Getting an electrician to Sidcup
Any hour, any day
A person answers, not a machine taking a message for the morning. For an emergency anywhere in London we are usually with you inside the hour.
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 Sidcup
Housing of this age was wired for a household with a wireless, an iron and not much else. Most of what we get called to is the gap between that and a modern kitchen.
Fuse board upgrades
Boards on these houses are often still rewireable-fuse, or an early plastic consumer unit with no RCD protection worth the name. A modern board means one fault takes out one circuit rather than the whole house at two in the morning.
Full and partial rewires
Where original cable survives it is well past its design life, and rubber-sheathed cable goes brittle at the terminations first. A partial rewire is often enough where only half the house was ever done.
Extra sockets
These houses were built with one or two sockets a room. Everything since has arrived by extension lead, which is how a bedroom ends up with four things running off one socket behind a chest of drawers.
Kitchen and appliance circuits
A cooker, a dishwasher and a washing machine on wiring sized decades before any of them existed is the most common single reason a board will not stay in.
Not sure which of those it is? Describe what it is doing and we will tell you what it sounds like.

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 Sidcup
Sidcup is overwhelmingly interwar suburban, bay-fronted semis built through the twenties and thirties along the railway. Housing of that age and that consistency has a predictable electrical history, and an equally predictable set of things that have since gone wrong with it.
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.
