Main bond water and gas mains, install 2 RCD's install 4 pendent lights, install 3 flush mounted switches, install 3, 2 gang switches, remove old spot lights and old 2 gang switch.
David carried out all the work to a very high standard. All work he carried out was exactly as discussed. There were some not to straight forward wiring/switching' s considerations. Dave was more than able to give advice on not only the safety aspects of the changes he was about to make but how the new lay out would look and function. I would highly recommend hiring D R Electrics and will be using Dave for any work I have in the future.

Checked faulty light fitting and switch.
I had a go at replacing a ceiling rose myself. It worked for a while and then stopped working, so I needed to call in a professional. Dave came the day after I had contacted him, and ran some tests. Turns out that the light switch was faulty, not my DIY! Very grateful to Dave for sorting out the problem whilst also salvaging my DIY reputation!

Full re-wiring of flat, replacement of all switches and sockets, fitting new lights.
Considering David was in the flat for about 3 weeks, he was very considerate and unobtrusive. Left the flat tidy every day. Very pleased with results. Highly recommended.

Upgraded four double sockets in the lounge.
We have used Dave before and had absolutely no hesitation asking him to quote for another job. He provides a competitive price, carries out a high-quality job and left our house in a tidy condition. We are 100% satisfied with Dave's work and would thoroughly recommend him to others.
