When a socket dies, a fuse keeps tripping or the lights go out and you can't find why, you want an electrician in Croydon who answers, turns up when he says he will, and tells you the price before any work starts. That is how Hills Maintenance & Repairs has worked for more than 30 years.
Rick started the firm after watching too many contractors cut corners on jobs they would never have stood for in their own homes. Every electrical job we take on across Croydon and South East London is done to the standard he would want under his own roof, and certified where the work calls for it.
A local electrician Croydon homeowners trust
We are based in Croydon and cover the whole of Croydon, from Addiscombe and Thornton Heath to South Croydon, Purley and Selsdon, plus the wider stretch of South East London, Kent and Surrey. You deal with a named local tradesman who knows the streets, not a stranger sent from miles away. He turns up himself, sees the job through, and leaves the place tidy.
You tell us what is wrong, we look at it properly, and you get a clear written quote before we start. There are no "while we're at it" extras waiting for you on the invoice.
Electrical jobs we take on
Most weeks that means the everyday domestic work that keeps a house safe and running:
- New sockets, extra points and faulty switch replacements
- Indoor and outdoor lighting, fitted or repaired
- Fault finding on tripping circuits, dead sockets and lost power
- Fuse board and consumer unit upgrades, signed off to current regs
- Full and partial rewires for older homes
- EICR inspections and electrical safety certificates
Fuse board upgrades, rewires and extra sockets
If your fuse board is an old rewireable type, keeps tripping, or simply isn't coping with how the house is used now, a modern consumer unit brings it up to current safety standards. We fit it, test it and certify it. The same goes for the bigger jobs: a full or partial rewire on an older property, or just an extra socket or two so you are not living off extension leads. We plan the work around you and tidy up after ourselves.
EICR and electrical safety certificates
Selling, letting or just want to know your wiring is safe? An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) checks the whole installation and tells you, in plain English, what is sound and what needs attention. Landlords need one by law every five years, and buyers' solicitors often ask for one. We carry out the inspection, explain what we find, and put right anything that needs doing.
NICEIC registered and fully insured
Electrical work is one job where the qualifications genuinely matter, so it pays to use someone who is properly registered. Hills Maintenance & Repairs is NICEIC registered and fully insured, with 30 plus years on the tools behind every job. Notifiable work is certified and signed off as it should be, and you get a real person to ring afterwards if anything is not right.
