Electrical work for homes and businesses across Kent. Clear prices, tidy work and one family firm from quote to invoice.
A dodgy socket or a full rewire, same standards either way, and we clean up after ourselves. Pick a job to see what it usually costs.
Burning smell, smoke or sparks? Ring 999 first, then us on 07840 429873.
Breakers that trip, dead sockets, flickering lights. We find it, not guess.
Takes a minute. Within 24 hours means you hear back from us with a price or a next step. Quote visits are usually Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. No obligation, and nobody turns up unless you say so.
Every photo is ours, from jobs we have done. Tidy cables, level fittings, nothing left behind.

“After our house nearly caught fire, smoke and sizzling/crackling noises coming out of our electricity box. I made a late night call 11/11.30pm to Louis, and he was at my house within half an hour. Amazing fast service, and very professional. He wouldn't leave until he was 100% sure we were safe.”
“Superb job by team Lanaway. My request was attended to within 12 hours. More importantly, the job was completed with no fuss & with the utmost professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.”
“Louis has done a few little jobs for us like replacing plugs and lights as well as rewiring of our entire house. Our 1930’s house still had the original wiring so was quite a big job!! Work was completed promptly and safely and he helped tidy any mess made.”
“We used Louis based on the work he had done for my daughter, and had the same experience. We had sockets moved and new ones added in preparation for a media wall…”
“Lanaway Electrical completely rewired my garage electrics to convert it into a home office, including the installation of an Ethernet cable for internet access. Louis and his team were always friendly, professional, and very efficient…”
“He quoted us a very reasonable price for multiple different jobs that would take the whole day. He arrived when he said he would and my partner is extremely happy with the work he has done and he tidies up after himself too. We asked him to come back to do other jobs and he stayed very late to get it finished.”
“If u need a company that works hard and are proud of their work then use this company ! I have a grade 2 listed flat with higher ceilings but didnt really know how to compliment the space . Louis designed and fitted my new lights- one word wow!”
“You guys were amazing! So prompt with attending to my request. Very efficient and were great with being able to work around me and my kids. My boys are Autistic and hate loud noises and your guys were so thoughtful…”
“Very quick and prompt to assist while quoting us an affordable price. The work was completed to a high standard, while also making efforts to go out his way to fix our switch that was incorrectly wired. Highly recommend from a family home that requires trustworthy professionals.”
“I rang in a bit of a panic about a problem and Louis talked it through, asked for pictures on WhatsApp and recommended a part to get, all done and sorted within the hour. As a women on my own it was a huge relief and great help. Will definitely be using again.”
“Best electrical service around! We had an amazing experience from Louis. He showed real care for our home from start to finish and we wouldn’t go with anyone else!”
“Absolutely brilliant service! Louis is professional, friendly, kind and an honest tradesman! He’s very talented at his job and he’s quick!”
“Business owner came to help me put up a clothing rail on my son’s wall & take down a TV bracket & didn’t even charge. He did an amazing job. Was also very cheerful even though he’d just done a days work.”
“Lanaway fixed my broken wall socket, super friendly and efficient, a great price and really nice chap. Thankyou”
“Had some work done when we moved into our new house, very reliable. Would highly recommend.”
“They were very polite and super quick, identifying and solving our issue on the same morning we called! I highly recommend them!”
“Grateful for the quick service, would recommend to everyone out there.”
Lanaway Electrical is not a call centre with a van full of subcontractors behind it. It is Louis and his lad Finley. The man who prices your job is the man you deal with start to finish, and you have his mobile number.
Written down, no hidden extras, and it is the number on the invoice.
Put yourself in the diary at eleven at night if that is when you get five minutes. We confirm when we can be there.
Ring us and we will sort it. You should not have to chase an electrician twice.
Dust sheets down, mess cleared, and the job left how you would want your own house left.

Not sure what's going on with your electrics? Ask us here. We will help you work out what the problem is, what it usually costs, and whether it can wait.
The things people ring and ask before they book.
Louis prices every job himself and is out on jobs Monday to Friday, so quote visits are usually Friday evenings or Saturday mornings. Send the booking whenever suits you and you will get a straight answer on when we can get to you.
Yes, for homes and businesses across Kent. Most come in from £750, but that depends on where your consumer unit is and how far the cable has to run, so someone needs to look at it before you get a real number.
If you can smell burning, see smoke or sparks, or anyone has had a shock, ring 999 first. Then switch it off at the fuse box if you can reach it safely, and ring us on 07840 429873. For anything less urgent, a breaker that keeps tripping or a dead socket, send the booking through whatever the hour and ring us as well if it cannot wait. We are a small family firm rather than a 24 hour callout company, so we will tell you straight away how soon we can be there.
