Electrician in Wivenhoe
Electrician in Wivenhoe for EICRs, fuse board replacements and domestic electrical work, including careful checks for converted homes and shared meter cupboards.
“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 Wivenhoe
- Lighting Electrical remains responsible for the work, and we work on houses, flats, let property and small workplaces in Wivenhoe.
- Quay terraces still run old boards and cable that has been extended over the years.
- Belle Vue Road and Rectory Road lets need testing before a tenancy starts.
- Broome Grove and Vine Farm Road have drives, so a charge point is possible there.
Electrical work around The Quay and High Street
- Wivenhoe changes from riverside terrace to later close in the space of a few streets.
- Solid walls and no loft mean cable runs are agreed with you before first fix.
- Conversions share circuits, so work in one flat can affect the next.
- Streets with no off-street space rule out a charge point whatever the board allows.

Alongside EICRs and fuse boards we fit solar from £5,500, battery storage from £4,500, forklift chargers from £700, immersion heater repairs from £70 an hour and cooker connections from £120.
What happens on the day
You deal with us from the first call to the last certificate. We answer the phone at any hour. Booked work happens in opening hours.
- 01
We arrive and walk the property with you
We park as close as the street allows on The Quay, High Street or Station Road, then we walk the rooms, the board and any loft or hallway cupboard. If the consumer unit is in a communal hallway we need that door open before we start testing or changing the board.
- 02
We do the work we priced
Fault finding and repair starts from £75 an hour. Socket work starts from £85. A consumer unit replacement starts from £450. Out of hours emergency electrician work starts from £90 an hour. We isolate the circuit, complete the job, and we do not add extras unless you ask for them while we are there.
- 03
We leave the paperwork
An EICR, a minor works certificate from £95, or the certificate that belongs with a board change, rewire, EV charger or fire alarm goes with you before we leave. NAPIT is the scheme we work under for that paperwork.
Why customers in Wivenhoe book Lighting Electrical

Electrician questions in Wivenhoe
These are the questions we hear on The Quay, High Street, Alma Street and Broome Grove.
How much does an EICR cost in Wivenhoe?+
An EICR, the electrical safety report on the fixed wiring, starts from £150. Let property in England needs that inspection at least every five years. Flats that share circuits may need access to more than one door.
Can you fit an EV charger on The Quay?+
A 7.4kW home charger starts from £750. Waterfront streets without off-street parking rule out a charge point, whatever spare capacity the supply has. If you have a driveway on Vine Farm Road, Broome Grove or Wivenhoe Cross we can quote the install.
How much is a new fuse board?+
Consumer unit replacement starts from £450. In conversions the consumer unit is often in a communal hallway, so somebody has to open it on the day. We include that access in the plan before we book the visit.
What does a house rewire start at?+
House rewiring starts from £2,400. Solid-walled terraces near The Quay have no loft to run cables through, so routes are planned before work starts. Streets with lofts such as Rectory Road are a different job and we price them as they are.
Do you do lighting and small jobs?+
Yes. Downlights are from £65 per fitting, light switches or dimmers from £60, sockets from £85, smoke and heat alarms from £110, extractor fans from £180 and electric showers from £220. Commercial lighting is also from £65 per fitting.
What if something fails at night?+
Out of hours emergency electrician work starts from £90 an hour. Fault finding and repair in hours starts from £75 an hour. We answer the phone at any time. Booked follow-up work stays in opening hours.
Can you test appliances and emergency lights?+
PAT testing starts from £95. An emergency lighting test and certificate starts from £150. Fire alarm system installation starts from £1,400. We do this for homes, shops and small commercial units in Wivenhoe.
Do you fit solar, batteries or Starlink?+
Solar panel installation starts from £5,500. Battery storage installation starts from £4,500. Domestic Starlink installation starts from £350 and commercial Starlink installation starts from £550. Forklift charger installation starts from £700.
