Your local electrician in Horfield
Kebbi Electrical Services is a NAPIT registered electrician based in Hanham, and we work in Horfield and across the BS7 area for homeowners, landlords and businesses.

Knowing Horfield helps us plan the work properly. Horfield stayed rural until the early 19th century and was mostly built up from the mid-1800s onwards. Horfield Barracks, completed in 1847, gave the city a permanent military presence. Horfield is on Bristol's northern edge, and Horfield Common is among the city's highest points. 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 Horfield 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 Horfield
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 Horfield
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 Horfield
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 Horfield
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 Horfield
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 Horfield
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 Horfield
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 Horfield
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 Horfield
We install and maintain solar panel systems for homes and businesses, and can advise on adding battery storage.

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 Horfield.
Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian homes
In Horfield: Horfield stayed rural until the early 19th century and was mostly built up from the mid-1800s onwards.
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 Horfield: The Church of the Holy Trinity with St Edmund is Grade II* listed, and the barracks chapel is Grade II listed.
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 called Azzedine after I'd had a different electrician round who I wasn't happy with. Azzedine was excellent. He did checks for an EICR certificate and Fire alarm test certificate, as well as some upgrades and repairs necessary for the EICR. So much more professional than the previous guy, and much better value too! Highly recommend. I now consider Azzedine my go-to person for anything electrical.
Installation of RCD fuse box amongst those listed. Azzeddine and Ali arrived on time and were efficient, knowledgeable and tidy, all round great quality service. Helpfully answered any and all questions. EICR and electrical certification provided in a timely manner. Would highly recommend!
Carried out an EICR for my property and remedied some minor issues off the back of this. Was very quick to respond and also was able to carry out the works fairly quickly.Would highly recommend.
Recommended to me by a friend. Messaged on one day and they came the next day as promised. Great, quick service and good value. Really helpful and we'll definitely be using them again.
Very helpful indeed, carrying out installations and repairs so that I could get an electrical safety certificate in order to rent my house out. High quality work, great communication, friendly guy, very happy with everything.

It was Soo perfect, lovely and kind to have him Soo late in the night. Problem was solved with just kebbi call 🤙🤙🤙🤙
