4.9out of 5
Highlights
"We somehow managed to lose half of the downstairs lighting system which took out 4 rooms and wouldn’t reset through the fusebox. Kelvin was easy to contact and so arranged to come after a couple of days as he said he was already busy but would fit us in. Turns out he had previously done a very long day to coming to us. Kelvin was thorough and always courteous and within a reasonably short time he had found the issue and rectified it. We have used Kelvin on quite a few occasions now and under no circumstances would we not call him in. Brilliant guy."
"inspected the socket and fixed the fault by replacing a new socket."

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.
