Very polite helpful and job was done quickly- also gave recommendations on hob switch location - will use again when needed ??
Peter Gollent from Common electrics was punctual. The first thing he done was to lay out clean dust sheets which for me was a big plus. He is an extremely polite and Competent electrician progressing the work in a clean efficient and professional manner. I could not have ask anymore from him. I would without any hesitation recommend this guy.
