Highlights

"Alec was recommended by a neighbour as well as Which? Local and, as described, was prompt, pleasant and very helpful. As usual, the 'small quick jobs' of moving sockets, correcting somebody else's previous poor workmanship, updating light switches etc revealed some problems but Alec and his apprentice still did a quick, neat and reasonably priced job. We have already asked him to quote for some other work!"

Alec came recommended to me by my neighbour and I have been very impressed with all the work he has done for me. He replaced ceiling lights in my bedroom and garage, and also found the issue with our dimmer switch and repaired it. He was very prompt and I had no issues with him at all. I have recommeded him to my son and would to anyone.

I use A C Electrical regularly for electrical repairs and refurbishments on my properties. I always have them back because they always do such a great job. I would recommend them to anyone.

Russ, Maidstone5.0 / 5

We recently moved house and needed/need quite a few electrical jobs doing. Alec has always turned up when he said he will, done a first rate job and always tidies up after himself. He's a great bloke, goes that extra mile to make the job right. I trust his judgement on the best way forward and his fault finding skills are brilliant, he will not give up until he finds out what's wrong. Kind of handy when you're dealing with electrical issues!

And Mr Hollands5.0 / 5

The most recent job undertaken was to replace some ancient spots in the bathroom ceiling. Advice was given and accepted and we now have low power spots giving much better lighting. The work was carried out in a tidy and efficient manner, and very promptly. I thoroughly recommend AC Electrical.

Alec was prompt to respond to my initial enquiry. He, and his team, were tidy and prompt. Alec was honest about the work that needed doing, not pushy for work that wasn't necessary. He worked quickly and thoroughly, and dealt with a problem swiftly. His pricing was very competitive. Would definitely use again.

We had AC Electrical at home to investigate why we couldn't switch electricity on in the kitchen. Investigation took a couple of house and he came back a few days later to fix the issue. We agreed on a "route" for the cable to go through. He managed to follow the route through wood floor and walls with minimum damage. Holes had to be made but he repaired them before leaving. It was not the easiest way but did it discrete as agreed. Patient!

I sent Alec an email with my potential electrical problem and he got back to me very quickly. He quoted me a reasonable price and we fixed a date for him to do the work. He arrived on time with his mate. Both were very amiable and polite. They explained what they would do and how long it would take. They set about the task and completed it on time. They cleared up after themselves, left me the report, and emailed an invoice the next working day. My first impression was that they were professionals ready to do a good job and at the end of the job that is exactly what they did. Great guys, I recommend them highly.

Alec and Anthony are among the best tradesmen we have met in the last 20 years. They are excellent timekeepers and are so determined to get on with the job that they nearly go without meals! The work started on the day it was planned and concluded on time. They both work very well as a team and as electricians work to a very high safety standard. They are very up to date with their knowledge and even get excited to get a chance to install the very latest equipment! They are good listeners and are most obliging, being able to add or change according to the customer’s needs. In these days when every penny counts Alec and Anthony are prepared to do a First Class job for you, and still leave money in your pocket. We are about to move into our new home and meeting A C Electric (South) Ltd was one of the best things that happened for us. So if you are looking for the winning team - go for these two tradesmen.

Alec and his colleague replaced our fuseboard recently. They did a great job, worked extremely hard, explaining everything very clearly and making the process as smooth as possible. We were very impressed with how professional, polite and considerate they both were. Alec's pricing was clear and competitive. We would definitely recommend them.

Excellent communication about what work needed to be done, cost, arranging appointments and updating any changes. Work is completed cleanly and professionally respecting the property. I particularly liked Alec's problem solving approach attempting to save additional unnecessary costs. Both Alec and Anthony are polite and pleasant and hard working. They are the preferred electrician for the local rental agents too which is a reassuring

We have used Alec many times for jobs both large and small. We have found him to be professional in his approach from start to finish, from analysing the problem to providing an estimate to turning up punctually on the agreed date and completing the work to a high standard. He is unfailingly polite as is his assistant. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alec and team.

Before you hire an electrician

In England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations — confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done — it is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
