First class service

We used RCP to install downlights in several rooms. The service and end product was first class in every respect - professional, courteous, punctual, home left clean and tidy, and a high quality installation. We were left very happy - probably the best experience we’ve ever had with a tradesperson of any description. Very happy and will use for all electrical work going forwards.

Helpful and quality work

RCP were really easy to deal with and completed work on time to a high standard. Rob was really helpful when completing a EICR on our Victorian property. He gave great advice on what the next steps could be, and ways to help make sure the electrics were safe as we began home renovations. Steve, who completed the requires works, was efficient and considerate. He advised against some unnecessary additional works and was clearly keen on doing the best job rather than the most lucrative. On all occasions Rob and Steve were timely, considerate, and friendly. Will use again when needed.

An Electrician you can trust. Again and again.

Rob Prior, who runs RCP Installations Ltd, has been recommended to me around 15 years ago and he has carried all electrical jobs in the house since. From a new high-voltage cable & fuse box for a new cooker to lighting and sockets. Rob and his team are very reliable, efficient, and never leave a mess behind. And above all, they clearly know their trade - everything always works. Rob recently carried out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) as part of us selling our house, and I can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking for electrical work done well, at a reasonable price, and alays delivered with a smile.

Excellent service throughout

RCP could not have been better - highly professional and at a reasonable price. The work was carried out with the minimum inconvenience and I would not hesitate in recommending them for any electrical work.

Electrical check in loft

Rob undertook an electrical review of some old work done in our loft-it had been difficult to get other tradespeople to do what we specifically wanted. Inspection was carried out with explanations and any remedial work necessary for an EICR will be done shortly. Rob did the work efficiently and transparently.

Amazing attention to detail

Rob came to provide us with a EICR and remediate our fuse box and add some plug sockets as we recently moved. I would not hesitate to recommend rob to anyone needing any Electrical work or advice, he was thorough and polite and explained everything clearly to us. A fantastic experience!

Always reliable good work

RCP Installations, led by Rob Prior have done several jobs for me over the last few years. These included the replacement of failing light switches and light fittings and the disconnection of a dishwasher. The quotes were clear and reasonable, and the jobs were done on time, price and very well. The electrician who did the work was knowledgeable and helpful. I will certainly use this company again when I need an electrician.

Excellent response

Rob got straight back to me following an emergency problem just before Christmas, which was fairly easily resolved temporarily by phone under his supervision, but there was obviously something amiss and we decided to get an inspection. Steve was absolutely great, identified a few problems and came to fix them at a later date. Everything about this company is very professional, reassuring, any query is responded to. I am glad to have found them and will certainly recommend.

Shower shocker sorted

I moved into a new house this year, and a previous owner (who had been a bit of a bodger) had had a shower installed with very dodgy looking wiring in it! The shower needed replacing, but no plumber would touch the job with the electrics as they were. I sent Rob Prior a photo and he emailed straight back to tell me all the issues he could see, and gave me a rough idea of what it would cost to rectify the situation. I was very reassured by his clarity and prompt reply. He wasn't the only person I'd approached, but he was the only person I got to look at the job, as I could tell from his email that he was interested in safety, and doing the job properly. When he came to spec the job, he listened to my concerns and suggested a couple of suitable ways we could route the wiring so that it would be safe, without being obtrusive. His price was reasonable, and his communication was very good throughout. Rob sent Steve, one of his trusted electricians, to do the work. Steve arrived on the dot of 8am, and was very thorough and kept me in the picture throughout. Not only are these guys great electricians, but they are lovely people too. I found Rob's company through WHICH trader, so I knew that this company is WHICH recommended, and I have in turn recommended Rob and his team several times to friends and family since they came to do the work. Peace of mind, and a good job done - that's good value in my book.

Problem with Interrupted Power Supply

I contacted Rob about the electrical problem we were experiencing, particularly as it affected the cooker. Rob was great, easy to talk with, efficient, and, in view of the urgency, managed to find time to get to us on the same day. He arrived when he said he would and sorted out a fix for the problem without any drama or delay. I am happy to recommend RCP Electrical / Rob.

Punctual and efficient

I have used RCP electricians on two occasions, and both times Steve turned up promptly on the agreed date. He carried out the work to my satisfaction and gave advice on several other matters when I asked him. I found him very pleasant and easy to deal with. I would have no problems in recommending then.

Best partial rewiring one could wish for!

Rob and Steve from RCP Electrical Installations provided excellent service and honest advice. I initially reached out to Rob for a full rewiring of a 3-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, but he assessed the situation and deemed it unnecessary. This advice saved me a significant amount of money. Rob offered a detailed quote and suggested budget-friendly alternatives like surface-mounted sockets for the kitchen, which will be rebuilt in a few months. Rob and Steve were adaptable throughout the project, accommodating minor changes as the work progressed. Despite my tight timeline and coordination with other tradesmen, they ensured everything ran smoothly. Steve, who carried out the work, kept me updated regularly, making sure I was satisfied with the progress. The kitchen trunking was particularly neat, and Steve also did additional installations when I requested them. The total cost for the whole job came to approximately £5K and took 6 days. I highly recommend Rob and Steve for any electrical work. As first-time homeowners, my girlfriend and I greatly appreciate their honesty, professionalism, and high-quality service. We will certainly reach out to them for any future electrical projects.

Fitting new smoke alarms and new electric sockets

I was really grateful to find Rob. He explains what needs to be done, gives you an idea of cost and arrives on time. He leaves your home clean and tidy and it is lovely to find an electrician who you can trust and who knows what he is doing. I would always use him for any electrical work.

Electrical Installation Condition Report

When an EICR was required at short notice as part of selling my property, I was pleased that Rob was able to respond quickly. He arrived on time and explained what the task entailed. I was very pleased that he was able to remove an obvious hazard and that his information increased my safety awareness. I will call on his firms again should I require an electrician in my new home.

Happy customer

I would highly recommend RCP installations, having used them for a second time now. My electrics recently tripped out twice and I rang Rob in a panic. He kindly took the time to explain (correctly) what he though the problem may be and said he would send Steve to have a look. Steve arrived at the arranged time and quickly diagnosed and repaired the fault. This involved lifting floor boards to access a cable but he took care not to cause any damage or untidiness. He is also very pleasant and helpful. RCP installations are fairly priced, will quote for work beforehand and there are no hidden extra charges. Can't praise them enough.

Electrical checks to sockets circuits

I had some electrical issues in March 2024 and got in touch with RCP following the recommendation from my cousin who had some electrical work done in his house. On the day Stevie did all the necessary checks and was very professional, reliable and trustworthy. It was very reassuring to have a prompt response from Stevie when I called him three days after his visit. I would definitely recommend RCP. Thank you so much Stevie and RCP.

Reliable and trustworthy electricians

I needed to get work done quickly to be able to rent my flat out, and after a bad experience with another electrician, RCP were great. Rob was really clear and reassuring on the phone and came round quickly to look at what needed doing. They ended up saving me hundreds of pounds as some of the work recommended by the previous electrician was actually unnecessary. They carried out the work that was needed efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy. All round great to deal with and highly recommended.

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 register
In 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.
