79 Top Rated Electricians in Cambridgeshire for 2026

The list above ranks 79 electricians across Cambridgeshire by their Google reputation. Between them they hold 3,957 Google reviews with an average rating of 4.94 out of 5, and 64 of them are rated 4.8 or higher.

When many electricians score highly, the star rating alone will not separate them. The better questions are how many customers that rating rests on, whether the electrician does the kind of work you need, and whether they can certify the job once it is finished. A 4.9 from 200 customers tells you far more than a 5.0 from five.

A good way to use this page is to shortlist three electricians near you, check their registration and certificates, and ask all three for a written quote for the same job. The sections below explain what to look for at each step.

Based on Google reviews, the highest ranked electricians in Cambridgeshire are Impra Charge (5.0 from 265 reviews), MDS Electrical (5.0 from 217 reviews) and Marks Electrical Services Cambridge (5.0 from 199 reviews).

The 79 electricians listed here hold 3,957 Google reviews between them, with an average rating of 4.94 out of 5. 27 of them have 50 or more reviews, which gives a rating far more weight than a handful of five star reviews.

The services listed most often by electricians in Cambridgeshire are lighting (26 businesses), commercial electrical work (23 businesses), rewiring (21 businesses) and fault finding and repairs (20 businesses). Each profile shows that business's main services, taken from its own website.

Every electrician on this page is ranked by one score built only from their public Google reviews. The score starts from the average star rating and weights it by how many reviews it rests on, so a business with a handful of five star reviews does not jump ahead of one that has kept a high rating over hundreds of jobs. A small extra boost goes to businesses with more reviews overall.

Ratings and review counts are refreshed from Google across the whole site. Nobody can pay to move up the ranked list. Businesses marked as a Featured Partner appear in a separate, clearly labelled box above the list, and the ranked order below it is not changed.

Electrical work in homes in England has to meet Part P of the Building Regulations. Some jobs are notifiable, which means building control has to know about them. These are fitting a new consumer unit or fuse box, adding a complete new circuit, and altering circuits in the spaces around baths and showers. Most repairs, replacements and maintenance jobs are not notifiable.

The simplest way to stay on the right side of the rules is to use an electrician who belongs to a government authorised competent person scheme. The schemes for electrical work in homes are run by BESCA, Blue Flame Certification, Certsure (which runs NICEIC), NAPIT and OFTEC. Registered electricians can certify their own notifiable work, and you can check any of them on the Electrical Competent Person Register.

Before you agree to any work, check these points:

• Registration. Ask which scheme they belong to and look them up on the register.
• Certificates. After notifiable work you should get an Electrical Installation Certificate, or a Minor Works Certificate for a smaller alteration, and a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate, which the electrician arranges within 30 days.
• A written quote. A quote is a fixed price, while an estimate is only a best guess. A quoted price cannot be raised without a good reason, such as extra work you agreed to.
• Recent reviews. Read a few of the newest reviews as well as the overall score, and see how the business replies to any complaints.

If you use an electrician who is not registered, you have to tell your council's building control before notifiable work starts, which usually means paying their fees. Our guides to electrical certificates and Part P and choosing a local electrician cover this in more detail.

Landlords in Cambridgeshire have legal duties for electrical safety. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, a private landlord must have the electrics inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years. The report has to be given to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. Government guidance confirms the rules also apply to the social rented sector in England, and councils can fine landlords up to £40,000 for not complying.

The inspection produces an Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR. Our guide to EICR certificates explains the report and its observation codes.

Prices vary with the job, so a written quote is the only reliable figure. As a rough guide, national cost guides put electricians outside London at about £40 to £60 an hour, with some quoting up to £95 an hour including VAT. A standard call out fee is usually £60 to £120 and often includes the first hour. Emergency and out of hours call outs cost more, typically £120 to £350.

Prices rise over time and vary between firms, so treat these figures as a starting point and compare written quotes from two or three electricians. Our full guide to how much an electrician charges covers day rates, small job prices and fault finding.
