Highlights

"Contacted SCV Electrical to get a second opinion on a previous inspection and their recommendation for remedial work required on my electrics. Dave was responsive and professional throughout advising on what needed to be checked/replaced and what was less urgent to enable me to focus on the important items and not spend unnecessarily. Gus arrived to carry out the work. Lovely, experienced and courteous individual who carried out the inspection and rewiring whilst being respectful of our property. Not the cheapest but always happy to pay more for quality. Would highly recommend!"

We have used SCV multiple times for works in our showroom/office over the last (approx) 10 years. Dave and his team have also helped is with a variety of trade shows. Whenever we receive new lighting or need to move products or if something fails and needs to be checked, we always use SCV. Would happily recommend them

Dave and his team are great, very knowledgeable, very conscientious! They were quick to respond to my initial request for help, communicated well throughout. The job was done well and quickly, and their rate was very decent. All in all I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an electrician in London.

Have used SCV for electrical safety testing and remediation on many occasions. Also fitting new lights and electrical heaters. Always professional and reliable and giving good advice.

Having receieved a quote condeming our wiring and for expensive remodelling which based only on testing feeds into the circuit board, we wanted a second opinion. Within an hour the SCV team had assessed the board and the offending circuit within the room and were fully inspected and tested. By rewiring one section and fitting one change to the circuit board - problem solved.

SCV turned up on time, talked me through what they were going to do clearly and let me know about any problems they ran into. The work they did was good quality. They were easy to book with and their pricing was transparent.

We had used Michael a few months ago so he was our first port of call when we needed another job carried out. He arrived pretty promptly and then carried out both jobs in less time than expected. He was courteous, diligent and friendly throughout and did a very neat, tidy job.

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 platforms, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
