Detailed reviews
Coulter Electricals is a very efficient and trustworthy firm. Their staff are prompt and pleasant and the work is of high quality. They always clear up after the work and check that we are satisfied with the installation. We have had several electrical jobs carried out and would highly recommend them.
Installed a new consumer unit and a new circuit for a complete re-wired kitchen
I had a car charger installed by Coulter Electrical Contractors and cannot rate them highly enough. They were happy to provide advice on type of charger and positioning when they did their site visit, checking what our requirements were and taking time to explain the different types and options. Once we'd agreed to the work, they turned up when they were booked, were polite and friendly, and cleared up after themselves!
From the moment the team arrived to remove the old kitchen through to wiring in the new circuits and then the 2nd fix we knew we were in good hands. They were very flexible and had to work around other trades and their timekeeping but took all challenges with a smile and re-organised their day to accommodate others. Nothing was too much trouble and the team were very clean and swept up and removed debris as best they could after each visit. Highly recommended and whilst their initial cost appeared to be on the high side they delivered and were well worth the investment and a credit to the industry.
Always on time. Always carry out work efficiently. They are informative, helpful, and considerate. They always clean up after completing their work.

Coordinated and professional service, thoroughly executed and good value for money. Would definitely use again. Polite and well trained staff who knew exactly what to do.
We were very impressed with CEC. They arrived on time, clearly explained the work needed, and completed the electrical work efficiently, leaving the work area clean and tidy. They were also patient in answering our questions and ensuring we understood the process thoroughly. We would definitely recommend them to others.
CEC really helped me out in my hour of need. I needed some electrical items PAT tested, a really small job. This friendly and helpful team went above and beyond to help me out with a really tight deadline. I would highly recommend them and I will certainly be using them again.
We used this firm to have electrics installed into our garage. Very happy with their work, came round quickly at a time to suit us and work completed quickly too. Overall very professional would use again.
CEC did a great job for me installing an EV charger and new fuse box. Very helpful, on time and great workmanship. Would recommend to anyone.
Excellent work, reliable, helpful advice and informative, clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend
Used for kitchen refurbishment and new fuse box and appliances fitted.
Had an electrical fault in my kitchen. Called CEC just before they closed and amazingly they were able to send 2 electricians the same afternoon/evening. They spend two hours fault finding and fixed the problem. The team were really friendly and efficient, and tidied up as they went. The bill was very reasonable and service was great. I know with CEC the repairs will meet all the necessary regulations. I'd recommend them - they're great!
Professional and friendly service on quite a challenging job over several days. Always reliable. Would thoroughly recommend.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this company for electrical work.

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.
