    Highly recommended

    Posted 03 March

    Ben was quick to respond to my initial enquiry about wiring a new circuit when we changed from a gas hob to an induction hob. He identified the best route for the cabling so that our recently refurbished kitchen wasn't affected, and carried the work out to a high standard and at a reasonable price. I would use him again and highly recommend him.

    Reliable, thorough and reasonably priced electrician - highly recommend.

    Posted 10 November 2025

    Ben replaced the vents in our downstairs toilet, bathroom and en suite as well as installing a new consumer unit. He was competitively priced, compared to other quotes we received and did a great job. Arrived promptly when he said he would and completed the work with minimal disruption, ensuring he could identify the best solution to any issues that arose based on how the previous owners had set things up. We have since used his services for a couple of other electrical jobs and again he was thorough, reasonably priced and very helpful. Highly recommend.
