"I contacted Jim to arrange an urgent electrical safety check of a property that I was purchasing and he came and performed a full EICR within 2 days. Was really helpful in explaining the results of the survey over the phone and sent a thorough email with photos and was happy to be contacted for other questions or issues. Came back and rechecked the work once it was repaired. Would highly recommend their services and would definitely go back to them for any electrical work."

Jim and Ryan did a full house survey for us and quoted a full re wire that was extremely competitive. Even while completomg the work it was never an issue to add extra items. We have been extremely pleased with the work carried out they have also been back since this work was carried out to do a number of smaller jobs for us.. The advice they give and their can do attitude has been an absolute breath of fresh air.. I would recommend Cal Electrical to anyone looking for a reliable, professional!!

Used Cal Electrical before to provide electric supplier to garage. This time they fit an EV charger to the driveway. Recommended the product that would work best for me and ensured everything was working before they left.

Cal Electrical fitted our electric car charger point, our external power sockets and hard wired hot tub and external sensor lights. All work was completed in a professional manner and they even sorted our fuse board that a previous electrician hadn't completed correctly. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Excellent quality of work, exceptional advice and guidance. As a company we would have more than one contractor to call upon, however for our electrical works we only use the services of Cal Electrical, as they are both trustworthy and experts in their field.

We have used these guys for about 7 years and wouldn’t use any one else now. They are a lovely family business, honest, reliable and do a brilliant job whatever we ask them to do. No job is too small for them; they’ve been out to change a light bulb in ‘hard to reach’ places. Clean, tidy and trustworthy; just ace. Highly recommended.

This was the second time I had used CAL Electrical after being really impressed with their previous visit. They provided me with a prompt quote, and were able to fit my work in a very reasonable time. They are very knowledgeable on all the current and new regulations to ensure all works are being done to the highest standard and we’re able to advise me all the way though my project. It was a big job for them to fit the lights and bell as there was no power at the front of my house, but they made light work of getting the cables to where they needed to be, even running them inside the walls to ensure a sleek look. Really happy with the quality of work, price, tidiness, knowledge and overall job satisfaction is very high. I would 100% recommend.

I can’t recommend CAL Electrical enough. Really nice guys, completed the job exactly as they said they would and left no mess at all. I feel the price was fair for the work they did and I’ll be having them back in the future when required no doubt at all. Thanks again Jim & Ryan.

I rang on the recommendation from my sister who had used them, as I had a problem with my electrics. Jim and Ryan came with the hour sorted the problem and also came back 2 days later and fitted a new garden light for me. They we're prompt, polite, and I was pleased with the price for both jobs. I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and family.

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.
Look for consistent reviews across several named platforms, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
