    GES the local firm for local people.

    Gary is a professional. He explains what he is doing in simple terms. I have confidence in his work which I need as a landlady. He is fair with his pricing. I recommend this firm unreservedly.

    Gary and Phil have carried out work on many occasions at St Laurence Church. Their work has always been professional and dependable. Gary keeps in touch at all times about work and meeting up. I thoroughly recommend General Electrical Services

    Very good electrical company

    This company does all electrical works in my 3 shops and my home. Nothing is too much trouble, they’re very helpful and keep me informed of everything going on all the time. They even tidy up after themselves
