Highlights
"Nathan was brilliant from the outset. He got in touch as soon as I placed the enquiry on the website, despite it being late, and he arranged to do a quote the following day. His quote was very reasonable for the extent of the work required and we agreed to proceed. He arrived early this morning and worked hard all day to get the job completed. He has done an excellent job which I am delighted with. He was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to have in the house. He will be our 'go to' person now if I need any further electrical work doing and I highly recommend him."
"Very professional. Big job done to a great level of quality. Very reasonable price. Totally recommend"

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.
