Highlights

John was very helpful and knowledgeable pleasant and polite and he turns up on time and he’s very efficient and we will definitely recommend and use again

AnonymousCheckatrade5.0 rating

John got back to me very quickly and was able to provide a quote, advice on the light fitting and a flexible start so arranged for next day. He turned up on time and was extremely knowledgeable and professional with his work. The previous fitting was challenging with some questionable wiring but it was all sorted out and now very happy with the finish. Would have no concerns recommending and in fact have already got another job with my kitchen lights getting arranged.

Verified by CheckatradeTotal re-wiring.

I would throughly recommend John to anyone who needed any electrical work done. He was knowledgeable and professional throughout, he helped me to plan out what I was needed and he accommodated my slight tweaks adding in usb sockets in the bedrooms and lounge. John was diligent and hardworking, keeping me updated as the work progressed. Even when I was unexpectedly taken into hospital! Getting the house totally re-wired three weeks up to Christmas could have been a stressful experience but John made it as stress free as possible and I am more than happy with the result. Thanks John.

Have used John twice now, once for some major work and again for a bit of an odd job to do with a ceiling fan. Super friendly, on time and great service throughout. He even saved us some money where he could, all work carried out was explained in detail and really went the extra mile every time. Also great with the dogs, and a lovely guy to have a chat with. We wouldn't even consider using anyone else.

John has conducted a rewire across our whole house. He was very diligent in planning to minimise disruption and was prepared to go above a beyond on tricky areas of the house. Very happy with work and will have no issue using John for future work.

We had an EICR inspection after moving into a new property by John, who was very hospitable and quick to provide relevant reports. We were very happy with johns willingness and patience to share his knowledge and talk through plans we have for extra lighting. As a result we will be using John for future electrical work.

I called on John to look at a problem with the wiring of an electric shower. He fitted this job in a day after I had contacted him, to minimise the inconvenience to my household. He could see quite quickly what had caused the burn out and set about fixing the problem. He worked competently and explained what he was doing to fix the problem. Having used this company before for work on my kitchen refit I had no hesitation in calling him with this problem. John is very polite and tidy and punctual and I highly recommend him and have no hesitation in calling him for any future issues.

I contacted John based on a recommendation I saw on the local Facebook group - I’m getting an EV and wanted to chat about installing a charger. He came out quickly and was extremely polite and easy to get along with. He’s also highly knowledgable and quickly worked out the best way to manage the install (awkward house layout, so not straightforward!). The quote was thorough and issued within a couple of days. Sadly I couldn’t use him in the end as the EV Co later told me they had their own service. However, if that hadn’t been the case I’d have given the business to John without hesitation.

Used JB Electrical previously and now again today. Perfect job, clean, tidy, turned up when he said. Trustworthy and personable. Got charged what he said. I can't recommend JB Contractors enough. If you need electrical work doing you won't be disappointed - be assured. Highly recommended.

John was an absolute superstar - did all the work (and some extra fiddly little jobs) on time, under budget - and the original quote DID NOT include the extra jobs. In addition, you would hardly know he'd been here after he'd finished, very tidy.

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 register
In 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.
