Highlights
“Posted a job last Friday. Decided to use 240 as the reviews were good & he was local. After a quick chat to discuss what was required Steven told me he could do the job on Tuesday and a price agreed. Tuesday morning, Steven called to advise he was on his way & arrived shortly after. The new thermostat was quickly replaced and Steven left after checking that everything was working well. FIRST CLASS SERVICE STEVEN. THANK YOU.”
“I had quite a spotlights that needed replacing as well as a new cooker point and sockets in an old cottage. The work carried out was to a very high standard. Will definitely use them again.”

Prompt response and fair price for work required to fit 2 x new light fittings. Arrived in good time with very happy, helpful manner and completed job quickly and efficiently. Will happily use again in future. Thank you very much

Came within the hour to get the freezer back on line and check the electrics were safe even though it was early Sunday morning and then at my request left the main job until first thing Monday morning as we was in a good position to leave it and not ruin either of our Weekends any further. Arrived first thing Monday as promised and proceeded to fault find and resolve with no fuss or bother, moved stuff about by himself and was courtesy and tidy throughout. Icing on the cake was a very reasonable invoice at the end. Would not and will not hesitate to recommend to everyone.

Verified by CheckatradeOutside light fitting
Steven was a most professional and able electrician. He gave us good advice about our new outside fittings, arrived in the appointed day and worked to get the job done in one day We would certainly be glad to use him again.

Steve came and gave us a quote. He came two weeks later and carried out the work. Very pleased with end results, was very polite, tidy and a quick worker. Will definitely be recommending him to friends and family. A job well done.

Steven came straight round to fault find a issue we had with the upstairs electrics tripping. Within two hours the fault was rectified and all electrics were up and running again. Steven was polite, friendly and professional throughout. Plus the quote was extremely reasonable. Highly recommended.

Excellent

Steven arrived on time with all fixing and fittings, he remembered exactly what was required from the quotation and set to work quickly. The works were completed and Steven walked me through how the new electrics interacted with the fuse board . All works were tested and the work area was left clean and tidy . Steven is a highly professional and skilled electrician , he was a pleasure from the quotation through to finished works . Highly recommended.

Very pleased with the work carried out by Steven. Would definitely recommend.

Would recommend Steven again. Work carried out successfully, quickly and to a high standard. Even from the quote he came across professional and experienced - suggesting a (better) alternative no other electrician did.

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.
