Highlights
"Great service. Dave has carried out various works for us over more than 10 years, including a complete rewire. He has always delivered an excellent quality of work at the time and price agreed. The most recent work on a bathroom was completed promptly and Dave made some useful and effective suggestions to improve the job. I can recommend Dave Watton Electrical Ltd unreservedly."
"Probably the best Electriciam I have ever used. Dave literally saw us through our rebuild from start to finish. Wouldn’t ever use anyone else."
"Dave completed our rewire for our relocated kitchen working with us to provide lighting, power, ventilation and detection to the area. Dave was accommodating to our needs in terms of specification and time scales for both first and second fixes to work around the various trades. The replacement of the consumer unit was also undertaken with very limited disruption to the property. Very good level of workmanship and a professional friendly service. Would fully recommend."

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.
