I was very fortunate to engage David and Rob on my electrical issues. My fusebox dated from the 70's and one of my three main circuits had tripped or blown permanently' Rob did a super job renewing the fuse box and replacing it with upto date materials. My 5 light fittings in the ceiling were in diabolical state of repair and he replaced and overhauled these old fittings with new , safer materials. After these works , Rob cleaned up most of the detritus behind, especially from the fusebox, so I am very pleased with their dedicated service. I would recommend them both to anyone.
Quickly and efficiently dealt with by David. Highly recommended
Excellent job carried out within 2 hours of posting at very competitive rate. Brilliant communication and extremely neat taking all waste. Thanks Dave 👍

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.
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.
