Vic quoted for the our job and carried out the work there and then!! Highly recommended!
Vic arrived to change a couple of sockets for me. He was very professional, helpful and friendly. I was at ease from the moment he arrived. Job was completed with no issues and he talked me through what he was doing at all times. Once finished any mess was cleaned up. Advice was given for future jobs that I need doing and I will definitely be re booking with ESV Installations. I highly recommend his services.
Excellent work, good price, arrived on time and completed the job as promised.
Arrived on Time. Professional from start. Charged by the time used in fixing Bracket, Mounting and Tuning. As replacement TV had different sockets to old, more work was required to ensure transition. Very happy with result & would definitely use Company again.
Very prompt, professional and friendly. Reasonably priced. Fully informed of cost before commencing work. Photo evidence provided. Very honest ( even gave me the £1 coin he found on the roof.
ESV are reliable, helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and i have used them several times over the last .8 years as I know we can trust their workmanship. We would recommend them for all electrical/tv/wifi problems/jobs.
Excellent job, arrived on time. Fitted 5 new lights plus a sensor and junction boxes. Very neat and tidy job
Vic was polite, friendly and very professional. He inspired confidence in me when he came to look at the job. He was not put off by the amount of work that was needed nor the hight of the working area. Vic was very good at communicating at at all times. Completed the work in the time quoted. I am a very satisfied customer and I will wholeheartedly recommend Vic to friends and family who need a first rate electrian.
Vic is extremely kind, helpful and knowledgable. He did a great job at fitting an Aerial into my new flat. Really impressed with his service! 100% recommend him to anyone who needs an Aerial!
Very pleased with work carried out Brady who carried out the installation was very good and left no mess thank you Alan
I’ve called upon ESV on two occasions. First to fit a new tv aerial from the roof to 3 places inside and then to fit an amplifier and RJ45’s to the ends of some data cables. Vic is very knowledgeable, efficient and patiently talked me through both processes and answered all my questions. Can’t recommend him highly enough - thank you Vic!
Vic conducted a superb example of efficient fault finding and modification in my kitchen. He identified a hidden wiring issue the construction company had long ago left me with, before setting up a new, convenient power source for my dishwasher. Via discussion and agreement with me, he made good quality modifications to my under sink cupboard and the adjacent counter to provide power, being wonderfully transparent throughout - explaining his processes and reasoning. This work was very reasonably priced. Absolutely superb - I would thoroughly recommend ESV Installations for any electrical work.
Vic was prompt, polite and very courteous to my very elderly mother and myself. The work was carried out in a timely manner and completed with great satisfaction. He tidied up after himself and left everything in good working order.
Fitting a wired ring doorbell and camera/lights at our home. Was professional and friendly throughout - great value and highly recommend
Have used Vic before and quite simply he is the best trades person I have come across. Every job he undertakes is with knowledge, skill and total care. I always find Vic to be prompt, clean, tidy and friendly. I can’t not recommend him enough. Thanks again Vic for the fantastic service !
Installed thermostat very efficiently and quickly. Very polite and tidy. Highly recommended
This company was highly recommended to us, and rightfully so. The work that was required was carried out efficiently and cheerfully.
Vic is very professional, a great communicator and he did an excellent job!!! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services. Very happy customer.

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