Highlights
"This is a company you will trust. Really helpful advice from the start with clear explanations. Even though the result of the advice meant less work was needed, Peter was happy to offer this advice. The work was completed to an excellent professional standard. Very courteous and respectful of our home. Easy payment method. Overall an excellent experience and would highly recommend."
"Pete responded efficiently providing a quotation within a couple days of raising the job! Our first communication was video call which was great. He called me on time and provided two quotes based on works that may have been needed. Pete arrived on time, was knowledgable, friendly and got the job done very quickly! Thanks Pete! Highly recommend and will use for any further electrical work."
"Loveliest local electrician, friendly, reliable, and excellent with communication from start to finish. Installed a socket for our understairs storage unit and did a fantastic job. Everything was completed to a very high standard, and at short notice too, which we really appreciated. Very professional throughout, would highly recommend!"

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.
