Highlights

"We had so much trouble finding someone to do this for us as most other workmen said it was too awkward to do. Cameron managed to wire in and install a brand new extractor fan for us and upgrade our thermostat from an analogue one to a digital. very happy with the outcome."

CAMERON CCheckatrade5.0 rating

"We initially had a few quotes from different electricians earlier in 2023, we went with Little Electric based on Cameron’s enthusiasm and energy. It was a fantastic choice and we were very impressed with his work throughout, nothing was too much trouble. To date we contracted Little Electric for 3 separate lots of work and we would highly recommend him."

Cameron is top bloke, had him do a full rewire on my newly purchased house. Had him back four times as things had to be changed round. Outstanding guy and really friendly.

Recommended to Little Electric (Cameron) by another trade contact. He carried out an EICR for our property and he was a pleasure to have in our home. Efficient, polite, helpful, informative and a bice guy. Could not have wished for a better first engagement with him. In very simple terms, he will now carry our any electrical work we require. Highly recommended.

Cameron of Little Electric has carried out a number of jobs at our new homes since we moved in a few months ago. I am very particular about work in the property and expect the highest standard of workmanship from any trades. Cameron has always exceeded these standards, is very reasonably priced, and is a really nice guy to deal with. He is our go to electrician for any future work now, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Cameron was punctual, helpful, reasonably priced and a very neat worker. I live in a new build and the site electrician told me that I could not have a socket in my hall, which disappointed me as it is very dark, so I was making do with battery operated lights, which I was never truly happy with and just accepted it. I needed to have an extra socket installed and a few other things and it was when I mentioned this to Cameron he looked surprised and said that it was possible to do this. He even juggled his diary to accommodate this early as he knew I had the decorators in. I would recommend Cameron and his high quality of work to anyone.

We had two bathroom fans fitted by Cameron and he did a brilliant job. Great communication, he always replied promptly on WhatsApp, and was punctual for our appointment. He was very tidy and respectful of our home. We would definitely recommend him to everyone. 👍🏻

We hired Little Electric for two double socket installations. While the initial technician left the work unfinished, the owner, Cameron, stepped in immediately to make it right. He was genuinely disappointed in the standard of work and took full ownership, returning early the next morning to complete the job himself. I feel a company is defined by how they handle mistakes, and Cameron’s integrity earned our full trust that the job would be completed in full to the highest standard.

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.
