Highlights
"We have used Nick for our electrical work for twenty years now. We needed to replace several old light fixtures in our lounge and sort out a few items, including extractor fans and PIRs that had stopped working properly. Nick was clean, efficient and thorough, ensuring that each task was undertaken satisfactorily. We continue to be delighted with his workmanship and can recommend him."
"The work was conducted to my request and per quotation. Nick has now done two jobs for us, and he is dependable and efficient. I would recommend and will be using his services in the future."
"We've used Nick frequently for all of our electrical issues and he has always been extremely polite, tidy, effective and helpful. He gives genuinely independent advice (not just telling you what you want to hear) and helps to ensure that you make good decisions. We used him most recently to install a new Sky Glass TV on a brick wall where the power needed re-directing and chasing into the wall. He was incredibly tidy, quick and great value for money. He also helped install some Hue downlights which again he did very quickly and without making a mess. Couldn't be happier would highly 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.
