Had Chris and the team in for a Consumer Unit change and some downlights. 1st class from start to finish. Turned up on time and job completed within timescale. Would recommend.
Chris and his guys are really professional, and just very nice people to do business with.
I have used them many times now in my home for various projects and also my friends and family's homes.
Full house rewire in our house, along with spotlights and outside sockets and lights. Really pleased and I won’t be going anywhere else in future.
Chris and particularly Alex have been involved in a full refurb of our new property. We had a full rewire, plus many extras. They have all been absolutely fantastic. Very professional, helpful and great at their work. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who requires electrical work. Thank you guys.
