Highlights
“Have used Dr Sparky on more than one occasion as they are prompt and reliable. They undertook the electrical testing which confirmed new consumer units were needed. Happy with quotes provided and I also asked for new sockets too. Quick turnaround in getting appointments booked for the jobs to be done. Matthew was very friendly, prompt, and completed the tasks in a neat and timely manner. Very pleased. I have now received updated electrical certificates as well as the Building Regulations Certificate of Compliance. A truly reliable company to deal with.”
“We required a new extractor fan for our bathroom (including disconnecting the old one), replacing lights in two rooms with LEDs and an outside power socket. The work was completed to a high standard, they are always polite and tidy up throughly after they've finished. It's great to have local and reliable tradespeople.”

Really pleased and can't fault the service in any way.
We had an old under performing extractor fan replaced in our bathroom. The entire experience with Doctor Sparky was as good as you could wish for. The new fan is in, working perfectly. No fuss throughout, even allowing me to continue on my work calls as it was done. thanks

Great service, as alway
I’ve been using Doctor Sparky for several years because they are an excellent team of experienced, professional, friendly, trustworthy, efficient, helpful and tidy electricians. They carried out a number of electrical jobs for me in early December (installed ring door bell, change a light socket, change a light fitting and add a new light socket, install a new power socket and disconnect old/install new double oven). Everything was carried out to their usual high standards. I highly recommend Doctor Sparky.

I was very impressed by the service of Doctor Sparky. I got a few pieces of electrical work done in my house, like having some new sockets and lights fitted. The work was done well and the place was left very tidy. They were also on time and the process to make an appointment was very easy. I'd be happy to use them again.

Being elderly and living on my own it was very reassuring to use Dr Sparky for a second time. On both occasions the two young men were very polite and professional and most unusual in this day and age any debris was cleared away by them.

I would give these guys an amazing 10/10 from the moment I contacted them I felt like I was in safe hands. The response time was really quick and the work was completed within week. I was updated the entire time and the job was completed with care and safety at all times. I will be recommending this company to all my friends and family and they are now stuck with me as I will always use Doctor sparky My cat even liked them!!!

Dr Sparky, was on time, friendly, professional and very thorough. They spent the time to reassure us of the safety of the electrics at our property. I certainly would recommend them to anyone needing their service. We found the service fair on price for what was done
Verified by CheckatradeElectrics to a new shower and laundry room
Dr Sparky Ltd was recommended to us by the company providing us with a wet room. We required them to provide the electrics for this refurbishment. From estimate to completion of works the company listened to our needs/wants and carried out the work to a very high standard. Also we would like to thank them for their courtesy, consideration, tidiness, all completed in a timely manner. Highly recommended.

Were easy to deal with either via Checkatrade messenger or via text / phone call. Quoted in good time and turned up on the agreed date and time to carry out the electrical inspection. Were very pleasant to deal with on the day and informed me when they needing to switch off the electrics and left everything neat and tidy when they had finished. Delivered a very detailed and thorough report at the original price quoted. It arrived via email attachment about a week later and they even provided an extra note to summarise what the report was telling me. Very pleased with the service.

Great team, could not recommend highly enough.
Harry and the Dr Sparky team were great. On time, polite, and got the job finished on time and to the spec asked for. They also spoke to me during the works so I would understand what was happening and why. This gave me a huge amount of confidence in the team and the works being carried out. I have 2 house cats that cannot leave the property and they were great at making sure they didn’t get out, which again helped me feel at ease. When the jobs were completed, they also tidied up so well you wouldn’t even realised that they were there. Very happy, and couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Verified by CheckatradeRe-wiring of lights, creating extra plug sockets, chasing walls.
Harry and the Team at Dr Sparky were great. In time, polite, and particularly careful with not letting my cats out of the house as requested. Talking me through the plans and what they were going to do and why was very helpful and left with confidence. Could not be happier with the job they did, and they cleaned up so well after you would barely know that they were there. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Great work, efficient and neat
The Dr Sparky father and son team were excellent, friendly and efficient. Two or three minor jobs were quickly completed then they installed an electrical point in a bathroom. The extension wiring was complicated and could have been intrusive. However, they were very innovative and careful and the wiring was completely concealed, providing a safe, neat and unintrusive extension. I was very impressed by their care and effort. Will use again.

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.
