Free written quotes across Bristol and Bath

Electrics done properly, across Bristol.

Rewires, fuse boards, EV chargers and lighting for homes and small businesses. Clear prices, tidy work and a certificate for every job.

We are a small team of electricians who turn up when we say, explain what we find in plain English, and leave your home cleaner than we found it.

Most of our work comes from people who have had a bad experience elsewhere: half-finished jobs, mystery extras on the bill, or a house left covered in plaster dust. We work the other way round.

Step 1 of 2 · The job

What do you need?

The work we are asked for most

Three jobs make up most of our week. Each one is quoted in writing after a visit, so the price you agree is the price you pay.

Rewires and fuse boards

Old wiring and a tired fuse board are the most common reasons for tripping and scorched sockets. We plan the work around you, so you can usually stay at home while we do it.

  • Full or partial rewires
  • RCBO consumer units
  • Extra sockets
  • Part P certificate

EV charger installs

We check your supply, fit the charger on its own protected circuit and show you how to schedule charging for cheaper overnight rates.

  • Home and workplace chargers
  • Load management
  • Tethered or untethered
  • Smart app set-up

Lighting design and installs

Good lighting changes how a room feels. We help you place it, pick the right fittings and dimmers, and fit everything without chasing walls you have just painted.

  • Pendants and downlights
  • Kitchen and cabinet lighting
  • Garden lighting
  • Smart dimming

Circuit schedule

Everything we do, laid out like the inside of your fuse board

Six kinds of job cover nearly every call we get. Each one comes with a written quote, the right certificate at the end, and a clean house when we leave.

  1. 01 RewiresWhole house or a few rooms, with dust sheets down and floorboards lifted and relaid neatly. Most 3-bed homes take 5 to 7 days
  2. 02 Consumer unitsOld fuse boards swapped for a modern board with RCBO protection on every circuit. Usually done in a day
  3. 03 EV chargersHome chargers fitted on a dedicated circuit, with load checks so the rest of the house keeps running. Half a day on most driveways
  4. 04 LightingDownlights, pendants, garden and under-cabinet lighting, planned with you room by room. From a single room to a full house
  5. 05 Fault findingTripping switches, dead sockets and flickering lights traced to the cause and fixed. Same or next working day
  6. 06 EICR testingElectrical condition reports for landlords, buyers and sellers, written up in plain English. Around 3 to 4 hours on site
Part P registered for domestic work · Certificates issued on completionBook a job

How a job runs

The same three steps, whether it is one socket or a full rewire.

  1. 01

    Visit and written quote

    We look at the job, test what we need to, and send a fixed price with what is and is not included.

  2. 02

    Booked in and done tidily

    Dust sheets down, floors protected, and the power off only when it has to be. You get a text the evening before.

  3. 03

    Tested and certified

    Every circuit is tested before we leave. Certificates and building control notices are emailed to you within a few days.

If we would not be happy with it in our own house, it does not leave the van.

That means proper cable routes, labelled boards and no loose ends hidden behind a faceplate.

  • Fixed written prices, no surprise extras
  • Your home protected and cleaned as we go
  • Every circuit tested and labelled

What happens on the day

No surprises. This is exactly how a visit from us goes.

  1. The evening before

    A text confirming your arrival window and who is coming.

  2. On arrival

    Dust sheets down, floors protected, and a walk round to agree where the power goes off and for how long.

  3. During the work

    Room by room, with power back on each evening wherever we can manage it.

  4. Before we leave

    Every circuit tested, the board labelled, and a walk round to show you what we did.

  5. Within a few days

    Certificates and any building control notice emailed to you.

Two-minute check

Is your fuse board due an upgrade?

Open the cupboard, have a look, and answer five quick questions.

Are any of the fuses the old rewireable kind, with fuse wire in ceramic holders instead of switches?
Is there no switch on the board with a small button marked T or Test?
Is the board's case plastic rather than metal?
Does a switch trip more than once a month?
Has it been more than ten years since anyone inspected your electrics?

Answer the questions to see your result

A quick guide, not an inspection. If you ever see scorch marks, smell burning or hear buzzing from the board, call us straight away.

Meet the owner

I started Aster because I was tired of seeing good homes let down by rushed electrics. I still price every job myself and I am on site for every rewire, so the person you meet at the quote is the person who signs your certificate.

Questions people ask first

If yours is not here, ring us. We are happy to talk it through.

No. Quotes are free and always in writing. For small jobs we can often give you a price over the phone from a couple of photos.

Usually, yes. We work room by room and get power back on each evening wherever we can, so the kettle and fridge keep going.

Yes. Every job gets the right certificate, and notifiable work is registered with building control for you. It all arrives by email.

We fill and leave walls ready for decorating. If you would like us to arrange plastering and painting too, we can quote for it.

For no power, burning smells or repeated tripping, call us directly. Most faults are seen the same or next working day.
