Highlights
"Chae came to ours and installed two light switches. He did a great job very professional, efficient, and tidy. The work was done quickly and to a high standard, and everything works perfectly. He was friendly, reliable, and explained what he was doing. I’d happily recommend him and would definitely use him again!"
"I would like to thank CJ Electrical for the prompt attention to my shower problem. They were understanding and they acted quickly and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good reliable and exceptional group of people - thanks Dan. Thank you again."
"This is the third time we have used CJ Electrical. They performed an EICR and fault finding while replacing the consumer unit for our kitchen upgrade. They added new sockets including moving the cooker point and providing a new high power hob connection. As usual communication was very good, they were courteous, prompt, helpful and the work was completed to a high standard. I am happy to recommend and use them again for future projects."

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.
