Daniel is really friendly, knowledgeable and honest, he did a great job sorting out the fusebox issue i had
Ron was punctual very tidy and professional. He discovered other issues that needed doing and did those also. He was very pleasant to deal with and I would use him again
Daniel fitted a cooker switch that was urgently required during the Christmas week, and from the quick response to the job enquiry to sourcing the correct part, everything went perfectly. He was punctual, polite, and did a fantastic job and I will definitely be booking Daniel for any other electrical jobs.
Really happy with the work done, really happy with the cost, and appreciate the flexibility to work around my schedule. Would strongly recommend.
Ron came to replace the bathroom recessed lights and under cabinet lights. (Jobs I planned to do my self but unable due to ill health and, I know they needed doing as unsafe) given a competetive quote I decided to get Ron to do the work as it all needed rewiring. Ron replaced the bathroom lights with solid units (self contained down lights (a lot safer than what was there and energy efficient) Honest, friendly and proffessional. Will keep the details when other jobs come up.

We were especially grateful to Daniel Cox for generously rearranging his busy schedule to accommodate our particular timetable for the job, which was completed speedily and meticulously.
Daniel was very polite turned up on time for both estimate and to do the job. He fitted a new kitchen light and a bathroom extractor fan. He explained the whole process and was professional and tidy through out. He was quick efficient and very reasonable. would definitely recommend.
Daniel has been great both times he has done some work for me. He also went over and above to make sure that what I needed was installed. Would highly recommend and hire again.
Booked CEC to upgrade my consumer unit. Great, responsive comms before the job. Arrived on time, finished early, cleaned up and even did an extra job I asked for at the last minute free of charge. Would definitely recommend.
Ron was very professional from start to finish, explained things in terms even I could understand. Very helpful attitude, prompt and tidy. Highly recommended.
Daniel fitted new smoke and heat alarms and installed a pull-cord light in my hall cupboard. Very happy with the quality of work, price and communication, and appreciated Daniel’s friendliness, punctuality and professionalism. Happy to recommend.
Very positive experience with the electrician who helped us installed a new light and added a new switch. The whole process was very smooth and communication was very clear throughout. The room was well cleanedup afterwards as well. Overall highly recommended!
Great work and communication. Carried out fault finding and found fault was easier to remedy than I expected. Delivered a high standard and was professional and friendly.
We really lucked out with Daniel. After a circuit fault, which proved too complex to fix, we called Daniel late in the evening and he was able to fit us in for the following morning. The fault was identified and fixed, together with a recommendation for a more permanent fix. Bluntly we cannot thank Daniel enough; he was informative, clearly understands his trade and was very approachable throughout. We have no hesitation in recommending Daniel and Cox Electrical Contracting and already have his contact details firmly in our phones for the future.
I called Daniel at nearly 6 in the evening and he was with us by 10am the next day. We had lost power to our lower floor and he was meticulous in restoring this for us. A big recommend from us.

Check the electrical registerIn 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.
