Highlights
"Ash has been brilliant, helpful, reassuring, communicative and patient - even though there was a long gap between our initial quote and getting the work done, as soon as I got in touch with Ash a couple of months later and close to Christmas, he sprung into action and got us booked in. Louie did the work thoroughly and without disruption and left everything tidy. Wouldn't hesitate to use these guys again! Thank you."
"Efficient and good value"
"Very pleased with work done (extractor fans, light fittings and extra plug socket). Very efficient fitter. The electrician was polite and tidy and caused very little disruption. A fair price paid as well"

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.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
