Mr Kevin Wade

I’m Kevin Wade, a domestic electrician with over 20 years of experience, and I’ve been proudly serving customers on Checkatrade for more than 10 years — probably one of the longest-serving electricians in the area.I keep things simple and personal. When you call, you speak directly to me — not an office or call centre. I’ll assess the job, provide the quote, carry out the work myself, and send the invoice. No subcontractors, no middlemen, just honest work done properly.I specialise in domestic electrics and cover all aspects of electrical work within the home. Whether it’s adding sockets, upgrading fuse boards, fault finding, EV chargers, lighting, EICRs, or full rewires, I’ve got the experience to get the job done safely and to a high standard.Being a one-man-band allows me to genuinely care about the quality of the work and the service I provide. My reputation means everything to me, which is why I always aim to turn up when I say I will, communicate properly, and leave customers happy with the end result.Over the years I’ve built up hundreds of positive reviews across Checkatrade and other platforms, with many customers coming back to me again and again or recommending me to friends and family.I’m fully qualified, fully insured, and registered with NICEIC, meaning I can certify and notify work where required under Part P Building Regulations.If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced electrician who takes pride in doing things properly, feel free to get in touch.

Odd Jobs

Which Trusted Tradesman

K W Electrical Services

Kevin was responsive to queries. He was able to provide a quote over the phone post my explanation, and was able to deliver the job swiftly to a good standard. He was also kind enough to provide advice on some dimmer switches and replace one whilst he was here.

Kevin was helpful, responsive and did the job swiftly to a good standard

I recently hired Kevin at KW Electical Services and couldn’t be more impressed with the quality of work and professionalism. He diagnosed the issue quickly, explained everything in a clear and friendly way, and completed the job with real attention to detail.

What stood out most was his reliability—arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy. 

If you’re looking for someone skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to doing the job right, give KW Electical Services a call. I’ll definitely be using their services again.

Reliable Excellent Electrical Service

On time, flexible, thorough and quick. In and out within 30 mins. Excellent responsiveness, too. Now our go-to person.

Fast and thorough

Kevin was brilliant. Communication good, friendly and did a great job. Will use again.

Hob installation and extractor repair

Kevin has undertaken various half to full day jobs for me over the last 7 to 8 years. He is reliable, a problem solver, neat and tidy and never leaves until the job is completed. 

He also required my nephews apartment and he was efficient and a pleasure to work and deal with.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin.
