Hi. I’m looking to get some electrical cables and sockets chased into walls in my flat. Anyone got a recommendation for a tradesperson who could do this? Looking to get it done in next few / weeks or months.

Hi @Alphabetbyrne - I’ve moved your post to this thread - take a look and see if there’s anything useful here.

Hello
Has anyone has any contact with Liam Tallis or Lumens Electrical Services over the past few months please? I paid Liam to carry out some work for me at the end of Feb and paid his invoice instantly. He carried out some of the work but was meant to send me an EICR (for which I have paid him in full) and nothing. I have been chasing him since early March - ignores my calls, texts, whatsapp and emails. From Companies House website their accounts look to be overdue. Be interested to know if anyone has been in touch with them.
Thanks
Laura

Hello, just wondering if anyone has any (more recent) electrician recommendations? We have a few small jobs round the house that need doing… thanks!

We always use Kal at SE Electricals: 07966 580033. He’s a very friendly guy and always does a great job. Never had an issue with him.

Hello,

I have used Leon twice, both times he did not let me down, I found him originally in my builder.com. He worked out a job which another electrician could not sort out(unfortunately it happens often for electricians). He was quite flexible as well ( I needed him to come around certain time range, he did it very well).
Not sure where he is based but he seems to come around SE23 often.
07908 257448.

We’re experiencing the exact same thing with Liam. Had him carry out some initial work, which he did out without any issues. Then we did the EICR test on his recommendation. He came and did some tests, we paid promptly but then never received any report whatsoever. Have messaged him numerous times but only received excuses or was just ignored. He was professional in person but now reading that you faced a similar situation is rather shocking if not scam-ey. Curious to know if you ever heard back since…

#33

Nope, I heard nothing back despite calls, texts, emails. When did he carry out this work for you please? There accounts are still showing as overdue on Companies House

#34

It was in February this year - I hope this thread at least helps someone in the future to avoid wasting money, nerves and time.

Hi, there are some marvellous recommendations on here. Unfortunately most of them are busy for the next few weeks. Can anyone recommended an electrician that hasn’t been recommended here already? It’s just a quick job of fixing the shower isolator switch which went bang this morning.

Cheers

HELP! All the electrics in my flat went late last night as if there was a power cut but it obviously wasn’t a power cut as the other flats in the block and nearby properties weren’t affected!

I checked each of the fuses in the fuse box this morning and all the wiring seens intact so not sure what the issue is. However I’m having an issue getting an electrician who can come today. Have tried all the recommendations on here except the one with updated negative comments and check a trade. Has anyone got any further recommendations or advice. Many Thanks

#41

It could be the main fuse. If so, I think you can get the Electricity Board (or whatever they are called now) to fix it for a charge.

Not all properties in a road are on the same power cable. I found this out when my power went off. I think there are three cables per road. It is random which one they connect a house to.

#42

Thanks for the advice Michael. Fingers crossed an electrician is coming tomorrow. As I’m in a small block of 5 flats wouldn’t the block be supplied by the same power cable? On the odd occasion we’ve had a powercut before the whole block has been affected.

#43

I think the block would be supplied by the same power cable.

Therefore, it sounds to me like a main fuse blown.
