What Oxford Customers Say
Recent callouts, in their own words.
“Whole flat lost power just before midnight. He was here within half an hour, found a failed connection in the hall and had everything back on before one.”
“Our board had been tripping for a fortnight. They tested every circuit properly and traced it to a soaked outside light. Price was exactly what was quoted.”
“Landlord with student houses off Cowley Road. Quick to attend, EICRs emailed the same day, and the tenants said they were polite throughout.”
“Listed terrace and I was worried about damage. They planned the cable route first, kept the work minimal and left no mess behind at all.”
“Burning smell from a socket on a Sunday evening. Told me what to isolate while driving over, then replaced the back box and tested the ring.”
“Cafe lost power an hour before opening. Someone arrived in twenty-five minutes and we served on time. Invoice matched the quote to the penny.”
Listed Stone, Student Houses and Terraces Split Three Ways
Oxford has an unusual mix: protected buildings where a cable cannot simply be chased into a wall, and thousands of ordinary terraces carrying far more tenants than they were wired for.
In the centre, Jericho and parts of Summertown, listed status and solid stone decide where wiring can physically run, which is why so many circuits here follow routes that look strange until you see the building. Around Cowley Road, East Oxford and Headington the issue is different: houses divided into student lets with circuits split room by room and consumer units that were never upgraded to match. Knowing which you are walking into is half the diagnosis.

Questions From Oxford Callers
If what you are seeing is not here, phone and ask. It costs nothing to check.
Call 01865679190How quickly can you reach me in Oxford? +
Usually within twenty-five to thirty-five minutes anywhere in the city, including Jericho, Cowley, Headington and Summertown. Villages out towards Eynsham, Wheatley or Kidlington add a little, and we give you a realistic window on the call.
Do you cover the villages around Oxford? +
Yes. Kidlington, Yarnton, Wolvercote, Botley, Eynsham, Wheatley, Garsington and the lanes between them are all covered. Rural distance adds minutes, never a surcharge.
Is there a call-out charge at night or on a Sunday? +
The price is the same whatever the hour. No night rate, no weekend surcharge and no bank holiday premium. You hear the figure before we set off and it does not change when we arrive.
Can you work on listed and conservation area property? +
Yes, and a large share of our central Oxford work is exactly that. Listed status and solid stone limit where cable can run and how walls can be opened, so we plan the route before touching anything and will say plainly if a job needs consent first.
Do you work with student houses and HMOs? +
Constantly. Houses around Cowley Road, East Oxford and Headington often have circuits divided room by room without the consumer unit being upgraded, which is why they trip under ordinary use. Landlord certification can be done during the same visit.
Parking in the centre is difficult. Is that a problem? +
It is ours to deal with, not yours. Our electricians handle permit zones, controlled parking and loading restrictions across the city every day, and parking is never added to your invoice.
