A few words about me

Kevin Gravill is a local Electrician based in Barton upon Humber, I serve the local towns and villages. I am proud to be registered with the NICEIC and am able to self certify my work and notify building control authority of work carried out where required. I started in the industry at 16 years of age and served a full apprenticeship and have over 35 years experience in the electrical industry in both Domestic and commercial sectors.

Most of the work I carry out is in and around the home. Anything from fitting new lights / sockets, Extra circuits, New consumer units. I tend not to carry out the larger installs anymore, so I'm happy to take on your small jobs that others don't like to do. The list can go on, so whatever your requirements hopefully I can help in some way.Just give me a call on 07864 852586 and I can arrange a time to call and discuss your needs.

A little about what I do

Prices start from £40.00 per hour, I have no hidden costs and am not VAT registered.

Most of my work comes from you. The home owner.
Many of you think its hard to get tradesmen to come out to quote or to do small jobs. I understand a job is a job. I understand that something that has been bothering you for a long time might sound a trivial job to you, but I am happy to come out to do any job for you large or small.

Call out charge of £40.00 + £40.00 for the first hour (so a minimum cost of £80.00).A call out is classed as if you need me to attend straight away, the charge relates to the fact that other work may have to be cancelled or put back due to the call out. This cost does not apply to work which has been booked in for specific day / time in my schedule.

EICR - Electrical installation condition report. This is now required for any one renting their house out and are generally carried out every 5 years. Prices start from £125.00 for a 1 bedroom property to £175.00 for a standard style 2-3 bedroom house. The cost relates to approx half of the day at the property carrying out a thorough inspection and test to get the most detailed picture of the installation as possible, and then time away from the property compiling the report. The EICR does not include any repairs to the installation, its an inspection report on its condition in line with the current version of BS7671. I have professional indemnity insurance and relevant experience (30+years) of working within domestic premises, qualifications for testing and again extensive experience testing properties. I have decided not to enrol on the PRS scheme register, but still happy to carry out your EICR.

Please note any payment in cash up to £1000.00 will incur a £3.00 Charge. Any cash payment over £1000.00 will incur a 0.3% charge. These are in line with my banks requirement.

I don't charge for quotes.

So next time you need a switch changing, new sockets for new kitchen or a rewire, feel free to contact me.
Sorry I do not carry out PAT testing.
Sorry I do not install security alarms, look for a SSAIB registered installer for your own piece of mind and insurance protection.

Give me a Call, Email, Text, WhatsApp or whichever media you wish.
What ever your electrical needs the first thing to do is to contact me. Ask me to carry out your work to find a happy polite electrician, carrying out work to a high standard. Once finished I like to make sure your house is clean and tidy. No payments upfront. Once you are happy with the work, you will receive an invoice, test certificate

Customer Service.
I like to think I give good service, just read some customer reviews!
I like to keep you informed, so if I arrange to come on Thursday at 2pm I like to make sure I make it, if not I make sure I give you a call. There is nothing worse than to wait in for a tradesman who then does not turn up !

After care.
Just because I have finished your work doesn't mean I stop caring. If there is anything you need to change or something has stopped working. Just give me another call and I will pop round to see you and have a chat. Again I find lesser contractors do shabby work and when you need them, they decide they don't want to speak to you. Again I like my customers, so like to think nothing is too much trouble, it all starts with talking!

About Quotes
When I arrive to give you a quote or a chat about what you need. I have to assess a few things around your home that are required for me to do the work.
I have to check the existing earthing arrangements to make sure it is classed as safe. I will look at where your electricity meters are, your Gas intake position and also your Water intake position. I have to check to see if there is an Earth Bonding Conductor present and at the correct size.
I also have to check your consumer unit (fusebox) most of any new work within your house will need to have an RCD for additional protection.
If after assessing your existing electrical installation to find that these things are not present, I will advise you as to their importance and that it is a requirement for works to proceed.
Another problem I come across is lack of CPC (the circuit protective conductor within the cable) at lighting points in older properties.
I would not be able to install a metal (class I) light fitting in this instance. I would then advise you to look into a remedy to this problem.

New Consumer units (now metal complete with RCBO and Surge protection)
Extra Sockets.
Recessed down lights.
LED lighting.
Outdoor electrics.
Showers.
Extra lighting.
Cooker oven elements. From £60 supplied and fitted.
Electrical Condition Reports. Prices are stated above.
Fault Finding.
Nest & Hive smart heating controls and smart lighting. From £85 not supplied.
Many many more, just ask.

Customer reviews

Kevin has completed several jobs for us recently, Prior to using Kevin we had two previous electricians we thought were good, but Kevin has definitely surpassed their quality of work. He is always prompt to attend, both to assess and carry out the work. He is very well organised , and neat with high standards and works methodically. Another refreshing feature with Kevin is the fact that he is prompt with providing a professional detailed written description of the work he has carried out with an invoice and his charges seem to be fair and not excessive. With other electricians this documentation and breakdown of work, is not always forthcoming, and has to be chased after vigorously. I wish we had found Kevin many years ago.
Customer review from Mr Tooke, Hibaldstow. • June 2018.

Thank you so much, just sat down and realised I hadn't thanked you for all your hard work, we had hot food last night and hot drinks from the kitchen and not the bedroom, now looking forward to having sink and washing machine working!!!!! Thank you again. We really appreciate the work done.
