    Lighting design, EICR and generally making previous bad jobs safe!

    Posted 09 May

    Duncan is fantastic to work with - we had him in to do an Electrical Inspection Conditions Report. He found a load of issues with the previous installation (many of which were visible to us as well as we had taken some plasterboard away as part of another project). He set about fixing them all in a methodical way, all the time making sure we were kept up to date. His knowledge and experience is excellent and he gives me the utmost confidence that everything will be done properly when he does it. We're having him back for lighting design and installation too - thanks Duncan!

    Remodelling Kitchen Lighting - plus TV power & cable management

    Posted 20 November 2024

    Duncan recently remodelled our kitchen lighting and installed a power socket & hidden conduit for our TV cabling. He listened carefully to what we wanted, considering the layout of the room and how we use different ‘zones’ - and sourced all of the materials needed to suit the look and functionality that we were aiming for. Duncan was fastidious in tackling every aspect and we are extremely pleased with the end result & aesthetic finish, now ready for us to have decorated. Duncan was friendly, considerate, consultative and very tidy - and it was a real pleasure to have him working in our home.

    Great. New consumer unit and 2 new sockets

    Posted 23 May 2024

    Duncan was great, would highly recommend and will be using again ourselves when needed. He installed 2 new sockets, traced in the wall. Covered everything and tried to keep dust to a minimum. Gave me recommendations on placements etc. Came back to finish and install a new consumer unit (not in an easy location at all), after he had contacted ukpn and sorted out their part for the house. He gave us all the options with the new consumer unit and didn't try to up sell things we didn't need or want but wanted to make sure things were also future proof and safe.

    Wiring lights in garage and providing electricity to an outbuilding

    Posted 15 May 2024

    Duncan was fantastic - Timely, efficient and really fairly priced. Finding trades I can trust to complete a job without extortion is difficult but Duncan bucks the trend - would have no issue recommending to friends and family and would use for all electrical needs in the future.

    Security camera installation, dimmers and light switch rewiring

    Posted 25 January 2024

    Duncan was recommended by several neighbours and I have been very happy with his work. He was prompt in providing a quote, which included different options that he had explained clearly in our first meeting. Work completed to a great standard. Duncan is also very friendly. Thank you!
