Brad gave a great price and was very efficient with every part of the job would give 5 stars for service.
Brad was fantastic. He was able to provide reassurance by message out of hours and had finished the job within 18 hours. Great communication throughout. We were away from home at the time but had guests staying in our home. They and we were grateful for his professional and courteous manner. Minimal intrusion and a quick worker. He provided one of the best quotes of the electricians we contacted too. We are very happy with the work. We will be using him again and would highly recommend.

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.
