Who we are

Small team. Every job signed off by a qualified electrician.

Breaker is six electricians and one van each. We answer our own phone, give a fixed price before we lift a floorboard and leave the house cleaner than we found it.

  1. 01

    Fixed price first

    You get the full price in writing before work starts. If we find something unexpected, we stop and ask.

  2. 02

    Tidy by habit

    Dust sheets down, boots off, holes filled. You should only notice the new switch.

  3. 03

    Signed and certified

    Every job ends with the right certificate, registered with building control where needed.

Emergency

No power at 2 a.m.? Someone will pick up.

Our emergency line is answered by an electrician, not a call centre. Tell us what happened and we will tell you what is safe to do while we drive over.

Rated 4.9 by the people who let us in.

★★★★★

Rewired our whole terrace while we lived in it. Every evening the house was swept and the power was back on. I genuinely did not think that was possible.

Hannah W. Crookes · Full and partial rewires
★★★★★

Clear price on the phone, turned up at 7:30 as promised, new board in by lunch. Labelled every circuit, which my old box never was.

Two other electricians just reset the trip and left. Tom spent an hour testing and found water in the garden light. Not a single trip since.
