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.
Jim and Ryan at CAL Electrical Ltd. are very professional and knowledgeable. They are really friendly too. We use them for everything electrical including safety and servicing.
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.
Professional, friendly and knowledgeable in every aspect. They are a company that I would recommend a thousand times over.
Great company very trustworthy kind and do a very good job
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.
Cal Electrical came out to us with really short notice and fixed two of our extractors fans which were causing mold in our bathrooms. Great service and reasonably priced. Will definitely use them again for any other electrical issues in our property!!!
Fantastic service from quote to completion. The CAL team even identified a further potential issue that was rectified FOC. Would happily recommend them to anyone that requires any form of electrical works and white goods repairs.
Excellent prompt service . Really nice guys wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
I've used Cal Electricians a few times now and they are always on time (early most times which is great) they are friendly and do a great job. they are quick efficient and never leave a mess. I would recommend them to any of my friends without hesitation
Jim and Ryan are professional but are also easy going and funny. Their work is first class and we've used them numerous times. We would recommend them and would use them again. Nothing fazes them They are punctual and tidy
Simply brilliant! Fantastic people doing a fantastic job. Thank you
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.
