    Thorough and reasonably priced

    Posted 3 days ago

    I used Cre8 for a boiler inspection and Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) after moving into a new house. They identified some faults with the aging electrics and gave me a reasonable and thorough quote to get them rectified, which included a new fuse board. I went ahead with using them for the works and am very happy with the results. Would thoroughly recommend using them. I will certainly consider them first for any future works

    Great work!

    Posted 23 January

    Had Dan over today to put in three light fittings and refit some downlighters in our bathroom. He did a fantastic job - arrived promptly, carried out the work to a great standard and with no fuss. Polite, professional and really knew his stuff, explained everything as he was doing it. Cost was totally reasonable and easily paid. We will be using Cre8 again for sure!

    We are pleased with the electrical testing and subsequent work carried out. Thank you Steve and Simon for the communications and Stuart and his colleague who carried out the testing and subsequent work in a day. This was followed by an installation report and the Electrical Installation Certificate.

Cre8 Electricity and Plumbing.


As NICEIC approved contractors, we pride ourselves on good reputation, great customer service, honest and professional advice.


We currently have a team of 9 engineers, so can be very reactive.


Our engineers are fully qualified, and all works are carried out in keeping up with the wiring regulations.


All our engineers are polite, courteous and understanding at all times, with vans well stocked with most basic items frequently needed in reactive works, meaning most jobs can be completed there and then.


We promise to keep mess to a minimum and tidy up after all works.
