    Someone I recommend to everyone

    Richard is the electrician I recommend to everyone. He first worked for me when he rewired my house in 2020 and every time I've wanted to add any extra plugs or lights since then I always go back to him. Brilliant Job, reliable. Will help me think around jobs to achieve my aims. My siblings and I are very happy repeat customers. He has done work at all our houses.

    Great Job!

    R F Electrical Services were able to help me out when I needed work doing quickly. They got everything done in two days and didn't mind when I kept finding more things that needed doing. They were friendly, helpful and did an exemplary job. I would recommend them to anyone.

    Highly recommended professionals

    Rich & his colleague are really professional and ensure the job is done efficiently, effectively, and safely. Incredibly helpful, not at all intrusive whilst undertaking work, and go over and above to ensure the client is happy. Highly recommend.

    Fuseboard / Consumer Unit Installation

    Posted 01 March

    Excellent electricians

    I can highly recommend R F Electrical Services. They completed an EICR report for my rental property, fitted a new consumer unit and replaced some ceiling spotlights. They provided me with all the necessary paperwork afterwards to ensure my property is compliant with the relevant regulations. They arrived on time, gave me an accurate estimate for the work and were friendly, professional and tidy. I will definitely be using them again.

    Electric Fire Installation

    Have known Rich for about 4 years and he is now my regular sparky. Really nice bloke. Had a new electric fire that needed installing and Rich fitted us in at short notice doing a great job. I would have no issue recommending him if you need a decent electrician.
