Years in the trade
Started with a Van and a Toolkit
I started Capital Electrician in 2010 after spending years working for other companies and thinking "I can do this better." Not flashier. Not cheaper. Just more reliable.
The idea was simple. Turn up when you say you will. Do the job properly. Leave the place tidy. Issue the right certificates. Charge what you quoted. That was it.
Fifteen years later, that is still how we work. The team has grown from just me to three qualified engineers, but the approach has not changed. We have wired over 5,000 homes, landlord properties, and commercial spaces across Greater London.
We are not the cheapest and we do not pretend to be. But we are the ones your neighbour recommends.

How We Got Here
No overnight success story. Just steady growth built on doing good work.
Started Out
I picked up my first set of tools and started taking on domestic jobs across West London. Just me, a van, and a phone that never stopped ringing.
First Employee
Brought Mo on board after we had more work than one person could handle. Started taking on landlord contracts and letting agent work.
Commercial Work
Expanded into commercial electrical for offices, restaurants, and retail spaces. Built a reputation for clean, compliant work.
Greater London Coverage
Grew the team to cover all Greater London boroughs. Invested in new equipment, training, and a proper booking system.
Where We Are Now
A tight team of three qualified engineers. Over 5,000 jobs completed. Still doing things the same way: on time, tidy, properly certified.
