10 Common Electrical Jobs Every Homeowner Needs (and How We Can Help)

When something electrical in your home stops working, you need a professional you can trust to fix it — quickly, safely, and to a high standard. At Bluerock Electrical, we provide expert domestic electrical services in Barnet, North London, and surrounding areas. With over 20 years of experience as NICEIC Approved Electricians, we handle everything from small repairs to complete electrical installations.

No job is too small for us — because even a simple socket replacement or light fitting can make your home safer and more convenient. Below, we’ve listed 10 of the most common electrical jobs for homeowners and how we can help with each one.

1. Fixing Faulty Lights

Flickering bulbs, buzzing switches, or lights that don’t turn on can be more than a nuisance — they can be a safety hazard. Our electricians in Barnet diagnose and repair lighting issues quickly, using proper testing equipment to ensure your home is safe and up to current wiring standards.

2. Adding Extra Sockets

Older homes often lack enough plug sockets for modern living. We can install new power outlets exactly where you need them — whether surface-mounted for speed or neatly chased into the wall for a tidy, modern look.

3. Kitchen Electrical Upgrades

Kitchens are busy electrical spaces, with appliances, lighting, and ventilation all needing safe wiring. We install dedicated cooker circuits, extractor fans, under-cabinet lighting, and RCD protection so your kitchen is safe and fully functional.

4. Bathroom Electrics

Bathrooms require special safety measures. We fit electric showers, extractor fans, lighting, and heated mirrors with full compliance to current regulations, ensuring moisture protection and proper isolation.

5. Outdoor & Garden Lighting

We make outdoor electrics safe, stylish, and weather-resistant. From security lights to garden feature lighting, we use IP-rated fittings, armoured cables, and RCD protection for complete peace of mind.

6. Fault Finding & Electrical Repairs

From tripping circuits to non-working sockets, our fault-finding service uses advanced test equipment to locate and fix problems efficiently — without unnecessary disruption.

7. Consumer Unit (Fuse Box) Upgrades

If your fuse box is outdated, upgrading to a modern consumer unit with RCD and SPD protection greatly improves safety and prevents damage to sensitive electronics.

8. Installing Smart Switches & Controls

We install smart home systems, including Alexa and Google-compatible lighting, Nest thermostats, and app-based controls — helping you save energy and improve comfort.

9. EV Charger Installation

With the rise of electric cars, having a home EV charging point is becoming essential. We install chargers safely and efficiently, making sure your home electrics can handle the load.

10. Small Jobs & Everyday Fixes

From replacing a broken switch to swapping out light fittings, no job is too small. Our friendly, local electricians are happy to help with any electrical task in your home.
