Getting an electrician to Basildon
Any hour, any day
A person answers, not a machine taking a message for the morning. We are out to Basildon regularly, and you will get a straight answer on the phone about when we can reach you.
No call-out fee
No separate charge on top of the hourly rate just for turning up, and nothing to pay before we arrive. Work is charged by the hour, with a rough estimate before we start.
Burning smell right now?
Turn that circuit off at the board, leave it off, and ring. Do not keep resetting a breaker that will not stay in — it is doing its job.
07502 396654What we get called to in Basildon
Housing built to a single plan reaches the end of its electrical life all at once. That makes the work unusually predictable, and it means the fault your neighbour had last month is very often the one coming to you.
Consumer unit upgrades
Original boards on this housing are long past replacement, and a good many went in before RCD protection was required at all. Changing the board is the single alteration that most affects what happens when a fault does develop.

Rewires
Cable installed when these estates were built is now sixty or seventy years old. Where it was run in conduit designed into the structure the route survives and can be reused; where it was simply clipped and covered over, it rarely has.

Additional sockets and circuits
Housing planned around a single-bar fire and a radiogram was not given many socket outlets. Adding properly wired points is a better answer than the extension leads that have filled the gap in the meantime.

Landlord certificates
A large share of this stock is rented, privately or through the council, which brings the five-yearly inspection and the report that has to go with it.

Everything else we do here
All our services- 24/7 emergency electricianLost power, a burning smell, a breaker that will not stay in or exposed live wiring — we take the call day or night and make it safe.
- Fault finding & repairsA breaker that keeps tripping, half the house dead, lights flickering. We trace the actual cause rather than guessing at it.
- Fuse board & consumer unit upgradesReplace an old rewireable or plastic board with a modern RCBO unit that cuts the power the instant something goes wrong.
- Full & partial rewiresRubber or fabric-sheathed cable, too few sockets, no earth on the lighting circuit — a rewire brings the whole installation up to standard.
- EICR — electrical installation condition reportA full condition report on the installation, with every fault coded C1, C2, C3 or FI so you know exactly what needs doing.
- Landlord electrical safety certificatesRented homes in England need a satisfactory EICR every five years. We test, report, and carry out any remedial work.

The housing in Basildon
Basildon was designated a new town in 1949 and built out through the fifties and sixties to a single plan. Planned housing means whole neighbourhoods of one age and one original specification, which makes the wiring unusually predictable, and means it reaches the end of its life across a street at roughly the same time.
None of that is a reason to ring us. It is the reason we already know what we are likely to find when we get there.
What people say
Had a breaker that kept tripping the sockets in the whole house over the weekend, called Sunday morning and was here within the hour! … Instead of staying and doing the work under emergency rate the electrician kindly fixed me a temporary solution for the night and said he will come the next day where it will be cheaper to fix the problem. Not a lot of trade people will do that! … Only fixed what needed to be fixed and didn’t try to sell me anything extra, honest and straight forward and punctual.
Kuresh A. — Tripping breaker, Sunday callout Mizan is very professional. He arrived at the time he said and called me 30 minutes before arrival. He done the works very well and cleaned up after himself. Very satisfied and I will use him again.
