Highlights
“Spoke to Declan on Friday of last week, job booked on Monday and completed today. It was only a faulty switch and some wires that had become exposed but was not too small for them to come and look at. Lee who carried out the work was very friendly and a credit to the company. First time we have had to use their services in some time but will have absolutely no problem using them again in the future”
“First class work carried out and fair pricing. Good honest advice and very accommodating.”
“I have used Declan and his team on a number of occasions including a full re-wire during a renovation. Declan and the team are professional, punctual and friendly and go out of their way to help. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”

Charlie and Tyler were excellent from start to finish. They arrived exactly when they said they would, worked professionally and neatly, and left everything spotless. Both had a great attitude — friendly, positive and clearly proud of their work. Very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Hawkes Electrical.
Charlie was quite excellent in the cheery way he installed my elex for garden room: he was punctual, courteous, appreciative and did an excellent job all round: I would- and indeed will- recommend him unreservedly. He said the cuppas I made him were “ the best he ever had.” He cleared up superbly- I was quite sad to see him leave! Please show him this revue- and thank him again- I crossed his palm with a can of cider: it was very well earned! Chris Haslam
A great service from everyone at Hawkes. Needed a Ring floodlight cam fitted and Lee was very professional, explained the whole job before starting and made sure everything was o.k. before leaving. Would definitely recommend using.
A good job - always.
Declan and Chris did a fantastic job today installing an extractor fan and new light (with a wireless switch!). Nice guys. Highly recommended.

I was very pleased with the work carried out … I needed a fuse box upgrade in order for a new cooker to be installed. I will definitely use Hawkes electrical again for any jobs that come up very friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend them
Due to wariness of tradespeople I had accumulated 5 jobs in my home needing an electrician by the time I contacted Richard. Chose him due to on line reviews. From initial contact through to finish he could not have done more to put me at ease. Was punctual, polite, professional and respectful of me and my property. He not only did all the work within the quote but solved another issue for me and gave me advice on use of some electrical items in my home. He did not ask for, nor hint at wanting, a review but I am so happy with my experience I wanted to share it. I would use him again and have told friends about him.
Hawkes Electrical has carried out various jobs in our office and workshop floor. We have been really happy with the service and will continue to use Hawkes Electrical in the future.
Professional, personable, punctual, Hawkes Electrical Services were absolutely brilliant. I wouldn’t normally leave a review but due to the highly exceptional level of both work and communication, I felt compelled to share the experience. From the initial free quote to the completion of the job, I was not only satisfied but genuinely pleased with the work. Even during the agreed job, I added a few unexpected requests, which Declan completed as well. I would highly recommend this both friendly and competent electrician to anyone requiring brilliant service at a brilliant price. Excellent job! 👍
We are very happy with the work undertaken by Hawkes electrical services ltd. And we would recommend them.
I would highly recommended this company, the workmanship and professionalism is brilliant, they take pride in the work they do on top of that they are extremely polite and very nice people.
Hawkes Electrical were used by the company that I brought my garden room through and I was more than happy with the service of both employees that turned up last Friday. They were polite and cleaned up after the installation. They checked where I wanted the socket and I didn't feel intimated asking them any questions.
Great service, professional from start to finish. Would recommend Declan and HAWKES Electrical
Great reliable friendly service. Would definitely recommend and use again.
We had a sudden electrical outage over most of downstairs this morning including all kitchen appliances and a packed freezer. Within a few minutes of calling Declan he talked me through how to isolate the problem which turned out to be the microwave cooker. Life saving brilliant service! I highly recommend Hawkes Electrical Services for both problem solving and additional electrical fixtures.
