Had an old cooker hood removed and replaced by a new one I had bought online. It was not an easy job to do due to the way the old unit had been fitted but John and his partner did a first class job in replacing it with the new unit which gives the fitted kitchen a more modern appearance. Can definitely recommend Donnell Electrical.

Donnell ECL - Completed removal of original electrical main frame planned new electrical installation consulting architect plans. Not only was the professionalism along side having an encyclopaedic knowledge of electrical installations in our domestic environment. We can not praise this company enough in this day and age in the UK they are a breath of fresh air. We also took advantage in up dating our Fire alarm system this was supplied as well to a high level of standards .

Lastnight I had crackling/arc flash coming from fuse box. Switched power off. John came out on a emergency call. He got me up and running through the night. Came back in the morning to fit new fuse box. My house was a challenge but John and Daniel sorted it. They cleared up their mess after. Reasonable price. Their priority is ur safety, not to try and rip u off. Definitely saving John number if I need anymore work doing.

We had a power cut at 21:00 on a Monday. We thought we had unplugged all the appliances, but we were unable to turn the main switch back on. John answered the phone directly and offered to talk us through on the phone first to get us safely through the night. He was very patient and guided us through a whole range of troubleshooting steps. We would have never found it without his help, which was quick, direct, and even free, as he said the advice was gratis. Truly, the man is a saint and I cannot say enough good things about him. Donnell proved reliable and scarily good!

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.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
