“I've been looking for a reliable electrician for ages, and Andy came highly recommended by our painter and decorator. Andy is a true professional, very rare these days: he tells you what he's going to do and he turns up and does it when he says he will. He did a great job for us, explained everything and left the house clean and tidy. Oh, and he's amiable, friendly and polite too... So what more can I say? Highly recommended indeed...”

Highlights
“I am the landlord of a rental property in Birmingham and have used Andy’s services since 2013 for minor electrical works - replacement fittings, electrical safety checks and fault finding. Each time he has responded quickly and efficiently, with excellent communication and fantastic work. I highly recommend him.”
“It was a pleasure dealing with Andy. From the time he came to give us a quote to the time the work was completed, Andy was nothing but professional, polite and friendly. He carried out the jobs I'd asked for quickly and efficiently, and upon finding some faults with the existing electrics he spent lots of time testing all of the sockets to identify the fault and to ensure that the circuit was safe. He went above and beyond expectations and I would recommend him highly.”

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.
Check the electrical registerIn England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations. Confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done. It is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
