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An outdated fuse board is one of the biggest electrical safety risks in a home.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

We required an Electrical Installation Condition Report to help us assess whether our new home requires rewiring. Very friendly and professional service

I found it hard to find an electrician to look at our Fire Curtain. They took the job on and did it well.

I recently arranged with Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions to change the bathroom light fittings from halogen to LED bulbs, and to install a switch in the hall for the bathroom lights, replacing a cord pull that failed every so often. They also needed to make a minor modification to the fusebox.
Their engineer arrived promptly at the stated time and did the work very neatly, efficiently and pleasantly. I was particularly pleased that putting in the switch led to minimal and barely noticeable disturbance to the wall above the switch in the hall, and nothing noticeable in the bathroom behind the wall.
The new lights and the switch are in good working order. I would certainly use KGES again for future electrical work.

After trying 4 other electricians and not hearing back, I was delighted to get straight through to KGES to get a quote and book the work. Our electrician turned up on time, was a great guy and very professional. We are happy with every aspect of the service and I went out of my way to email KGES afterwards to tell them how good their electrician was.

I would certainly have them back to work in my flat.
We had an extractor fitted in the shower room by a very nice young man
called Jack. He was efficient and courteous as was all of the staff
who contacted me regarding the installation.
Would certainly recommend these guys.

We had a bad experience with a previous electrician and didn’t really know who to turn to. We found Keith Gunn online and they came round promptly. There advise was great and had a really professional approach. Importantly, we never felt pressurised into doing any work with all works itemised as requested. We have since had them out twice to do a variety of jobs including testing the electrics and replacing fuse boxes. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for other works around the house or recommending them to friends and family. Highly recommend!!

Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions fixed a faulty double socket for me. The whole process, from initial contact to final invoice was flawless. They replied to my initial enquiry quickly, they arrived when promised, the electrician was courteous and thorough and did the work with no mess. I can’t fault them and will use them again without hesitation.

I had a new integrated RF smoke/heat/carbon monoxide system installed plus 2 replacement kitchen lights and light flex in the bedroom. Everything was done very efficiently and quickly (in fact I was impressed with just how quickly the work was completed). The electrician was very polite, friendly and listened to what I was saying and checked everything was as I wanted. He also answered my questions and cleaned up after him. Very pleased with the service provided (I had used them previously for another small job) so would use them again and definitely recommend them to others.

We have just moved house and wanted a few light fittings changed. I also had questions about whether some lights were appropriate for where they are situated, e.g. bathroom. The person I spoke to on the phone was very helpful as was the electrician who did the work.
We had a bit of a problem because the fitting we had bought from Ikea required a hook, which Ikea don't supply. KGES were really helpful in supplying the extra part and arranging to come back the following day to finish the work.
