“John was amazing and communicated with us every step of the way. He was very helpful and bent over backwards to finish the electrics in our kitchen in the short timescale we had. His work was very neat, and even little touches like setting the clock on the oven he was fitting were appreciated!”

I can highly recommend JV Electrical. Fast response time and professional service. John managed to fix a thermostat problem without the need to replace the unit, so saving me some money. John’s manner is really polite and friendly, he cares about his customers. Great job.
What an amazing installation I first contacted John about fitting my tv onto my media wall that I was getting built. He then took my vision and enhanced it by explaining to me that I could add some cool and subtle lighting effects that would really take my media wall to the next level. John was super friendly and a very neat and tidy worker that got the job done in a very timely manor and I was very happy with the finish of his work.
The trader was very polite and respectful, also the quality of work completed exceeded my expectations with the amount it cost. Overall very pleased
John is very friendly and trust worthy, he is our go to for all big and little jobs that require an electrician. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, fully recommend!
Had lighting and sockets installed in my new extension, work was complete to a very high standard and was always available to answer any questions I had, I have recommended to a couple of family members already and will definitely be using again in the future. Thank you very much.

John is extremely reliable, professional and knowledgable. They always go above and beyond, and I would highly recommend JV Electrical to anyone!
Very efficient, clean tidy, work to a very high standard, highly recommend,
Couldn’t recommend John more, we’ve used John in the past so when we moved to a property that needed a complete re-wire he was the first and only name that came to mind for the job. He done a fantastic job going above and beyond our expectations once again. He’s incredibly knowledgable and was able to point us in the right direction for what we needed. He’s tidy, punctual and polite and most importantly a great electrician. Will 100% be using him and recommending him in the future. Cheers John

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.
