This company rewired our whole house in 2023 and did a fantastic job. In 2025, I then decided I would like three extra double sockets in our main room, so Stephen came and fitted them, with the minimum of disruption and the maximum of quality and at a good price. I would recommend them wholeheartedly. *****

Came out at arranged time and did the work within an hour, so that was confident electrics were safe. Explained what the issue was and what he was doing about it. So really happy with the work done. The niggle is the price they quoted me was without VAT and they did not tell me the price was "plus VAT" when we arranged it despite me obviously being a domestic customer. I am sure this was an oversight, but it niggles !

The electrician arrived right on time and was polite and helpful. Carried out checks of electrical bonding and this was found to comply with regulations, so no further work needed. Everything explained clearly at the time and also with the invoice which was received on the same day.

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.
