“Dan came round to us to review and quote for several jobs in the house - 3 smaller and 1 larger (replace consumer unit). Two of the issues he resolved straightaway, and was more than happy to do so. We found him a super chap to deal with, very knowledgeable and straight with us. We can recommend him, and will probably be arranging for the company to complete work once we have their quote. Thank you Dan.”

Highlights
“I had a problem with power sockets. I was offered a next day response and he came exactly when he promised. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. The fault was diagnosed quickly and promptly fixed. Excellent service all round.”
“After having a bad experience with another electrician, I contacted Matherson to come and fix my Mum's oven. They were so helpful, professional and understanding. Sorted the problem and came back when it turned out a child lock was on the oven. Reassuring, polite and completely brilliant, will definitely use again, thank you!”

I was hugely impressed by Mathewson Electrical from the first contact to the job completion. They were easy to contact, quick to respond, helpful, professional and did a superb job.

I could not recommend highly enough, Dan was able to recommend solutions to problems, best for quality vs budget etc. Very reliable and felt confident leaving a key for him to access the property while I was at work. Was great with our dog too.

We asked Matheson's help recently for work on light fittings and a short-notice repair to a boiler's electrical circuit. They are quick to respond, well resourced and very expert. Thank you Dan and John for the brilliant service!

Very polite and friendly, efficient and fitted the lights with care! The electrician was very patient with me as I couldn’t decide how low I would like the dining room light over the table Overall very good experience and would highly recommend

I was desperate for help when all my storage heaters failed to heat up overnight when it was freezing outside. Dan took the trouble to offer advice even though it was unlikely that he would be able to do the work. On this occasion the supplier finally agreed to carry out the repair but I will definitely contact Matheson Electrical if/when I need any electrical work doing in the house. It’s very reassuring to know that some businesses still really do try to help and give the personal touch to solve a problem.

Cannot fault the Matheson team at all. Everyone I've met has been polite, professional and frankly unfazed by our busy house! They're excellent at what they do and leave the place spotless once theyve finished. 100% would recommend using Dan and the team.

Excellent, these guys turned up and did what they said they would do when they said they would do it. I met 4 members of the team and they were all great. Good to see young men learning their trade with experienced guys. The house is old and listed and they were sympathetic with the structure of the property. Thank you very much
Verified by CheckatradeShort notice call out to find electrical fault
They attended my house at very short notice to find and fix a fault that was making our electrical sockets inoperative. Dan and his colleague were professional, polite and very efficient. They found and fixed the fault after quite an involved fault finding process. My wife and I were very impressed and hope to have them back to complete other electric work in the house in due course. Very highly recommended.

I can’t praise them enough. We had our house rewired. When they came out to give us an estimate.They did explain they might have to chase the wires into the walls. . We told them that we were going away on holiday soon . They suggested that if they did it while we were on holiday it would save us a lot of money because they didn’t have to make sure every thing was working and safe each night when they finished work. We agreed. Whilst we were on holiday they sent us a video of the work they had done . There was no mess and they didn't have to chase the wires in. So happy with their work.
Verified by CheckatradeAdditional plug sockets and sorting out sockets that did not work.
People were very professional, ran into a couple of problems regarding how the cabling would go - they sorted out the best route and managed to make it work. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was suitable and they made sure that you were happy with whatever they were doing before they made any changes that would be visible. Work was completed to a very high standard would highly recommend.

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.
