Highlights
“Mr Talbot is excellent and reliable. He and Steven arrived at promised time, identified the problem with my oven but also checked the appliance further and found a second serious fault which condemned the oven. With Christmas approaching (and trade holidays) I had to move fast, purchase another oven, and had the supplier put it into back of my car (Mr Talbots suggestion). I contacted him and they returned to install the new appliance, doing all the removing and lifting work plus electrics. This whole job was resolved in three and a half hours. Excellent service and fair pricing, I recommend this firm completely.”
“Paul was so helpful and understood my needs exactly. He communicated with me all the time so I felt confident I knew what was happening. He was sensitive to my budget and worked to save me money. He is careful and neat. An excellent service.”

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.
