Company Profile

I'm an NICEIC registered domestic installer, so I am fully insured and all my notifiable work comes with a Local Authority Building Control backed 6 year warranty. Obviously all of my work will be fully tested and certified, the originals of which are issued to you, and building control notified on your behalf, where necessary. I'll give you a free quote in writing and NOT just an estimate on any work agreed, so no nasty surprises and the quote will be broken down into labour and material costs (a copy of the invoices for materials can be provided if you wish). Over 12 years experience, 17th edition wiring regs (the latest including the 2011 amendments), part P building regs compliant, personable, flexible and I won't leave your house with anything less than I would be happy with in mine. I'm happy to work at weekends and during the evenings if it suits you better and I won't increase my quote as a result. Ring, email or text and I'll call you back to arrange a convenient time to come and discuss your requirements.

New ceiling lights and dimmer switches fitted

All as we expected from a highly recommended Checkatrade member, and such a contrast with our previous experience, of an electrician who appeared to know little more than us. We are very satisfied with the work carried out, especially the attention to details that are unseen now the job is finished.

Full house re-wire

The best electrician ever had. Bearing in mind the size of the job, the house was left safe and tidy every day. Always keeping us informed of any extra work that we were creating. A house re-wire I've learnt never sticks to the original plan. Joe the apprentice was always keen to try out his new Christmas tools, even though they weighed him down. Really, really nice guys. We won't be using anyone else in the future.

Whole house rewired with additional external security lights

Julian is an excellent communicator and kept me informed of progress. He is very reliable, knowledgeable, pleasant to talk to and was very patient when dealing with my occasional change of mind regarding requirements. He made every effort to tidy up after himself and to cause the least disruption as the work progressed.

Excellent standard of work, with a friendly and professional approach. Kept us informed of any possible changes to discussed quote if the situation changed once work commenced - although this didn't end up being necessary.

New Consumer Unit and main earth and bonding and rewire

We had an 'electrician' in a few years ago, but he went out of business, leaving our consumer unit incorrectly wired, not earthed properly and cables all over the place. Julian came and sorted everything out for us with a minimum of fuss, cleaned up after himself and kept us fully informed of what he was doing, and why. A professional job done. Highly recommended.
