Darren has been very reliable, offering constant advice throughout his visits . We have a 1930’s house which we have been doing each room up at different times so has been quite challenging but he’s always kept the work to a high quality standard and has been clean and tidy ! Highly recommend to anyone who needs electrical works doing !

Great communication and reasonable prices. Very quick and lovely to deal with! Thank you
I had an emergency with my kitchen sockets going off. Darren was quick to respond to my voicemail late in the day and arrived sooner than expected which was great. He was able to get me up and running again. He was also unfazed by my new rescue dog who was quite terrified by the experience. Highly recommend Darren, thank you.

Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself
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.
