    I contacted Matt with a general enquiry. I received a very quick call back and booked a date to view the job and was provide with an estimate for the work which I went ahead with. The work was carried out very efficiently with care taken to protect the surrounging area and clean up afterwards. Matt provided a very professionally service and I would highly recommend.

    Excellent Service

    We recently moved to Warsash and needed to get a number of electrical jobs done. We've used Matthew at Brighter Electrical previously and again it was a job well done at a very reasonable price. Works included fitting external Ring security cameras, new power sockets, testing all the other sockets and appliances in the house. Matthew also installed CAT6 cabling neatly around skirting boards and through a wall to enable a WiFi Mesh hub to be located in a more suitable location than the router. Matthew friendly, professional and a pleasure to deal with. Recommended 100%.
