Electrician in Witham
Electrician in Witham for EICRs, fuse board replacements, fault finding, rewiring and new circuits, with testing and certification clearly explained before work begins.
“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 Witham
- Lighting Electrical remains responsible for the work, and we do domestic and commercial electrical work across Witham.
- Estate semis off Cressing Road run out of spare ways when a cooker, shower or extra sockets go in.
- Flats above the Newland Street shops need an electrical safety report before a new tenancy starts.
- Houses towards Chipping Hill were wired in stages, so one circuit trips while the rest is sound.
Electrical work on Witham streets and housing
- Witham housing runs from Chipping Hill cottages to the Cressing Road estates and the newer houses at Maltings Lane.
- The original board is often still in place, so we count spare ways before we price a new circuit.
- The meter cupboard is shared, so that door has to be open before we can isolate anything.
- Adjoining rooms have cable of different ages, so tracing a fault comes before any new work.

What happens on the day
You deal with us from the first visit to the certificate. We work through Witham in this order.
- 01
Arrival and look round
We arrive at the address on Cressing Road, Maltings Lane, Newland Street, Chipping Hill or whichever Witham street you booked. We walk the rooms, the loft hatch and the meter position. On Newland Street flats we start at the shared cupboard. On estate semis we start at the original board. We tell you what we can do that visit and what has to wait for parts.
- 02
The work itself
We isolate the circuit, carry out the repair, replacement or test, and restore power room by room. Fuse board changes on Powers Hall End and Rickstones Road take the longest because every circuit is moved onto the new unit. Socket, switch, downlight, extractor and shower jobs are shorter. EV charger and Starlink work, from £350 domestic and £550 commercial, needs a clear run to the outdoor point.
- 03
Certificate before we leave
You get the paperwork for that job before we go. An EICR, a minor works certificate from £95, an emergency lighting test from £150 or the installation certificate for a charger, board or rewire is handed over on site. PAT testing from £95, which is the portable appliance test on kettles, drills and similar kit, is listed item by item.

Witham electrician questions
These are the questions Witham customers ask before they book.
How much does an EICR cost in Witham?+
An EICR starts at £150. That covers the inspection and the written report for a typical house or a flat above Newland Street. Extra circuits or a large commercial unit take longer and the price follows the time on site.
How much does a fuse board cost in Witham?+
Consumer unit replacement starts at £450. Estate semis off Cressing Road and post-war bungalows on Powers Hall End are the usual candidates because the original or rewirable board is still in place. Newer houses around Maltings Lane often keep the existing unit if it already has spare ways.
How much does a rewire cost in Witham?+
House rewiring starts at £2,400. Older houses towards Chipping Hill reach that job when wiring has been added in stages and adjoining rooms differ in age. A smaller circuit repair is priced as fault finding from £75 an hour instead.
Can you fit an EV charger in Witham?+
A 7.4kW EV charger starts at £750. Around Maltings Lane the board is usually modern, so the check is capacity and the cable run to the drive. On Cressing Road the original board may need replacement from £450 before the charger can go in.
What does an emergency electrician cost in Witham?+
Out of hours emergency work starts at £90 an hour. Daytime fault finding starts at £75 an hour. We answer calls at any time and attend booked work in opening hours.
Do you do lighting and sockets in Witham?+
A downlight is from £65 per fitting. Commercial lighting is the same starting price per fitting. A socket is from £85. A light switch or dimmer is from £60. Extractor fans start at £180.
What maintenance plans do you offer in Witham?+
Bronze is 5 percent off labour, 5 percent off certificates and a free safety certificate once a year. Silver is 10 percent off labour, 10 percent off certificates, a free safety certificate once a year and next day priority. Gold is 15 percent off labour, 15 percent off certificates, free safety certificates three times a year, same day priority booking and two emergency call outs a year.
