Highlights
"This was a very easy experience came to look at the job on Monday and work carried out Wednesday by two very polite and professional workmen. Job was fairly priced and workmanship excellent. Would highly recommend."
"These guys are extremely competent and very professional in the way that they work. In other words a quality job with very personable staff. I'd be pleased to recommend them."
"I contacted Ian regarding an Electrical Safety Test and was unsure what the current pricing ect.. would be. Whilst not the very cheapest he assured me that his job would be solely to check the installation safety requirements and not to look for additional work to bump up the price. I got what it said on the tin. Exactly as promised and in a timely manor. Communication was spot on and i cant thank Ian and his team enough. Overall great value for the detailed report i received. I can honestly say there are decent trades still out there doing a fair days work for a fair days pay. 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.
