Finding a good electrician in Lagos is harder than it should be. You call a number off a gate, they show up late, quote you triple the real price, and disappear before the job is properly done.
This guide helps you find verified electricians in Lekki and Ikeja, two of Lagos's most densely populated areas for home services demand.
What to look for in an electrician
Certification matters. A qualified electrician should have training from a recognised trade school or NEPA/EKEDC certification. Ask to see credentials.
Check for insurance. For major electrical work such as rewiring, distribution board upgrades, and generator installations, insurance protects you if something goes wrong.
Get a written quote. Verbal quotes lead to disputes. A professional electrician gives you a written breakdown before touching a wire.
