    I contacted R1 Electrical to carry out 2 jobs for me. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They responded almost immediately to my initial enquiry and updated me constantly. I have had dealings with many trades people over the years and this Company are certainly one of the best for communication, pricing and reliability. Don't think twice about using them
