Highlights
"Rental light and sockets needed fixing. Ashley had fantastic communication and was really reliable."
"I highly recommend AKM, very helpful throughout. I had an EICR done on a property I was buying and Ash talked me through the process and managed to get into the property the next day. He helpfully provided quotes for work to rectify defects. I would definitely use again."
"We have wanted to electrify our patio and back garden area for some time, but did not know what was needed or where to start. AKM Electrical listened to our needs, answered multiple questions and made great suggestions. The service received was amazing, they were on time, stuck to the timelines shared, certificates and assurances in place = one very happy family. Their pricing is fair and reasonable, as we did our due diligence, and they went beyond the initial quoted work to do some extras, without issues. We highly recommend AKM Electrical and thank them for the great work done"

Smart checks
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.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
