    First class emergency service ⭐

    Posted 27 November

    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

    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

    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

    There Sparks an idea.

    Posted 03 November

    I’d like to thank Mainly Sparks Ltd (Ian and Dave) for work carried out on the issue with my car charger. After the very quick attendance after my phone call a feasible solution was created that would benefit the charger not switching off during charging. During a phone call to arrange for the work to be carried out the next day there was another solution suggested to me that would be less intrusive and a great fix. The work carried out the next day on time, very tidy and very friendly. Car charged without any issues. I would very happily recommend Mainly Sparky Ltd to family and friends.
