Our Story

A name London has trusted since 1999.

First Strike Electrical Ltd is a NICEIC Approved electrical contractor founded in Marylebone in 1999. For more than a quarter of a century we've worked across Central, North and West London — from Chelsea townhouses to Mayfair offices, Hampstead villas to Soho restaurants.

The business is led by Alex — a City & Guilds qualified electrician whose name appears on every review we've ever received. That's deliberate. When you call First Strike, you reach the person doing the work, not a call centre. We're transparent about our pricing, we work to BS 7671:2008, and we guarantee every job in writing.

Many of our clients are repeat customers. Some have been with us for over a decade. That doesn't happen by accident — it happens because we never overcharge, we always pick up the phone, and we leave every property safer than we found it.

Our Promise
£39
per 30 minutes · flat rate

Simple. Transparent. No surprises.

Most London electricians won't quote you over the phone. We will. Our flat rate is £39 every 30 minutes with a one-hour minimum callout — that's it. No hidden trip charges, no mystery line items, no inflation when we arrive.

"We will never overcharge our customers."

What London Says

Five stars. Five for five.

★★★★★

Alex was very professional, he figured out from the ground up how the flat worked without any previous blueprints to work from. He explained every detail to me and uncovered some helpful correctable issues to make the flat more efficient and effective. I will be using his services again and recommend my peers to do the same.
