I called in the morning of the 30/8/22 and spoke to Billy. He made the appointment for that evening after 6. He arrived very promptly. He left at 11.15 that evening. He initially had a problem trying to find the reason to the electrics tripped off. He was very persistent and eventually found the issue underneath my kitchen cupboards. Managed to get everything back working again. He was polite . He tidied everything up and I can't thank him enough. I would certainly recommend this company.

Detailed reviews
Brilliant service from a Billy , Called him 7 am although he could not get to me before 6pm I booked due to how helpful he was and I just had confidence in him . Turned up on time and also kept me aware he was on his way and would not let us down . Went over and and above checking everything not just the fault We had a break in ring main which a drill had gone through this was buried in the wall .Getting late however Billy digs in to the plaster come up with a solution to re make and cover the repair which amazed me . Completed the job just did not expect the level of service brilliant !!
Billy and Shaun are brilliant. Their work is excellent. The service is very responsive and they ensure that they clean as they go. Their communication is brilliant and their attitude very professional. We have used them before and will use them again. Would highly recommend them. Thanks for a great job lads

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.
