“The electrics in the house have tripped with no pattern on a number of times since August 2022. Steve undertook a forensic investigation into the potential electronical fault, identified issues, provided practical recommendations to address them and addressed them at a reasonable cost in a very short timescales, working around our availability. Very professional and personal, would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for an electrician. I've known Steve for 6+ years, and no job is too small. Sorting out our oven, hob and lights in our living room on different occasions over the years.”
