Craig came round to quote and fixed the fan with no charge. He later replaced our Smart thermostat. Knowledgeable and polite, we would use Holmes Electric again.
We had a great experience with Craig. We needed a new socket in a part of the house that wasn't well-connected, and he was able to suggest several solutions. The work was carried out professionally, quickly, and with almost no disruption to our household.
Verified by Checkatrade
Craig installed a new cooker hood and outside security light (replacing existing units) and also replaced two power sockets. Reliable, gave good advice and very neat and tidy work.
Verified by Checkatrade
Craig was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment I made my initial enquiry he visited the property immediately to take a look and provide a quote. Craig was very reliable and did a great job in installing our underfloor heating. Can’t fault the aftercare either - a minor issue with one of our thermostats was resolved promptly and to our complete satisfaction. Communication was great throughout. Highly recommend.
Verified by CheckatradeSecond fix electrics
Craig came back to finish off the second fix electrics on our extension after wiring it a few months ago. He did a great job and we are super happy with the results. He was quick and tidy and we would definitely recommend him

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 8 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
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.
