    First class emergency service ⭐

    Posted 27 November 2025

    What an absolute angel to save my sanity after I accidentally set off a discontinued british gas security alarm. Ian answered my call for help quickly, politely and with good humour. We are safe, sound and quiet again. Fantastic service 10/10

    5* - Thank you!

    Posted 06 November 2025

    Ian was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. We had a cancellation and were desperate for the EICR to be complete, Ian managed to squeeze us in the next day with the certificate in my inbox the following evening. Truly couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you Ian and team!

    Couldn’t thank Ian enough

    Posted 05 November 2025

    I just wanted to thank Ian for all his help. The previous electrician had wrongly failed my eicr report in an attempt to charge me for a full house rewire that I didn’t actually need. I sent the report to Ian and asked if he could come by to provide a quote for the rewire To my surprise Ian told me that not only did my house not need rewiring but that my eicr should have actually passed! Upon checking, he found that the previous electrician had failed the certificate incorrectly and even the readings on the report were wrong I’m extremely grateful to Ian for his honesty, professionalism
