"Tom was incredibly friendly and reliable and turned up on time. He has top notch communication and knew what he was doing. The job was professionally done and the ceiling rose looks perfect! He made sure it was secure and all working before leaving too so was very thorough and I was impressed. I would use again 100%!"

Tom couldn’t have been more helpful when we had an electric cut out late at night. He talked us through a resolution and couldn’t have been nicer.

Tom communicated with us about the work involved with extensive knowledge and always answered any queries we had on time. He turned up for the work early (which is unheard of!) and on both days. The work he did for us was without question the best electrical work we have seen. We are very particular and are so glad we chose Tom to do all of this for us. His wiring was neat and exactly as we asked, he left our house probably cleaner than it was before, and is such a lovely guy. We will be getting him out again for sure and would highly recommend!

Tom provided an excellent service. Communication was clear throughout. Tom arrived at the agreed time. He was very professional, was very neat in the work carried out, and cleared up all debris. This was a job for my elderly parents. Tom took time to talk to them and explain what he was doing. Would definetely use Tom again and would highly recommend.

A great service, delivered on time. EICR report included an overview email, explaining the report in layman terms, which was much appreciated.

Tom was very knowledgeable, did a quick and neat job, perfect result. The task involved running a new electrical supply to the kitchen, through the ceiling. It could've been tricky, but Tom made the job simple.

Innov8 were brilliant! They responded really fast to my parents house when they were in darkness with no electric power or lighting. They were quick to respond and really helpful, making sure everything was safe and secure. Excellent communication! Would really recommend them and definitely call on them again if needed. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the isolation switch to our cooker decided to give up the ghost on Christmas Day. Innov8 Electrical was the first to quote, and was able to come out at short notice a few days later Tom was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Whilst here he also disconnected an old doorbell transformer from the mains. He also does Christmas Day call outs which is useful to know.

Tom came over to give us some new wall sockets and changed/move some existing ones. Very professional and friendly service, done to a very high standard. I thought the service overall was excellent.

I've had Innov8 come and complete a few jobs now at my house - each and every time the job is done well, on time, neatly, and to the quote provided. Tom knows his stuff, and helps to find appropriate and safe solutions where needed. Highly recommended!

From start to finish there was clear communication with Tom. He made recommendations based on our needs which we implemented. On the day of the job, in addition to the installation, we were impressed with the preparation of the area and the clean up. Looking forward to working with Tom again.

Exceptional service from start to finish. Whilst this was a routine service, Tom went above and beyond to explain all aspects of the work and not only carry out what was asked but provided useful insight and advice. Tom was friendly and approachable providing an enjoyable and trusting experience. I would highly recommend and will be looking to use the company for any future work where possible.

Quite simply the best tradesperson we’ve had the pleasure of doing business with from start to finish - outstanding work and communication. Extended and tested the existing cooker supply, installed a dual cooker outlet, reconnected two existing single ovens, and safely isolated a redundant warming drawer. Three pendantsl lights were also replaced with a single drop-down light fitting, with neat wiring adjustments and safety testing. Professional, punctual, and meticulous throughout. Book him - you won't regret it 👍

Tom from Innov8 Electrical SW fitted a new night storage heater recently for my mother who is 93. From the first contact with Tom he was very friendly and approachable and when he visited my mums home to assess for a quote he was prompt reliable and very clear about the details of the work and the costs involved. When the work was done Tom was trustworthy, courteous and kind to my Mum whilst being very efficient and tidy. Toms communication was excellent too along with his reassurances about a follow up service. I would definitely recommend Tom and very much appreciate the service he provided.

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.
