    Excellent job at a fair price.

    Posted 02 March

    I was struggling to find someone to install a PIV unit in a rental flat, basically a small fan that blows air in rather than extracts it out, this involved drilling a core hole through the outside wall, not a nice job, the couple of quotes I'd had for the job were way over my budget at £1600 and £1300. Ivan came to give a quote and came in at half that price and also supplied and installed a new kitchen light and a new socket. The work took much longer than expected due to a badly placed wall tie but they stuck with it and got everything done in the one day. They will now be my go to people.

    Replacement shower switch

    Posted 17 February

    We'd made an absolute mess of our shower switch and needed to replace it, didn't want to mess it up again. Heard back after the weekend and came to sort us out the afternoon of the same day. Very happy with the speed and quality

    A Supreme Sparkie!

    Posted 04 November 2025

    Ivan proved to be thoroughly professional and efficient in not only finding the faulty electrical device (main consumer board) which was seriously compromising my heating system, but also managed to get it working due to a fuseway switch to a spare! Ivan left me in no doubt that the mcb should be replaced asap. This was duly done within 3 days. I was simply well impressed with his very expert advice and opinions and would not hesitate to contact this company again if required. It goes without saying that I would certainly highly recommend Ivan Fairless Electricals to anyone!

    Honest reliable trades person

    Ivan was punctual tidy and professional. He gave good advice and then carried out the job to a good standard. I was kept up to date thank you Moya, with what was needed for my electrical safety certificate he also fixed a bad tradesman job carried out by someone else. Will use again.
