    Lights and garage electrics not working

    Posted 12 January

    Ed came out very quickly, identified the faults, sorted out the sockets there and then, came back at the weekend, identified the issue with the lights, rewired them, moved and reused a light switch and changed two light switches in the house. Very happy with his work

    Bathroom lights, 1x extractor fan installation and 1 x extractor fan replacement

    Posted 30 November 2024

    Eddie was positive in nature and very calm whilst he worked. Unfortunately, he didn't take care with his work. This meant that there was some damage to the property and it was left quite dirty; his patching up was quite messy and so I've been left to 'make good' on these holes and damage to the wall. The humidistat, timer, continuous Greenwood extractor fans didn't calibrate initially, so I'm hoping they will work better going forward. Eddie has assured me of the two year guarantee, so I'm hopeful if there is an issue, it will be resolved.

    Response from Devonhurst Electrical Installations

    I apologise that some aspects of the work did not fully meet the client's expectations. We strive to ensure that clients are fully aware of the scope of work. The estimate clearly stated that installing lighting fixtures would require running cables through the ceiling, involving cutting holes and inevitably creating dust. This could damage decorative finishes, potentially needing professional repairs by a decorator. While holes were filled, additional sanding and painting was required, which was communicated to the client both verbally and in writing. Every effort will be made to minimise dust; however, sensitive or valuable items should be removed from the working area or covered by the client to their satisfaction before work commences. Basic tidying and vacuuming will be done upon completion of the work, but additional wiping down, especially of food preparation surfaces, should be undertaken by the client once the site has been vacated. Repairs to decorative finishes, such as wall chases, are outside the scope of works and may require professional attention. All our electrical installation work comes with a two-year guarantee.

    Lighting Issue

    Posted 28 October 2024

    We had an issue with the lighting electrics in our bathroom. Robert was very efficient in identifying the fault and fixing the problem. Was very pleased with the service and would certainly recommend him for electric work.

About me. I am a member of the Registered Competent Person (Electrical) scheme (formally the ElectricSafe Register) via my status with NAPIT as an Approved Contractor. For more details see my website (www.medway-electrician.co.uk) or check out the Competent Persons or NAPIT websites. I hold both professional indemnity and public liability insurance.


Qualified for the job. Anyone can set themselves up as an electrician without having any qualifications, experience or accreditation. I have been in the business for over 25 years. I trained whilst in the Army and have maintained my currency an competency since leaving. I hold qualifications for design, installation, verification, inspection and testing of electrical installations (including Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment).


Guarantee. All my installation work carries two-year goodwill guarantee as standard to give you the peace of mind that in the unlikely event of something going wrong afterwards, it will be put right quickly and without fuss. I also guarantee that no unnecessary work will be recommended and that you wont be bamboozled by technical jargon. Any concerns I have on an existing installation outside of any work I’ve been hired to perform will be put to you clearly explaining the issue and why it should be resolved. If you’re unsure, you can contact NAPIT, the Competent Persons Scheme which oversees my work, and have them verify my findings.


Costs and quality. My attention to detail to ensure your requirements are met beats the money grabbing mentality of some rivals. You'll be dealing directly with me, the owner of this business. I take genuine pride in my work, I am honest have integrity and am laser focused on offering you great value for money. You can be sure to get the results you want without the costs bigger firms have to cover their overheads.


Estimates. To visit you within Medway Towns area to discuss a project or to provide a no-obligation quotation for a set piece of work you want completing then there is no charge.


Electrical Installation Inspection. I charge per circuit. Send me a photo of your fuse box and I can confirm how many circuits you have. I’ll admit, I’m not the cheapest for inspection and testing work, but I can guarantee an honest report and a proper job unlike others who offer this service cheaply in order to make up unnecessary remedial work to cover their costs, or who put inexperienced and low-cost personnel on the job.


Discounts. Ask me about discounts for veterans and Key Workers.
