## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "An electrical fault at home resulted in RCD tripping intermittently. I looked up emergency electricians on Checkatrade, with little hope that I would find someone available on a Sunday. Smith contracts had good reviews, and I decided to call the listed number. Martin replied and after describing the issue and answering some questions, he came round within 1.5h. He ran thorough checks on the fusebox, supply and rings, pinpointed a fault with the gas boiler and also found a faulty RCD. Martin provides exceptional service, is very professional and friendly. I strongly recommend him. Thank you!"

> "I first met Martin from Smith’s contracts when he came out on an emergency basis to deal with a broken cooker point. I have since used Martin for a variety of jobs including installation of extractor fans, re-fitting of ceiling lights, and the installation of a new fire. These jobs weren’t straightforward but Martin and his team did a superb job. Martin is friendly, reliable, trustworthy, competitively priced and he does not cut corners. He is a tidy worker who clears up afterwards. I will without doubt use Martin for my next electrical jobs and I cannot recommend him highly enough."

> "My bathroom had a condensation problem, so I contacted Smith Contracts to see if they could help. I had a fan installed, the fan is fantastic! The boys were so helpful, incredibly tidy, clean and professional. Thank you again."

## Before you hire an electrician
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- 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.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
