Highlights
"Honest, trustworthy and competent. Have used them previously and would recommend them."
"Solve's service was excellent both times I have used them. The work was done quickly, he was able to make appointments at times that suited us and all issues were communicated to us really well. Would definitely recommend and use Solve again."
"Absolutely fantastic service from Barry, who at every stage of the work ( installation of a new hob, EICR and replacement smoke alarms) was great at communication, checking for authority to proceed, and sourcing products at a good price. We would definitely use Solv Electrics again and highly recommend this company."

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.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
