“I cannot recommend David highly enough. A no nonsense tradesman who takes great pride in his work. A ceiling light in the kitchen had been masking a wiring fault, complicated further by its 3 way wiring. David persevered and managed to rectify the fault without having to break into the ceiling itself. Very professional and very competitive pricing. Highly recommended.”

Highlights
“David did three jobs for us in one day. All quite tricky. All good. For one with a legacy problem, he came up with a clever solution and installed it with no wires showing. Really good. He'd now be my first call for an electrician. Highly recommend.”
“Had exposed wires to fix and a floodlight to install. David helped out with everything and was flexible with times and dates. Sorted it all out in 10-15min. Would ask him again for help if needed and recommend him for friends.”

I required to replace my outdoor light which was no longer working. I text D T Whelan explaining what I needed later the same day he text me to see when would be suitable he explained what he thought would be suitable and a price which was agreeable the job was excellent and I would highly recommend and would certainly use him again
David was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend his work to others. David was able to work to a deadline that I had due to other work being carried out. He was there when he said he would be, done the job in a timely and clean manner, plus helped with another electrical issue I had on the day of the job. David also took the time to quote another job I am wanting completed in the coming weeks where he talked me through what would be required, and how he has done similar jobs in the past and what the end result was like. Once again, I would highly recommend David.
We called David as we'd tried to wire up a new light. It was trickier than expected, partly as the cables coming from the ceiling weren't all coloured correctly (house was built in the 90s). None of the lights upstairs worked as a result of our attempt. David figured out what was wrong, wired the light correctly, and gave us some pointers for the future. The work was done quickly and competently, and David was able to fit us into a tight weekend schedule too. We would recommend him to anyone requiring an electrician.
From first contact David was on the ball. He was professional, punctual, knowledgeable and helpful. He changed all my light switches, sockets and pendants. No mess was left and done a great job.
David responded to my job quickly and came round the next day to supply and fit an extractor fan unit. David is a good electrician and I would use again/recommend.

David responded promptly to my initial enquiry, and arranged an inspection later that week to cost the job. Once he arrived he offered a few solutions for our loft lighting, explaining the pros and cons for each. Ultimately we went for the option he recommended which was cheaper but still offered the best lighting. I was also cheeky and got him to price another job while he was there. He was able to work round our schedule and was able to fit in the job after a week. Showed up promptly and kept me in the loop at all times, worked without issue and cleaned the area after finishing. Even put a little sealant around the socket to give it a nice appearance. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent service. Fantastic customer service. Reliable and efficient. David provided us with advice on fire alarms and checked all our electrics in order for us to gain certification for renting out house . Highly recommend. Will certainly use David's services again. Lesley Lang
David was magnificent. Texted me when he would arrive and was here in time. Worked away installing the extractor, tidied up afterwards and talked me through everything. Perfect workmanship and really friendly. Would recommend him without fail.
Clear, quick, and helpful communications to get started, then a fantastic efficient and high standard job completed on the day. Highly recommended his service.
Did a fantastic job! Very thorough and assessed the problem straight away. Arrived within half an hour of phone call. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend David to complete any electrical job needed.
David’s communication from first contact was excellent. He arrived to give me a quote when he said he would , and from then he was in touch with a date to start, and checked a few days before that it was still ok for the date selected. He was carrying out the checks needed for letting the house out and installing smoke detectors, supplying me with all the info needed as a new landlord. I would absolutely use him again for any electrical work needed and would not hesitate in recommending him . Thanks David
From start to finish David was a pleasure to deal with. Communication- Excellent Reliability- Excellent Speed of Service- Excellent Cost - Very Reasonable Couldn’t fault in any way. A great service for the Hamilton area
Had David out last week to do some small jobs in my house and rewire my garage. Great communication before and after the work was complete. Exactly what you want - Came out as promised and work done to high standard. Would not hesitate to contact David in the future.
David has been out a couple of times to carry out work for me. Each time, I have been impressed as he is very reliable and considerate. He arrives on time, is friendly and completed the work efficiently and to a high quality. Would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to call out again.
David carried out an EICR test on our new property that we were concerned about some of the wiring in. We had good communication with him from the start about when he would be arriving. He understood our concerns and carried out a very thorough check/test on the wiring and the extensive number of sockets/switches/lights. Both him and his colleague worked swiftly and efficiently and managed to carry out the work others had quoted a day and a half for (and at double the cost) within just over 3 hours. He found some small issues, which he fixed for no extra charge. I would definitely recommend David and will be using him for any future electrical work.

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.
