    Rewiring of whole property. Installation of new radiators. Installation of lights etc

    Posted 12 February

    Callum did a great job. Very competitive quote. Easy to communicate with, very helpful with advice. Overcame unforseen issues with ease. Worked late on multiple occasions to get the house ready on the previously agreed date. Would definitely recommend đź‘Ś

    External Power & Lighting

    Posted 29 January

    Having only recently moved into the area, we had no contacts at all within the various trades. We needed external power & lighting both front and back of the house. How delighted was I when we discovered that Avalon Electricals was just on our doorstep. A phone call brought Callum across for a viewing and we immediately warmed to him. He is so helpful and full of ideas so by the time he left, we had both front and back planned out. The quote seemed fair and a day/time agreed for him to start. He was prompt, polite, efficient and clean & tidy throughout. FULLY RECOMMENDED

    Found and repaired cause of loss of power

    Posted 13 March 2024

    Callum promptly came when we had a loss of power, quickly found the fault and fixed it. He also gave us advice on some other electrical matters. He was friendly and courteous and patiently explained what he was doing. We would highly recommend him.

    Fitting new consumer units to replace old fuse boxes, installation of earth rod and gas meter earthed.

    Posted 03 March 2024

    Callum came round within 2 hours of the request to inspect the work required. I instantly felt he was the right man for the job, esp with his experience of working in old properties. He installed the new unit efficiently, but on running tests, discovered cross-wiring of lighting and sockets had occurred in the past. Locating the faulty junction boxes was problematic but Callum persevered cheerfully. He cleared up well and despite having had to spend longer on the job, didn't charge more than the quote. He was pleasant, helpful and respectful throughout. I can thoroughly recommend him.

Hello, my name is Callum Child (Rewire Specialist) and I live in Burtle, near Glastonbury and Bridgwater, and I am Avalon Electricals.

I started my business in January 2019 after 8 years of full-time employment with a successful local electrical company called Wessex Electricals in Shaftesbury Dorset. I am a fully qualified NICEIC & Part P Electrician after completing a City&Guilds apprenticeship, during which I was successful in the National Sparks Apprentice of the Year Competition.

I have Testing and Inspecting Qualifications with lots of experience and regularly complete:


  • Full electrical rewires.
  • Electrical safety checks.
  • Electrical Installation Condition Reports EICR.
  • Replacement Fuseboards


I specialise in domestic house rewires. With my team behind me we can meet amazing timeframes and targets, meaning much less disruption and downtime for my customers and still delivering fantastic results. From preparing the house with furniture moving, sheeting and floor protection, to fully plastering everything back in, we love to do rewires! With many years’ experience performing electrical safety test and inspections on housing contracts, we aim to deliver here too. A full EICR electrical installation condition report is produced and sent to you soon after the testing is complete, with recommendations for improvements such as replacement fuseboards which we also specialise in. I take great pride in my work striving to do that bit extra to achieve a really high standard, alongside good health and safety. My customers are really important to me and I enjoy working for them.
