I just need a light switch replaced. I haven't bought one to replace it with, so please bring one you can fit. A plain white one will be fine. Thanks

Modern light feature from Next Retaler in dining room fitted professionally just over a year ago has stopped working. Initially we have changed few light bulbs then replaced dimmer but still not working.It is possible that more bulbs need replacing but we cant identify wich one need an honest electrician to inspect asap.
Arrived late, quoted for the repair of a light, I agreed.20 mnts later was looking in his van for ages then he decided to go ang get new part and pumped the price up for the job.Over an hour later came back with the wrong part and said the light cannot be repaired.When I questioned the charge he reduced the price.My light its still not working and I paied £100 for nothing.How come this people are still allowed to trade? Outrageous!

Fairfield, SW11

I think it is resistors that need changing, it is just for two spot lights, although they were replaced about a year ago and only worked for a small period following this.
Really friendly, reliable, flexible and on time, definitely use again

The part of the connection that the bulb fits into is broken, so the bulb does'nt sit propperly it's a bayonet connection. Normally this part is fixed to a pendulum but in this case it's a ceiling connection.
They turned up on time, got on with the job and cleaned up behind them.Great job.

Partick West, G11

Halogen ceiling lights in kitchen and living room have loose connections. I had a quote from one west end electrician for £30, given it's a straight forward job. However, he had to call-off due to a family bereavement. Am looking to get these lights sorted today, tomorrow or Saturday (23rd March) for around the £30-mark.
Absolutely first rate: quick response, punctual, courteous and tidy. Job was more complex than I'd realised and Mr McBeth sorted it very effectively and quickly and without fuss (and without waking the baby!). And the price for the work carried out was very reasonable indeed. 11 out of 10!

We have a set of two halogen downlighters above our bookshelves. Yesterday they were not working so I changed the bulbs. They are still not working so I imagine that the transformer has gone. Please quote for sorting this out and let me know how soon it can be done. Thank you.
Very happy with the job James did.

Hi there. I need to have some additional plugs installed in three rooms of my house as well as a ceiling light reinstated. Currently there are no carpets down throughout the house since these are due to be changed shortly so this should make things easier i hope.
Great job and very reasonable rate per hour. Even agreed to do the work on a Sunday to suit me. Highly recommended.

The spotlights in my kitchen (installed by previous owner) are not working - two have been intermittent for a while and now one side of the kitchen isn't working at all. There are 7 spots in total. I have tried replacing bulbs but this has made no difference. I live in a ground floor flat so access is only available through the ceiling holes in which the spots are mounted.

Electricians

A local qualified electrician can do all sorts of electrical home improvements and repairs for you. From the usual lighting and power fixes to air conditioning, electric underfloor heating and security jobs like access control.

Micro-generation

For greener living, you can use an electrician to install micro-generation products like solar panels. This will save you money and mean you could even get paid in the future for the energy you produce for others.

The 'Competent Person' scheme

Electricians are getting qualified in micro-generation through schemes such as ELECSA that also runs the 'Competent Person' scheme for electricians. The 'Competent Person' scheme cuts out the hassle of home owners having to notify building regulations for most types of domestic electrical work. Electricians certified by the 'Competent Person' scheme carry out works which comply with current UK regulations for electrical work.

Electrical services and repairs

Most electrical jobs around the home are best left to a qualified electrician. Anything but the simplest tasks require specialist knowledge to ensure that they are carried out safely and effectively and to avoid severe health risks and damage to your appliances.

What does an electrician do?

The role of an electrician is to carry out electrical installations, repairs and emergency electrical work. Some specialise in installing electrical wiring in commercial, industrial and domestic buildings, while others spend most of their time performing maintenance and repairs on electrical systems and appliances.

A qualified electrician will generally carry out a wide variety of work. If you live in an old house with aging wiring, you may wish to hire an electrician to carry out a complete rewiring of the property to ensure its safety. If a fault has occurred within any element of your household electrical system, an electrician can be called upon to carry out emergency electrical work to rectify the problem. Other electrical jobs include locating and fixing faults, repairing household electrical appliances and performing safety checks.

Common electrical installation work

As well as repairing existing electrical systems, a qualified electrician can also perform any electrical installations you may need doing in your home. This might be fitting new plug sockets as needed, installing a new fuse box or anything else associated with your household electricity supply. If you’re planning on having new lighting fitted in any part of your home, an electrician is the person to call. Some electricians meanwhile specialise in fitting electrical home improvements, such as electric showers and ceiling fans. When electrical work is needed, the sensible and safe option is to call the professionals.
