“I called Daniel for emergency repair as I lost power on all sockets around the house. He talked to me in a reassuring way and asked for a photo of the fuse box. He called straight away after receiving the photo and talked me through the easy fix over the phone. He didn't charge me for the timely help and has been great to deal with.”

Highlights
“Absolutely brilliant and reliable company. We're a homeless charity and urgently needed someone to look at our cooker as it stopped working while we tried to cook lunch. They came as quickly as they could, were super friendly and were able to do a temporary fix so we could at least finish cooking for our guests. They were very quick in providing us a very reasonable quote to fix the issue and came at our convenience. Very friendly too! Can't recommend them enough.”
“After having a new bathroom fitted I needed a new extractor fan fitted, electric mirror amongst some other small jobs. The service was friendly, considerate and very efficient. I would certainly use them again the next time I need some electrical assistance.”

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 18 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.
