What can a local electrician help with?
You know who to call if your lights stop working, but electricians can take care of much more than that. They install and maintain electrical systems, and provide services that include:
- Fitting electric showers
- Testing and fixing electrical appliances
- Electrical wiring and rewiring
- Installing new lights
- Air conditioning installation and repair
- Installing electric underfloor heating systems
They also carry out electrical installation condition reports (EICRs) that ensure your home’s electrics are safe. In case of an emergency, you can also hire an emergency electrician.

What are the signs of an electrical problem?
Here are five signs that your electrics are faulty:
- Scorched sockets or switches
- Flickering lights or a buzzing noise
- Electric shocks when you plug things into sockets
- Your fuse keeps blowing at random
- A burnt smell that doesn’t go away
It’s vital that you look after the wiring in your home. Failing to maintain your electrics properly could lead to an accident, like a shock or a fire. Damaged or old wiring is dangerous and should not be ignored.
We don’t recommend electrical DIY. According to the NICEIC (Electrical Inspection Council), ‘the safest way to do DIY electrics is not to do DIY electrics’ as this can impact on the electrical safety of your home.
Instead, if your electrics are showing any of these fault signs, we suggest you speak to an electrician as soon as possible.
How much do electricians cost to hire?
The cost of hiring an electrician varies depending on the type of work and where you live in the UK. On average, you can expect to pay between £20 and £80 per hour. Here are some average costs:
| Electrical installation/repair job | Average cost |
| Repair a light switch | Between £75 and 85 |
| Replace a broken fuse box or consumer unit | Between £300 and £600 |
| Get an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) | Between £100 and £350 |
| Rewire your entire property | Between £3,000 and £12,000 |
Your home needs a full rewiring every 25 years, and an electrics assessment every 10 years. For more details about rewiring your home, read our rewiring cost guide. Also check out our electrical installation condition report (EICR) blog to find out more about getting your electrics tested.
We recommend you ask for a few quotes from local electricians before making a decision.
What to look for in an electrician
Picking a qualified electrician will help you avoid stress and costly repairs. Before you hire, do your research to ensure who you pick:
- Is highly experienced, with a strong history of quality projects
- Has all the right licenses and insurance needed to protect you
- Has a good range of positive reviews from previous clients
- Is offering the services you need, and is able to carry out the work in the time frame you need it by
- Is quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other electricians
Local electricians are more likely to respond quickly, such as during emergencies. Post your job today to find a skilled electrician near you.
Other electrician FAQs
Do I need an electrician to change a light fitting?
Yes. While changing a light fitting might seem straightforward, it involves working with your home’s electrical system, which can be dangerous if not handled properly.
H3: How often should I rewire my home?
Rewiring is generally recommended every 25-30 years, depending on the property’s condition and updates.
What certifications do electricians need?
In the UK, electricians should be NICEIC or ELECSA certified, ensuring they meet national safety standards.

Marlon refitted my wall mounted bathroom fan heater which had exposed wiring. He replaced two wall switches - one had a chipped fuse cover and the other had wood filler smeared over it. He also replaced the broken metal back box to a double wall plug socket and refitted the socket outlet. He gave me a clear, comprehensive quote - no additional costs. He carried out the work promptly and efficiently. All in all a really good job. I would definitely hire him again. Thank you Marlon.
