    Emergency Electrician Service

    Posted 05 May

    what a find !

    My wife called Home security systems NW on a Friday afternoon as I was away from home and some circuits had blown in the house and the trip would not reset. Phil arrived very soon after and was unbelievably helpful, very knowledgeable and skilled. He identified what circuits were effected and was able to carry out basic fix to allow the fridge freezer to be powered and other essential power needs. Phil only charged £70. The next day he emptied cupboards provided access holes and completed the repair and fixed the water leak that had caused the problem, from 8:30am to 4:30 pm £300 amazing

    Blessed to have found such a great electrician

    Phil was super responsive and was able to come out the same day our shower broke. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and came back immediately when another issue occurred. He left our place very tidy considering he had a lot of work to do. A reliable, honest and reasonable worker, will be using Phil again if needed!

    With a prompt reply and show up on the same day, Phil, the attended engineer demonstrates the professionalism. He solved the problem very quickly and effectively, he was also willing to provide the valuable comment to my enquiry.

    Above and beyond

    Fitted 2 security cameras.. Phil came up with solutions in addressing a difficult angle to capture via security camera. He then sourced, cut and painted steel post to fit camers on whilst blending it in with environment.
