“I had Shaw Electrics do my kitchen and house electrics back in 2019, again to install my shower cable, fuse & shower in July 2025. Darren, Jack and Woody are fantastic, curteous, tidy, polite and really considerate of my needs. They are absolute STARS and we always have a laugh 😊 🌟. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my electrics, thank you all so very very much 😁”

Highlights
“Darren and Jack were great. They arrived when they said they would and were quick and efficient at completing all the jobs. Both were very friendly and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Grace, who runs the office, was brilliant. Kept me up to date with what was going on and she seemed to be on top of things, answering messages almost immediately. Would highly recommend this company and will be passing their number on to friends looking for an electrician. Clean, tidy and professional. So happy I chanced upon this company.”
“Needed a complete garage rewire, with new sockets and lighting coming from the house's main fuse board. Darren and Jack were both super polite, trustworthy and professional. They were really receptive and accommodating as to what was being requested for the rewire. Compared to other companies, I can confidently say they quote fair prices and are transparent with why they fit certain parts over others. I'm so glad I went with their recommendations. Safe to say, if I need any electrical work doing in the future, I'll go straight to Darren and Jack.”

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.
