Choosing the right Electrician in Chigwell matters because electrical problems are rarely something to leave to chance. A faulty socket, an outdated fuse board or a damaged cable can quickly become more serious if ignored.

About Us
T.M Hughes & Son Electrical Services Ltd. works with homeowners, landlords and businesses who need electrical work completed to a high standard. We handle domestic, commercial and emergency electrical jobs, offering practical solutions for everything from simple repairs to more involved installation projects.
The team understand that customers want electricians who turn up when expected, explain the work clearly and leave the property tidy once the job is complete. Electrical work can feel stressful, especially when something has stopped working or a safety issue has been found, so our aim is to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
As NICEIC-registered Chigwell Electricians, the team can work on a wide range of property types, including older homes, modern houses, rental properties, extensions, and commercial units.
We provide free surveys and quotes for all Electrical work. Emergency call-outs include no call-out charges.
Domestic Electrical Services
Domestic electrical work covers many of the jobs needed to keep a home safe, practical and comfortable. This includes installing new sockets, replacing switches, upgrading lighting, fitting consumer units, carrying out rewiring, repairing faults and checking the condition of existing wiring.
Homeowners often call our electricians in Chigwell when they notice repeated tripping, flickering lights, warm sockets, buzzing switches or electrical fittings that no longer work properly. These issues may seem minor at first, but they can point to a deeper problem in the circuit.
We’ll inspect the issue, identify the cause and recommend the right repair or upgrade. Our Electricians also help with planned improvements, such as adding power to new rooms, garden buildings, kitchens and outdoor spaces.
Emergency Electrical Services
Electrical emergencies happen without warning. A burning smell from a socket, sparks from a switch, a consumer unit which keeps tripping, exposed wiring, water-damaged electrics or a sudden loss of power should always be taken seriously.
Our emergency electricians in Chigwell provide a quick response with no call-out charges . The first priority is to make the property safe, then trace the fault and repair the issue where possible. Emergency call-outs may involve checking the consumer unit, isolating unsafe circuits, testing affected wiring or replacing damaged accessories.
If there’s a serious electrical issue, it is always safer to call a qualified electrician than to try to repair it yourself. Electrical faults can pose serious safety risks and cause further damage if handled incorrectly.
Landlords Certificates
Landlords have a responsibility to make sure the electrical installation in their rental property is safe for tenants. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the safety and condition of the fixed wiring, circuits, consumer unit and electrical accessories within the property.
We provide electrical services in Chigwell for landlords who need EICR testing and certification. During the inspection, the electrician checks for damage, deterioration, overloaded circuits, poor earthing, outdated equipment and other potential safety concerns.
If the installation passes, the landlord receives the relevant report. If problems are found, the report will explain what remedial work is needed, along with a quote for the repairs.
Our EICR services ensure landlords stay compliant, protect tenants and reduce the risk of electrical faults in the property.
Consumer Units
The consumer unit is the centre of the electrical system. It controls the power supply to different circuits around the property and helps protect the building from faults, overloads and electrical hazards.
Older fuse boards don’t provide the same level of protection as modern consumer units. Some older units still use rewirable fuses or lack suitable RCD or RCBO protection. This makes the system less safe, especially in homes with modern electrical demands.
We install and upgrade consumer units, making sure the new board is suitable for the property and the circuits it serves. After installation, the system is tested and certified, so you have confidence that your new consumer unit is installed properly and is safe for use.
Wiring & Rewiring
Rewiring is undertaken when a property has old, damaged or unsafe wiring. Many older homes were not designed for the number of appliances, devices and electrical demands used today. Warning signs include frequent tripping, old cable colours, cracked sockets, flickering lights, burning smells or failed electrical inspections.
Our Chigwell Electricians may recommend a full or partial rewire depending on the condition of the installation. A full rewire replaces the wiring throughout the property, while a partial rewire focuses on specific rooms, circuits or areas affected by renovation work.
Although rewiring can be disruptive, it’s often one of the most important improvements for long-term safety. It will also make your property more practical by allowing extra sockets, improved lighting and safer circuit layouts.
We provide free surveys and quotes for Rewiring.
Sockets & Switches
Sockets and switches are used every day, so they need to be safe, secure and suitable for the way the property is used. We replace damaged fittings, install additional sockets, move existing points and upgrade old switches or faceplates.
Extra sockets reduce the need for extension leads, which are often overused in modern homes. Customers may also choose sockets with USB ports, fast-charger ports, decorative finishes, cooker switches, fused connection units, or specialist fittings for appliances. We fit all.
Outdoor sockets are also useful for gardens, patios, garages and outdoor equipment. These are weatherproof, correctly rated and protected for safe use outside. Proper installation allows tools, lighting and garden equipment to be powered safely without running extension leads through doors or windows.
Lighting
Lighting affects how a property looks, feels and functions. Good lighting improves safety, makes rooms easier to use and creates a comfortable atmosphere. We install indoor, outdoor, and security lighting installations.
Inside the home, this includes ceiling lights, downlights, feature lighting, kitchen lighting, bathroom lighting and lighting for home offices or utility areas. Different rooms need different types of lighting, from bright task lighting to softer general lighting.
We fit Outside lighting for driveways, gardens, entrances, patios, garages, and side access routes. Security lighting includes motion-sensor lighting, which helps deter intruders and makes dark areas safer to use at night.
Earthing & Bonding
Earthing and bonding is essential for a safe electrical installation. It reduces the risk of electric shock by ensuring that fault current has a safe path to ground and that metal pipework and other conductive parts are correctly connected.
Older properties may have outdated or inadequate earthing and bonding, especially if the electrical system hasn’t been checked for many years. This can become an issue during inspections, consumer unit upgrades, rewiring or other electrical work.
We can inspect your property’s earthing and bonding and advise whether upgrades are needed.
Appliance Installation
Some appliances need to be hard-wired directly into the mains rather than plugged into a standard socket. This can include ovens, hobs, extractor fans, electric showers and other fixed appliances. For safety, this work should always be carried out by a qualified electrician.
We provide safe appliance installation for homes and rental properties in Chigwell. The service can include disconnecting the old appliance, connecting the new one to the correct circuit and checking that everything is working as it should.
Once installed, the appliance can be tested properly, giving you confidence that it has been fitted safely and correctly.
Smoke & Heat Alarms
Smoke and heat alarms are vital for fire safety in homes, rental properties and commercial buildings. A properly installed alarm system gives people more time to react if a fire starts, making a major difference in an emergency.
Our Electricians install mains-powered smoke and heat alarms with battery backup. These can also be interlinked, meaning that when one alarm is triggered, the others sound simultaneously. This is especially useful in larger homes, rental properties and buildings where people may not hear a single alarm from another room.
Heat alarms are often used in kitchens, while smoke alarms are commonly installed in hallways, landings and escape routes. The right setup depends on your property’s layout and use.
Commercial Electrical Services
Businesses need electrical systems they can rely on. Faulty lighting, damaged wiring, overloaded circuits or power failures can disrupt staff, customers and daily operations. We provide commercial and electrical support for shops, offices, restaurants, salons, warehouses and other business premises.
Commercial work includes lighting installations, power supplies, emergency repairs, testing, maintenance, consumer unit upgrades, data cabling and fault finding. The aim is to complete work safely while minimising disruption to your business.
A commercial electrician can also help identify issues before they become expensive problems. Whether the job involves a small repair or a larger installation, our Electricians provide practical support for businesses in and around Chigwell.
Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning
