They were friendly from the start, spent time to explain how it would all work and answer questions The work was completed efficiently, they came when they said they would and kept us informed of the process When it was done they made sure we were hooked up to our energy company so we could export power to the grid, this was really difficult to fathom so Steve’s help with this was invaluable. I would highly recommend. They did a great job and we are happy with the results

We were really happy to have this small team fit a solar panel system to our house. They are a small local company that we really feel able to trust and give a very individualised service. They were are to cater really flexibly to design what we wanted and were able to problem-solve ahead of any obstacles. As a small team we felt really comfortable with them working in our house, and have no doubt about their expertise and experience. Their price was really good compared to other quotes. Although it is still winter our system is up and running a looks effective!

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 3 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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.
