Anonymous5.0 / 5 ·

John from S.O. Electrical Services installed my EV charger and was absolutely brilliant. Friendly, knowledgeable and gave clear advice that saved me money on unnecessary items. As a first-time EV owner I had lots of questions, but John reassured me throughout and explained everything clearly, including how he’d safely set up the consumer unit. Work was clean, neat and tidy, and he even helped with the app setup in the evening. Great aftercare too. Highly recommend!

S O Electrical carried out some electrical works for us and the service was excellent. John was very professional throughout, communicated clearly at every stage, and provided transparent, upfront pricing. The work was completed efficiently and to a high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend S O Electrical.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself

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.
