Highlights
"James was extremely helpful to go to a property we are hoping to purchase and check the electrics for us and advise us on what was required and subsequently returned and fitted new consumer unit with surge protection device to make it safe."
"Great result. Just got on with it. Appreciate he accepted such a small job and will use him again."
"I had a problem with a dimmer switch that wasn’t working and a circuit (my kitchen/diner lighting) that kept cutting out. James Walton, who runs JBW provided a prompt, polite, efficient service at a very reasonable price and solved my problem. I would definitely use JBW again and recommend them very highly indeed."

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.
