Ian did all of the electrics for our new kitchen as well as fitting spots in the hall and bathroom. He was incredibly helpful - was willing to give ideas and suggestions. He encountered a couple of problems but always had a resolution. He quoted a fair price and stuck to it. Really reliable - always turned up when he said he would. Would 100% recommend.

I have nothing but praise for Ian after the jobs he has just completed for me (new consumer unit, extractors in two bathrooms, digital TV aerial and distribution to 3 rooms, power/aerials/HDMI cabling for wall hung TV's, 2 new lights installed). He replied promptly when I listed the job and completed a thorough survey and quotation for the work. Managed to fit the work into his schedule at relatively short notice in order to fit in with other tradesman I had employed. All work was completed to high standard and Ian gladly accommodated late changes and additional work without any fuss. Would definitely use Ian again and highly recommend his work.

I would like to let you know how good a tradesman can be, I had several quotes and visits from several electricians before settling on Ian. He arrived on the time and date we agreed and promptly started work, he and his colleague were both very professional and courteous, they had many challenges whilst completing the full rewire of the house, but overcame them all whilst maintaining a good sense of humour. If you want an electrician that does what they say they will do within the time scales they agreed and above all kept to the original quoted price don't hesitate to give these guys the job. I would again like to thank Ian and crew for all their hard work and would always use them again when I need work doing.

Ian arrived promptly with good communication to tell me he was on his way. I had asked him to remove some wall lights and switch and make safe. He quickly located where the switch was taking its feed from (which wasnt the obvious place), which meant going upstairs removing floorboards and disconnecting it from there. He did this quickly and efficiently with no fuss and completely cleaned up after himself. All done at an excellent rate. I have a couple of other jobs I will need doing and I will have no hesitation in contacting him again. Very pleased and highly recommended.

Excellent service!!! Ian came and dealt with my electrical problem which was a bit more complicated than I thought it would be. I thought his price was more (a lot more) than fair for all the work he did. I thought he was going to charge me more. Very nice and honest person. I was extremely pleased with his service, so much I will be hiring him again next week.

Ian was very helpful and accommodating when this small job (new fuse box job), turned into a full rewrire at short notice. This was due to old rubber cabling being found in the lighting and ring circuits of the house I had just purchased. I needed the whole job done quickly and he completed it to a high standard in 3 days. I would certainly recommend and use him again for any small or large electrical projects.

Ian did a brilliant job conducting the EPC and I have nothing but good things to say - he came for an initial appointment and let us know immediately, that there was more to do than first thought and came back again without charging for the preliminary appointment. Once he started the job, he uncovered more problems but worked tirelessly to sort out the job and always tried to keep the cost to a minimum. He caused minimum disruption and was reasonable about the overall cost of the job in spite of all the hard work he had to do - I would definitely recommend his services to anyone.

I would recommend Ian to anyone as he provided a professional, quality service at the lowest quote I had from 4 quotes. Ian has rewired the kitchen, fitted 3 new double sockets, a new light fitting and connection points to fridge, dishwasher, hob ignition as well as wiring in the cooker and hob hud. I have since used Ian to rewire the whole house as well as fitting new sockets, new light fittings, mains powered smoke detectors and replacing the fuse box.

While he was there I asked him about another couple of problems and he had a look for me. My extractor fan in bathroom had stopped working and he could have told me that I needed a new one but he was honest and said that something was stuck in the extractor and was stopping it working he cleaned it out and hey presto extractor fan working at the cost of nothing. He was a very pleasant man and if I have any more problems with my electrics will certainly phone him again.
