“Robert worked on our strange electrical fault over a number of days. After a thorough process of elimination the fault was finally found under the floorboards of one of the upstairs rooms. Over this time Robert ensured that we had as much of our system working as possible. Fixing this is just step one and we look forward to Robert working to fix the balance of the problems.”

Highlights
“We were extremely plased with the work Robert and his assistant carried out. They were always on time - even early most days - and work quietly, efficiently and carried out all the work required to an extremely high standard. We highly recommend R&D to anyone looking for someone reliable, trustworthy and really good at their job.”
“Excellent service. My flat had a whole host of electrical issues and other electricians had suggest re-wiring and all sorts of complex solutions to simply make money. Robert fixed everything in a timely and efficient manner at a fair price. If you want someone you can rely on and trust, who will do an excellent job, then look no further. I cannot speak highly enough of Robert.”
Detailed reviews
Extremely knowledgable and helpful.
Robert is an excellent Electrician, very methodical in his work and problem solving. He did a big and at times difficult job in upgrading my whole system to comply with present day standards. I would not hesitate to recommend him. G V Cornwell.
We found Robert to be very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. He was punctual and had an amazing work ethic. He was a pleasure to interact with and was always happy to discuss and explain what he intended to do. We are really happy with the work that Robert carried out in our house, which included fitting a new consumer unit after carrying out some remedial work. We have given Robert a fully deserved score of 5 stars.
I had an electrical emergency, and Rob managed to come last minute. He did a great job and I would definitely recommend.
Robert was professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable. His solution to our electrical problems was peedy and effective and priced very fairly. I have no hesitation in recommending Robert and his company to either domestic or commercial user.

R&D Electrical are simply excellent! Their team deployed at short notice and were very punctual, even attending very early in the morning to fit in with our schedule. They installed sockets and lighting to a new external office, which required provision of a robust armoured cable. The team displayed a highly conscientious attitude, and the work was completed efficiently to a very high standard. They worked efficiently without fuss and were very courteous and considerate to family members. They also cooperated well with other tradesmen and the work was reasonably priced. I have absolutely no hesitation in commending and recommending Robert and his team. Well done, and thank you!
Punctual, excellent service .. would definitely recommend!
Good work in solving a difficult fault
Rob installed two exterior lights at the front of my house, very happy with the job. All completed as per quote and to a high standard. Prior to this he had replaced a couple of extractor fans and plug sockets inside the house and very happy with that job as well. Very good communication throughout the process.
Rob was very thorough and made sure everything was safe whilst updating our electrics and fuse box.
Robert did an excellent job. I’d definitely use him again. Pat
I highly recommend Robert. Robert is professional, arrives on time and works diligently. He helped rewire our lighting throughout our house. He follows regulations to the dot at every stage of his work and completed a through electrical safety checks which was reassuring. I rehired Robert again to do all our sockets and help correct wiring on the boiler.
All works were fantastic. I’m so grateful to Robert for all the advice he gave me before and during carrying out works. He ran test before, during and on completion of works. I highly recommend his professionalism of his work and safety knowledge is paramount. Thank you Robert for all your work and making my home safe again.
Very good, easy to deal with. Job well done.
Robert Ifrah has done work for us in Central London over many years and we have found him highly capable, consistently reliable, friendly and, of course, honest. The last job he did for us was a few weeks ago to rectify a chandelier that had dramatically blown a major fuse. He sorted it promptly and supplied high quality bulbs for future use. Robert first came to work for us when our flat was undergoing major updating and alteration. He coped with the electrical challenges involved and was able to provide a range of services, including qualified inspection and certification. Neighbours have been impressed enough to retain his services and the landlord company responsible for the whole building has hired him to modernise the electrics of the common parts, interior and exterior. Well-placed security lights have been a particular boon. It should be plain from the above that we have no hesitation in recommending Robert for his technical work and reliability.

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.
Check the electrical registerIn 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.
