    Unreliable and unprofessional

    Response from DBE Contracting Ltd

    Thankyou for your feedback. A replacement pull cord was fitted to a ceiling in a poorly ventilated bathroom with mould on ceilings and walls. I advised to rewire to a wall but was refused by customer, which later pulled off the ceiling, I refunded the customer for the work done as a good will gesture. As for the switch - The existing dimmer switch was faulty. Once agreed with the customer this was changed for a standard switch to get the light working. Please consider the impact of leaving unfair negative reviews on small local businesses, this can have a big impact on gaining future work.

    Pedantic

    Posted 30 March

    Probably a good electician, but I found Dan to be inflexible and unhelpful. We had a temporarilly spare bedroom in an HMO which 3 tenants were therefore using to chill in. Despite clear indication that the house and bedroom would soon be fully occupied once more with new student tenants he insisted that the room should be included in the linked smoke alarms and would not issue an approporiate certificate.

    Response from DBE Contracting Ltd

    Thankyou for your feedback. Here at DBE Contracting we pride ourselves on our work and compliance. Unfortunately we could not issue a certificate that doesn't comply with current regulations, this was the reason for not issuing a fire alarm certificate.

    Dan is a really nice guy and very efficient, from quoting for the job to completing the job. He also responds quickly to initial inquiry for job, I highly recommend him. Replaced Fuseboard in garage, supplied lighting and power to shed and replaced two outside lanterns. He shows you what he has done and explains everything and certificates job.
