“Ash has been brilliant, helpful, reassuring, communicative and patient - even though there was a long gap between our initial quote and getting the work done, as soon as I got in touch with Ash a couple of months later and close to Christmas, he sprung into action and got us booked in. Louie did the work thoroughly and without disruption and left everything tidy. Wouldn't hesitate to use these guys again! Thank you.”

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.
