Domestic electricians · Nottingham
Rewires, consumer units, EV chargers and lighting that makes a room. Four NICEIC-registered electricians, a fixed price before we start, and the power back on before we leave each day.
Four electricians, four vans
Since 2011 Brightwell has worked across Nottingham from a small unit on Haydn Road. No call centre, no subcontractors, no surprises on the invoice. We answer the phone, turn up when we said, and leave the place cleaner than we found it.
The board
Everything we do, laid out like the board under your stairs. Scroll to switch them on, or press any breaker.
01 / 08 REWIRE
Old rubber or fabric cable, no earth to the lights, sockets that crackle. We rewire room by room so you can stay in, chase neatly, and leave the walls ready for the plasterer.
From £4,800 3-bed semi
Quote for this02 / 08 BOARD
A fuse box with wire fuses, or one RCD for the whole house, is the thing we replace most. New all-RCBO boards with surge protection, so one fault trips one circuit and not everything.
From £595 fitted
Quote for this03 / 08 EICR
The full inspection and test, with a written report in plain English. For landlords, buyers and anyone who has never had one. Every C1 and C2 explained, priced, and fixed if you want us to.
From £150 1–2 bed
Quote for this04 / 08 EV
A 7 kW smart charger on your wall, with the load check, the DNO notification and the app set up before we leave. Renters and flat owners can get up to £500 off through the OZEV grant.
From £899 fitted
Quote for this05 / 08 LIGHTS
Pendants over the island, strips under the cupboards, dimmable downlights that do not hum. We plan where the light should fall before we cut a single hole in a ceiling.
From £65 per fitting
Quote for this06 / 08 SMART
Lighting scenes, heating controls, video doorbells and cameras, wired in rather than running on batteries. They work with the app you already use, and still work from an ordinary switch.
From £180 doorbell, fitted
Quote for this07 / 08 SOLAR
Panels on the roof and a battery in the garage or loft, sized from your real bills, not a brochure. Zero VAT until 31 March 2027, and your export tariff set up before we go.
From £9,400 4 kWp + 5 kWh
Quote for this08 / 08 FAULTS
A breaker that will not stay up, a dead socket, lights that flicker when the kettle goes on. We trace it, explain it and fix it, usually on the first visit.
From £75 first hour
Quote for thisPrices
Our starting prices for a typical home. Most jobs land within 15 per cent of them, and you get a fixed written quote before we start. Everything includes VAT and the certificate.
Prices include VAT at 20 per cent, except solar and batteries, which are zero-rated until 31 March 2027. Making good after a rewire (plastering and decorating) is quoted separately. No call-out charge inside the ring road during working hours.
EV chargers
Most installs are a standard job: a 7 kW charger on the wall within ten metres of your board, done in half a day. Tell us about yours for a guide price now, then send two photos for a fixed one.
The OZEV chargepoint grant
Up to £500 off for renters, and for flat owners with private off-street parking, until 31 March 2027. You apply to OZEV yourself once the charger is ordered; we are approved installers and send you everything the form asks for.
Our work
Carlton · Consumer unit
Wire fuses on a scorched wooden back board, and no RCD on anything. We fitted an all-RCBO board with surge protection, tested and labelled every circuit, and had the power back by four. Hannah got the certificate by email that evening.

Lighting, chargers, rewires and solar. Keep scrolling.
For landlords and letting agents
Rented homes in England need an electrical inspection at least every five years, and any urgent remedial work done inside 28 days. Councils can fine up to £30,000. We inspect, send the report the same day, price any remedials on the spot, and text you when the next one is due.
14 Elm Avenue, Mapperley, NG3
Reminder set: we will text you in September 2030
How it works
Call, message or send a couple of photos with the form. We reply inside two working hours, usually much sooner.
Small jobs are priced from photos the same day. Bigger ones get a free visit and a written quote within 24 hours.
We arrive when we said, cover the floors and keep the power on wherever we can. Rewires: back on every evening.
The installation certificate and the building regulations notice arrive by email, usually the same week.

Replaced our 1970s fuse box in a day, explained every circuit and labelled the lot. The quote was the price, to the pound.

Full rewire while we lived in the house with two kids. Power on every night, floors covered, and they hoovered before they left.
Dev · SherwoodFull rewire

I manage eleven rentals and Brightwell keep the EICR dates for me. Reports come the same day and the remedials are fairly priced.
Claire · BeestonLetting agent

Charger fitted in a morning, the cable along the wall so neat you would think it came with the house. Helped me with the grant form too.

Lights flickering for months. Ellie found a loose neutral in ten minutes that two other people had missed.

They planned the lighting with us before the plasterer came. The pendants over the island are the first thing everyone mentions.

Questions

0115 496 0391In England some electrical work has to be notified to building control: a new circuit, a consumer unit replacement, and most work in a bathroom. As NICEIC-registered electricians we self-certify it and notify the council for you, so you get an Electrical Installation Certificate and a building regulations compliance certificate. Keep both: a buyer’s solicitor will ask for them.
A 3-bed semi usually takes five to seven working days, plus a return visit for the second fix once the plastering is done. Most families stay in. We work room by room and put the power back on to the whole house every evening.
Fuses with wire in them, a wooden back board, no RCD protection, or a board that trips often are the usual signs. An EICR tells you for certain, and we will not sell you a board you do not need.
Landlords in England need one at least every five years, with any urgent remedial work done within 28 days. Homeowners: every ten years, or when you buy a house. We email the report the same day and keep the date on file.
A home charger needs off-street parking, because a cable across the pavement is not allowed. If you rent, or own a flat with a private space, the OZEV grant can take up to £500 off until 31 March 2027. You apply to OZEV yourself once the charger is ordered, and we send you everything the form asks for.
No. Small jobs are priced from photos. Larger jobs get a free visit and a written quote within 24 hours, and the price does not change unless the job does.
Card, bank transfer or Apple Pay, when the job is done. For jobs over £2,000 we take a 20 per cent deposit for materials. You never pay for work we have not done.
We carry £5 million of public liability insurance and guarantee our workmanship for six years. If something we fitted fails, we come back and put it right at no charge.
Where we work
From the unit in Sherwood we cover the city and the towns around it. Further out for rewires and solar: ask.
