House is 3 storeys, with 2 good extensions - but also had had some faulty DIY electrical work in the main part of the house.  Steve spent 1 week checking and fixing everything; he gave us a very detailed report; replaced all faulty fixtures and fittings; and gave safety recommendations for an electric car point.  His knowledge and experience is priceless as he is fully trained, sadly he is one of the very few who are.  He has now worked on five houses for us and our families - and he remembers every job he does!  He is the best.

Huge project: to check and fix all electrical installations after moving into a 1950's house.

Steve is the best Electrician we have ever worked with - and with our families because he has now completed many large projects on all our homes.  His knowledge is outstanding and we always feel extremely confident in all that he recommends in order to fully complete all works to the highest safe standard.

To move the immersion heater electrics and switch from the attic to the airing cupboard.

Excellent service all round.  Very knowledgeable professional electrician.  Neat and tidy, courteous, very responsive to requests by email/phone and gives good sound advice.  Provided us with accurate and fair pricing ahead of the work.  Would I use Steve again.....  definitely, some work planned in the loft and garden.
