    Very polite and very thorough doing a difficult fault finding job

    Paul was very thorough in doing a difficult job fault finding. We only had a few lights downstairs and electric upstairs. The electric kept tripping out and he was very tenacious in finding it. It took 3 trips and was it eventually tracked down to some loose wires in the loft and a wrongly wired light switch in the garage. He was very polite, and so were his team. They took their shoes off before entering the house without being asked to. I will definitely use Switch Electrical again.

    Garage wiring

    I can’t fault Paul and his boys. The job was to add electric & WiFi to our off site garage which was quite a job. Everything was completed to a high standard. We did have to call him back just to tidy up next to our neighbours house which was to bury a cable but everything was done very professionally and curtiously. Would definitely recommend

    Paul was all I hoped he would be. he responded promptly to my initial inquiry, we sorted out an appointment straightaway, he turned up when he promised, he did the job expertly and efficiently, and he left everything neat and tidy. He was professional, polite and friendly.

    Replacement consumer unit and safety checks carried out.

    Excellent service from Paul and his team. Our consumer unit was in an awkward position, so was upgraded and moved to a better place. Safety checks flagged up a problem which was dealt with efficiency and we asked for an extra socket which was installed in an convenient place. All in all thoroughly impressed with their work and will use again for other jobs.
