    Excellent service – professional, reliable, and friendly

    Posted 10 January

    I’m very happy with the service from GM Electrical Service. Garry was professional, punctual, and carried out the electrical work to a very high standard. Communication was excellent throughout, and the job was completed promptly. Katy was also great on the customer service side – friendly, helpful, and efficient. A reliable and trustworthy company that clearly takes pride in their work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use their services again.

    Expert Electrician

    Garry Markham was recommended to us as unusually expert in his field and indeed he has carried out work for us which was very effective, undertaken very quickly and with the minimum of disruption. On this occasion he installed an up-to-date (fuse board) consumer unit to bring us into compliance with today's standards. He was flexible when we wanted to adjust the timing of the work and charming as ever.

    This was the fifth job Gary has done for us. As always it was very professional. Gary arrived on time and did the job very quickly , leaving the site very tidy. A prompt invoice was received for the appropriate amount. I look forward to using GM electrical again in the near future.
