Replacement of Consumer Unit

James explained in detail the work to be done beforehand and I was impressed with his knowledge and his ability to explain that to me. He produced a very detailed quote. I was very confident he would do a good job and I was not disappointed. He arrived on time, provided emergency power to our freezers and got on with the job. He kept me informed throughout the work. He was thorough in cleaning up afterwards and ensuring all our appliances were re-connected safely. We were very comfortable having him in our home. I would be happy to use him again in the future and would recommend him to friends and family.
