Job location: GU15I was recommended to use Richie by a friend. I’d bought a new car and was looking for someone to supply & fit. He discussed what features I wanted with me and then was able to fit the unit a few days later. Was all very seemless and the product was perfect for what I needed. Richie has since done other electrical work in the house, and have always found him reliable and does a great job. 100% would recommend to others.10 EICR report and installation of replacement electric wall heaters (removal of storage heaters)

Richie was a pleasure to deal with, sensibly priced, professional and I would highly recommend his services.Verified reviewerJob location: RG1
