    Electrical istallation completed in timely manner, of a high standard, and in considerate manner.

    Posted 21 January

    GU Solutions installed a kitchen suspended cooker extractor unit for me. Work was completed in a timely manner, was of a high standard with wiring spurred from the existing external extracter supply and discretely hidden within the room stud walling and ceiling. Engineers were considerate of my home and cleared up debris on completion. Price was competitive. I would employ for futher work and recommend.

    Customer care

    Posted 29 December 2025

    GU Solutions installed an EV charger in February 2025. The charger worked as expected for over six months but then started to apply only approximately 50% of the charge requested. After carrying out some preliminary checks to prove the car was not at fault, I contacted GU Solutions as the charger was still under warranty. I am pleased to be able to say that a quick and positive response was received. Gary contacted me by telephone and we talked through the issue. He then visited my house to test the charger and concluded there was potentially an issue with either the charger, or more likely

    Great company!

    Posted 14 December 2025

    I recently had electrical work completed in my house. This was the second time I have used GU Solutions. I would highly recommend this company as Gary and the team are friendly and professional. The work to be undertaken was explained and any questions I had were covered in full. The work was completed to a high standard and I would return for any work required in the future.
