9.67 EICR and fuse box replacement
Posted 10 August
Contractors arrived promptly, and carried out the work in the described time. Communications with the office were very good. The pricing was transparent and the work was carried out for the quoted price. Happy with the quality of the work.Verified reviewerJob location: SE155 Great Electrician, Poor Transparency
Posted 09 August
The electrician was excellent – friendly, knowledgeable, and someone I’d happily recommend. Sadly, the company’s hidden charges and poor transparency let the experience down. Extra fees for receiving an EICR in under seven working days were never mentioned upfront, and a £50 parking charge felt unreasonable. What was agreed verbally and by email didn’t match the final bill, so I wouldn’t use them again despite the great on-site service.Verified reviewerJob location: SW9Response from Cre8 Electricity & Plumbing
We are shocked at your review. As yet we have not received payment from you for the extensive report that we have delivered back to you, despite our chasing. Our terms/prices are completely transparent, included in all communications and verbally.

Hassan was very helpful to arrange time and payment method. Tristan was very skilled and kept me well informed. Very thorough and accurate completed work.Verified reviewerJob location: SE2710 Excellent electrical service (EICR and rewiring)
Posted 11 July
Dan, Kevin and the rest of the team were superb. We originally wanted to get light fixtures changed but it was soon seen that the wiring was not safe. The team quickly came up with a plan of action to help rectify issues with our wiring and other bits (EICR done as well). They were able to complete the work quickly and to an extremely high standard. Throughout the process they were great at communicating about what needs to be done and why and always very tidy. I cannot recommend them enough.Verified reviewerJob location: SM1Response from Cre8 Electricity & Plumbing
Thanks for the kind feedback, it really does mean a lot to us. We always try our best to deliver a great service and are glad that you're happy.

Cre8 Electricity and Plumbing.
As NICEIC approved contractors, we pride ourselves on good reputation, great customer service, honest and professional advice. We currently have a team of 9 engineers, so can be very reactive.
Our engineers are fully qualified, and all works are carried out in keeping up with the wiring regulations.
All our engineers are polite, courteous and understanding at all times, with vans well stocked with most basic items frequently needed in reactive works, meaning most jobs can be completed there and then. We promise to keep mess to a minimum and tidy up after all works.
