NAPIT Approved★★★★★ on GoogleFully insuredFree quotes
Are Bristol Phoenix Group qualified and approved electricians?

Yes. We are NAPIT approved electricians, which means our work is regularly assessed and certificated to the BS 7671 wiring regulations. Every job is fully insured, guaranteed and comes with the correct certification.

Which areas of Bristol do you cover?

We are based in South Bristol (Bishopsworth, BS13) and cover BS3, BS4, BS13, BS14 and BS41, including Bedminster, Brislington, Knowle, Whitchurch, Long Ashton, Clifton, Keynsham and Kingswood, plus surrounding areas across the city.

What is an EICR and do I need one?

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal safety inspection of the fixed wiring in a property. Landlords in England legally need a valid EICR at least every five years, and they are also recommended when buying or selling a home or if your installation is more than ten years old. We carry out EICRs for homeowners, landlords and businesses and provide the full report and certificate. Want more detail? Read our guide: what does an EICR stand for?

How much does it cost to replace a consumer unit or fuse board?

The cost depends on the size of the property, the number of circuits and whether any remedial work is needed to meet current regulations. We give a free, detailed, fixed quote before any work starts so there are no surprises.

Can you install an EV charger at my home?

Yes. We install home EV chargers for all the main brands, including the supply upgrade, cabling and certification. We will check your consumer unit and supply first and give you a free quote for a compliant installation.

Do you provide electrical safety certificates for landlords?

Yes. We provide landlord electrical safety certificates (EICRs) and any remedial work needed to bring a rental property up to standard, so you meet your legal obligations.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes, every quote is free and detailed. We set out exactly what is included and the fixed price before we start, so you know the cost up front.

Is your work insured and guaranteed?
