Tripping circuits, sparking sockets, burning smells, full blackout. A NICEIC-registered electrician on your doorstep the same day, across Islington, Camden, Hackney and the rest of North London.
Lines open 7 days · No call-out fee · NICEIC registered
First Response is a small, family-run team of NICEIC-registered electricians based in Archway. We've been working on North London homes for eighteen years, and most of our work now comes through word of mouth and returning customers.
A rough cross-section of what we're called out to across North London - the problems people ring about, and what it usually takes to sort them.
Nothing complicated. A proper conversation, an honest price, and an engineer at the door.
Lines are open seven days a week. Tell us what's happening - we'll ask a few quick questions and tell you honestly whether it needs an engineer out today or can wait.
Before we come out we'll give you a realistic cost for the likely fix. No call-out fee, no vague estimates, no surprises on the invoice.
One of our own engineers turns up with a stocked van, completes the work, tests it under load, and issues the certificate before leaving.
If it sounds like your situation, we can almost certainly have it sorted today.
Sparks, burning smells, full blackout, tripping circuits that won't reset. Same-day call-out across North London, seven days a week.
