Electricity is unforgiving of guesswork. A tripping breaker, a warm socket or a light that flickers when the washing machine starts is telling you something specific — and the fix depends on reading that signal correctly. Our electricians test circuits, isolate faults and repair them to the standards your insurer, landlord or buyer will expect to see evidence of.
We handle everything from replacing a faulty breaker or a dead socket to installing new lighting circuits, extractor fans and outdoor supplies. Every job is tested and certified where the regulations require it, and we explain in plain English what we found, what we changed and what to watch for in future. If a fault turns out to be a symptom of something bigger — aged wiring, an overloaded circuit, water ingress into a consumer unit — you will hear it from us honestly, with options and prices rather than a sales pitch.

How the price works
We charge a booking fee to hold your slot, then an hourly rate for the work itself. The fee changes with how soon you need us; the hourly rate changes with the slot you choose. You approve the price before we start, so there is no surprise on the invoice.

What our customers say about our electrical service
4.6 out of 5 from 11 reviews
Does what it says on the tin
No complaints about the work itself — clear explanation, sensible advice, fair price. Booking online was easy enough once I found the right job page.
Job: Smoke Alarm Replacement
Fixed it, but took longer than expected
Work itself was fine and tidy. Communication beforehand was patchy — I did not get the confirmation message and had to ring to check the slot. Would still use again.
Job: Flickering Outdoor Lights
Turned up when they said
Third time we have used Maintenance Men, and the same experience each time: agreed price, proper explanation, job done in one visit. The hourly rate is fair for the standard of work.
Job: Appliance Causing Power Trip
Sorted the same day
Really straightforward. It had been bothering us for weeks; diagnosed properly, fixed the same visit, and the price was exactly what was explained when booking. Can not fault it.
Job: Broken Garden Lights
Would use again
Rang in the morning and they got to us in Solihull by early afternoon. Very clear about what needed doing, what it would cost and what could wait. No pressure to add extras. Exactly the sort of tradesperson you want.
Job: Loose Light Fixture
Sorted the same day
I had put off sorting this for months because I expected a runaround. Quoted the booking fee plus hourly rate upfront, stuck to it, and actually found the underlying cause rather than just clearing the symptom. Worked neatly and hoovered up afterwards.
Job: Garden Lighting Fault
