Highlights
"I had a very quick response from Vincent after my initial query and communication throughout was excellent - prompt, professional and extremely polite. A quote and appointment were arranged quickly, and the job, replacing an outside light, was carried out quickly. Our engineer Matt was very friendly and arrived bang on time. A really refreshing customer experience - 10/10 to all concerned. I wouldn't hesitate to hire EMS again."
"We contacted EMS to install a dedicated supply for our AC external unit. They suggested a full electrical check for safety, which we agreed to. All work and socket relocations were completed to a high standard. While testing, they found electrical leakage at our external tap due to missing grounding by the developer. They installed bonding and resolved it, thankfully catching the issue early. When the power tripped later, their aftercare was excellent – they returned next day and identified a faulty food waste disposer. Professional, thorough and genuinely care about safety."
"The work was carried out efficiently and accurately and Vicente was great to work with. All of the work has been successful."

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.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
