“Spencer was really quick with communication during the initial quite stage and ran me clearly through all my options and advised me on what was best to do. The team that came, Luke and Luca, were super efficient and tidy and also took the time to work around my children, who were quite excitable! The work carried out was good quality too.”

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.

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.
