What customers say
Highlights
"A job that should have lasted a maximum of a full day was partially ended after approximately eight weeks and three visits. Took hours to fit a hood, drilled extra unsightly eight holes in the granite splashback and didn't bother to make it good, blamed Zanussi for a design fault. Fitted four dimmers, one of which does not work properly, fitted few more light switches, two of them upside down, kept complaining about how long it took him, didn't want for us to be around when he was working (evidently due to his incompetence), was rude both to me and my wife and wouldn't correct his shortcomings. Worse trader I have ever had."
"I had a problem with the downstairs lighting which had completely fused. Steve of Skay Electrical (whom I had used on a previous occasion) responded quickly to my email request for assistance, and arrived promptly on the agreed day. He patiently tested the network until he found the source of the problem. This was quickly and efficiently rectified and with his advice some additional switches and bulbs were replaced. I was very satisfied with the standard of work and found Steve to be friendly and helpful. I will certainly use him again and am happy to recommend him."
"We have used Steve at Stay Electrical regularly over the last few years, the last works recently completed - works done both on our own property and 6 other properties we rent out. Works always done on schedule and in the agreed budget. After initially using other electricians, we were recommend Steve at Stay Electrical and now only use him exclusively. Works done include electrical safety checks and certifications, new electrical distribution boards, new and replacement electrical wiring and fittings, security installations, fault finding and rectification. We find Steve very responsive, skilled, helpful and professional, offering great service"

We have used Skay Electrical numerous times over the last few years. Works include installing floodlights, replacing a bathroom extractor fan, installing a kitchen hood and changing light fittings. On all occasions, we were very pleased. Work was done swiftly and efficiently. Would definitely recommend Skay Electrical.
We have used Skay on a number of occasions over the years and at various properties as Steve is always knowledgeable, friendly and completes his jobs promptly and to a high standard. He offers excellent advice, customer service and communications throughout. The most recent job was installing 4 outside lights to the front of our house and garage, but Steve has worked previously on numerous inside lighting installations, outside sockets and lighted bathroom mirrors. Highly recommended!

After a fraught month without an oven, problems because the wiring was not right for the oven and an electrician that I had no confidence in I contacted Skay Electrical Ltd. It was a joy to have Steve doing the work. He did a little bit of rewiring in order to install the double oven and the hob. He found solutions to problems he encountered and nothing was too much trouble. He was also going to replace my extractor fan but found that the one I had bought was not right. He offered to buy the correct type for me and he should be coming to install it later this month. I found Steve very helpful and professional. He was friendly and easy to get on with. The price he charged for the work was very fair. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Steve of Skay Electrical Ltd did an amazing and reliable job for us. He first checked the electronics of a property that we were about to purchase. His report was very detailed and clear recommendations were made. We went ahead with the purchase and employed his services to upgrade the mains box which was outdated and an immediate hazard and also to fix a few issues that he had highlighted. We took a while to give a review because we wanted to make sure everything was working perfectly and so far all seems great! We will definitely be using Steve/Skay Electrical ltd again. Thank you Steve!
Steve rewired my house for me and brought it up to standard. He advised me every step of the way and showed me the best solutions to my issues. He is charming and helpful, and there is no time wasting. He did the work very neatly and with a minimum of mess. he issued to necessary certificates. I am very impressed. Recommended
Steve from Skay Electrical Ltd. was called when we had an emergency with a light switch. He came within half an hour and fixed the switch. He was very friendly and we could see that he was highly knowledgeable about electricity. We decided to have him put a consumer unit in, which we had been meaning to have for some time. Steve explained the difference between various consumer units and gave us good advice about which one to have. On the day, he worked hard all day, and after installing the consumer unit, he did a general check, to make sure everything was working as it should. We are very pleased to have found him and are engaging his services again to do some further jobs for us.
Steve has done several jobs for us (new extractor, new sockets and a new thermostat) and is a really efficient worker with a very pleasant manner. Fully explains options available.
We had Steve from Skay Electrical Ltd around again, to sort out various little jobs that were building up around the house. We found it reassuring that he is a NICEIC Approved Contractor, and he previously installed an up-to-date consumer unit for us. This time he put in two new sockets in the lounge, and repaired a third; He put an extra socket on our washing machine & dryer, as we had them both on a plugboard, which Steve advised not to do. He put up two new light fixtures in the kitchen and lounge, fixed a light in the back room which was not working, and changed a hall cord and shade. Amongst various other little things, he removed three smoke detectors and replaced them with a mains powered heat alarm in the kitchen, and two mains powered smoke alarms, downstairs and upstairs, wireless interlinked with three radio frequency bases, which we had wanted to have done for some time. He was friendly and efficient, and also checked the electric shower that had been put in by someone else. He worked very hard, and kept to the quote. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs any electrical work done.
I have had electrical drop outs which have baffled a number of past electricians. Steve’s “can do “ attitude was so refreshing—it was based on his experience and his enthusiasm to solve all mysteries. His determination and perfectionist approach was what I needed and I can now relax!
Steve replaced two smoke alarms at an hour’s notice. He was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient and I would be happy to use his services again.
Steve came at the time he promised, did the work which was the installation of an illuminated bathroom mirror cabinet within the time frame he predicted, and he charged the quoted amount. Very happy with the work and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.
Very professional service from initial contact via telephone to completion of job on site. Great customer service from Steve. Would not hesitate to recommend and will definitely use their services again if needed.
Steve was on time, professional and got the job done swiftly but very effectively. Would recommend to anyone in need of an electrician
I used Skay Electrical after being let down by another company. I was given a rough estimate of the time it would take to complete and a price on the phone (which is useful for budgeting-no nasty surprises). The electrician was prompt, courteous and tidy. The work was completed to a high standard. I will definitely be using them again.
My wife and I were very impressed with Steve’s work in our house. He arrived when he said he would, got on with the work steadily and thoroughly, explained issues that arose in a clear and patient manner, and kept to the estimated costs. He has a very friendly and cheerful manner. I would totally recommend him to others; we in fact plan to ask him to return to instal an induction hob in the near future.
Steve from Skay Electrical Ltd came on time and carried out all electrical works to the house over two days. He removed the old fuse box under the stairs and replaced it with a new fire rated fuse box, which he supplied. Although, it took him 2 hours for fault finding to repair cable fault on the lighting circuit. He finally managed to resolve the problem. He supplied and fitted two new security lights one for the rear external wall and the other for front external wall. He took the power from double socket in the small box room and supplied and fitted one switched fused isolator switch. He fitted two wall lights in the conservatory and one ceiling light in the kitchen provided by us. He re-positioned the washing machine socket into a cupboard beside it in the kitchen. Also supplied and fitted one extractor fan in the bathroom. All works were carried out as agreed on the schedule and on budget. He left the place tidy afterwards. Steve was friendly and helpful in explaining the work that needed to be carried out. He also had good communication skills. We will definitely be using Steve for any future electrical works
Steve arrived punctually to look at our light issues in the bathroom and garage. After doing some investigation he quickly established what the problems were and explained them clearly and concisely. Steve has excellent communication skills and most importantly he listens well. He is professional, friendly and inspires confidence. We were given an approximate estimate of price ahead of the visit which managed our expectations and we thought he was competitively priced. We would definitely use his services again and would have no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends.
