"Absolutely amazing both Gary and Joe. Even with the challenges they faced in removing the old system that was embedded in the wall. Both Gary and Joe maintained their calmness and worked together as a team ensuring I was satisfied. I would definitely recommend them without any hesitation. Highly professional and well focused. Thanks GJ Electrical."

"Joe and Gary turned up on time and completed the jobs quickly. They were polite and tidy. The only glitch was the figure agreed which I understood included VAT did not, hence was 20% more than I had anticipated."

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 register
In 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.
