I had a faulty dimmer switch that needed fixing and I am really pleased with the service provided. He quickly identified the issue, explained clearly what had caused the problem and carried out the repair efficiently. The dimmer is now working perfectly. Professional, knowledgeable and straightforward to deal with. I would definitely recommend his services.

Excellent Service With Great Communication And Prompt Attendance
Declan was able to talk through the problem with me, suggesting what could be done and arrange for one of his team to attend within the hour. The problem was a hob not working in a retirement rental property and the special circumstance was fully understood and the need to liaise with management at the property. The fault was found, wires reconnected and hob tested to the satisfaction of the tenant and myself. Cost was very reasonable with only the initial call out fee as a charge. Very happy with the service. Many thanks.

Highly recommend
Declan was super helpful in recommending solutions to some mould issues caused by condensation in the colder months in our 1960s flat. He installed a heat recovery unit, replaced the bathroom fan with a humidistat fan and also did our EICR testing and certificate. We've used Declan numerous times and he's always very responsive, informative and helpful. We wouldn't use anyone else and can't recommend him highly enough.

Reliable & top quality
I've used DB electrical a couple of times now and both times the service has been excellent. Declan is responsive and helpful, and clearly takes pride in a job well done. Both times he's been happy to do a couple of extra small things around the flat (e.g. replacing light fixtures), and both times he's made a point to leave everything as clean and tidy as possible. 10/10, can't recommend enough.

The DB Electrical team were excellent. They arrived within a few hours of me reporting a fault (a tripping ring circuit with no obvious problem appliances attached), and it was impressive watching them track it down and bypass it with some smart reconfiguring of the house circuitry (no intrusive work or recabling required). They clearly knew what they were doing (even giving me a tuition on the basics as they worked!), and the price of the work was extremely reasonable. Highly recommended!

Upgrade of fuse box, sockets and switches
The team was on time and carried out the work as specified. Communication was clear. I was shown how the fuse board worked. They tidied up before they left. I received the Certificate promptly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DB Electrical.

DB Electrical came to fit a new ceramic hob for me. They arrived as arranged and completed the work quickly, politely and for their quoted cost. Declan was a pleasure to deal with and did some additional work which was not envisaged without any complaint. I can thoroughly recommend DB Electrical and they will be my first call for any future electrical job.
Customer recommends this business
Efficient as always
The communication from start to finish was excellent. Booking the appointment was easy, and I received the certificate quickly after the inspection I would highly recommend DB Electrical for anyone needing an electrical certificate. They are knowledgeable, reliable, and provide great service.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
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.
