“I just wanted to say Grant did a really great job fixing the bathroom lights and exhaust fan. Communication was spot on the whole way through. The work itself was done to a high standard, and everything was finished nicely and on time. I would definitely recommend him and would happily use his help again in the future.”

I had some new sockets installed by Grant and I was very happy with the work. Everything from initial contact, through Grant visiting to assess for a quote and then the work being done was really positive - he turned up when he said he would, everything was done really efficiently and tidily, and the price quoted was very reasonable. Laidlaw Electrical would be the first company I would call if I needed any electrical work done in the future.
Verified by CheckatradeFitting a new consumer unit plus other electrical work
We have been delighted with the work Grant completed at our property. He is extremely reliable and an excellent communicator whose work is of a very high quality. He installed a new consumer unit, separated some circuits, installed new lights/sockets and organised the wiring in our cellar to ensure it was safe. I would highly recommend Grant.

Have been using Grant since we had our first property back in 2008. We asked Grant to replace and fit 2 old fittings with new ceiling fans / lights. We asked Grant’s advice in advance about the weight of the new fittings and if they’d be suitable. Grant replied quickly, and offered his advice. We then arranged a suitable time and date. Grant was prompt and efficient and priced fair. As always happy with the quality of work.

We recently had Grant come in to replace the overhead lights in our office kitchenette, and he did an outstanding job. He was punctual, professional, and efficient from start to finish. Grant made sure everything was safely installed, cleaned up after himself, and even took the time to ensure the lighting was just right for the space. The new lights have completely transformed the area—it's brighter, more inviting, and much more functional. Highly recommend Grant for any electrical work—he's reliable, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with!

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.
