“Craig and Luke fitted eight downlights in the kitchen and three new double sockets in the living room (also requiring an RCD to comply with current regulations). As there was no ceiling access to fit the downlights, Luke worked very carefully to ensure as little remedial work to the ceiling as possible would be needed post fitting. We found Craig to be professional, arriving when he said he would and also friendly and approachable. The team left everything clean and tidy following the work. We would absolutely recommend Craig and his team.”

Highlights
“A small but essential job to check a socket at my mother’s house which had shown a fault. Craig accommodated this short notice request despite being very busy and he was very helpful and accommodating. Arrived exactly when he promised and carried out thorough and professional work. I would definitely recommend him and as and when we need electrical work at our own home, this is the company I am going to.”
“Craig and his team recently completed a full rewire on our house. Really happy with everything, very quick to respond to my initial enquiry and quote and we felt we could trust him with the job. Completed the work in two days and worked around our furniture. House was tidy when we returned and the disruption was minimal considering it was such a big job. Any little issues resolved very quickly. Would definitely recommend, thanks guys.”

Warmly recommended. Phil & Sonia, Bury
I'm very pleased with Craig and his team. They were friendly and did an excellent job. They worked extremely hard to complete a rewire for us in time for us to move in even though the job threw up several unexpected complications. I felt I could trust Craig completely with the job.

Craig provides flawless service, his communication was brilliant throughout, he turned up when he said, work was done to a high standard and everything was left clean and tidy.
Job was done quick and efficient. Recommend 100% !
Craig and the team were very polite, arrived on time and completed the work to a high standard. We would recommend them to anyone and use them for future work. Thank you
Craig was professional from the start, incredibly knowledgeable as I had been having a problem with a light socket and also with the whole mains supply to the circuit board, as well as wanting an outside light installing. He fitted the light really quickly, then managed to rectify a really tricky cross wiring issue from previous building work that had been done on my house, he fixed the light socket as well and fitted the new dimmer switch. Overall, really pleased, excellent prices, friendly, professional, would recommend to everyone.
Unable to upload picture of work as now moved property! Craig was very knowledgeable and professional. Easy to talk to and explained the problem in simple terms for us. In our previous property we had very old electrics but this didn't deter Craig. He fixed the problem in less than an hour, provided the materials needed and charged more than reasonable rates. I would recommend to anyone!

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.
