Emergency Electrical Services
Electrical faults should always be checked as they often pose a risk. Power loss, heat, sparks, burning smells, buzzing sounds, or repeated tripping indicate a problem with the circuit, fitting, cable, or consumer unit.
We provide emergency electricians in Ingatestone for urgent electrical problems. Emergency call-outs include no call-out charges.
Emergency electrical work covers:
- Loss of power

- Hot sockets or switches
- Burning smells
- Buzzing fittings

- Flickering lights
If a fitting smells hot, has burn marks, buzzes or keeps tripping, stop using it until it. Get it checked by a member of our team. The electrician will assess the fault, ensure safety, and explain the next step.
Landlords Certificates
Landlords have a legal duty for electrical safety in their rental properties. They must ensure the electrical system is safe and fit for use. This is to ensure their tenants and property are protected. An EICR involves inspecting the electrical system and recording any issues that need attention.
We carry out EICR testing for landlords, letting agents, rental property owners and homeowners. We help landlords understand the condition of their electrics, undertake any remedial work and write the required certification.
An EICR includes checks on:
- Fixed wiring
- Consumer units
- Protective devices
- Sockets and switches
- Lighting circuits
- Earthing and bonding
- Electrical accessories
Once the inspection is done and the report is complete, the findings are explained in plain English. If repairs are needed, a clear quote can be provided. Once the property is passed, an EICR certificate is issued.


Consumer Units
The consumer unit controls the circuits in your property. It houses RCD fuses, which respond when a fault is detected. Protecting your electrical system and those using it.

Wiring & Rewiring
Rewiring involves replacing old, damaged or unsafe cables. It’s often required during renovation work, where socket positions, lighting points, and circuits need to be redesigned.
We provide full and partial rewiring. Our electricians in Ingatestone will survey your property, discuss the work, plan the installation and provide a written quote.
