Why use Airtasker electricians in Islington?

Having the power go out while you’re inside your London flat can be a hassle. Waiting for an electrician to install your appliance can take ages. But trying to fix electrical wires yourself can be dangerous, from electrical shocks to potentially starting a fire. 

Instead of risking a shoddy DIY job or calling up electricians who’ll make you wait, why not book an Islington-based electrician on Airtasker instead? 

If you’re from Finsbury, Highgate, or any of the other areas in this borough, you can use our platform to request and book an electrician near you.

You can hire an electrician to help you set up the lights in your Duncan Terrace house, repair your air conditioner, or even ensure your Upper Street restaurant is up to code

Once you start writing your request, you can specify the tasks, your location, and even set your budget. Then, you’ll receive offers from nearby electricians, and you’ll get to check out the Taskers’ ratings and reviews right before you book.

All this - from writing your request to confirming an appointment - takes only a few minutes! Perfect for those in the middle of an electrical emergency.

Electrical problems aren’t the only things that Taskers can solve. You can also book handymen to repair your doors and find plumbers who can fix your clogged toilet. Whatever the chore at hand, you can find an Islington-based Tasker who’ll get it done in a jiffy.

There’s no need to risk your safety and your house just trying to set up that electric shower or fridge. Just hit “Post a task” and start looking for an electrician near you.

What do electrician services include?

Our local electrical contractors can handle all electrical projects, be it for residential, commercial, or industrial properties. If you are building from scratch, they can help construct an efficient electrical framework for you. They can also establish new electrical wiring and control panels, and test the electrical flow for your safety. 

As for existing properties, electricians can routinely maintain, repair, and upgrade your power systems whenever needed. They can also handle electrical equipment and machinery for factories and manufacturing plants. Here is the better overview of our electrical services:

Domestic electrician

Electrical safety is paramount when it comes to your home, and that's when residential electricians play a vital role. They follow safety regulations and make sure that all electrical components and control panels, including electrical wiring and cables, are in good condition to avoid any incidents that could put you and your family at risk.

Domestic electricians can establish power points and switches to support your household appliances. They can also assist with installing various electrical appliances such as electric heaters and showers, in case you're looking to upgrade or planning a renovation. All while ensuring they follow all building regulations.

Commercial electrician

Not to be confused with domestic electricians, commercial electricians are mostly involved in large-scale projects for buildings and various businesses like restaurants, hotels, and corporate offices. Depending on your establishment's requirements, they can fix lighting, heating, and cooling systems or install fire alarms and other security equipment if needed.

Industrial electrician

For engineering projects or tasks that involve higher voltage systems and more complex machinery, it's better to connect with a licensed industrial electrician. Their services include electrical construction and maintenance for industries like factories and plants. They don't just install lights and electrical heaters. Most of the time, they also deal with different types of manufacturing equipment, including hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Industrial electricians can also troubleshoot problems and repair them as they see fit. They can even create tailored maintenance programs for your electrical motors and generators.

Emergency electrician

The moment you sense something odd with your control panels, sockets, and switches, or notice a burning smell, spark, or flickering of lights, get in touch with a local electrician immediately. With Airtasker, finding available emergency electricians in your area is fast and easy! You won't even have to worry about not having any tools on hand–most electricians are already equipped with their own professional tool kits, which they can bring with them for any service that you may need.

Electrician to help fix my pull light switch

£30

St Luke's, Greater London

8th May 2024

Feels like it’s progressively getting worse. Definitely not the light issue as its LED and pretty new, think something is dirty or loose in he switch wiring

Jamal was friendly, communicative and got the job done

Electrician jobs

£120

Barnsbury, Greater London, N1

22nd Apr 2024

Electrician jobs throughout the house. The jobs are as follows; - Moving light approx 50cm to new position. - 1x light in living room not turning on that needs to be checked and light fixture fitted. - Installing 2x new light fixtures in kitchen. - Swapping 2x a shaver socket and 2x replacing string light switch. Please see here a photo of the area that needs the light moved so you can have a better idea of the job and can see it is not far at all. Approx 50cm more or less to be in line with the light that can be seen in the back. Hopefully can be done by extending the cable a little and creating a new hole in new location to minimise dry patching required. I am top floor flat so nothing above except roof plenty of space to cut a hole. It is approx 50cm from where existing location is. The reason for this is because I have built a cabinet and if light is left in current location will prevent door from opening. The other jobs are just minor electrical jobs, just fitting new fixtures or checking the circuit to see why its not turning on in the living room. Experience with electrical jobs required.

Punctual, knowledgeable and efficient. As well as great attention to detail in his work and has a solution to almost any problem faced.

"Protect" indicator or LED Flashing Search Find the answer to your question Search... What does the "Protect" indicator or the On/Standby LED flashing mean? The "Protection" light comes on when the receiver’s sensing and thermal monitors detect unusual operating condition that, if left unchecked, might damage the amplifier. Some receivers you may see the word "Protect" on the receiver's display. Other receivers have a flashing red light on the Standby LED. This can happen if there’s a dead short in a speaker wire or if you’re using very low impedance loudspeakers at high volume for an extended length of time. In thermal cases, the circuitry will automatically reset after a few minutes of cool down and the protection indicator goes away, and normal
