General Electrical Services

Our General Electrical Services in Watford & Hertfordshire

Our qualified electricians handle the full spectrum of domestic electrical work. Here’s what we offer across Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, and throughout Hertfordshire:

Local Electrician Services

As your local electrician in Watford and Hertfordshire, we’re never far away when you need us. Our electricians live and work in the area, providing fast response times for both planned installations and urgent electrical repairs. Whether it’s a tripping circuit breaker at 7am or a socket needed for your new home office, we deliver prompt, professional service to neighbours across the region.

Domestic Electrical Installations

From complete house rewires to new circuit installations, our electricians design and install electrical systems that meet your household needs. We handle kitchen and bathroom electrical work, extension wiring, garage and outbuilding installations, and new build electrical fit-outs. Every installation is planned to current regulations with proper certification provided upon completion.

Electrical Repairs & Maintenance

Electrical faults can be frustrating and potentially dangerous. Our experienced electricians quickly identify and repair common problems including flickering lights, dead sockets, faulty switches, intermittent power issues, and damaged wiring. We also provide regular electrical maintenance to keep your home’s system running safely and efficiently, preventing costly problems before they develop.

Fault Finding & Diagnostics

When something’s wrong with your electrics but you can’t identify the cause, our fault finding service gets to the heart of the problem. Using professional testing equipment, we systematically trace electrical issues through your circuits, identifying problems with wiring, connections, or components. From tripping RCDs to mysterious power cuts, we diagnose the fault and recommend the most cost-effective repair.

Additional Sockets & Switches

Modern homes never have enough sockets. We install additional socket outlets wherever you need them — home offices, kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas. Need USB charging sockets? Want dimmer switches for mood lighting? Require outdoor sockets for garden equipment? Our electricians install quality fittings that blend seamlessly with your existing electrical system, positioned exactly where they’re most useful.

Consumer Unit (Fuse Board) Upgrades

An outdated consumer unit puts your home at risk. Modern consumer units with RCD protection and MCBs offer far superior safety compared to old-style fuse boards with rewirable fuses. We upgrade consumer units to meet current 18th Edition regulations, providing proper circuit protection, RCD safety devices, and surge protection where required. Every consumer unit upgrade includes full testing and certification for your records and future property sales.

Electrical Safety Improvements

Electrical safety is paramount in every home. We identify and rectify safety issues including inadequate circuit protection, missing RCD devices, overloaded circuits, outdated wiring practices, and non-compliant installations. Whether highlighted in an EICR inspection report or identified during routine work, we recommend and implement safety improvements that bring your electrical system up to current standards.

Earthing & Bonding Upgrades

Proper earthing and bonding are essential for electrical safety, yet many properties have inadequate systems. We upgrade earth bonding to pipes, inspect and improve main earthing arrangements, install supplementary bonding in bathrooms and kitchens where required, and ensure your property’s earthing meets BS 7671 requirements. These critical safety measures protect you and your family from electric shock and ensure your home’s electrical system is fully compliant.
