Garry and Phil once again did a cracking job. removing and replacing 2 double sockets and light switch due to removing an internal wall in due course. both Garry and Phil worked quickly, efficiently and cleanly, tidying up as the project continued. I would not hesitate in contracting GES and having further work carried out. Garry and Phil are my go to Electricians any day of the week.Verified reviewerJob location: DH310 Great electrician

Lovely team who were professional, tidy and answered every question we had. From initial contact to completion Garry kept us informed regarding availability, cost. Very reasonable and time of arrival. Fitted a new plug cover and lounge lamp. Completed with no fuss.

Gary was incredibly helpful, came over promptly, arrived exactly when he said he would. Did a superb and very careful job earthing the gas meter - even making sure to avoid making holes in a certain bit of floor that I wanted to avoid. Worked hard finding a fault and gave very helpful, clear and detailed explanation (in words that I could understand!). Fixed the issue and recommended an upgrade to our existing mainsboard. Showed me all the evidence to demonstrate why the upgrade was a wise move. Fitted everything briliantly, was personable, friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend!Verified reviewerJob location: TS2610 Do work on a regular basis for our charity
