Kevin is an actual electrician! He is qualified, knowledgeable and skilled. He worked quickly and diligently for 3 days to complete the job (EICR, replacing outdoor cabling, installing lights and sockets, installing outdoor sockets, replacing the fuse board and bringing all the circuits up to date by ensuring we have RCD on everything). The work is of a very high standard and I am delighted by the end result. Kevin was very polite, friendly and helpful whilst he was here. Kevin has also done work for every house in my street and we all highly recommend him!

Kevin has done quite a few different electrical installations for us. I wouldn’t go to anyone else now. He is professional, personable, fast and efficient. We would highly recommend him.
Excellent service from start to finish. They installed a new consumer unit quickly and efficiently, worked very cleanly, and explained everything clearly. Professional, tidy, and reliable, highly recommended.

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.
