Upgrade consumer unit
Posted 09 June
Ian’s team carried out a very professional installation of a modern consumer unit. They installed a new cooker supply to the kitchen, ready for future kitchen renovation. During testing of the ring main after installation of the consumer unit, there was a problem, which was resolved very quickly. I was very happy with this job.

EICR's for landlords
Posted 26 February
Ian did 5x EICR's and passed all 5 flats, a couple of which required remedial work, which he carried out immediately. Good value for money, and professional. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to other landlords. (Nice guy as well, which is a bonus)

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
