“I cannot praise Ian more highly. My mother's house was badly damaged in a flood, just as we were about to complete on a sale. Ian, assisted by various tradespeople who he recruited and managed, have put the house back together again in just two weeks, meaning the sale can go ahead as planned. We are extremely grateful.”

Highlights
“We gave Ian a call despite us needing the first fix to be carried out quite quickly as our previous electrician had let us down numerous times, he was more than happy to come out on a weekend and give us a quote and carry out the work the following week. Professional and incredibly friendly, He worked with us when we changed our minds on a few things and added things in and helped advise us on what would work in certain places too. Also checking what colour we wanted for everything from sockets to bulbs. If I could give him 100 stars I would he’s done an incredible job, would highly recommend”
“Ian quoted for a car charger installation. Recieved the quote and the work was carried out within a week. Excellent work, went above and beyond to get the cable routed to my fuse board. Very neat installation, wouldn't hesitate to use him again for any electrical work.”

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.
