“Excellent service! After an ongoing issue with my upstairs lighting circuit tripping, Tom attended and carried out proper fault-finding from the start, testing at the consumer unit, then the upstairs switch panel, and finally working through the wiring in the loft to isolate the faulty section. He explained what he was doing clearly, worked methodically, and didn’t jump to expensive conclusions like “needs a full rewire”. He also replaced old junction/connector blocks in the loft to bring things up to spec and improve reliability. Really impressed will use going forward”

Highlights
“I recently had a smart meter install which was unsuccessful and needed to hire an electrician to help get it right. Chris came to the rescue, was very knowledgeable, patient and understanding. He worked with the smart meter installers to ensure that everything was connected correctly and that my economy 7 was working again. He wrote a good report on what had happened which I submitted to Octopus along with a copy of his bill and my complaint about the disastrous smart meter install. Octopus refunded me in full for his invoice. I wont hesitate to use Chris in the future for any electrical jobs.”
“We had various electrical issues in the house & particularly the kitchen lights. Chris and Tom came along and sorted all our issue in 1 day, other than the light fixture in the study as I had bought the wrong one and we were waiting for a switch for the light in the conservatory. However once received Chris came along and sorted these. Great job at a very reasonable price. We have called upon Chris in the past so we know how good he is and is our go to electrician. Our first time to meet Tom and a very nice and knowledgeable lad.....”

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.
