Highlights
"We instructed this company to carry out EICR checks on two properties, one of which is a rental. Chris & son was very thorough and clearly explained what was needed to bring everything up to date. I felt reassured knowing the properties are now safer, and I will definitely use them again in the future."
"We developed a crack in a light fixture in the bedroom and needed to get it fixed quickly. Chris replied to the request within a minute and we had soon booked in for him to come the next day to resolve the issue. Communication was quick and the whole process felt so easy! Chris arrived on time (even a little early) and the job was completed to a high standard. Would definitely recommend his services and will be using again!"
"I have to thank Chris for his quick response to my small electrical problem. I just had to state what was wrong and he did the rest. I would have no hesitation in calling Chris again on any future issues."

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.
