Spencer arrive as arranged, gave a good quote (even my wife thought it would be more) and the guys who completed where friendly and informative.

Great experience with this electrician team. The whole process from start to finish was seamless. They were polite, professional, and easy to deal with. They came out to provide a quote and kept me updated throughout, then booked me in without any hassle. The work was completed to a high standard and everything was handled very professionally. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable electricians. They will be our go to for any future work we have planned.

SM responded quickly to the job request for replacement storage heaters. They visited the premises and sent me a video explaining precisely what they would do. The proposal was detailed and looked like good value. They completed the work to a very high standard. I would definitely use them again. Great company.

Really happy. Good communication, friendly and reliable. Did the work quickly and tidied up after. Would definitely recommend. Had our extractor fan replaced and it's so much quieter and more efficient. I can't believe I waited so long to get it done.

I recently requested an EV charger installation from SM Electrical Services and they did a fantastic job. The installation was completed very neatly and professionally, with great attention to detail. From the quotation stage through to the site survey, they inspired real confidence and trust, which made my decision to choose them very easy. Highly recommended!

Excellent service from start to finish. Spencer is extremely knowledgeable and organised - which makes discussing/organising the job a breeze. They had good availability and clear pricing. Andreas arrived on time, worked tidily and efficiently to install the fan. 10/10 would recommend.

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.
