Our Services

When something goes wrong with your electrics, it rarely waits for a good time. Our emergency electrician service runs 24/7 across Oxford for power cuts, burning smells, sparking sockets and trips that will not reset. We make the fault safe first, then fix it. See our emergency electrician page for more.

If a breaker keeps tripping or part of the house has gone dead, there is a fault somewhere on the circuit. Our electrical fault finding uses proper test equipment to trace the cause rather than guessing. Many faults in Oxford homes are found and fixed in one visit. Read more on our fault finding page.

An EICR is a full check of your wiring, sockets, switches and consumer unit. It shows anything that is unsafe or out of date, with a clear code for each item. We carry out EICR electrical inspections for homeowners and buyers across Oxford. Find out what the report covers on our EICR page.

Landlords in England need a valid electrical safety report for every rented home, renewed at least every 5 years. We test the property, give you the report and help you put right anything that fails. We cover single lets and HMOs across Oxford. Visit our landlord certificate page to book.

Old rubber or fabric covered cable, missing earths and too few sockets are all signs a house may need rewiring. A house rewire replaces the cables, sockets, switches and often the consumer unit. We plan the work room by room to keep disruption low. See our house rewire page for how it works.

Older fuse boxes with wire fuses or no RCD protection fall short of today's standards. A consumer unit replacement gives you modern breakers that cut the power fast if there is a fault. We fit new units across Oxford and test every circuit. Our consumer unit page explains the job in full.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can an electrician get to me in Oxford?

For emergencies, we aim to get an electrician to you in Oxford as fast as we can, day or night. For planned work, we can usually book you in at a time that suits, including early mornings, evenings and weekends. Call us, tell us what has happened and we will give you a clear idea of timing.

What should I do if my power keeps tripping in Oxford?

Start by unplugging everything on the circuit that tripped, then reset the switch. If it holds, plug items back in one at a time to find the faulty one. If it trips with nothing plugged in, the fault is likely in the wiring. At that point, call an electrician to test the circuit and find it.

Do I need a certificate after electrical work in Oxford?

Yes, most electrical work should come with a certificate. A new circuit or consumer unit needs an Electrical Installation Certificate, and smaller jobs get a Minor Works Certificate. These show the work was tested and is safe to use. We give you the right paperwork when we finish every job in Oxford.
