Highlights
“I rang on the recommendation from my sister who had used them, as I had a problem with my electrics. Jim and Ryan came with the hour sorted the problem and also came back 2 days later and fitted a new garden light for me. They we're prompt, polite, and I was pleased with the price for both jobs. I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and family.”

I contacted Jim to arrange an urgent electrical safety check of a property that I was purchasing and he came and performed a full EICR within 2 days. Was really helpful in explaining the results of the survey over the phone and sent a thorough email with photos and was happy to be contacted for other questions or issues. Came back and rechecked the work once it was repaired. Would highly recommend their services and would definitely go back to them for any electrical work.
Would highly recommend for nay job. Arrived on time, left everything clean and tidy and were super efficient with the install.

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.
