It was quick and concise and when he promised he would do it between 15-30 minutes, he finished it in less than 10 minutes. The installation process is a success and I am satisfied on how things turned out to be. Overall, a great tradesperson/electrician and would definitely reccomend it to anyone who wants a fast but meticulous approach on any problems they might have.

Great communication and flexibility to meet my busy schedule at last minute. Very speedy work with minimal mess. Umair went the extra mile to test out different bulbs as the bulbs I had were flickering. He went and got the bulbs from the store - great problem solving and customer service. I was worried but now the light looks and works great, ready to show off! Many thanks again.

The trader was very professional, communicative, turned up on time and provided plenty of advice beforehand as well as a fair quote. Id recommend him to anyone and will most definitely use him again if required.

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 register
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.
