04 — Questions
Your questions before we arrive
What people in Nivelles ask before confirming.
Can the price quoted change once the electrician is on site?
The fault-finding fee does not change. The repair has a range that holds for the fault described; if the defect is elsewhere, say a damaged cable in a wall rather than a socket, the electrician shows you and states the new amount before continuing. You can stop at the diagnosis and pay only the fee. See the prices →
How quickly for an electrical fault?
A home entirely without power or a burning smell comes before planned appointments; the time is given on the phone. Meanwhile switch off the main breaker if anything is hot or smells. A dead circuit in a single room can often wait until the next working day, at the rate without surcharge. Request a quote →
What guarantee covers a new consumer unit or installation?
Equipment falls under the two-year legal conformity guarantee of Belgian law, plus the manufacturer's warranty. The labour guarantee is written on the invoice. An installation we brought into compliance that fails re-inspection on a point of our quote is corrected free of charge. See the prices →
Is VAT on electrical work 6 % or 21 %?
6 % for repairs, consumer unit replacement and compliance work in a private dwelling over 10 years old, invoiced to a private individual. 21 % for a newer home, business premises, and for the inspection by the approved body, which invoices separately. The rate appears on the invoice. Request a quote →
What should I prepare before the electrician's visit?
Clear access to the consumer unit and the meter, and find the inspection report or diagrams if they exist. A WhatsApp photo of the open unit and the report lets us prepare the right equipment and often refine the range before we come. See the prices →
Emergency call-out or appointment: which should I choose?
If something is hot or smoking, or the whole home is without power, it is an emergency: the evening or weekend surcharge is stated on the phone. If only one circuit is down and the rest works, a working-hours appointment costs the base rate; on the Belgian market an emergency hour is often double a daytime hour. Request a quote →
Fault finding and simple repair in Nivelles: how much does it cost?
The Belgian market in 2026 sits between €100 and €250 excluding VAT for fault finding and simple repair, night and weekend surcharges excluded. This is not our own rate card: your exact amount is announced on the phone before the technician leaves for Nivelles, and the invoice separates call-out, labour and parts. See the prices →

05 — Scope
What we do at your place
One technician comes to Nivelles, one itemised invoice.
An electrical fault in Nivelles rarely has a single possible cause. The RCD that trips may come from an appliance, a damp socket, a cable nicked by a screw or a defect in the consumer unit. Searching at random is expensive, so we charge fault-finding as a fixed fee, stated on the phone, and the repair separately, with its range. The electrician isolates the circuits one by one, identifies the defect and shows it to you. If the repair is simple, it is done in the same visit at the confirmed amount. If it requires opening a wall or ordering a part, you get the price before deciding. In Brabant wallon we work with the common equipment of the major brands available in Belgium, so the next replacement depends on nobody. Itemised invoice, VAT at 6 % or 21 % depending on the age of the home.
Consumer unit
Replacement of a fuse box or undersized unit, addition of 30 mA RCDs and circuits. Labelled unit, diagrams supplied, inspection by an approved body arranged.
RGIE compliance
After a failed report or before a sale: earthing, equipotential bonding, RCDs, sockets, diagrams. Quote point by point against the report, re-inspection prepared.
Sockets, switches, lighting
Replacement of fittings, new socket or lighting point, detector, dimmer. Limited chases made good, fittings from the brands common in Belgium.
Electrical renovation
Partial or complete rewiring of a flat or house, coordinated with our plasterers and painters. Quote per circuit and per room, power-cut schedule announced.
