Electrician in Colchester.

Britain's oldest recorded town, with electrical installs spanning Victorian terraces around the centre to new-build estates at Stanway and beyond.

Local electrical work, done properly

We cover Colchester and the surrounding area, including Lexden, Mile End, Severalls, Greenstead, Old Heath, Stanway, and out to Wivenhoe and Tiptree, on a regular basis. Colchester covers a wide mix of housing: pre-war terraces near the centre, post-war semis around Greenstead, and modern estates out by Stanway and Severalls. Each tends to throw up its own electrical quirks. Most non-emergency jobs can be on-site within 24 to 48 hours. Emergency callout is available any time if the job is pressing. Full rewires of the Victorian terraces near the town centre and EV charger installs on the newer estate driveways are both a regular part of our Colchester workload.

I called CG Electrical in to complete the installation of a shower and was so happy with what they did, I have since had them back to change my fuse board and completely rewire a large extension for me. I found Connor to be so helpful and the quality of work was second to none, the price was exactly as quoted on every occasion and everything was left clean and tidy.... Connor even hoovered the carpets before leaving every day! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Connor and CG Electrical to anyone and they are certainly our go to for all our future electrical work. Highly recommended!!

After having some concerns about quality of the electrical installation to my sheds, I contacted CG Electrical who then sent out an Electrician to me to have a look. He inspected everything and subsequently told me it was unsafe. He talked me through everything that was wrong with it and put it into layman's terms for me so I could clearly understand what the issues were and everything he said made perfect sense. The inspection and quote was no fee and no obligation and as soon as everything was agreed the electrician was back as soon as possible to suit me to get the work done. The work itself went above and beyond my expectations despite him being aware that it was only a shed and I wasn't too fussed on how it looked. The price was definitely more than fair, especially for the job undertaken. Overall, I have no complaints whatsoever and will definitely be contacting CG Electrical with any further electrical needs. Can not recommend these guys enough.
