Electrician in Brightlingsea
Book Lighting Electrical for an EICR, fault diagnosis or circuit upgrade in Brightlingsea. Homeowners, landlords and buyers receive clear test findings before deciding what repair or renewal work should follow for their property.
“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.”

Electrician in Brightlingsea
- Lighting Electrical remains responsible for the work, and we work on homes and small businesses across Brightlingsea.
- Houses built after the war on Regent Road and Spring Road still run their first board.
- Waterside and Victoria Place property needs fittings that stand up to damp and salt.
- Landlords on Lower Park Road and Church Road book a report before new tenants arrive.
Electrical work on Brightlingsea streets
- Brightlingsea sits on the Colne estuary, and the housing changes as you come up from the water.
- Solid walls take surface routes, and outside fittings are sealed against the salt air.
- Post-war houses here have their original board and no spare ways left.
- Meter positions in porches and cupboards decide where the new unit can sit.

What happens on the day
You get clear company responsibility throughout from the van to the paperwork. We arrive, do the work, then leave the certificate with you.
- 01
Arrival and the written price
We pull up near the house or unit and walk the job with you. We confirm the written price, isolate the circuit we are working on, and clear the porch or under-stairs cupboard if the board is there. For a rewire we walk the cable run on the walls first. For an EICR We list every board, socket and accessory we will open.
- 02
The work itself
We fit the consumer unit, chase or clip the new cables, swap sockets and switches, hang lights, connect a cooker, shower, fan or EV charger, or test the circuits. Fault finding starts at the board, then follows the live and dead tests until the break is found. Out of hours emergency work is the same sequence, billed from £90 an hour.
- 03
Certificate before we leave
We restore power, show you the new board or the repaired circuit, and hand over the EICR, minor works certificate or installation certificate. PAT testing leaves a pass or fail sticker on each appliance. Fire alarm and emergency lighting tests leave the certificate with the responsible person. Lighting Electrical keeps the job details available for any follow-up.
Why customers choose Lighting Electrical
Brightlingsea customers see the figure first, meet Lighting Electrical on the day, and hold the certificate before the van leaves. The phone is answered at any hour, and booked work runs in opening hours.

Electrician in Brightlingsea questions
Plain answers on price, boards, lets and chargers for Brightlingsea houses and units.
How much does an EICR cost in Brightlingsea?+
EICR from £150. Let property is inspected on a five-yearly cycle, so we aim the visit at a gap between tenancies. Flat conversions sometimes share circuits, so testing one may need access to the next.
How much is a fuse board replacement?+
Consumer unit replacement from £450. Post-war estate houses often still run on the original rewirable board, which inspections commonly flag. Consumer units here often sit in a porch or under-stairs cupboard, which has to be cleared first.
How much does a rewire cost?+
House rewiring from £2,400. Terraces near the waterside are solid-walled, so a rewire is mapped before anything is lifted. That price is a starting price for the house as quoted, not a cap.

EV charger installation at 7.4kW from £750. We run a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit to the driveway on streets such as Colne Road, Sydney Street and Lower Park Road.
