“John did a great job fitting us new down-lights throughout the flat, as well as replacing our consumer fuse unit and fitting new smoke, heat and CO2 alarms to ensure the flats EICR compliance. Would definitely recommend!”

The lighting in my kitchen was inadequate. Celing lights on a curved track did not illuminate the right places and wete expensive to run. Under- counter lighting was short strips plugging into wall sockets. Rahilly devised and fitted a solution which is neater, more effective and cheaper to run.

John fixed my extractor fan with such efficiency and professionalism! An absolute example to other traders in London. He also didn’t charge a lot, amazing guy! I definitely recommend!
Verified by Checkatrade
Work was performed quickly, diligently and efficiently as always. What impressed me was John took the time to explain what went wrong and how it was fixed. I cannot recommend highly enough!

I have a tricky, old ex-council property in SE17 which needed an EICR, fire alarms and fire safety certificate. I’m so glad I found John, he was very professional, knowledgeable and carried out the job to the high standard. I’ve had problems with poor standard of work in the past so it’s a relief to find a reliable and trustworthy person like John.

John came to hang some new lights. From start to end the process was easy and smooth. John was very responsive to messages, scheduled the works in quickly and was punctual on the day. He did a great job hanging the lights and also made sure we were happy with the look and positioning at each stage to get a perfect result. Will definitely be using John again. Thank you

Carried out an EICR for us. Very happy with the service and expertise. He is very approachable and also did a few extras for us. We will use him again.
EICR
John was communicative and thorough and fully sorted out the non-compliance issues for the flat's EICR
Verified by Checkatrade
Not helpful. Wanted to expand the job beyond the one that I specified.
Verified by Checkatrade
John gave excellent advice on what we needed and didn’t try to ‘upsell’ additional work. We are very happy with the various pieces of work. Johns supplier was problematic which meant a few short delays but he communicated well throughout so the impact was minimal. We will definitely use him again in future.
Verified by CheckatradeElectrical advice, installations and regulations
John is the electrician I use for my rental property. He makes sure the property is up to current regulations, keeps in touch during the work and is happy to deal with the tenants direct if needed to carry out the work. His firm is professional in turning around quotes and invoicing. I've used his company for several years and he is a friendly guy who I trust to do the job and he knows others who can if it isn't to do with electrics!

Very helpful, quick and efficient
Verified by Checkatrade
Experience with John was really positive. Communication for initial inspection and booking appointment was quick and clear. On the day the work was done to a high standard. We were very happy with the service.
Verified by CheckatradeFuse board refit and socket replacement
John was super quick in responding to my call to seek his help with my electrical issues. On his first visit he fixed the socket that was a problem and identified that the fuse board needed updating. John is very personable, professional and shares his knowledge and expertise most well. He did the work quickly and, I could tell, rigorously. He's very easy to have working in one's home and great in communicating procedures and work to be done in layperson's terms. This gave me confidence in understanding exactly what needed to be done and what was going on in any given moment.
Verified by Checkatrade
John installed multiple indoor plug sockets, outdoor lights and laid wiring underneath the pavement, very professional service, clear, polite and cleaned up well after himself, will be using again if I need!
Verified by CheckatradeReplacement fuse board, EICR and lights installation
John was really swift at replying and arranging all visits and works. His work has been of really high standard and he is clearly very knowledgable and experienced. 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.
