I can’t recommend 786 Electricals Ltd enough. It is always such a relief to find a reliable team right here on your doorstep. Sometimes you worry you'll end up with an electrician from way outside the area, but it’s so much better having someone local in Leicester and Leicestershire. They are definitely our "go-to" local electricians now and it's great to know there's someone "near me" that I can actually trust for future work.
We first used them for an emergency service call-out, which was a total lifesaver. It cost £75, and I was seriously impressed that the problem was fully diagnosed and resolved within the first hour. It’s rare to find someone who shows up exactly when they say they will and gets straight to the point.
Since that first visit, we’ve had them back for several larger projects across the house. They recently handled our Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for £180, which was incredibly thorough and gave us real peace of mind. We also went ahead with a consumer unit upgrade for £750; the quality of the installation was worth every penny—neat, modern, and fully up to code.
Beyond the big stuff, they’ve also helped with general electrical inspection, testing, and various fault-finding tasks in the past. Every single time, the team has been professional, tidy, and easy to deal with. We are very much happy with the service and will definitely be recommending them to everyone in the Leicester area for any electrical works!

Thank you so much for this detailed review! It is a pleasure to be your go-to local electrician in Leicester.
At 786 Electricals Ltd, we believe in a 'Safety-First' philosophy. While we don't aim to be the cheapest or compete on price alone, we are committed to being the most transparent and fair-priced Electrical Contractor in Leicestershire. We find that our clients—often busy professionals, doctors, and lecturers who value their time—appreciate our efficiency. Where an unregistered or inexperienced person might take three hours to diagnose a fault, our 18 years of experience allows us to resolve issues safely, often within our initial £75/hour call-out fee.
We often see 'bargain' rates in the industry, but as a NAPIT member (14212) since 2010 and a TrustMark registered firm, we know that true value comes from doing the job right the first time. Our advice is based entirely on what we find 'on the ground'—from the physical condition of your wiring to the technical readings during an EICR (starting from £140). Sometimes that means a simple repair; other times, it necessitates a Consumer Unit replacement (starting around £750 for an SPD/RCBO board) to bring a property up to modern safety standards.
We provide a stress-free, professional service for those who need an electrician they can actually reach on the phone and who shows up exactly when promised. We don't just 'fit parts'; we evaluate who installed the system previously and how it has been maintained to provide a bespoke safety plan for your property.
Our credentials, ID, and insurance are all public on our website because we have nothing to hide. We are here to provide high-level expertise and build lasting relationships with the Leicester community. Whether you need a full upgrade or just some honest, free advice on your installation, we are always here to help.
Best regards,
