    On Time, On Budget and Highly Recommended

    Excellent service from start to finish. Matthew completed the first and second fix electrical work for our laundry room, garage and external lighting on time and on budget. Professional, reliable and always approachable, with a friendly demeanour throughout. Communication was clear, workmanship was of a high standard, and everything was left tidy at the end of each visit. I would not hesitate to recommend.

    Garden Lighting

    Posted 23 May

    Checked wiring in garden as suspected not up to standard and placed double external socket.

    We were expecting the new armored cable to just run under the bark chip to the new socket, R1 asked for a spade and dug a trench to bury the cable and restored the area after, you wouldn’t know the work had been done. Found an issue with the wiring talked me through the problem and the fix went to the wholesalers to get the part and fixed it on the day.

    LED Lighting

    Ceiling lamps installation

    Can’t recommend Matthew enough! We needed help replacing all the ceiling lamps in our flat, and he did a fantastic job. Many of the LED lamps were quite fiddly but Matthew was efficient and clearly very competent. Super flexible and friendly as well, and he tidied-up everything before leaving. We will definitely call Matthew again for any future needs. Thank you so much again!

    Workshop, garden and kitchen electrics

    The work I needed involved a number of different elements but 'R1 Electrical Installations' were able to do each job carefully and professionally. The main work involved fitting new lights and power points for a workshop, they did this efficiently and made sure everything was safe. They also fitted some exterior lights to the house, one sourced by them and the other two I sourced (they came back to fit at a later date so I had time to source lights of my choice). All work was done perfectly.
