Emergency & Out-of-Hours Electrician
If you have lost power, your fuse board keeps tripping, or you can smell burning, call 01732 655003. During working hours we get back to you within 2 hours and, for a genuine emergency in Sevenoaks and the surrounding villages, we will usually be with you the same day. Weekday late callouts run until 6pm, and outside those hours the same number diverts to whoever is covering for genuine emergencies. If we cannot finish on the first visit, we make it safe and give you a written quote for the repair.

Great service. Tim was quick to respond to my message and arrived on time. He resolved my electrical issues quickly and professionally and I appreciated the manner in which he communicated and engaged. A strong service minded electrician who is reliable, what more could I ask for.
Reply from TDRHi Justine, thanks for leaving a review glad to help.
No hesitation in making 5 star review. Great service from Tim. Two new consumer units fitted and full test. Expertly dealt with the old wiring issues to make good. Would I use again? Absolutely.
Really pleased with the work Tim has done in our house. Professional and reliable. Would definitely recommend!
