“Sean Cresswell fitted four outdoor lights and two bathroom extractors for us in a single (January) day, completing the job after dark. One of the outdoor security lights turned out to need a small adjustment. He came back to do this within days and with a minimum of fuss.”

Highlights
“Our bathroom downlights suddenly stopped working without tripping a fuse. Sean Cresswell and colleague quickly located the reason (two switches in the loft turned 'off' a couple of days earlier by an inspecting solar engineer). He was friendly, spared our blushes and declined to invoice for his call-out charge. He will be our first choice for some proper electrical work we need to get done this spring...”
“Cresswell Electrics did the work necessary for installation of the tethered ev charging system in conjunction with UK networks. Cresswell Electrics advised on the system required, worked well to the UK networks timetable as well as the issues that arose with the age of the existing electrics. Also extremely helpful with the ev charging set up which has its own quirks. They have done all the work on our new kitchen, upgraded garden lighting systems for us as well as smaller jobs. All the work is done to a high standard. They are professional, punctual and neat, always obliging and pleasant to deal with.”
Detailed reviews
New replacement fuse board and a new ring main. The work was done on the day promised and very efficiently and they cleaned up, were tidy and friendly
I required an electrical supply to my garage. Cresswell completed the work in a timely fashion. Explained what was being done. Answered all my questions and was professional but friendly and tidied up afterwards. They're coming back to do some other small jobs soon. I was kept informed throughout with regard to timescales. Very happy!

Around 4 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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.
