“I found Steve in a rush after we found an entire outlet hanging from the wall following some previous work done by a previous company. No longer trusting this company, Steve was really helpful giving advice for the short term, and then followed this up by checking work on a visit a few days later. While it was primarily touching up work, we're really happy with the fixes that were put in and that the work looks more professionally done - our only regret is not using Steve sooner! Definitely would recommend.”

Highlights
“I fist contacted Steve after dealing with an unscrupulous electrician who tried to use high pressure tactics to get me to engage them for further services after they conducted an EICR. I should have used Which in the first place. Steve was quick and clear with his communications with me, detailing what needs to get done, and itemising the costs fully. On the day, he got everything done quickly, to a high standard, and had all the tools and parts needed. Parking was a hassle on the day, but he made the effort to get that sorted, which I appreciated. I will definitely be calling Steve again whenever I have any electrical issues.”
“Steve arrived when he said he would and did quite a few jobs for us including wiring in a Ring doorbell and updating security lights. Unfailingly pleasant and helpful,I have no hesitation in reccomending him and he will be my fist port of call if I need electrical assistance in the future.”
Detailed reviews
Steve arrived punctually to look at our light issues in the bathroom and garage. After doing some investigation he quickly established what the problems were and explained them clearly and concisely. Steve has excellent communication skills and most importantly he listens well. He is professional, friendly and inspires confidence. We were given an approximate estimate of price ahead of the visit which managed our expectations and we thought he was competitively priced. We would definitely use his services again and would have no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends.
Steve from Skay Electrical Ltd came on time and carried out all electrical works to the house over two days. He removed the old fuse box under the stairs and replaced it with a new fire rated fuse box, which he supplied. Although, it took him 2 hours for fault finding to repair cable fault on the lighting circuit. He finally managed to resolve the problem. He supplied and fitted two new security lights one for the rear external wall and the other for front external wall. He took the power from double socket in the small box room and supplied and fitted one switched fused isolator switch. He fitted two wall lights in the conservatory and one ceiling light in the kitchen provided by us. He re-positioned the washing machine socket into a cupboard beside it in the kitchen. Also supplied and fitted one extractor fan in the bathroom. All works were carried out as agreed on the schedule and on budget. He left the place tidy afterwards. Steve was friendly and helpful in explaining the work that needed to be carried out. He also had good communication skills. We will definitely be using Steve for any future electrical works
My wife and I were very impressed with Steve’s work in our house. He arrived when he said he would, got on with the work steadily and thoroughly, explained issues that arose in a clear and patient manner, and kept to the estimated costs. He has a very friendly and cheerful manner. I would totally recommend him to others; we in fact plan to ask him to return to instal an induction hob in the near future.
I used Skay Electrical after being let down by another company. I was given a rough estimate of the time it would take to complete and a price on the phone (which is useful for budgeting-no nasty surprises). The electrician was prompt, courteous and tidy. The work was completed to a high standard. I will definitely be using them again.
Steve was on time, professional and got the job done swiftly but very effectively. Would recommend to anyone in need of an electrician

Very professional service from initial contact via telephone to completion of job on site. Great customer service from Steve. Would not hesitate to recommend and will definitely use their services again if needed.
Steve came at the time he promised, did the work which was the installation of an illuminated bathroom mirror cabinet within the time frame he predicted, and he charged the quoted amount. Very happy with the work and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.
Steve replaced two smoke alarms at an hour’s notice. He was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient and I would be happy to use his services again.
I have had electrical drop outs which have baffled a number of past electricians. Steve’s “can do “ attitude was so refreshing—it was based on his experience and his enthusiasm to solve all mysteries. His determination and perfectionist approach was what I needed and I can now relax!
We had Steve from Skay Electrical Ltd around again, to sort out various little jobs that were building up around the house. We found it reassuring that he is a NICEIC Approved Contractor, and he previously installed an up-to-date consumer unit for us. This time he put in two new sockets in the lounge, and repaired a third; He put an extra socket on our washing machine & dryer, as we had them both on a plugboard, which Steve advised not to do. He put up two new light fixtures in the kitchen and lounge, fixed a light in the back room which was not working, and changed a hall cord and shade. Amongst various other little things, he removed three smoke detectors and replaced them with a mains powered heat alarm in the kitchen, and two mains powered smoke alarms, downstairs and upstairs, wireless interlinked with three radio frequency bases, which we had wanted to have done for some time. He was friendly and efficient, and also checked the electric shower that had been put in by someone else. He worked very hard, and kept to the quote. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs any electrical work done.
Steve has done several jobs for us (new extractor, new sockets and a new thermostat) and is a really efficient worker with a very pleasant manner. Fully explains options available.
Steve from Skay Electrical Ltd. was called when we had an emergency with a light switch. He came within half an hour and fixed the switch. He was very friendly and we could see that he was highly knowledgeable about electricity. We decided to have him put a consumer unit in, which we had been meaning to have for some time. Steve explained the difference between various consumer units and gave us good advice about which one to have. On the day, he worked hard all day, and after installing the consumer unit, he did a general check, to make sure everything was working as it should. We are very pleased to have found him and are engaging his services again to do some further jobs for us.
Steve rewired my house for me and brought it up to standard. He advised me every step of the way and showed me the best solutions to my issues. He is charming and helpful, and there is no time wasting. He did the work very neatly and with a minimum of mess. he issued to necessary certificates. I am very impressed. Recommended
Steve of Skay Electrical Ltd did an amazing and reliable job for us. He first checked the electronics of a property that we were about to purchase. His report was very detailed and clear recommendations were made. We went ahead with the purchase and employed his services to upgrade the mains box which was outdated and an immediate hazard and also to fix a few issues that he had highlighted. We took a while to give a review because we wanted to make sure everything was working perfectly and so far all seems great! We will definitely be using Steve/Skay Electrical ltd again. Thank you Steve!
After a fraught month without an oven, problems because the wiring was not right for the oven and an electrician that I had no confidence in I contacted Skay Electrical Ltd. It was a joy to have Steve doing the work. He did a little bit of rewiring in order to install the double oven and the hob. He found solutions to problems he encountered and nothing was too much trouble. He was also going to replace my extractor fan but found that the one I had bought was not right. He offered to buy the correct type for me and he should be coming to install it later this month. I found Steve very helpful and professional. He was friendly and easy to get on with. The price he charged for the work was very fair. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

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.
