    Electrical Contractors

    Safety check and some remediation work.

    The team carried out some remedial work for a poor installation done by a different contractor. They did safety checks, changed some socket plates, added lights and some new sockets. Communication was good and they turned up at 8am when they said they would. Some of the work completed I didn't find satisfactory. This included adding a 3 pin socket for an oven that needed a 20A DP as it is to be hardwired (the oven was there next to the socket), adding a dishwasher socket that was too low to fit the plug in. They also damaged our kitchen plinth. The EICR provided is also questionable.

    Adding new sockets, lights, hardwired video doorbell. Relocated lights and sockets

    Terry and his guys did an amazing job doing an overhaul on most of our sockets, lights and a few switches. Very honest, friendly and helpful. We are extremely happy with the work they have done, they managed to do a lot less cutting out than expected and overall an amazing job. Will definitely look to use their services again if we need any work in the future!

    Fault finding for a lighting circuit that kept tripping. C8 were really nice guys, explained what they were doing through the whole process and work well to find the fault and rectify with minimal disruption. Very professional and knowledgeable, with clear depth of experience. We would definitely use them again!
