Electrical repairs Reading

Book electrical repairs in Reading with qualified electricians who can fix power loss in part of the house, faulty light switches and more. We'll give you a fixed price first, then aim to visit the same or next day wherever possible. Our electricians work in homes all over Reading.

Reading electrical repair

Is a socket dead, or has a light stopped working? Our electricians in Reading can find the cause and fix it, along with fuse box faults and broken switches.

An electric shower or cooker that stops working may have a fault on its own circuit. Your electrician will check the isolator switch, the cable and the connection at the consumer unit.

Pick a date when you book, and add a note about what you've noticed. That helps your electrician come prepared.

Your electrician brings the tools needed to test and repair the circuit. They'll tell you what caused the fault, so you know what to look out for.

Electrical faults rarely fix themselves. A switch that sparks or a socket that feels warm usually gets worse over time, so it's worth booking a repair as soon as you notice the problem.

Short circuits are a common cause of faults. They can happen when pests chew through wires, water reaches a cable or a connection works loose.

Our electricians work with all the common types of wiring and fittings found in UK homes. Whether your home is a new build or decades old, they'll know how to find and fix the fault.

Electrical services in Reading: EICRs

An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, shows whether the electrics in a property are safe. Our electricians in Reading test the wiring, sockets, switches and fuse box against the wiring regulations.

Homeowners are advised to book one every 10 years, and landlords need one every 5 years. Many buyers also ask for an EICR before they move in.

You'll get a written report at the end. If it lists anything that needs fixing, we can carry out the repairs for you.

Booking an EICR works in the same way as booking a repair, and you can choose the date online.

An EICR also gives you a useful record of the condition of your electrics. It can help when you sell your home or plan other work.

Reading Electrical Repairs FAQs

Questions about electrical repairs in Reading? Read the answers below, or see our electrical repair FAQ page.

What causes flickering lights?

Often it's the bulb. It might be loose, or it might not work with the dimmer switch you have. If a new bulb doesn't help, the problem could be the switch, the fitting or a loose connection in the wiring, which an electrician should check.

Should I worry about a burning smell from a socket?

Yes. Never ignore a burning smell from a socket, plug or switch. It can mean the fitting or the cable behind it is overheating. Turn the socket off at the wall if you can, stop using it and book an urgent visit so our electricians can make it safe.

Do you cover areas around Reading?

Yes. As well as Reading, our electricians visit homes in Wokingham, Bracknell and Maidenhead and the areas around them. We have electricians right across the UK, so wherever you live, you can book online and check the dates available for your postcode.

Can an electrician come out the same day in Reading?

Often, yes. We aim to visit the same or next day wherever possible. It depends on how busy our electricians near you are. The available dates appear when you book online, so you can take the first slot or choose another day that fits your plans.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. We don't charge hidden call-out or labour fees. The fixed price you're quoted is for the repair you agree, and that's what you pay. You can see the price online before you book, with no obligation, so there's nothing to commit to until you're ready.
