Your local electrician in Redland
Kebbi Electrical Services is a NAPIT registered electrician based in Hanham, and we work in Redland and across the BS6 area for homeowners, landlords and businesses. Whether you need an Electrical Installation Condition Report, a new fuse board, a full or partial rewire, an EV charger, solar panels or someone to find a fault today, you deal with the same local team from the first call to the certificate.
Knowing Redland helps us plan the work properly. Redland's buildings are mostly Georgian in style, with some Victorian buildings mixed in. After the Redland estate was sold in 1865, the land was developed for housing. Redland Court was built in 1732–35 by John Strahan for John Cossins. Many homes here are older terraces and conversions. Older wiring and fuse boards often need checking or upgrading before new circuits, showers or EV chargers can be added, and we tell you up front if that applies.
An EICR in Redland costs £195 for flats up to 2 bedrooms and £220 for houses up to 4 bedrooms. Larger homes are quoted. Everything else gets a clear price before anything is booked. Your report or certificate is emailed as soon as the work is done, often the same day, and notifiable work such as a new consumer unit or new circuits is registered with Bristol City Council building control through our NAPIT registration.
We are winners at the Quality Business Awards in 2025 and 2026, and our customers leave their reviews on our two Google Business Profiles. As well as Redland, we regularly work in Cotham, St Pauls, Kingsdown, Horfield, Bishopston, Clifton, Hotwells and Westbury-on-Trym.

EICR in Redland
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a full inspection and test of your wiring, fuse board, sockets and earthing. You get a written report with any faults coded C1, C2, C3 or FI.
Older terraces and conversions often still have original circuits or an old fuse board, which is exactly what an EICR picks up.
Landlord EICR in Redland
Private landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every 5 years, and give a copy of the report to tenants. We arrange access with tenants and send the report quickly.
There are a lot of rented terraces, flats and shared houses here, so landlord EICRs are one of our most common jobs.
Homebuyer EICR in Redland
A homebuyer EICR tells you the real condition of the electrics before you commit, so you can budget for any work or negotiate on price.
With older terraces it is common to find an old fuse board or original wiring, which is worth knowing before you buy.
Commercial EICR in Redland
A commercial EICR inspects and tests the fixed wiring in shops, offices, workshops and other premises, so you can show the installation is safe for staff and customers.
We test shops, cafés, offices and flats above shops along the local high streets.
Fuse Board Upgrades in Redland
A new fuse board (consumer unit) with RCD protection makes your home safer and is often needed before adding circuits, a shower or an EV charger. Every upgrade is tested, certified and registered with building control.
Many older homes here still have old fuse boards, which is one of the most common reasons we are called out.
More about fuse board upgrades →
House Rewiring in Redland
A full or partial rewire replaces old cables, sockets and switches and brings the installation up to current standards. We plan the work room by room and make good as we go.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are the homes we rewire most often, usually when they are being renovated.
Emergency Electrician in Redland
For urgent electrical faults such as power loss, tripping that will not reset, burning smells or water near electrics, call 07943 951993 and we will tell you when we can get to you.

EV Charger Installation in Redland
We fit home EV chargers on driveways and garages. We survey first, check your fuse board, earthing and supply, then fit, test, certify and notify the network operator.
Many streets here are terraced with on-street parking. A home charger needs a driveway or space you control, so we check that first.
More about EV charger installation →
Solar Panels in Redland
We install and maintain solar panel systems for homes and businesses, and can advise on adding battery storage.

Local facts from: en.wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org
The age and type of a building decide most of what we find when we open up the electrics. Here is what that means in Redland.
Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian homes
In Redland: Redland's buildings are mostly Georgian in style, with some Victorian buildings mixed in.
Older homes can still have parts of very old wiring, few sockets in the main rooms, and kitchens or bathrooms that were added long after the house was built. We check whether the circuits for showers, cookers and kitchens are big enough for today’s appliances, and whether RCD protection is in place.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
In Redland: At least twenty individual houses in Redland are listed at Grade II or II*.
In listed buildings we plan cable routes and fittings to avoid damaging historic features, and some changes need listed building consent first. In conservation areas, external equipment such as solar panels or outside lights can have extra planning conditions.
We will tell you honestly what needs doing now and what can wait, and you get a clear price before anything is booked.

What customers say
I wouldn't use any other Electrician in the area now that I've used Azzeddine. He was punctual, polite, fairly priced and responded quickly to messages. I've already recommend him to friends and family!
Used Kebbi Electrical to change a consumer unit and install new lights, sockets, switches and extractor fans. All went to plan and communication was good.
Azzeddine inspected the electrical instalalations in our house and issued an electrical certificate as we are going to let the property. He found a few issues which he fixed first. The quality of his work is high. I would definitely recommend the services of Kebbi Electrical Services.
Lighting fused and short circuited just before going on holiday and leaving a house sitter. Left messages for three companies, but Kebbi Electrical was the only one to reply. He came the same day and solved the problem efficiently. Would thoroughly recommend and will use again.
Excellent service from Kebbie Electrical Services. Turn up on time, completed the work in a timely manner to specifications required. Would definitely use these guys again . Thanks
Azzeddine replaced a consumer unit, beefed up the supply cabling and earth, for us and certificated our electrics to bring everything up to date. He was on time and left thing's clean and tidy, and finished off on the following day. Azzeddine is a polite and helpful workman who we would use again.
