Domestic and commercial electrician in Colchester
We test, repair and install electrics in houses, flats, shops and small premises across Colchester and nearby Essex towns.
“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

Valandi arrived on time at just after 9.00am and worked through until around 8.30pm. It was a long day for him and a number of issues needed to be overcome, but he persevered, and didn't leave until everything was working ok. He kept to the original fixed price.
