About Ben Sheppard Electrics
A qualified, NICEIC-registered electrician serving Bedminster and the surrounding Bristol areas — with more than a decade of domestic and commercial work behind us.
A small Bristol electrical contractor, doing things properly
Ben Sheppard Electrics is a hands-on electrical contractor working across Bedminster and Bristol. Over 10+ years we have completed more than 7,500 jobs for around 5,000 customers — everything from replacing a single faulty socket to rewiring a whole house from the meter out.
What has not changed in that time is how the work gets done. You speak to the electrician who will be in your home. The quote you are given is the price you pay. The work is carried out to BS 7671, tested properly and certified in writing.
A lot of what we do is repeat work or a recommendation from someone we have worked for before, which tells you more about how a trade operates than any advert can.
Qualified, registered and insured
Electrical work is one of the few things in a house where cutting a corner can genuinely hurt someone. Here is the paperwork behind ours.

NICEIC Domestic Installer
Assessed against the NICEIC scheme rules, which means notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations is self-certified and registered on your behalf.

City & Guilds qualified
Formally trained and qualified, working to the current edition of BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations.

TrustATrader member
Vetted and reviewed by customers on an independent platform, so you are not relying solely on what we say about ourselves.
What you can expect from us
Honest quoting
Itemised, written and no-obligation. If a job turns out to be simpler than expected, we say so.
Tidy working
Dust sheets down, chases cut neatly and filled, and everything cleared up at the end of each day.
Proper certification
An EIC, Minor Works Certificate or EICR on completion — whichever the job calls for.
Turning up
If we say we will be there, we will be. If something changes, you will hear from us rather than wonder.
What people say about working with us
Paraphrased from reviews left by customers across Bristol.
Ben is now the electrician I call for everything. Trustworthy, reliable and I would happily recommend him to anyone.
AronHomeowner, Bristol
Ben has done several different jobs for us over the past year or so and we have been really happy every time. It is great to have a reliable electrician to call on when you need one.
MarkRepeat customer
Ben handled a full rewire for us, plus the extra changes we asked for along the way. Communication was good before and during the two weeks he was with us, and we were happy to leave him with access to the house while we were away. Clearly knows his trade — we have already recommended him to friends.
