Cheaper elsewhere

Compared to the bigger electrical retailers these were a bit dearer for the same consumer unit, which I noticed straight away. The delivery was fine and the item was as described. I think I'd have gone elsewhere if I'd checked prices more carefully first.

Ordered a consumer unit for the house

I ordered a replacement consumer unit for the upstairs flat, after our electrician told me the old one had to go. The order went through without any fuss and the unit turned up in good condition, with all the breakers and the instructions neatly packed. My electrician said it was exactly the spec he'd asked for, which settled things for me.

Decent after comparing options

Tried a few suppliers before settling on these for a batch of LED strips. The ordering was straightforward and the price was competitive. The strips came a day later than the tracking said, which was a small irritation, but otherwise good.

Good value and reliable

Honestly these were the best option for the sockets and switches I needed. Delivery was on time and the packaging kept everything intact. Price was fair and the site was easy enough to use.

first order, mostly happy

I bought a set of LED downlights for the kitchen ceiling and wasn't sure whether to trust a site I'd never used before. The order went through fine and the tracking was accurate, and the lights arrived in good nick. The only thing is the confirmation email took a while to turn up, so I was checking my junk folder for a bit. Otherwise it was a smooth first experience and I'd order again.

The clear labelling

What struck me most was how plainly everything was labelled on the site, so I could tell at a glance which fittings would suit my old bathroom. I was able to read the descriptions without squinting, which I appreciated. The order was packed carefully and arrived promptly. I'm very pleased with how the whole thing went and would happily order from them again.

Needed quick replacement lamps

Our landlord wanted the hallway fittings replaced before the next viewing so I was in a rush for new bulbs and holders. The site had what I needed in stock and it came next day. Good kit, spot on for the job.

fine but pricey for what it is

The cable and clips I ordered were the right ones and the delivery took the expected few days. What got me was the postage charge, which made the total noticeably higher than I expected for a small order. For a regular buyer on a budget that adds up. I'd use them again only if I couldn't find the same thing cheaper.

Not what I expected

I ordered a dimmer switch that looked a different finish on the pictures than it turned out to be in person. When I wrote to them asking about a return, it took several days to get a reply and the process of sending it back was more fiddly than I'd like. I'm not impressed with how that was handled. I won't be rushing back.

Bought a fused spur

I picked up a fused spur unit to add a socket in the garage, mainly because the one I'd found elsewhere was out of stock. It arrived quickly and the quality looks solid, with the cover fitting nicely. The only niggle is the instructions were a bit thin for the wiring diagram. Still, I got it fitted without trouble.

better than the big names

I compared a few places for a set of ceiling roses and this one came out ahead on price and speed. The ordering was quick and the items arrived in good order. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for the next project.

needed an outdoor socket fast

My shed needed a proper outdoor socket before the spring work started, so I was after something weatherproof and quick. I found what I needed and ordered it on a Monday evening, and it was sorted without any bother.

smart plug sorted

Got the smart plug for the lamp, ordered on the app and it came the next day. Works fine with my phone and setup took two minutes. Great, will buy again.

Needed a proper cable tester

I needed something reliable to check circuits on a rewire job at my sister's place, and I know my way around a multimeter so I wanted the right spec. The listing gave me what I needed to choose properly, and the tester turned up with the leads and a decent case. It does the job well and the price was fair for what it is. Good kit from people who clearly know the trade.

Better than my usual place

I have been buying from this site for years now and it's still my first choice over the local shop, which charges more for worse. The range is good and I like that I can see what's in stock before I order. Deliveries have always turned up when promised. I've never had a problem worth mentioning.

Needed a new cooker circuit

We were having the kitchen done and needed a new cooker circuit protection device, so I ordered the one the electrician asked for. It has been a long-time favourite place of mine for trade bits so I was confident. Delivery was slightly slower than I'd hoped but the item was correct and well packed. Happy enough with it.

better value than the big chains

Compared with the large high street electrical chains this was noticeably cheaper for the same bathroom extractor fan I'd been eyeing, and the price was the first thing that caught my eye. I'd been put off ordering online before but the checkout was straightforward and the fan arrived well packed, which I was grateful for.

Sorted my order first time

Went with these after comparing three or four places and they were the easiest by a mile. Ordered on a Tuesday, it was with me by Thursday, and everything was exactly what I wanted. Nothing else to add really.
