burn marks on sockets or switches
- Buzzing consumer units, sockets or switches
- Exposed or damaged wiring
- Arcing or crackling noises
- Hot, loose or damaged sockets and switches
- Water or flood damage to electrics
- Any other concerns you have
Our team will trace the cause of the fault before recommending a repair. Often, the problem is fixed during the same visit.
If several nearby properties lose power, check with your electricity network operator first. A fault inside your property may be responsible if only your power is affected.

EICR Certificates
Need to check your electrical system or meet your landlord duties? We carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports for homes, rental properties and businesses.

If you are a landlord renting out a home, an EICR is required at least every five years.

Visit our EICR page for more on the inspection, report and what happens next.
Consumer Units
If your fuse box is damaged, lacks modern protection, or keeps tripping, it needs to be checked. An upgrade may be required.
You may also need an upgrade when adding new circuits, extending your home or carrying out renovation work.
Consumer unit services include:
- New consumer unit installation
- Fuse box replacement
- RCD and RCBO protection
- Surge protection
- Additional circuits
- Testing and certification
Modern protective devices will cut the power when certain electrical faults occur. This helps protect your electrical system and those using it.
Visit our consumer unit page to learn more about upgrades, protection and what happens during installation.
Sockets & Switches
Need more power points, a damaged socket replaced or better control over your lighting? Our team install and upgrade sockets and switches in homes, rentals and commercial premises.
We can help with:
- Extra single and double sockets
- Replacement sockets and switches
- USB sockets and dimmer switches
- Smart sockets and switches
- Decorative faceplates
- Cooker and appliance switches
- Fused spurs and shaver sockets
- Outdoor power points
Sockets and switches can also be planned around an extension, renovation or room change. New positions can make power easier to access and use.
Visit our sockets and switches page for more on installation, replacement and the options available.
Lighting
Need better light indoors or outside? We can replace old fittings, add new lighting or upgrade you to LED.
Indoor Lighting
Indoor lighting can be planned around how you use each room. You may need more light for cooking, working or reading.
Indoor options include:
- Downlights
- Ceiling and pendant lights
- Kitchen and bathroom lighting
- Wall and under-cabinet lights
- Dimmer controls
- LED bulbs

Full & Part Rewiring
Our Southend electricians carry out full and partial rewiring for older homes, extensions, renovations and new builds.
You may need rewiring if cables are damaged, worn or cannot support planned changes to your electrical system.
Rewiring work includes:
- Full house rewiring
- Partial rewiring
- Wiring for extensions and renovations
- New circuits
- Replacement of damaged cables
- Consumer unit checks and upgrades
- Testing and certification
Before any rewire is recommended, we will inspect your existing installation and assess its condition. You will know whether a full rewire or a smaller upgrade is needed.
Visit our rewiring page for more on surveys, planning, disruption and what happens during the work.
Appliance Installation
Bought a new oven, hob or cooker which needs more than a standard plug? Some appliances need a fixed connection or dedicated circuit.
We can help with:
- Built-in oven installation
- Electric hob installation
- Cooker connections
- Dedicated appliance circuits
- Isolation switches
- Supply checks before fitting
Before installation, the existing supply is checked to see if it is suitable. If a new circuit is needed, we will fit it before the appliance is connected.
After fitting, the circuit and connection are tested as part of the installation.
Visit our appliance installation page for more on hard-wired appliances, dedicated circuits and what may be needed before fitting.
Earthing & Bonding
Earthing and bonding are always checked and tested when electrical work is done.
Checks include:
- Main earthing arrangements
- Protective bonding
- Connections to incoming services
- Signs of damage or poor connections
Earthing and bonding help reduce the risk of electric shock if a fault develops.
If an inspection finds the existing protection is not suitable, some work may be required before the main job can go ahead. We’ll let you know what needs changing and why before any extra work starts.
Visit our earthing and bonding page for more on checks, upgrades and when work may be needed.
Outdoor Power
Need power near the patio, shed, driveway or side of your home? A fixed outdoor socket will save you from running extension leads through doors or windows.
Outdoor power is useful for:
- Lawnmowers and garden tools
- Pressure washers
- Patio and entertaining areas
- Sheds and outdoor workspaces
- Power near driveways or side access
Socket positions can be planned around where you use your tools the most. Outdoor sockets include fittings and electrical protection suited to the location.
Visit our outdoor power page for more on socket positions, protection and installation.
Smoke & Heat Alarms
Need new alarms or want better warning across your home or rental property? We install mains-powered, interlinked smoke and heat alarm systems.
We install:
- Mains-powered smoke alarms
- Heat alarms for suitable areas
- Interlinked alarm systems
- Battery backup
- Additional alarms for wider coverage
- Alarm options for hearing loss
With an interlinked system, one alarm will trigger the others. This gives you warning across all floors of your property.
Smoke and heat alarms are suited to different areas. The right choice depends on the room, layout and how the space is used.
We will assess your property, recommend suitable alarm types and positions, then test the linked system after installation.
Visit our smoke and heat alarms page for more on alarm types, positioning and interlinking.
