    Electrical Installation Condition Report - Safety Checks - EICR

    Posted 27 October

    A Reliable and Efficient company

    Matthew carried out a EIRC assessment on our rented out flat. He did this efficiently and gave some very helpful advice in the process. It was a pleasure to deal with him and do not hesitate to recommend him.

    Electrician

    Prompt, professional, and highly recommended electrician

    We have used Matt a couple of times now and he always provides a great service. He is friendly, quick to reply to messages, and has been brilliant at fitting us in at short notice when needed. So far, he has fitted wall lights in our lounge and hallway, updated our kitchen ceiling lights, and added extra sockets for us. Before starting any work, Matt takes the time to explain everything in detail and offers really helpful, relevant advice. He is also very respectful of our home and always clears up thoroughly once the job is finished. We would have no hesitation in using Matt again.
