Highlights
"We had Carl from Foulstons carry out several electrical jobs: making a socket flush, fixing and finishing installation of a dimmer switch, replacing our old pod lights with LEDs, and installing a new kitchen light. He was professional, tidy, and explained our options clearly before starting. Everything looks great and works perfectly. Highly recommend!!!"
"Carl was very proactive and helpful when quoting the job and was always prompt in replying to any questions. Carl communicated very well the dates he would be available for the job and kept to the agreed date. On the day to start Carl arrived early morning and the job was completed the following day, to a good standard, on time, and on budget a rare commodity amongst trades these days. I would definitely employ Carls services again in the future."
"Friendly and very meticulous in the work required to be done. Close attention to health and safety requirements. Would highly recommend."

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.
