These are the individual reviews we hold for Durham Electrics & Fire Ltd, including the highlights above. The 83 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
In August, I lost power and called Plus Heat insurance, who appointed Durham Electric. After 3 days, their engineer eventually arrived but couldn’t find the fault, didn’t allocate enough time, and left the system in an unsafe condition. After weeks of poor communication and no follow-up, I hired a local electrician who fixed it within an hour. Durham Electric failed in fault-finding and customer service, leaving my home unsafe. I cannot recommend them due to their unprofessionalism, lack of communication, and inadequate service.

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.
