Electrician needed for job on 2nd Jan

Recommended Posts

I?m looking for an electrician who is available on the morning of 2nd January. I?ve drawn a blank so if anyone is free I?d love to hear from you.


The job involves wiring in an automatic fire curtain to the mains power (the engineers from the fire curtain company will be at the house around 10am to do the installation but don?t provide their own electrician); connecting a wireless unit to the existing smoke alarm; and moving a light switch.

I would call c&g if I were you. Clive?s number easily found on this forum. Family run business, plenty of good sparkies on the roster. Clive recently came round the day I called him, he fitted 3 downligters in my bathroom and then his son Grant popped over the next day to chase a plug socket into the way. Lovely gentlemen, can?t ask for more. Prices reasonable too but most importantly it?s hood quality work and a truthful no nonsense approach. None of this cowboy trade malarkey.

I had Grant and Clive over to install a nest doorbell, and fix a variety of issues. The nest works perfectly and they were very helpful, fixing a variety of issues from broken sockets, flashing lights, faulty connections, to smoke detectors. I had one missed appointment probably due to busy schedule, but I was flexible so didn?t affect me. I would recommend them. PM if you would like a nest as the bits to buy are a bit confusing, and I ordered the wilting doorbell.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
