Lost power, a breaker that keeps tripping, or a burning smell from a socket? We are based at 18 Tulse Hill, right here in Brixton, so call 020 4600 5848 and a local electrician is usually with you inside the hour. Because the office sits between Brixton Hill and central Brixton, an engineer can be on a doorstep in SW2 or SW9 fast, day or night. The first job on arrival is always to make the property safe, the price is fixed with you before any work starts, and the vans carry the parts to put most faults right there and then.

020 4600 5848Brixton Electrical Faults We Get Called Out To
Brixton runs on a mix of Victorian terraces off Coldharbour Lane, converted flats around Loughborough Junction and busier commercial units near the market, and each throws up its own electrical trouble. These are the call-outs we handle most around SW2 and SW9:
- A dead circuit or a part of the property with no power
- A burning or fishy smell from a socket, switch or the fuse box
- A breaker or RCD that trips the second you push it back up
- An older consumer unit that is warm, scorched or humming
- Sockets that spark or crackle, or have stopped working altogether
- Failed lighting in a stairwell, kitchen, shop or basement flat
- Electrics soaked by a leak or a washing-machine flood upstairs
Recognise any of it? Call 020 4600 5848 and we will get it isolated and safe, usually within the hour. For the wider fix list, see our emergency electrician and electrical repairs work.
We Make It Safe Before We Do Anything Else
A live fault can shock someone or start a fire behind a wall where you cannot see it, so the moment we arrive we isolate the circuit and take the danger out of the situation. Then we test to find what actually went wrong rather than just killing the symptom, and we tell you in plain English what the repair involves and what it costs before touching anything. The work is done to the current wiring regulations, BS 7671, retested to prove it is sound, and left properly rather than taped over. You finish with electrics that are safe, working and certified, not a fault that comes back next week.

How to Choose an Emergency Electrician in Brixton
Three quick checks before you let anyone near your fuse box.
Are they registered?
Look for NAPIT (or NICEIC) registration and Part P. It means the work is independently assessed and can be certified and notified to building control. Our Brixton engineers are NAPIT registered and Part P qualified.
Are they genuinely 24/7?
A real emergency electrician picks up at 3am, not just between nine and five. Ask about response times and any out-of-hours rate before you book, so nothing stings you later.
Is the price agreed up front?
A straight electrician tells you the cost before starting and never quietly adds to it. We fix the figure with you first, on every Brixton job.
What Our Customers Say
We are a 5-star rated team on Google, and the comments tend to repeat the same points: we answer the phone at odd hours, we turn up when we said we would, and we leave the place as clean as we found it. Being based on Tulse Hill means the people calling are often neighbours, so word travels. If you want to check us first, the company and its director are on the public Companies House register.
I called for a quote, and within hours, they had someone out to assess the job. They’re also affordable!

The Rules on Electrical Work in Brixton
A lot of Brixton homes are older terraces and converted flats, and some electrical work in them has to meet set rules. Using a registered electrician keeps you on the right side of them.
- Part P building regulations. New circuits, a fuse box (consumer unit) replacement, and any work in kitchens or bathrooms are notifiable. As registered electricians we self-certify and notify Lambeth building control for you, so there is no separate council inspection to chase.
- Landlord EICR. If you let a flat or house in Brixton, an Electrical Installation Condition Report is a legal requirement in England, at least every five years, and tenants must get a copy. Plenty of SW2 and SW9 conversions are overdue one.
- BS 7671 (18th Edition). All our work meets the current UK wiring regulations, and every notifiable job leaves you with the right certificate for your records.
- What you end up with. New circuits, fuse box swaps, rewires and landlord checks all finish with the correct certification, not a verbal "all done".
Our Certifications & Insurance
Our Brixton electricians are Part P registered and City & Guilds qualified, NAPIT registered and trained to the 18th Edition (BS 7671). Every job carries £5 million of public liability cover.
Trusted by local homeowners and businesses.
