DR Electrical

I booked the company to fit a set of interlinked smoke alarms throughout the ground floor, as my son had recommended them. The gentleman who came was courteous and explained each one as he went along. He tidied away the old wiring neatly and tested every alarm before he left. I'm very pleased with the result and would be happy to use them again.

I manage a few flats and need a reliable sparky who can do EICRs and quick fixes without fuss. These guys do both and send the certificate the same week. Booking the tenant visits is simple and they give proper notice.

Power went off in the kitchen on a Saturday night and I was panicking a bit. Rang them and they had someone there within a couple of hours, which was brilliant for a weekend. Found a loose connection in the consumer unit and fixed it on the spot. Very good, would call them again.

Been using these people since we moved in. Booked a new bathroom extractor fan and a socket by the mirror, both done in one visit. Always turn up when they say, and the invoice matches the quote.

I'm an electrician myself so I know what to look for. The engineer had the right RCD protection on the new circuit for the shower and had the cable sized properly for the load. Labelled the board clearly and left the certificate on the side. Solid work, nothing I'd change.

I went for a new lighting circuit in the loft conversion and asked for the cables to be run under the boards rather than through the joists. The electrician did exactly that, labelled every circuit at the consumer unit and tested the RCDs before handing over. The new lights on the landing are on a proper dimmer now and everything works first time.

Had a tripping circuit that was driving me mad and needed someone quick. Booked online and they came out the next afternoon. Job was done fine, just the parking outside was a pain and the bloke had to ring twice to get in.

Got them to fit a smart plug and a dimmer switch in my flat. Booking was dead easy on the app. Bloke was on time and sorted it in like 40 mins, just wish he'd given me a bit more heads up on the cost before he started.

When compared with the other electrician I had used before, the price here was noticeably higher and I did not feel the difference was explained. The engineer arrived late and I was left waiting most of the morning for him to finish a previous job. The work he eventually did was adequate, but I expected a little more consideration for the time I had set aside.

The work itself was done properly and the engineer explained the new fuse board clearly, so I have no real complaint there. My concern was the time it took to get a booking confirmed, which was a good few days of back and forth by email. Once it started things moved along nicely.

We needed a double socket moved across the bedroom wall because the bed was blocking the only one and the extension lead was driving me mad. Found them through a search and booked online, which took about five minutes. The engineer turned up when they said and did it neatly, plastered over the old hole and tidied up. Only thing is the price was a bit more than I'd hoped, but it's done properly and I'd use them again.

Had quotes from two other firms and this one was the cheapest by about 80 quid for the same job. Replaced a dead fuse box and they fitted it the next morning. No complaints.

Lowkey the best bit was the quick reply on the site, got a quote the same evening. Job done next week, lad was sound and cleaned up after himself. Would use again.

Honestly the thing that got me was how clean they left the place, the engineer put down sheets and vacuumed up after himself which I didn't expect from an electrician. I'd booked a socket swap in the bathroom, they texted the morning before and turned up within the window. Took about an hour and a half, job done properly and the new socket works a treat. First time using them so glad I went with it.

Compared with the chap we used a few years ago, this firm was far more organised. They rang ahead, arrived when they said they would, and the work on our outdoor socket was completed without fuss. The invoice matched the quote which I appreciated. I'd say we've found a good firm and I'm happy to recommend them to friends.

Got a quote from another place first and they wanted a week before anyone could come out. These lot had someone round for a dimmer switch the next afternoon. Booked on my phone in about two minutes. Fine.

Best electrician we've had in the house, full stop. Came back for a faulty socket and a light that kept flickering, and both were sorted in one visit. Always tidy, always on time.

Got a new security light fitted on the back of the garage. Sign up was easy on the site and the bloke came on the right day. Quoted price was spot on, though the light is a bit bigger than I pictured from the photos.

Got three quotes for a kitchen rewire and this one came in a fair bit above the cheapest, though it was the middle of the three. The engineer was good and the work is neat enough. Took a few days to get the first call back, which was a bit of a slog when we were trying to plan the decorating.

We bought an electric car and needed a dedicated charger point put in on the driveway, which meant a new circuit from the consumer unit. I wasn't sure whether a normal sparky would be up to it. They surveyed the route first, explained the cable sizing and what the earth bonding would look like, then did the install in a single day. The charger works every time I plug in and they gave me the certificate straight after.
