    Great service at a good price.

    Posted 03 May

    Yet again used Luke to supply and fit another double socket in my potting shed and an outdoor double socket for the garden. He also fitted a one extractor fan in the bathroom. As always, the price he estimated was the price charged for the outdoor work and as he could use existing fittings in the loft (unknown when estimating the price was lower than his estimate. Luke and Leo were clean tidy and kept disruption to the absolute minimum. What else can i say about an excellent workman.

    Induction Hob & Cooker Installation

    Posted 16 April

    Luke was fantastic - friendly, professional, and a real pleasure to work with. He was incredibly adaptable and kept communication clear and consistent throughout our fast-paced kitchen project. He installed the new appliances, cutting out the space needed, adjusting some of the electrical wiring, and fitting everything alongside Leo, who was also brilliant. It’s lovely to see such a dedicated and skilled family business in action. We’d actually used Luke before for a smaller job, capping off a socket, which he handled quickly and at a fair price. They're our go-to now. Thanks so much!

    Outside Power Supply and Internal Lighting

    Posted 27 March

    Luke (Farky the Sparky) recently installed an outside power socket and replaced some existing lighting to bedroom furniture! The quality of work was excellent and Luke is a very reliable and friendly electrician! I have no hesitation recommending him and would definitely use him for any future electrical work! Thank You!

    Bathroom heater and new ceiling lights

    Posted 22 November 2024

    All the work carried out by Farky the Sparky (Luke) was carried out very professionally, the end job is just amazing. It has given our bathroom so much more light with new 4 Spot lights, and now with a new wall heater we have comfort and light. I would highly recommend Luke for any electrical work.
