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An outdated fuse board is one of the biggest electrical safety risks in a home.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.

Electricians from this company have visited the house on three occasions in the last year for different jobs, including retrofitting LED lights in the kitchen, replacing a broken socket, replacing downlights in the hall and replacing an extractor fan in the shower room. On each occasion I was happy with the work done; with the efficiency, politeness, helpfulness and courtesy of the guys doing the work; and with being kept informed of what needed done and was being done. They are now my "go-to" electricians.

We had smoke alarm compliance testing, installation of a new fan and new sockets installed by Keith Gunn. The tradesmen were efficient and knowledgeable and arrived on time, or before. They took great care of our property and protected our furniture and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. Would recommend.

We wanted a chandelier light fitting removed and replaced with a standard pendant fitting. Arranging the appointment before hand was a very simple and efficient process and Pedro from Keith Gunn Electrical turned up bang on time and completed the job very quickly. He was very kind and professional, even offering to assist with moving our furniture back into place afterwards. We will definitely use this company in future for any electrical jobs and would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Keith Gunn Electrical Service, attended my flat within two hours of me making an online enquiry. Simon the manger was professional and polite and the team who carried out the work were equally so.

I’d have no hesitation to recommend them, great service KGES!

I have used Keith Gunn on a number of occasions and the reason for this is that I know they will provide a good job for a fair price and are good to work with. Most recently they have replaced old and beyond-repair lights in the shared common hall and stairs of my flat and also reset the timer mechanism which was behaving erratically. The turned up when expected, did the work quickly leaving no mess.

After I first used Keith Gunn some years ago I recommended them to a relative who was similarly impressed and so recommended them to a neighbour - that says it all.

I wanted a few lights changed with the company supplying the basic fittings, and I asked if a light switch that turned on two lights could be changed to a double switch. I received a detailed quote before booking the job. Staff on the phone were all very friendly and helpful. The electrician (David) was professional, friendly and cheery - despite having been stuck in traffic. The work was all done quickly, neatly and he cleared up afterwards. David offered to change the switch there and then so everything was completed. Invoice matched the quote with the addition of the cost of the new switch.
I'm really pleased with the service. I have used Keith Gunn Electrical a few years ago for similar and for the stair light in a tenement, and this standard is consistent in my experience.

We had electricity installed in our garden office.
We were really impressed with how quickly Keith Gunn responded to our needs, including giving us a quote and carrying out the word required.
They were extremely helpful, making sure we could also run an intranet cable through the same space. Tidy and polite throughout the work, we couldn't have been happier with the service and would definitely highly recommend this company.

Keith Gunn performed a EICR assessment, and then replaced the faulty fuse box, fixed some unsafe wiring, and replaced non-waterproof lighting in the bathroom. They were professional, had good communication, and I have zero complaints about the work done. I will happily use them again if I need more work in the future.

Really impressed with the service from start to finish. Contacted the firm to complete an EICR on my own property after a few issues I had noticed. All phone / email enquires were handled promptly and efficiently. Both the initial inspection and then the follow up work were handled really well. All information was communicated precisely and I felt reassured that all suggested works were necessary. The work itself was carried out promptly and with respect for my home. The final bill was lower than the initial quote as one problem had been solved quicker and easier than predicted.
Really great service from everyone at the firm and the guys on site were really pleasant and knowledgable. Would definitely use the firm again.

I was very pleased with this highly professional service. This company has been around for a long time, their electricians are excellent at what they do--and they are eager to explain how they work and why it matters.

Highly recommended for quality service.
