Your local electrician in Kingsdown
Kebbi Electrical Services is a NAPIT registered electrician based in Hanham, and we work in Kingsdown and across the BS2 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 Kingsdown helps us plan the work properly. Building continued through the rest of the 18th century, so Kingsdown's streets have a mainly Georgian character. The area stayed rural until the 1700s; from around 1737 its southern slope was laid out as Bristol's first planned suburb. Kingsdown occupies high ground directly north of Bristol city centre, with Cotham to its north. 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 Kingsdown 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 Kingsdown, we regularly work in St Pauls, Redland, Cotham, Easton, St George, Horfield, Bishopston and Clifton. Call or WhatsApp 07943 951993, or send an enquiry with your address and what you need, and we will confirm the price and a date.

EICR in Kingsdown
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 Kingsdown
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 Kingsdown
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 Kingsdown
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 Kingsdown
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 Kingsdown
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 Kingsdown
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.
More about our emergency electricians →
EV Charger Installation in Kingsdown
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 Kingsdown
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 Kingsdown.
Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian homes
In Kingsdown: The area stayed rural until the 1700s; from around 1737 its southern slope was laid out as Bristol's first planned suburb.
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 Kingsdown: Much of Kingsdown has been a designated conservation area since 1973.
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
Kebbi Electrical Services were fantastic and we have used them twice since moving house. Azzeddine not only helped us with a new fuse board and several light fittings but also completed an EICR. He completed everything in a professional and timely manner and was very helpful. He also fitted some new bathroom lights really quickly as our previous ones weren’t safe and we hadn’t realised. We have some other electrical work that we would like to do soon and will definitely contact him for further work. I’ve already recommended him to a couple of friends.
As a property management company, we struggled to find the right electricians to look after our student accommodations in bristol until we met Azzeddine and his team at Kebbi Electrical Services. They have looked after all our needs, from EICRs to emergency call-outs and general electrical maintenance. They have never let us down and are always there for us with transparent pricing, honesty, and complete reliability. Highly recommended!
Kebbi was amazing. We took some pictures before hand of what we wanted, he gave an accurate time scale and quote and came over and smashed it. The job ended bigger than he anticipated but he worked it out and We were really happy
Cannot recommend Kebbi Electrical Services enough - I booked in a very last minute EICR report, electrical lighting installation plus repairs from a previous electricians poor installation. Azzeddine was very quick to respond and very flexible with availability. He also took photos of the work and kept me posted throughout. Quick, flexible & professional service with very reasonable pricing plus a really efficient payment system - win all round. No wonder they have so many 5 star reviews! We will definitely be using Kebbi Electrical Services for all electrical work moving forward. Azzeddine - thank you so much honestly!
Had Kebbi Electrical come out to do some work in my home—mainly rewiring a chandelier and installing new lighting. Azzeddine was friendly, professional, and clearly knew what he was doing. The communication before and during the job was really straightforward, which I appreciated.The work was clean and solid. He arrived punctually, provided a clear and upfront quote, and completed the work to a high standardOverall, very happy with the service—reliable, fairly priced, and no hassle. Would definitely use it again.
Contacted Azzeddine Kebbi for an ECIR report. He was able to fit us in and it was completed within a week. We discussed what issues there were in the flat and how to resolve them. He then provided a reasonable quote to fix the work. We had Azzeddine back to complete the tasks and then recived an updated report. His work was good, he was polite, professional and punctual. We'd happily recommend to friends and acquaintances.
