Highlights
"paul was no nonsense, quick to quote, and got the job done efficiently. he turned up when he said he would, was clean and tidy, and was both friendly and professional to deal with. would definitely recommend!"
"the experience of working with Paul at Harbourside has been excellwnt. The required job was to replace all downstairs lights. Paul recommended the units and despite ropey ceiling cut outs, Paul and his colleague were able to replace all lighting without issue and to a much higher standard than previous. Paul also identified that all of our fire alarms were expired and we agreed for these to be replaced. We were kept informed throughout. Paul was able to turn the job around in a week for which I am hugely grateful, despite the house being upside down. I would absolutely recommend Harbourside!"
"Great service from Paul and co. Clear and accurate quote, got everything done in a day, clean and tidy, everything working well. Good comms too. Thanks!"

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.
