Detailed reviews
Ben was very presentable, got on with the job in question quickly and efficiently, but discovered he needed a part to complete the job. Arranged to come back on a Saturday morning, 'at no extra charge'. Which he duly did. I have now been presented for an extortionate bill, for a job he was less than 5 minutes in the house for. When I challenged him about the amount, I was told it was a Saturday, (yes - you choose to come then, not me) and he would have to charge me for fuel and labour. So, whilst I have no problem with the work he carried out, I do think he needs to review his honesty costs.
Ben wired our complete Annex which we had converted from a double garage. We supplied Ben with a rough guide of what was required and he gave us some fantastic advice of what would and wouldn’t work with our plans, he then worked alongside our builder and and completed everything to a high standard above and beyond our expectations. Our builder was in fact so pleased with his work that I believe Ben is now his go to electrician.

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.
