    Great electrician - Internal Light Fitting Removal

    Posted 06 August

    We had a few unused wall lights which we wanted to remove before decorating our little boy’s bedroom - I came across Steve’s details and am very glad I did! He was very responsive, provided a reasonable quote and the work was arranged very easily. In addition to removing the wall lights, he also adapted the switch and changed the ceiling light fitting. A really lovely, friendly guy - arrived when he said he would, did what he said he would and cleaned everything up afterwards. Would definitely recommend!

    Top banana. Steve came to do an EICR for my property - was very efficient, down to earth, friendly, and, importantly, honest. Would highly recommend.

    EICR, changed fuse box, light and rewired a light switch.

    Steve is polite, reliable and helpful. He came to look at the job, carried out EICR inspection and returned to complete additional work that needed doing within a week. He didn’t over charge me, in fact some companies were asking double the amount. In future he will be my first point of call if I need an electrical job carried out.
