    At last I've found a great electrician!

    Posted 09 January

    Removed our old fuse board and installed a new one in a more convenient location. Price was competitive and work completed in good time. The team were polite, efficient and communicated exactly what they were doing. At short notice they also did another small job for me while they were here. The necessary certificates were received in a timely fashion. Would definitely recommend this company.

    Happy customer and exceptional work.

    Posted 01 January

    I reached out to this company to put some electrics in my outdoor cabin, communication was great and very professional, I felt fully at ease about leaving a key in my key safe to allow them access to my house, upon returning home I was extremely pleased with the work they had done, everywhere was tidy and the work was very neat and just as I hoped for. I will definitely be using this company in the future and would recommend them . Thanks

    Response from 8/5 Electrical Ltd

    Thank you for your review . This customer was very trusting of us and we wanted to show her that by simply allowing us to do our job and going out for the day they could come back to a working installation clean house and a job well done. I don't think there's anything better than knowing that you can just go away and everything has been completed and you have zero worries. Our engineers are vetted so you can be at full ease that you're having professional and courteous people in your property.

    Excellent electricians

    Posted 31 December 2025

    I have worked with Pep for over two years now as a property manager. He is extremely fair on price, very reliable and ensure quick but excellent service. Tenants and landlords are always happy with their top tier service. Tim and Tilley are a credit to Pep also, many tenants have mentioned their professionalism and manners while carrying out jobs.

    ECR report and installation of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms

    Posted 18 December 2025

    Big thanks to Guiseppe and his team, not only for the informative electrical report that he provided prior to our house purchase (with the helpful follow up call which helped me understand things in layman terms!) but also for the follow up work we just had done after house buy. This was for installation of electrical smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in the house. The team were so professional, efficient and tidy. Price was also reasonable, certainly compared to other quotes I got. Would highly recommend.

    Heaters replaced

    Posted 31 October 2025

    I had two storage heaters removed and replaced with more modern heaters. The reasons for recommendation of the new heaters was explained thoroughly ahead of the work and those doing the work talked me through everything.

    The customer was very open to our suggestions, and this really helped to upgrade his old storage heater system for new, modern, and economical solutions.We were able to work around the customer's specific time requirements and get the job completed.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our page.

We have been operating for 15 years in the Cambridgeshire area with a lot of experience in the domestic and commercial sector.

Our primary concern is customer service. We are all too aware of how hard it is to get in contact with most trades and even we experience this as tradespeople.

Our longevity within this business is testament that we are a knowledgeable and trustworthy electrical firm but we think it's our contact and communication with customers set us apart from most others.

We make sure all appointments are kept with customers with text updates and booking systems, our mobile number and landline are constantly manned.

All our quotations are sent via email or text so you have the knowledge that prices are fixed at what is agreed. We cover all aspects of electrical installations and are always happy to help with any enquiries customers may have.

We look forward to dealing with many new clients on Checkatrade and hope to bring our professional attitude to many customers.
