Electrician in Silver End
Electrician in Silver End for rewiring, inspections, fuse board work and added circuits, with cable routes planned around flat roofs, solid walls and existing finishes.
“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 Silver End
- Lighting Electrical remains responsible for the work, and we cover Silver End homes and small workplaces.
- Silver Street and Francis Way houses were built together in the late 1920s and repeat the same faults.
- Valentine Way and Manors Way houses often need the board and the earthing brought up to date.
- Flat roofs leave no loft, so lighting is run through ceilings and cupboards.
Electrical work on Silver End houses
- Silver End was built as a Crittall village, so the stock is of one age and behaves the same way.
- There is no loft to run through, so upstairs circuits go under the floors.
- Chasing is limited, so some runs are surface in trunking that suits the room.
- Tight reveals leave little room beside the frame for a socket or a switch.
Electrical services for Silver End homes and landlords

What happens on the day
We come to the Silver End address. The visit follows the same order on a house in Francis Way or a workshop on Sheepcotes Lane.
- 01
Arrival and isolation
We arrive, walk the rooms with you, and isolate the circuits we will work on. On a flat roof house we check floor access first. On a Crittall house we check the window reveals before any socket comes off. An EICR starts from £150, with testing beginning at the consumer unit and moving circuit by circuit.
- 02
The work itself
We fit the board, chase or trunk as priced, run the new cables, or find the fault. Fault finding from £75 per hour is time on the tools until the circuit is stable. A downlight at £65 per fitting goes in only after we have checked the ceiling. We keep dust down and put furniture back as we go.
- 03
Test and certificate
We test the work, restore power, and leave the paperwork. An EICR, a minor works certificate from £95, or an emergency lighting test from £150 is handed over before we leave. You keep the same number for any follow up.

Electrician questions in Silver End
These are the questions we are asked on Silver Street, Broadway and Sheepcotes Lane.
How much does an EICR cost in Silver End?+
An EICR, the electrical safety report, starts from £150. The starting price covers the inspection and the written report for a typical house. Extra circuits or a large commercial unit are priced on the survey.
How much does a rewire cost in a Silver End house?+
House rewiring starts from £2,400. Flat roof houses on Silver Street and Francis Way need under floor runs, which we price after we have seen the voids. Solid wall houses on Broadway may need trunking. The starting price is not a fixed figure for every house.
How much is a new fuse board?+
Consumer unit replacement starts from £450. That is the new board and the labour to fit it. Earthing that was never updated with an older board, which is common in this village, is listed on the quote if the test needs it.
Can you fit an EV charger in the conservation area?+
A 7.4kW EV charger installation starts from £750. Because Silver End is a conservation area, the visible box and the cable on the elevation are settled with you before we drill. We will say if the drive or the meter position will not take a neat run.
What does fault finding cost?+
Fault finding and repair starts from £75 per hour. Out of hours emergency electrician work starts from £90 per hour. We isolate, test, and repair or tell you if a wider rewire is the cheaper long term answer.
Do you fit lights, sockets and alarms?+
Downlight installation starts from £65 per fitting. Light switch or dimmer replacement starts from £60. Socket installation or replacement starts from £85. Smoke and heat alarm installation starts from £110. Fire alarm system installation starts from £1,400. Commercial lighting installation starts from £65 per fitting.
