Our accreditations & certifications
Electricians for every kind of home. From Becontree to Barking Riverside.
Dagenham's Becontree estate was built in the 1920s and 30s, and many of its houses have had their wiring patched and added to over the decades. Ilford, Seven Kings and Goodmayes are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats, while Barking runs from older terraces to the new homes at Barking Riverside. We work on all of them, and we know what each one usually needs.
Whether you own your home, rent it out or look after a block of flats, you get the same thing from us: a free quote, clear advice, NICEIC approved work and the right certificate at the end. Here's what you can expect.

Common questions from Barking, Dagenham & Ilford
Do you cover all of Barking, Dagenham and Ilford?
Yes. We work across Barking, Dagenham, Becontree, Ilford, Seven Kings, Goodmayes, Gants Hill and Chadwell Heath, and in nearby Stratford, Newham and Romford. If you're not sure we cover your street, give us a call.
My ex-council house still has its old fuse box. Does it need replacing?
Not always. But older fuse boxes often don't have RCD protection, which protects you from electric shock, and the wiring in older homes has often been added to over the years. We'll test your installation and tell you honestly whether an upgrade is needed.
I'm a landlord. How often do I need an EICR?
In England, private landlords need an EICR at least every five years, and must give a copy to existing tenants and to new tenants before they move in. You may also be asked for one when applying for a council property licence. We carry out the inspection, explain the results and can fix anything that needs it.
Can you fit an EV charger at my house?
If you have a driveway or other off-street parking, usually yes. We check your supply and fuse board first, install the charger safely and handle the notification to the network operator for you.
How quickly can you come out?
We aim to attend fault finding visits the same day or next day in most cases. For bigger jobs, we'll book the free quote visit at a time that suits you. For anything urgent, such as a burning smell or sparking, call us directly.
