ELECTRICIAN SERVICES

electrician maidenheadAs an electrician I provide electrical repairs in the areas of Slough, Windsor, Maidenhead and any other places within a 10 miles radius.
I specialize in electrician jobs from half an hour up to half a day or so, in short, any of those small nagging jobs where big companies are not interesting in helping, for example any jobs from replacing a light bulb to changing a ceiling light, a fuse repair, plug socket replacement, pull cord switch replacement e.t.c.! Any time you need a local electrician around Slough, Windsor or Maidenhead, just call me, I am happy to help. I also provide electrical maintenance and work as  a 24/7 electrician  on some days/nights.
I am the most called out electrician for estate agents and same day electrician for home electrics fault finding services.

+447526856614

I do home electrics for offices, landlords and estate agents and as a handyman/electrician I often put my hands on other jobs too. I am a qualified electrician - City & Guilds 2382 17th. Edition wiring regulation
and can work in these areas:

CEILING LIGHT REPLACEMENT

Most light replacements are straightforward and don't require much preparation, but some are in a difficult area to reach, for example above a stairwell, where your ordinary ladder can't be used, hence it is important to let the electrician know where the light is located.

ceiling light replacementI can replace the following lights for you:

  • pendant light
  • spot light
  • wall light
  • recess light
  • led light
  • tube light
  • special effect light
  • cabinet light
  • chandelier
If you want me to replace a chandelier, then please let me know if you have one with lots of crystals or if your chandelier is heavy as these require some preparation beforehand.

I also provide old fashion light replacement.

I also provide broken bulb removal from lights if your bulb is broken, light connection replacement, LED light replacement, smart lights replacement, tube light replacement, light transformer replacement, LED driver installation, kitchen lights under cabinet  and any other light replacement. If you are unsure, just give me call

+447526856614

Usually, for light replacements I will need the location of light, for example if you can snap a picture of the light's location in relation to the floor, what light you want replaced and a picture of the new light or a link to it so I can check specs. (weight for example)


Cabinet light installation

When you need a light in your wardrobe, cupboard or cabinet, but you don't want electricity in your wardrobe or in your children's cabinet where children have access to, then I can provide a safe solution to install battery powered or rechargeable lights. I can supply and install cabinet lights for wardrobes, cupboards, any storage areas, or even in garden sheds or summer houses where there is no access to electricity.


LIGHT SWITCH REPLACEMENT

switches
One of the most common electrical jobs I do is to replace light switches. There are many variations of  switches, as you can see on this picture. I provide replacements for all available light switches either as an upgrade or as a repair with proper checking if everything is all right and I can recommend any improvements or point out any unsafe connections. The most common issue with upgraded switches is when the customer requires replacement plastic switches for metal and other fitter forgot, or simply forgot to earth the connection between the metal fascia and metal back-box. It doesn't show on functionality, but the safety is compromised. I usually request what switches are in need of replacement and take with me an earthing cable for that purpose.

I am often called to replace switches due to upgrades, but also due to worn out contacts inside or broken fascia. I provide switch replacement services for the following switches:

  • bathroom switch
  • wall switch
  • dimmer switch
  • pull cord switch
  • remote control switch
  • pull cord switch for power shower
When you inquire about a switch replacement, please provide a picture of the switch with a description of what the switch was used for because pull cord switches for lights are not suitable for heavy loads of power.

For wall switch replacements, please indicate if the light is linked to multiple switches or just one switch. Also, in case of replacing a switch with plastic fascia for the switch with metal fascia, please let me know.


PULL CORD SWITCH REPLACEMENT

pull cord switchChanging pull cord switches are one of my most commonly asked for jobs and often the only switch permitted in the bathroom, hence it is important that the switch functions properly at all times.

There are three most common parts that break:

  • First is the pull chord - often, the inside of the pull cord switch can break
  • Second is the back place can break and disengage from ceiling.
  • Third is the inner mechanism can wear out.
 I am happy to change your pull cord switch at any time, just give me a call.
+447526856614
I often carry spare pull cord switches with me in my spare parts box, please inquire before booking to confirm it is still available.

ELECTRICIAN - DIMMER SWITCH REPLACEMENT

If your light flickers when you turn the dimmer, it's time for a new dimmer. I provide:

  • dimmer replacement for halogen lights
  • dimmer replacement for LED lights
  • change dimmer switch to regular switch
  • changing light switch to a dimmer - in that case I need to know what bulbs you have (halogen or LED) and the total wattage. If unsure, please call me
+447526856614

Please let me know if you are buying dimmers or switches yourself, so I can drive straight to yours, or if you need me to buy some for you, then I will need notice in advance to source the correct dimmers.

In case you want replace a regular switch for dimmer, please check what bulbs you have before buying dimmers.

There are installers around, but not all them have enough knowledge about dimmers, hence I am called so often to rectify flickering or broken dimmers, so here I summarized the most important facts you need to know to get a proper dimmable light.

  • Although all halogen bulbs are dimmable,
  • Halogen 12V bulbs with transformers have to have a dimmable transformer.
  • Not all LED bulbs are be dimmable.
  • Low voltage (12V) LED bulbs require LED driver.
  • Dimmable LED lights have two basic categories- with leading edge and with trailing edge - each require the appropriate dimmer.
If it is too complicated or you feel overwhelmed with all this info, then it is better to call me and I will be happy to work it out for you, all that you have to do is to call me or email me  and schedule a meeting with me.

POWER SOCKET REPLACEMENT

I provide electrical socket replacement services. Most power socket replacements are required in Windsor, perhaps due to the amount of old houses in need of updates, and I am also called for socket repair in Slough and Maidenhead. I replace electrical sockets either where required due to update, but also due to damage or a switch breaking.

In recent years, many people require electrical outlets wit USB sockets to charge their mobile phones and also power sockets with a wifi repeater. I suggest to measure the depth of your power socket body as they are usually deeper and don't always fit in back-box in the wall.

Please bear in mind that during power plug replacements, there will be no power, so it is best to schedule these services during daytime.


Power cable repair

Some people prefer to do jobs around the house themselves, particularly hanging pictures or shelves on walls... and it's great, but people often forget to check for cables in the wall, so when the customer drills into a wall and hits a power cable, it usually makes a spark, sometimes with a loud effect and a blown fuse. I get calls where the words 'sparking' and 'blown fuses' dominate a lot. It is a stressful situation when it happens. Do not panic, just give me call, I will help you out.

cable drilled by homeowner

I have done repairs after people accidentally drilled to a cable in the wall. You can see on the image here how the cable in the wall looks like when a customer accidentally drilled through cable and called me for repair. I cut out a hole - the size of electrical back box, installed it, joint the cable and put a blank plate over. It could have been plastered over, but it is better if it is accessible, just in case you need access in future .

Honest real testimonials from Google


Brilliant service. Always on hand to provide advice no matter how big or small. Has come out to us late at night twice as well. Recommended and will be using when we have work done in a few weeks

I have known George a number of years over which he has carried out numerous jobs at our house. He always goes above and beyond and carries out the work to the highest standard. He is trustworthy, ever so kind and a pleasure to be around. I highly recommend him

I had a fantastic experience with George! While I was away, there was a broken curtain rail at my Airbnb, and I was feeling quite panicky because I had guests staying there. I didn't want them to have an evening without bedroom curtains. However, George quickly responded to the situation and did a brilliant job fixing the curtain rail. He saved the day for me and my guests, and I couldn't be more grateful for his prompt and professional service. I highly recommend George for anyone needing reliable help with their Airbnb or any other handyman tasks!

If you need anything done the correct way George is the man! Very professional, amazing friendly service with great advice! Will recommend him & be using him again in the near future, a man of many talents, thank you again George 👍

Fixed back a wooden fascia on shed. Very professional, knowledgeable and polite. Economic service, recommended and will use again.

George has been a life saver for us many times since we moved into our first house in 2020. As first time owners, there were many things we didn’t know how to do, such as installing appliances, installing blocblinds on vlux windows, installing ceiling speakers, mounting large tvs, drilling and mounting on brick, securing stair gates, electrical issues, etc etc. the list goes on. Handyman George has come out to help us move in and get settled in our home and continues to help us to this day as we make updates and changes. He’s really thoughtful and thorough, and always finds clever solutions to tricky problems. I can always trust the job is done right and reliable when George does it, which is super important as many of things in my house must stand the test of young children: both sturdy and safe. Many thanks for all your help in the past couple of years.

George helped my wife and I with hanging a sign, mirror and reading lights today and he was excellent. Not only did he complete the work to a high standard, he also talked us through the process as he did it and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and will definitely be asking him for more help in the future

I can't praise George highly enough. I'd give him more stars if I could! The standard of his work is extremely high. He is completely reliable, and if he says that he'll come on a day, he turns up on time. Everything is carefully explained. He is very creative and inventive, and can find solutions to problems that had seemed almost unsolvable. I am really delighted with everything he has done for us since our move into the area.

George was very professional, punctual and very helpful. even when i asked a question regarding something else he was willing to take time to answer and provide help. Thanks George.

Great service. Leaky loo and tap repaired in no time at all, and was able to come out quickly. 100% recommend.

George is very professional, hard working and trustworthy and extremely pleased with the work he has done. George is very helpful and gives good advice. I would definitely recommend him and have done so to family and friends. I will using his services again shortly.

I am extremely happy with the service provided by George. He was very efficient and was completed an urgent job for a reasonable price . To be honest he saved me a few pounds by saving an old door by repairing it instead of going through a long hassle getting a new one fitted . I would say he is a person who would go the extra mile to help people. I will have no problem hiring George again when needed . God bless him !
