    Excellent Company

    I contacted R1 Electrical to carry out 2 jobs for me. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They responded almost immediately to my initial enquiry and updated me constantly. I have had dealings with many trades people over the years and this Company are certainly one of the best for communication, pricing and reliability. Don't think twice about using them

    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.
