Got one of those jobs?

You know the ones.

Some electrical jobs are too small for many electricians to be interested in, but they're not necessarily jobs you want to tackle yourself.

That's exactly the sort of job Electric Ols is here for.

Let's get it off your list.

Hi, I'm Ollie.

I've lived in Lindfield my whole life and I've been working in the electrical trade for six years.

Apparently my interest started considerably earlier than that.

Apparently it started early.

I've had a fascination with plugs and cables since I was a toddler, which apparently kept my parents on their toes!

These days I work alongside experienced electricians on everything from rewires and EV chargers to lighting schemes, fault finding and electrical upgrades.

I've worked on houses, office refurbishments, barn conversions, gardens and outbuildings around Mid Sussex, as well as projects in central London.

I've completed my City & Guilds Level 2 and Level 3 electrical qualifications and I'm currently working alongside two electricians, continuing to build my portfolio and experience as I work towards my AM2 assessment.

Alongside this, I'm building Electric Ols to help local homeowners with the smaller electrical jobs that can sometimes be surprisingly difficult to get someone to come and sort.

I'm reliable, flexible and I'll always be straightforward about whether a job is something I can help you with.

If you've got something that's been sitting on your to-do list, send me a message.

Why Electric Ols?

Small jobs are welcome.

You don't need a house that needs rewiring before you can call an electrician. One broken socket is still worth fixing.

I'll turn up.

If we've agreed a time, I'll be there. And if something changes, I'll tell you.

I'll be straight with you.

If something isn't within my current experience or scope, I'll tell you.

I'll look for the sensible solution.

Sometimes something can be repaired or upgraded without replacing everything.

I'm local.

I've lived in Lindfield my whole life and work throughout Lindfield, Haywards Heath and the surrounding villages.

£5 million insured.

Electric Ols carries £5 million Public Liability Insurance.

A few jobs I've already ticked off the list.

01Lighting upgrade

From halogen to LED

Upgrade rather than replace.

A customer wanted to replace inefficient downstairs halogen lighting.

Rather than unnecessarily replacing the existing fittings, I upgraded the lighting to LED while retaining what was already there.

Better efficiency. Sensible solution. Lower cost.

02Garden lighting + power

Ready for the wedding

Rodents had damaged cabling supplying lighting across a large decking area which needed repairing before a wedding at the property.

I repaired and upgraded the lighting and added additional power, getting everything working and ready in time for the big day.

The man cave

A newly built garden workshop needed power and lighting installed around how the owner actually wanted to use the space.

I completed the electrical fit-out to the customer's requirements, turning an empty building into a properly usable space.

  • Ollie had to do a significant amount of wiring in my house, including putting in electrical components. Ollie was efficient, methodical, very easy to talk to about the issues. I would have no qualms in recommending him to others. He has already done some work for two of my friends and I know they were very happy.
