At Glenfield Electrical our mission is to provide a world class service and brighten up everyone’s day, so much so that our customers and our team members recommend us to all of their family and friends.

Glenfield Electrical was created in 2013 by Philip and Catherine Houlder to help people solve electrical problems at home and in the workplace. Operating in Leicester and throughout the Midlands, we are a member of NICEIC, the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting.

Our electrical work is Guaranteed for 1 Year and is further backed by a 6 Year Insurance Warranty. Everything is carried out to BS 7671 IEE regulations. And, you can always rely on our highly trained, friendly electricians to give you a high-quality service at a fair price.

To give back to the local community, we employ local people and support local charities. We also currently employ seven apprentices. Young people are the future of any business and bring a breath of fresh air.

Work as a team

Work as a team

We believe in working together and fostering a family spirit. Driven, dedicated and determined, we never forget our goals. And we’re not afraid to mix it up and try new things. Sometimes it’s good to step out of your comfort zone. We like to create some fun and a little weirdness.

Embrace change

Embrace change

Our industry is always changing so it’s vital to stay ahead of the game. As a business, we too are constantly developing and growing. Nothing in life stays the same so it’s important to embrace change. Be flexible and open to new ideas.

Give support

Give support

Working well together means supporting each other. Openness builds trust and understanding – not just within the team but with the people we work for. Customers respect our honesty. They know they can rely on us. And we’re always happy to go the extra mile.

Take pride

Take pride

Our electricians take great pride in their work. They know that if a job’s worth doing then it’s worth doing well. They also get why customers want happy, smiling contractors. Technical know-how is essential but so is giving a friendly, reliable service. That’s why we only want good vibes!

What Our Clients Think

Quotemark Glenfield Electrical have been a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. I called at 4.30 on a Friday having been let down by someone recommended personally. Shaun visited to quote at 4pm on Tuesday, I had a written quote by 5.30pm. He returned Thursday to complete the work. The price was very reasonable too. Would not hesitate to use them again.
Mr Ian Nicholson, Loughborough, Leicester

Quotemark Brilliant from start to finish! The quote was very professionally done and gave a really clear breakdown of the work and costs involved. They were very friendly to deal with and answer any questions we had along the way. We are really pleased with the work they did and I would 100% recommend them and would definitely use them again in the future.
Miss Abigail Tomlinson, Leicester
Quotemark I had a fault on a lighting circuit which I couldn't resolve. Glenfield Electrical attended within 24 hours, arrived on time and Lewis, their electrician, identified and repaired the fault within 30 minutes. A fast, friendly and efficient service!
Customer, Leicestershire, February 2019
Quotemark Phil and his team were extremely helpful, polite and managed to complete the rewire in time for the moving date, despite issues created by the age of the house and how electrics had been installed by other electricians in the past. They tidied up after themselves and did as much as they could to help us so that the family could move into a home, meeting new electrical requirements. Would definitely recommend them.

Quotemark A very nice and tidy job done by Rhys from Glenfield Electrical. I Will hire again if I have any more electrical jobs that need doing. Thank you so much!
