    Electric Vehicle Charger Installation

    Posted 13 November 2025

    5* highly recommended

    Duncan was quick to come out to talk me through all my options. Quotes arrived promptly with all costs and options clearly broken down. Work then carried out quickly and cleanly, then explained how new bits on the system worked. Excellent friendly service, 5* experience

    Brilliant for all electric work-our go to person!

    We’ve had Duncan back so many times during renovating our ground floor to do all sorts of jobs. As someone who has been burnt in the past with poor work, Duncan just sets your mind at ease. Incredibly knowledgable, professional and really creative in his solutions as well. The latest piece of work was upgrading our consumer box and I just let Duncan get on with it as he always does such a thought and great job. Thoroughly recommended!

    Look no further, Duncan is the best electrician!!

    It is no superlative to say Duncan is easily the best electrician we have ever used. Brilliant guy to deal with, polite, pragmatic and reliable. We needed a consumer unit bringing up to date and the house electrics tested, he talked us through the options and worked exactly to what our needs were (even our fussiness over what fuseboard we wanted based on it being on show in our kitchen!). Install was super clean, timings bang on. Paperwork done on the same day. If you need electrical work done, Duncan is your guy.

    Lighting Design

    Posted 09 May 2025

    Lighting design, EICR and generally making previous bad jobs safe!

    Duncan is fantastic to work with - we had him in to do an Electrical Inspection Conditions Report. He found a load of issues with the previous installation (many of which were visible to us as well as we had taken some plasterboard away as part of another project). He set about fixing them all in a methodical way, all the time making sure we were kept up to date. His knowledge and experience is excellent and he gives me the utmost confidence that everything will be done properly when he does it. We're having him back for lighting design and installation too - thanks Duncan!

    Lighting Design

    Posted 20 November 2024

    Remodelling Kitchen Lighting - plus TV power & cable management

    Duncan recently remodelled our kitchen lighting and installed a power socket & hidden conduit for our TV cabling. He listened carefully to what we wanted, considering the layout of the room and how we use different ‘zones’ - and sourced all of the materials needed to suit the look and functionality that we were aiming for. Duncan was fastidious in tackling every aspect and we are extremely pleased with the end result & aesthetic finish, now ready for us to have decorated. Duncan was friendly, considerate, consultative and very tidy - and it was a real pleasure to have him working in our home.
