“Quick to quote and get the job done. Gave great advice so I could achieve what I needed. New consumer unit, some additional rewiring, spur for boiler, outside sockets and RING spotlight, signed of with EIC and part P. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend I will also use again. Punctual, professional, tidy. Contact first for any electrical work in Colchester. I can’t thank Paul enough.”

Highlights
“PNS Electrical were the first call and Paul was able to attend at very short notice. Very punctual and very efficient. Works were urgent due to loss of power with vulnerable parents in the property. I couldn’t have hoped for more. The power was back on in a couple of hours and there was even time to tidy up and push the hoover around. Paul even offered to come back and finish a ceiling repair if I couldn’t manage it myself. Brilliant. A life saver in the literal sense. Highly recommended.”
“Paul was great; friendly and reliable. He turned up on time, communicated well and completed all my required work quickly and for a reasonable price. Would 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.
