Who we are
A proper local electrician, not a call centre
We started Blue Canon Electrical in a garage off the Ipswich Road with one van and a simple promise: do a tidy job, explain it in plain English and charge a fair price. Fifteen years later we are a team of six, still based in Colchester, and still answering the phone ourselves.
Every job is carried out to BS 7671 18th Edition standards and signed off with the paperwork your insurer, buyer or letting agent will ask for. If something is not safe, we will tell you straight, and we will always give you the option of fixing it in stages.
- Fixed, itemised quotes before any work starts
- Dust sheets down, everything cleared away afterwards
- Certificates issued and registered within 48 hours
- 12 month workmanship guarantee on everything we fit
What we do
Everything electrical, under one roof
Domestic, commercial and landlord work across Colchester, Wivenhoe, Tiptree, Marks Tey and the surrounding villages.
Fuse board upgrades
Old fuse boxes swapped for modern RCBO consumer units, giving you proper protection on every circuit and a cleaner board.
EICR safety testing
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for homeowners, landlords and businesses, with a clear summary of what actually needs doing.
Lighting design and fitting
Downlights, pendants, garden and security lighting, planned properly so the switching makes sense and the room feels right.
EV charger installation
OZEV-style home and workplace charge points installed, tested and commissioned, including load assessment and app setup.
Sockets, smart homes and repairs
Extra sockets, USB points, smart switches, faulty circuits traced and fixed, plus 24/7 emergency cover when the lights go out.
Who we work with
Homes, rentals and businesses
Homeowners
Extensions, kitchens, garden offices and the little jobs that have been on the list since last summer. One team, start to finish.
Landlords and agents
EICRs, remedials and alarm testing on a schedule that keeps your portfolio compliant, with reports emailed the same week.
Shops and offices
Shop fits, office lighting, three phase work and planned maintenance, scheduled around your opening hours so trade carries on.
Why Blue Canon
The bits customers tell us matter most

Certified and insured
NICEIC approved, Part P registered and covered by £5m public liability insurance on every single job.
No surprise pricing
A written quote before we lift a floorboard, and a call for approval before anything extra is ever added to it.
Local and reachable
Based in Colchester, so we are usually with you the same day, and you always speak to someone who knows the job.
Reviews
What Colchester says about us
★★★★★
Full rewire on a 1930s semi in Lexden. The lads were spotless, explained everything as they went and finished a day early. Certificates through before the weekend.

We use Blue Canon for EICRs across eleven rental properties. Reports are clear, remedials are priced sensibly and nothing ever drags on. Genuinely easy to deal with.

Lost power at 9pm on a Sunday with a freezer full of stock. Someone was out within the hour, found the fault and had us running again. Cannot fault them.
