“Was having issues for nearly 5 months with octopus in fitting my EV charger which needed cabling front to back of our terraced house , had 2 engineers out and neither started the job so took it on myself to find a decent sparky , Martyn came out for a look and agreed it could be done, then he booked me in on an available day and he came out and ran my ev cable from front to back no problem , he's a good reliable friendly worker and is well worthy of all the positive reviews on here , if you need an electrician give him a call”

Highlights
“Had an external light fitted and the work was completed to the highest standard, both internally and externally. All work was carried out with the utmost efficiency and cleanliness. I would recommend Martyn to anybody requiring electrical work.”
“My kitchen hood had stopped working so reached out to Martin to have it replaced. It turned out that a hidden switch under the sink had been accidently turned off. Martin came out resolved the issue with no charge, even though I should be charged the minimum call out charge that I was quoted. Thank you very much Martin.”
Detailed reviews
Martyn spent 5 days installing down lights, some switches and new sockets. Was flexible and offered suggestions to improve the plans. Ultimately listened to the ask. Work was neat and tidy. Will use again now.
Martyn did a brilliant job of changing my kitchen downlights from being on transformers to mains electricity. I no longer have flickering lights. He also connected my cooker hood which had nowhere to connect to electric. He solved the problem. He was very polite, professional and left my kitchen very tidy including vacuuming. I am extremely pleased with the job and the price paid and would thoroughly recommend him.
Martyn provided an electrical supply to my newly installed garden cabin together with fitting sockets and lighting to my garage and loft. All work was done in a neat, tidy and professional manner. Throughout the process, Martyn was courteous and friendly and is someone who I would highly recommend.
So Happy with the work Martyn did, fitting my EV charger. Always on time from the initial visit, quote, then to the final fitting of the charger itself. All work was neat and tidy. Such a nice friendly person. I can really say to anyone who is looking for a recommended electrician please give Martyn a call. You won’t regret it. Thanks again Mark.
Would highly recommend Martyn, who installed an EV charger for me. Very professional and communicative throughout. Punctual throughout the process and visited the property to be able to give an accurate quote. Great workmanship and no mess left behind.

Great communication from start to finish. Excellent job. Very lovely and chatty. Cleaned up all debris etc - I wouldn’t have even known he had done any work if it wasn’t for my new spangly EV charger fitted to the wall. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Martyn was friendly from the phone call, he came to provide a quote and was very professional and polite. Work was booked in and completed as stated. Would highly recommend
Found Martyn on Trust a trader and Im really pleased I did. He installed a car charger for me at the front of our house. From quotation to install, Martyn was professional, courteous and reliable. He did what he said he would and installed the cable under the floorboards so you wouldn't know he'd been. Installed the surge protector and connected it to the mains. Very clean job. Am really pleased with the result and we are going to use Martyn again for some further electrical work. Even our Border Collie Max liked him, and thats a thumbs up. Great job and would highly recommend.
I found Martyn very professional when fitting a EV charger for me.I would highly recommend him arrived on time cleaned up after and I am well pleased with the work he’s done.Thanks.
I asked Martyn to install a new plug socket at an older property. Unfortunately, he discovered the wiring was to old to proceed (rubber sheathed wires) and that the property would likely need a re-wire. Due to other work commitments, he was unable to undertake the re-wire himself, but gave me lots of tips for having the work done - all provided at no charge! Martyn was very pleasant, helpful and clearly has a wealth of experience. I would not hesitate to ask him to undertake electrical work in the future.
This is the third occasion I have needed Martyn in the last year and have to say I would have no hesitation in having Martyn do any electrical work on my property. Such is the standards I have witnessed in his work.
Very pleased with the work Martyn carried out (outside lights and new socket outlets) would definitely use him for future work.
Martyn could not have been more helpful. He talked us through all the work and made suggestions, adding extra sockets and lights. The work was done with little mess and promptly. He took us through the whole system once complete. He also checked outside wiring for us and got that working Cannot speak highly enough
Martyn upgraded my consumer unit, installed an outdoor 240V socket and also fitted an Ohme ePod EV charger. I can only echo all the positive comments found in other reviews. Martyn quoted for my job on the same day I made my call. We arranged a date for the work but he was actually able to fit me in a week early! Great! Arrived bang on the (new) time we arranged - always a good sign! Martyn is an extremely nice chap, friendly, polite, very respectful and happy to fully explain the job and answer any questions. My install was professionally completed - quicker than I expected, and Martyn took care to clean up nicely afterwards. Very happy with the results. Being NAPIT registered, you can be confident of a great job, fully backed up with all the correct paperwork and at a very reasonable price too. Martyn will be my first port of call for any future work. Many thanks. Dave H!
Good communications to set up initial visit and date to do the work. Neat and tidy finish to the work, and was accommodating with requests of where to route the cables etc.

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.
