10 First class service
Posted 3 days ago
Richard was recommended by a few people in a Facebook post I created after I'd been given an expensive quote to replace an extractor fan in the bathroom. He turned up the same day and came the next morning to replace it due to it being a fiddly job and a different size. He improvised really well and sorted it with no fuss and everything worked out brilliantly. His price was excellent too. I'd have no hesitation recommending Richard for any electrical work and have already passed on his number to a family member. First class serviceVerified reviewerJob location: SO3110 10/10

Richard was excellent from start to finish. He responded to my telephone query almost immediately and came to my house the next day. He identified the fault quickly, resolved the issue and put my mind at rest. He advised about other concerns and replaced a faulty socket. If I need any electrical work done in the future, he would be my first choice. A top bloke!Verified reviewerJob location: SO1810 10/10 service from an excellent electrician

Job location: SO31Richard had installed some downlighting with a dimmer switch about a year ago and the started failing to turn on. So I asked him if he could take a look and see what the issue was. Turned out it was the dimmer switch that he replaced and did not charge us for the work. We have used Richard since we have moved into this house a couple of years ago and he has never failed to give us 10/10 service10 Trustworthy & courteous
