Highlights
“Nigel and Jake have done several bits of work for us over the years. We can’t recommend them highly enough. Always punctual, friendly, full of ideas and advice. They do a thorough and careful job. Very highly recommend.”
“We are repeat customers of Nigel over the past 12 years. He is trustworthy, reliable and professional eith a lovely dry sense of humour. On this occasion it was a small job for him in that our kitchen appliances and central heating fuse kept tripping. I called him at lunchtime and he arrived before tea time. It was caused by water getting into our outside sockets in the garden We have other non urgent jobs which we will book him for. We can't recommend Nigel highly enough.”

Nigel Maxwell was very prompt and efficient. Following assessment and discussion of work to be carried out , he returned the same day and fitted the outside security lights. The final invoice was exactly as per the initial estimate. Will certainly use Nigel again.
Nigel has done many jobs for us, before and since (this was the main one), and he and his son Jake have been wholly professional and courteous throughout, always talking time to explain options and working diligently to get the job done. We wouldn't have anyone else!

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.
