Knowing Clifton helps us plan the work properly. Clifton's grand houses were built to be run with many servants; most homes are terraces, often of three or more floors. Berkeley Square and Berkeley Crescent date from around 1790, and Royal York Crescent is a famous terrace. Clifton appears in the Domesday Book as Clistone and was formally brought into the city in the 1830s. With older and listed buildings we plan cable routes carefully and talk you through options before any work starts.
An EICR in Clifton 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 Clifton
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.
In older and listed properties an EICR is a good first step before any changes, so you know what condition the wiring is in.
Landlord EICR in Clifton
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.
For rented flats in older buildings we check the communal supply arrangement as well as the flat itself.
Homebuyer EICR in Clifton
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.
Period and listed properties can hide old wiring behind fine finishes, so a test before you buy is worth it.
Commercial EICR in Clifton
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.
Fuse Board Upgrades in Clifton
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.
In older buildings we check the earthing arrangement carefully before fitting a new board.

House Rewiring in Clifton
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.
With period and listed homes we plan cable routes to avoid damage to original features.
Emergency Electrician in Clifton
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 Clifton
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.
In listed buildings or conservation areas, permission may be needed for a charger on the front of a property, so check before booking.
More about EV charger installation →
Solar Panels in Clifton
We install and maintain solar panel systems for homes and businesses, and can advise on adding battery storage.
Listed buildings and conservation areas can have planning restrictions on solar panels, so check with the council first.

Local facts from: 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 Clifton.
Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian homes
In Clifton: Clifton's grand houses were built to be run with many servants; most homes are terraces, often of three or more floors.
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.
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
Azzeddine came to move plug sockets and a light switch. Arrived on time and got the job done to a good standard.
Someone turned up to help fit my new cooker within about half an hour of me calling! Ali was very friendly and the price reasonable. Highly recommended
Very happy with the service provided, which involved remedial work on a rewiring job carried out by another, clearly much less competent, electrician. Highly recommend.
Brilliant service. Azzeddine came out the same day and didn’t leave until the job was done when we were in a bit of trouble with our electrics. Thank you!
I highly recommend Kebbi Electrical Services; communication was excellent, the work completed is to a very high standard, and Ali the electrician was friendly and professional.
The installation work for a new hob, oven and microwave was carried out with not too much disruption and to my satisfaction. Some corrective action was also carried out on some older wiring that was found.

When should I book a homebuyer EICR in Clifton?
Before you exchange contracts, so you know the cost of any work while you can still negotiate.
How often does a business in Clifton need an EICR?
Most offices and shops every 5 years, but your insurer or the last report may set a shorter interval.
How long does a fuse board change take in Clifton?
Most are done in a day, with the power off for most of that time.

Yes. A partial rewire is sometimes enough. We tell you honestly after the survey.
What should I do if my power goes off in Clifton?
If your neighbours are off too, it is a power cut, so call 105. If it is only your home, switch off at the consumer unit if it is safe, keep away from anything damaged or wet, and call us on 07943 951993.
