You have a short list of practical fixes
Grouping a few ordinary jobs often makes more sense than booking them one by one, especially when the list is clear from the start.

Choose the right help for the job list
Willesden Smart Homes helps with grouped lights, sockets, switches, fans and contained repairs across NW London. NW10, NW2, NW6 and NW8 are priority districts, subject to an address, scope, access and availability check. See Areas covered .
Direct small fixes
Grouped electrical work with a clear scope
Fittings, existing-point accessories, fans, fused spurs and contained repairs when the work can be checked before booking.
Diagnosis firstElectrical fault finding
Tripping, dead points, repeated failures or unclear symptoms where testing should come before changing parts.
Registered responsibilityInspection, testing and paperwork questions
For work that needs electrical inspection, testing, certification or notification, we arrange the appropriate registered professional and confirm responsibilities before work starts.
Broader quoted workKitchen rewire and planned alterations
Use the dedicated page when a renovation layout, new circuits, first fix, second fix and a written quotation are the better fit.
Call first for unsafe symptoms. Heat, a burning smell, sparks, visible damage, repeated trips that will not reset or sudden unsafe power loss should not go through the routine form. Do not open covers or touch exposed wiring for photos. Call 020 3422 1659 .
Photos are optional. If a safe photo helps explain the job, avoid faces, paperwork, valuables, neighbour spaces and unrelated rooms. Private enquiry photos are not used for marketing without separate permission. Read the privacy notice .
Small electrical jobs usually covered
Start with the service that best matches the list. Each page explains the likely fit before a visit is agreed.
Lighting and fittings
Pendant swaps, downlight updates, dimmer issues and room-by-room fitting changes when the aim is a neater, better-working result.
Sockets, switches and accessories
Loose sockets, cracked plates, fused spurs, isolators and practical accessory swaps or upgrades on existing circuits.
Fans, hoods and minor repairs
Extractor fans, hood feeds, pull cords and one-off repair work when something small but useful has stopped working properly.
Electrical fault finding
Dead points, repeat failures and awkward symptoms where diagnosis comes before replacing parts.
If the real goal is easier day-to-day use rather than just replacing a failed point, start with accessible living and easier routines at home , night-time lighting routines or smart-home upgrades .
Before you book essentials
When small electrical jobs fit
These are the jobs that usually suit the general small-jobs page instead of a bigger quote or a more specialist page straight away.
One everyday point has failed
A light, switch, socket, fan or spur has stopped behaving properly and you want the simplest sensible next step.
You want a tidy follow-up after decorating or changing fittings
New fittings and freshly finished rooms often reveal crooked plates, tired accessories or one awkward point worth sorting properly.
You want a clear first check before the job grows
Sometimes the useful answer is what can stay small, what needs diagnosis first and what can wait.
Good fit examples include a few overdue accessories, a single failed fitting or switch, or a room refresh that needs tidy electrical finishing around it.
What happens next
We check the list first, confirm whether the work still fits a focused visit and explain any wider requirement before the scope changes.
-
Share the small-job list
A short list shows which points matter most and whether direct work or diagnosis is the sensible starting point.
-
Get the scope confirmed
We confirm whether the list looks like grouped small work, a contained repair, a diagnosis-first fault or broader quoted work.
-
Tidy visit, testing and handover
Where the agreed scope remains suitable, we work neatly, check the relevant points and explain anything that changes the next step.
How two common enquiries are scoped
These are planning patterns, not claims about a particular home or a promise that every repair can be completed in one visit.
Typical grouped small-job visit
A short list of overdue fixes
- Problem
- Several ordinary items need sorting: perhaps a loose socket, a failed light fitting and an awkward fan isolator.
- Work
- Group the sensible tasks into one visit, confirm likely parts from photos and keep the scope focused on local fixes that suit the home.
- Testing / safety
- Carry out the relevant checks on the finished points and say clearly if anything wider should be planned separately.
- Likely next step
- Confirm the focused list, or separate anything that needs diagnosis, ordered parts or a written quotation.
Typical one-point visit
One failed light, switch, socket or fan
- Problem
- One fixed point has stopped working properly, or behaves badly enough that it is affecting day-to-day use.
- Work
- Confirm whether it looks like a local repair or replacement, or whether diagnosis should come first before parts are changed.
- Testing / safety
- If the issue stays local, the point is checked before handover. If it looks wider, the next step is explained before the scope changes.
- Likely next step
- Proceed with the contained work where suitable, or explain the diagnosis-first plan before changing parts.
Pricing for small electrical jobs
The starting basis depends on the confirmed job, access, parts and whether testing shows a wider issue. A first-hour or visit price does not guarantee completion.
First hour and very-local exception
For an accepted job in our stated service area, £100 covers travel, attendance and up to the first 60 minutes on site for assessment, testing or agreed work. Further labour is £65 an hour, charged in 30-minute blocks of £32.50. The £50 exception is only for one simple, low-risk job in the very core of the Willesden Green area when the exact address and job details make the work clear before booking. It replaces the normal £100 first-hour price and covers attendance and the first 30 minutes on site. Further labour is £65 an hour in 30-minute blocks. If the job is different from the agreed details, we stop and confirm the revised price before continuing.
Included and ordered parts
Routine low-cost van-stock consumables needed for the agreed work are included. For work priced at £100 or more, one basic white socket or switch is also included when it is already carried, suitable for the existing point and listed in the confirmed scope. A socket or switch is not included in the £50 exception. Higher-cost, specialist, decorative or smart parts, and anything requiring a dedicated supplier visit or online order, are charged at their actual purchase and delivery cost. We do not add a material markup or charge for sourcing and collection time. Supply-and-fit and written quotations override the general parts rule by explicitly listing what they include.
Travel and access
Travel for accepted jobs throughout our stated service area is included. Unavoidable parking, permit or congestion charges are passed on at actual cost only and confirmed before booking. Fully furnished rooms can take longer when large bookshelves, solid-oak beds or other heavy furniture restrict safe access. We confirm any effect on time or price before booking.
Broader or uncertain work
Larger, multi-trade or uncertain-scope work may need a site assessment and must receive a written quotation before it is agreed.
If the issue looks wider, we explain that before the visit moves into fault finding or larger work. Compare electrical repairs , Electrical fault finding and Pricing & booking .
