Business Information
At Harkins & Vickers Electrical Solutions, we provide safe, reliable, and professional electrical services for homeowners. Whether you need a small repair, a full rewire, or modern upgrades to your home’s electrics, we deliver clear advice, high-quality workmanship, and work that complies fully with current UK regulations.
Electrical Installations -
We carry out all types of domestic electrical installations, from additional sockets and lighting upgrades to complete electrical systems for renovations and extensions. Every installation is carefully planned, neatly finished, and tested to ensure long-term safety and performance.
Rewires and Upgrades -
Older electrical systems can be unsafe, inefficient, and unsuitable for modern living. We provide full and partial rewires, as well as targeted upgrades to improve capacity, safety, and reliability. If you’re renovating, extending, or buying an older property, we’ll assess what’s needed and explain your options clearly.
Lighting Solutions -
Good lighting transforms a home. We install internal and external lighting, including LED upgrades, feature lighting, garden lighting, and security lighting. Our focus is on practical design, energy efficiency, and clean installation—no messy cabling or rushed finishes.
Consumer Unit (Fuse Board) Replacements -
An outdated fuse board is one of the biggest electrical safety risks in a home. We replace old units with modern consumer units fitted with RCD and RCBO protection, improving safety and compliance while giving you peace of mind.
Electrical Fault Finding and Repairs -
If something isn’t working properly—or keeps tripping—we’ll find the fault and fix it properly, not just mask the problem. We carry out systematic testing to identify issues safely and efficiently, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Electrical Safety Inspections and Testing -
We offer Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for homeowners, landlords, and buyers. These inspections check the safety of your electrical system and highlight any issues clearly, without exaggeration or scare tactics.
Smart Home and Modern Upgrades -
From smart lighting and heating controls to USB sockets and EV charger installations, we help homeowners modernise their properties with practical, future-ready solutions that actually add value and convenience.
How We Work -
We treat every home with respect. That means turning up when we say we will, explaining work in plain English, keeping things tidy, and completing jobs to a professional standard. Safety and compliance are never optional, and we don’t cut corners.
Whether it’s a small job or a major upgrade, our aim is simple: safe electrics, done properly.

Keith Gunn responded very promptly to a competitive tender request for
the fitting of new downlights (customer supplied) and other minor electrical upgrades, sending a very helpful surveyor to assess the work, with an estimate submitted the following day. After acceptance of their tender two engineers and an apprentice were on site within a week , completing the project within the day as forecast. Their lead engineer, Peter, was very helpful and customer oriented, leaving the site tidy and complete, an electrical certificate being immediately provided. I would certainly use Keith Gunn again, and would recommend.

The work was to change the old neon tube stair lights in our tenement to LED fittings.
Though the quote was provided in 2018 it was retained unchanged for 3 months while we got owners agreement to go ahead.
A choice was offered regarding the date to carry out the work. The electrician who was polite and courteous turned up at the time agreed and finished within the expected timescale. The worksite was left tidy and the old fittings removed.
A recommendation was made regarding other work where the installation was found not to meet current standards.

We had our kitchen rewired as part of a mostly-DIY project. The company communicated well from the outset and were quick to provide a quote and book in the work. They were also marginally cheaper than our other quotes.
The electricians were reliable and did a good job, listening to our requirements, they tidied up after themselves as well which we appreciated. As a bonus, they mounted the cooker hood for us - we only expected them to provide the power socket so we were nicely surprised!

Very pleased with the work completed. The guys were polite and efficient, good enough to answer general questions I had about the electrics in my property and work I might have done further down the line. It was just a small job but they arrived on time, work was done with very little disruption, place was spotless when they left. I'd be happy to have them back if I have the need in the future.

I got Keith Gunn to do a number of electrical jobs in my new house shortly after moving in. They were really easy to communicate with to get the work arranged. The prices were reasonable and the team of electricians who visited the house were hard working and efficient. I would definitely use them again for any future work.

Everyone I spoke to at Keith Gunn - by phone and via email - at both booking and paying stages, was very friendly and communicative, and the electrician who came out to do the job was wonderful. There was a bit of a mix-up regarding what the work was going to involve, and he couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommended.

Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions Ltd. rewired our house, it was a substantial project and took a little longer than initially projected but they kept us informed along the way were very friendly and easy to deal with, put lots of extra time and effort in to get us up and running as soon as possible. The quality of work was great and they cleaned up after themselves well. Definitely recommended!

Keith Gunn re-wired my lights, plus a few other minor jobs. They were reliable, turning up when specified to firstly assess the job, and then to carry out the work. The job was done professionally and efficiently and I'm very happy with the quality of the work and the manner it was carried out.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Keith Gunn to anyone. I will use them again for any future electrical works.

Oh if only there were more firms like this.....excellent, polite and speedy communications, through to well turned-out punctual electricians who treat the customer with care....then excellent electrical services and a clean and tidy job. Can't fault them. Certainly a step-up from so many other trades. It makes it such a pleasure when there's good communication and great service. Have used Keith Gunn electrical on numerous occassions now and always have trust that they'll do what they say they will, treat the house with care and deliver and excellent professional service.
