Peter Westlake-Webb and Matt Pearce were very helpful and proactive with their advice and suggestions even though in the end the problem had to be sorted out by the manufacturer under their warranty. I would certainly call on them again if the necessity arose in the future.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
I contacted Peter late on a Thursday asking for some advice on our solar panels as we had just purchased a house with a system already in place. We weren’t sure if it was working or what to do. Peter’s reply was almost instant, and he offered to come out the following morning and have a look for us. Both the gents that came out were very professional and extremely helpful. Within minutes the system was up and running again. They were then kind enough to email and check up the following day that it was still working. We are now going to use the company to replace and renew part of the system.
Great team. Installation was quick and very professional. Would highly recommend for any renewable energy installation

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

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.
