Reviews from 86 Electrics customers.
I recently purchased a flat in Bath and needed an electrician to check the ancient electrics so I don't fry myself. Mike was amazing, professional and knowledgeable. For me the real benefit was that he also took the time to talk me through all my questions and show me how things worked - he even helped me figure out the buzzer system at the front door. Thank you Mike!
Mike did a fantastic job connecting my garden studio with power and wiring the circuits inside. He was punctual, very tidy and easy to chat to with any queries. Highly recommended!
Mike was great. We had an ongoing issue where our electrics kept tripping. Super frustrating. Two other companies couldn't find the issue or said nothing was wrong, but Mike figured it out. Since then we've had him back for all our home jobs (we're on a long renovation) and would highly recommend him. He's polite, conscientious and you feel safe with him in your home. A rare breed of sparky.
From the moment Mike started to work on our electrics we knew we were in good hands. We needed a lot: EICR, fault finding, remedial work, new fan in the bathroom, lights, switches and so on. We also have an old house with complicated wiring, but Mike navigated every complication with ease, and the work was thorough, safe and top notch. From set up to clean up, we couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended!
I can't recommend Mike enough. He fitted our hob, sorted out a new socket for the fridge, and fitted a fan to sort out our damp, all with expert skill, no fuss, and total flexibility for our somewhat chaotic family home. If you want someone friendly, competent and totally trustworthy, then Mike's your man!
If you are buying a house and need an EICR, Mike is the person to call. He inspected our new house before we completed, explained clearly which issues mattered and what they would cost to fix, then once we had moved in replaced the consumer unit, added earth bonding to the water supply and fixed faults on several circuits. He kept us informed throughout and did exactly what he promised. Highly recommended.

Not as a rule — I'm not set up for 3am emergencies, and I'd rather do a job properly than rush it in the dark. If you're an existing customer, get in touch anyway and I'll help if I can.

Yes — public liability cover up to £5 million and professional indemnity up to £500,000, both through NAPIT. I'd be happy to share proof of cover on request.

It all depends on the job. My pricing page has my rates and some ballpark figures, but for a firmer number you can drop me a WhatsApp or I'm happy to pop round for a free site visit.
No. I'm not VAT-registered, so there's no VAT added to your bill. Compared with a VAT-registered electrician on the same rates, you save 20%.
Bank transfer is my preferred method, and my details will be on your invoice. Invoices are due within 7 days unless we've agreed otherwise.
