Meet your local electrician
Family-minded, fully accredited and proud to serve the community we live in. This is the story behind Brightwell Electrical.
Built on craftsmanship and trust
Brightwell Electrical was founded in 2009 by Daniel Brightwell, a time-served electrician who grew up in Romford and still lives in the borough today. After years working for larger contractors, Daniel set out to build something different — an electrical business that treats every customer’s home with the same care he’d give his own.
What started as a one-man operation has grown into a small, hand-picked team of qualified electricians — but the founding principles haven’t changed. We’re big enough to handle full rewires and commercial contracts, yet small enough that you’ll always deal with people who know your name and your job.
Today we’re proud to be one of the most highly-rated electricians in Havering, with a 4.9-star average from over 217 reviews and thousands of jobs completed across Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster and beyond.
“We’d rather do one job brilliantly than three jobs badly. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, every single day.” — Daniel Brightwell, Founder
The values behind every job
Honesty first
We tell you what you actually need — not what makes us the most money. If a repair will do, we won’t sell you a rewire.
Pride in the work
Neat cabling, tidy finishes and a spotless clean-up. The details are what separate a good job from a great one.
Respect for your time
We turn up when we say we will, keep you informed, and work efficiently around your day.
Safety, always
Every job is done to 18th Edition standards and properly certified. No shortcuts where safety is concerned.
Accreditations you can rely on
Anyone can call themselves an electrician — being properly qualified and accredited is what counts. Our work is carried out and signed off by engineers holding the qualifications and approvals that genuinely matter, so you can have complete confidence in the result.

Don’t just take our word for it
Booked Brightwell to fit a 7kW charger and they sorted the whole grant claim for me. Tidy, on time and explained everything. The app setup was done before they left. Couldn’t fault them.
Full rewire on a lived-in house. They protected the carpets, cleaned up every day and the making-good was spot on. Certificate came through two days later. Genuinely premium service.
Had the whole ground floor fitted with downlights and some extra sockets. The finish is immaculate — you’d never know walls had been chased. Polite, careful and great value.
