Highlights
“We have been using this company for work at my business and at home for over 15 years, always professional and reliable - also very knowledgeable and won't just do what i ask but make sure we are compliant with regulations which is most important from a business point of view. highly recommended”
“Called arealight to give me a quote for a new consumer unit, happy with the price so proceeded. Very satisfied with end result would highly recommend.”
“We just needed a new bathroom light fitted and a kitchen light checked and re fitted after a flood. Small job for a trades person but a big impact for us after going without lighting in the bathroom for days with an elderly person with dementia in the house. Before the job was even done, I got excellent advice to make sure I got the right kind of light for a bathroom. The job was done on time, to budget and neatly. Such a relief to know we have a professional trades person we can rely on in the future.”

Small job, big impact!
We just needed a new bathroom light fitted and a kitchen light checked and re fitted after a flood. Small job for a trades person but a big impact for us after going without lighting in the bathroom for days with an elderly person with dementia in the house. Before the job was even done, I got excellent advice to make sure I got the right kind of light for a bathroom. The job was done on time, to budget and neatly. Such a relief to know we have a professional trades person we can rely on in the future.
Great work
We needed check of the house electrics. Danny explained what he intended to do. He found a major fault, which he rectified quickly and efficiently. No mess. Very fair price for the work. Will definitely recommend Arealight.
Excellent work
I needed an electrician for a couple of fairly small jobs, including the replacement of a security light. Danny was efficient and tidy and rang to give me an arrival time, which was helpful. He gave me some useful advice and the cost wasn’t too exorbitant. I would certainly recommend Arealight.

Worth checking yourself

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
