Highlights
“Really pleased with service from start to finish. Reece was really helpful, we had bought the wrong counter tops, he explained why, and explained what we needed to get. He was happy to answer our questions. And the price was very fair, we had some other quotes that were considerably more but we felt Reece and GJ Electricals were the more knowledgeable ,friendly and ultimately reliable service. Would definitely use them again.”
“Can’t recommend highly enough. Had a power cut having drilled through a wall. Spoke with Gareth on the phone who provided a quote immediately and was at my house within a couple of hours. Really efficient service. Very professional, and once the power was restored he helped with the project I had been trying to do before I had the power cut - completely unprompted. I will be using this company for all electrical issues going forward.”
“Gareth came out to quote for the work on the same day i called him. Attended on time and called later that evening with a quote for the work that was reasonable. Offered to do the work within 48 hours and provide all materials. Attended 2 days later and did an excellent job for the price as quoted. Excellent 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.
