Kebbi Electrical Services is a NAPIT registered electrician based in Hanham, and we work in Bishopston and across the BS7 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 Bishopston helps us plan the work properly. The David Thomas Memorial church site in neighbouring St Andrews, demolished in 1987, was later redeveloped as flats. Bishopston takes its name from the local diocese's bishop; the parish was created in July 1862. Gloucester Road, Bishopston's main artery, is a traditional high street. 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 Bishopston 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.

EICR in Bishopston
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 Bishopston
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 Bishopston
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 Bishopston
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 Bishopston
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.

House Rewiring in Bishopston
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 Bishopston
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 Bishopston
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.

Solar Panels in Bishopston
We install and maintain solar panel systems for homes and businesses, and can advise on adding battery storage.

What customers say
Quick response to my emergency. He diagnosed and sorted the problem very quickly. Within an hour everything was working again. Excellent service.
Replaced and rewired all the electrics in our garage, and put up some lights and socket in the garden. He was very professional, friendly and would definitely use him again!
Azzeddine was very reliable, communicative and I’m happy with the work he did at my flat. Would definitely recommend
Kebbi Electrical have done several EICRs on 2 flats we have. I have found their work excellent, and were able to do various jobs that needed doing at a very reasonable cost.
Needed some heating control panels repositioned in my kitchen. Azzeddine arrived when he said he would and even though there was limited space to complete the work he did so very quickly, and made sure everything worked as it should.
We have had a replacement of extractor fan in our flat. It was a smooth process to deal with this company with good service and easy communications.
