    No power to all electrical sockets down stairs

    Posted 03 June

    I phoned Brighter Electrical Ltd to see if they could sort out my problem of no electric to any power sockets in my downstairs living area. I spoke to Matt who arranged a time and date and promptly tuned up at the time he specified he quickly set about the job in hand quickly finding the fault and repairing it . I also had other jobs in the garage that needed sorting out and he did these for me as well. I would not hesitate to employee Matt again for any electrical work around my house.

    I contacted Matthew on Friday morning and he was able to come over already the same afternoon. He identified a faulty cable after an hour’s investigation. The re-wiring was completed the following Monday. Excellent workmanship, timely, tidy, friendly.
