Fitted new shower great job highly recommends
Verified by CheckatradeNew sockets
Had 2 bedroom sockets installed and one in the garage. Single socket changed to double. Great communication and was able to come do the job within a week of initial call. Good pricing and good job done.
Contacted Ben for a quote. He turned up when he said he would. Sent us a quote which we accepted and agreed a start date. Ben texted us to confirm if still OK to start and was punctual on the day he started. He had to chase the walls for which he used a special power tool with exhaust dust removal. There was very little mess everything was done with the greatest care and respect for our property using a laser level and spirit level. Left the job clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend him and will be using his services again
Really pleased with what Ben did , would not hesitate to recommend Electric care .

Very through and felt at ease throughout. Installed a doorbell and smart thermostat, explained how to use everything, cleaned up any mess that was made and took away all rubbish. Couldn’t fault the service.
Verified by CheckatradeFantastic, Honest, Reliable electrician, WILL USE AGAIN.
Came to my property in Horninglow a couple of months ago to remove a old house alarm and install a front porch light on my front door. Very presentable, offered good advice on a variety of electrical issues and left the job very clean and tidy. Good communication and will be using him again in the future. Say yourself the hassle and choose this guy.

Ben was very helpful and would recommend to anyone.
Ben carried out the electrical installation on a new build for me in 2019 and I have used him for various projects and maintenance work ever since,have recommended to other people and had good response on completion of their work Very competent with all electrical work and would have no reservations in recommending him whatever the job
Verified by CheckatradeCall out - tripping electrics
Unknown issue with electrics tripping - Ben arrived with good time, located the issue and isolated it. Will recommend!
Verified by CheckatradeThermostat advice
Ben couldn't have been more helpful, our thermostat got wet and stopped working, rung Ben for some advice and he told us exactly what to do, just a case of buying the same again and changing the fuse as it had blown, and he didn't charge us a thing! All sorted, really appreciate the advice and being fair with us - thank you!!
Ben was recommended to me by an old work colleague. He was very thorough with his estimation and explained the process from start to finish. Due to the nature of our business (nursery school) he had to come out of normal working hours and was happy to do so. The quality of Bens work was first class and he has been able to help me over the phone with a separate issue I had at the building. I highly recommend Electric care.
Electrical fault
Ben was great from the start, he arrived within 2 hours of contacting him and got to work straight away. Very knowledgable and explained everything to us. He fixed the problem quickly, very fairly priced, nice bloke, wouldn’t hesitate to use him in the future.

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.
