Absolutely fantastic service, didn’t even get a response from the other companies/individuals I contacted but Charlie responded within minutes and Lee did a brilliant job, wouldn’t use anyone else next time, highly recommend, thank you!!
We had quite a few small jobs around the house and had been let down a couple of times by no-shows from other companies. Charlie and his team were a breath of fresh air, responding quickly to queries and booking us in quickly. The work done was fab and at a very reasonable price too :) More...
Highly recommend these guys. Came round in an emergency and sorted everything ASAP. Will definitely use them again. Thanks so much
We recently had Charlie and his team complete restoration work to our decking lights, fit spot lights in our lounge, redo the lighting and extraction in the bathroom, outdoor lighting AND even for our entire house with USB plug sockets (not sure how we ever lived without them! ) - Excellent on customer service, timeliness and cost. Delighted to have Charlie on speed dial (I feel sorry for his Mrs!) More...
Fast, reliable and trustworthy service. A call out with Downlight Electrical was quick and easy to arrange. When Charlie arrived he explained exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it. This put us at ease as some tradesman we had used before seemed to do work for no reason apart from to charge extra. Downlight Electrical do a great job and would definitely recommend them. We will be using them ongoing thanks to a great customer service. More...
Charlie fitted external lights and power socket for us and he did a great job at a very reasonable price. Was also very attentive and obliging in helping us pick our options.
Thanks for the new sockets in the kitchen Charlie. A job well done and with minimal disruption. I will definitely contact you again when I next need an electrician.
Charlie came to us at a couple of days notice to change our bedroom light fitting and switch & to make it dimmable. I popped out for an hour, came home & it was done! My husband said Charlie had been in & out within half an hour, no stress, no mess & very reasonably priced. I love our new light, exactly what I wanted. Thank you � More...
Charlie was fast to respond visiting & quoting Easter weekend. He completed the work the very next evening (squeezing us in after a full days work). Very professional. I will be in touch again. Couldn’t recommend Downlight Electrical enough. More...
Jordan came to instal a new fuse box in our outbuilding, which had lost its power supply and was causing me to worry about electrical fires, as the old fuse had melted! ! He was prompt, efficient reassuring! Well worth the money and I will definitely be using him and the company again, particularly as we have an old house! Thank you guys! More...

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.
