FAQs
What types of electrical repairs do you handle in Kingston?
We cover the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial electrical repairs, including fault-finding and rewiring of lighting or power circuits, replacement of damaged sockets, switches and light fittings, fuse-board upgrades, RCD tripping issues, appliance connection faults, electric shower repairs, and remedial work after failed EICR inspections. If you are unsure whether your problem fits into any of these categories, just call and we will advise you free of charge.
Are your electricians properly licensed and insured?
Yes. Every electrician we send to your property is City & Guilds qualified, NICEIC-approved, and carries full public liability insurance up to £5 million. Our team also undergoes regular safety training and DBS checks, so you can be confident that the work will be compliant with the latest BS 7671 (18th Edition) wiring regulations and carried out by trustworthy professionals.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency electrical issue?
For urgent problems such as power loss, burning smells from wiring, sparking sockets, or fuse-board failures, we offer a true 24/7 emergency call-out service across Kingston and surrounding areas. In most cases an engineer can be on site within 60–90 minutes. Outside of emergencies, we provide same-day or next-day appointments to minimise disruption to your home or business.
What signs indicate I need professional electrical repair instead of a DIY fix?
Warning signs include frequent breaker trips or blown fuses, buzzing outlets or switches, lights that flicker or dim when appliances start, a burning or fishy odour near electrical panels, discoloured or warm outlets, and shocks when touching appliances. DIY work on these issues can be dangerous and may invalidate insurance or warranties. If you notice any of the above—or simply feel unsure—call us for a safety inspection and repair.
How much will my electrical repair cost?
We operate transparent pricing with no hidden extras. For standard repairs we charge a fixed diagnostic fee, which is waived if you proceed with the repair. After diagnosing the fault, the electrician will provide a written, itemised quote before any work starts. Typical small fixes (e.g., replacing a socket) start from £85, while more complex jobs such as consumer-unit upgrades are quoted individually. Senior citizens and landlords with multiple properties benefit from discounted rates.
Do you guarantee the work and parts you supply?
Absolutely. All workmanship is backed by a 12-month labour warranty, and parts are covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee (usually 1–5 years, depending on the component). If the same fault reoccurs within the warranty period, we will return promptly and rectify it at no extra cost. Your satisfaction and safety are our top priorities.
