Really pleased — turned up when they said, explained the options and cleaned up afterwards. Payment only released once I was happy.

Hiring in Bristol: what to know
What affects electricians prices in Bristol
Access, parking and the age of the property are the biggest cost drivers in Bristol. Jobs in Clifton and Bedminster often involve older stock, so allow contingency for hidden repairs. Materials and waste removal are usually quoted separately.
Permits and local rules
Work affecting structure, drainage or the exterior of a property in Bristol can need building control sign-off, and skips or scaffolding on the highway need a council permit. Verified pros on Tradzigo arrange these as part of the job and list them on the quote.
Best time to book in Bristol
Demand across BS, BA peaks in spring and just before Christmas. Booking two to three weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of electricians; emergency slots are available year-round for urgent work.
