Customer reviews

Your electrician proposed alternative solutions to my problem and I was able to choose the cheaper and quickest repair option. He was able to solve my issue within an hour and did a clean job. I am very happy and will use your services again in the future.

Marion, Canary Wharf, E14
Extremely helpful guy who fixed the issue and helped me with another electrical repair job whilst he was there! Very quick and good value.

Rupert, Clapham Town, SW4
The electrician arrived timely and phoned before arrival. Very polite, friendly, professional and informative. He fixed a faulty socket, fixed a loose pendant & checked some wire connections in no time and to my satisfaction. Would recommend and use again.

Ali, Catford, SE6
Our electricity was cut off due to a leak from the flat above at midnight on Saturday night. The initial phone service at Aspect was calm and helpful, and the electrician was with us within the hour. He was thorough, friendly and managed to find a solution for the problem despite the over-arching issue with the leak.

Clare, Stoke Newington, N16
Scott was outstanding. He logically diagnosed the electrical fault, which wasn’t particularly easy but he made it look very easy. He then quickly and efficiently replaced our main switch for us as well as explaining it all step by step.

Josh, Ilford, IG1
Had two electricians from Aspect come and deal with a very complex issue with our wiring that several local firms had tried and failed to fix. They worked tirelessly to find several root causes and found creative solutions that avoided drastic and messy rewire work, they really went “above and beyond” and delivered work to a really high standard. Always punctual, polite and making sure to clean up after the works.

Martin, Beckenham, BR3
Your electrician was very good. He worked quickly, diagnosed well, even came up with a clever work around before carrying out the repairs. We will definitely have him back.

Rick, Putney, SW15
We had an urgent electrical fault that needed dealing with quickly. The job was carried out swiftly and with minimum impact to the company. I have no reservations recommending Aspect to anyone.

Maureen, Southwark, SE1

Do you need electrical fault-finding and repairs?

The root cause of an electrical fault is rarely obvious right away, and that’s where fault-finding comes in. Our electricians work through a methodical process of elimination to diagnose the problem, then explain the findings in a way that’s easy to understand. This fault-finding process removes the guesswork, so you can have a fixed-price quote for the repairs. If you’re happy, they can often perform these electrical repairs without having to schedule a return visit.

Get in touch if you notice any of the following:

Burning smells
Tripping circuits
Flickering lights
Buzzing in the walls
Sparking from sockets
Excessive energy bills
Any other electrical issues

Alarm testing and repairs

If you have safety alarms connected to the mains, then a member of our team can test them for you. We can test smoke alarms, carbon monoxide (CO) alarms, and heat alarms. We also carry out testing and repairs for emergency lighting. If we find a problem during the fault-finding process, then we may need to replace the unit instead of making repairs.

Please note: we don’t service fire alarms.

Electrical door entry, smart home systems and more

Whether you have trouble with your electrical door, electric gate, heating, or smart home system, our experts will be happy to diagnose the fault for you. We’re able to test cabling and check if there’s power to the system. If this is where the fault lies, we’ll be able to provide the electrical repairs needed.

Most manufacturers won’t allow a third-party contractor to access the software that controls their systems. That’s why, if our testing reveals a fault outside of the electrical installation, you’ll need to speak to the manufacturer. They can then schedule their own engineer to visit your property.

Account customers

We have a dedicated team of account handlers to support multi-site customers and commercial properties: Restaurants, Bars, Offices, Retail, Landlords, Letting Agencies, Hotels, Schools, Embassies, Care Homes and more.
