I had a residential consumer unit replaced. They are a proactive and responsive firm. Good fast communication before the job. The guys who did the work were clearly very experienced and knew exactly what they were doing. They were a pleasure to deal with and I am very happy to recommend.
Verified by CheckatradeReplacement of spot lights across our ground floor with new LED spot lights.
Kevin's team replaced all the spot lights (over 50 fittings) across our ground floor with new LED spot lights. Kevin researched the options available to make sure that the new fittings fitted exactly in the existing cut outs and that they would fit in the narrow ceiling depth. It came down to just one fitting that would work for us. His team were very professional. Reliable, efficient and very tidy. A real pleasure to work with.

Efficient, friendly, sorted things well, and cleaned up afterwards as well!

I always feel like an important customer with Kevin’s company. They make you feel special, listened to and are always keen to do the very best job. Kevin has been doing work for me at my house for over 15 years. It’s always important to have a set of trusted traders in your phone. People you can rely on at a moment’s notice. A good plumber, a great electrician etc. There are so many traders out there, it can be scary, but Kevin and his team are ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. I couldn’t recommend them more, and they also don’t baulk at small jobs either. The very best!!

Kevin's communication on booking a call out was excellent. Tony the electrician was prompt, friendly, knowledgable and speedy when fixing my malfunctioning kitchen spotlight and bedroom ceiling light fitting. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Kevin, Tony and the rest of the team have done a great job for us. They were happy to come back to double check stuff for us and are quick to respond when you need them. Recommended.

Kevin and his team are well qualified and experienced and have a very welcome "can do" attitude. I appreciated the time Kevin took to help source suitable light fittings and his advice. Electrical safety is very important in our apartment building and I have every confidence in the quality of his work.

KD Thorpe did a great job. Got a quote witin a day and the work was carried out when I needed it. The electricians were friendly, efficient and talked through different options on the day. I was really pleased and everything has worked well since they finished the job.
Garden Lighting
The team came in do repair/renovate some existing garden lighting as well as install some new lights. They were professional, courteous and experienced. The quality of their work is outstanding. The job did take a little longer than was initially estimated but the results are fantastic. Would recommend them to anyone doing electrical renovations

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 11 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
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.
