Highlights
"Melind is efficient, courteous and ethical -- he was willing to come even for a smaller job of installing a socket. I really appreciated that, including that he sourced an identical socket so we didn't have to do that. His communication was good and he arrived when he said he would -- a big plus. We'll definitely call Melind for future projects."
"Merlind did an excellent job. He fitted in what was a small job with his other commitments. He gave good advice on how to proceed, not seeking to impose a particular solution. Having agreed the way forward he then purchased the required part, and fitted it immediately. Couldn’t have been more helpful."
"Excellent service provided by Skilled Sparks Ltd (Merlind). Responded quickly with an accurate competitive Quote. Merlind arrived on time & did a highly professional job both sourcing & fitting the replacement Shower 'Pull-Cord' Switch. Would definitely use his services again A+ !!!"

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.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
