Highlights
"My washing machine suddenly stopped working! I contacted Tapiwa who attended very promptly and was able to diagnose the problem fast. He fixed the issue within no time and I now have a working machine! Tapiwa is polite, helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend :)"
"Tapiwa fixed my washing machine at really short notice. It had stopped working and was leaking, and I wasn’t sure what to do. Tapiwa came around fully prepared with all the necessary tools and equipment and had it fixed in no time. Lightening Fast is definitely true to name! He knew exactly what to do, and I cannot thank him enough. Highly recommend and would definitely use again, especially for short-notice jobs. Great service. Thank you!"
"Excellent service, can’t recommend highly enough."

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.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
