"We recently instructed Sydenham Electrical to carry out electrical work at our home, including installing new lighting, additional power sockets, exterior lights, and fitting a wired Ring doorbell at our front door. Ben did an excellent job from start to finish. He worked efficiently, kept everything clean and tidy, and took great care to ensure a neat, professional finish. The quality of the work was outstanding, and everything was fully tested before he left. We’re extremely pleased with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sydenham Electrical to anyone. Thanks again, Ben!"

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.
