Located to the west of Bristol city centre, the suburb of Clifton is one of the city’s most distinctive and historic areas, with a rich heritage and vibrant community. The area appears in the Domesday Book under the name Clistone, meaning “hillside settlement”, reflecting its elevated terrain and views over the Avon Gorge.
Clifton’s boundaries are informal, but generally the name applies to the high ground stretching from Whiteladies Road in the east to the rim of the Avon Gorge in the west, and from the open spaces of Clifton Down and Durdham Down in the north down towards Cornwallis Crescent in the south.
The area is home to impressive Georgian and Victorian architecture, tree‑lined squares, and a mix of residential and commercial life. Some of the key landmarks include the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge, which spans the Avon Gorge and links Clifton to North Somerset. The open green spaces of Clifton Down also give the area a strong sense of community and outdoor life.
Today, Clifton is a sought‑after place to live and work – with family homes, professionals working remotely, and vibrant local amenities such as cafés, specialist shops, and independent businesses. It’s the kind of place where you value reliability, quality and local service.
If you live or run a home or business in Clifton, you’ll want a trustworthy, local electrician who understands the character of the area and the needs of its residents. That’s where I come in.
At Fairway Electrical Bristol we specialise in domestic and small‑business electrical work across Clifton and the surrounding areas. Whether your job is big or small, routine or urgent, our focus is on quality, clarity and reliability. Here’s what we offer:
Don’t let a minor issue become a major hassle. If you need a new socket, light fitting or switch‑upgrade, we’re your local electrician in Clifton who turns up on time, works tidily and leaves your home or business ready to go.
If you’re facing tripping circuits, power cuts, flickering lights or elusive faults… that’s exactly our core speciality. Our fault‑finding service zones in on the root cause rather than just a temporary fix.
Electrical problems don’t always wait till 9 to 5. We provide emergency call‑out service for urgent concerns – ensuring peace of mind when things go wrong.
Older properties in Clifton often require full or part rewires and upgraded consumer units for safety and efficiency. We handle rewires, consumer‑unit upgrades and make sure everything is to modern standard.
Bathrooms, kitchens and other rooms require proper extraction and ventilation. We install high‑quality extractor fans, ensure correct wiring and make sure you meet regulation.
Whether you’re a landlord, homeowner or business owner, I carry out full Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) to assess, certify and keep you compliant and safe.
In all our work we emphasise professional, reliable service for homes and businesses in Clifton – delivered locally, with no jargon and no hidden surprises.
