Highlights
"Chris had excellent communication and he made himself available immediately for what was quite an urgent job. It was a complex job and he handled it meticulously. Really friendly, very professional, Chris gave great advice and was happy to work around a disrupted setting where workers were in and out. Would 100% recommend. Thank you again Chris"
"Chris helped us with a couple of small jobs fitting a light fitting and chasing a new socket into the wall. He did a great job, very friendly and professional and reasonably priced. We will definitely reach out again for other jobs in the future!"

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.
