AEF Electrical replaced a double socket, a bathroom fan and a central heating control unit. Communication initially was by email, which promptly clarified the items required, and timescale for carrying out the work - within 10 days. The electrician arrived at the appointed time, worked efficiently, tidily and unobtrusively. Communication was effective and appropriate. The work was completed quickly to our satisfaction. Overall a very positive experience.

I called in AEF after a previous electrician vanished leaving me in a pickle. I needed a consumer unit rewired, previous wiring tested and sign off and plenty of snagging aswell. I spoke with Dave to make arrangements and he was very helpful considering the tricky mess I had. Pricing and invoicing and work was priced fairly. Communication was also excellent and my Lecky onsite was Ruriadh who turned up on time and worked hard and was very knowledgeable. So altogether I couldn't ask for more. They are now my go to Electricians and if anyone asks, these are the team I will recommend. Thank you both.

We wanted to upgrade the external light by out front door. I messaged Dave Norman in the morning and he was able to send Ruairidh round that afternoon. Ruairidh explained that the cable needed upgrading and he would need to install a switching box. He was careful to check with me about the positioning of the switching box and the new light. After the light was installed, he pointed out some minor damage to the stonework caused by inserting the clips for the new cable (luckily the damage was barely visible). In summary - prompt, professional, honest and reliable.

I contacted this company for a quote to have stair-lighting repaired/replaced in our tenement stairwell and Dave from AEF responded promptly with a very reasonable quote. Within 48hrs of confirming that we wanted to proceed, an appointment was arranged, Jonny the electrician turned up on time, replaced all our lights and the timer clock within a couple of hours, and tidied up after himself. A very professional service! Would highly recommend.

AEF Electrical Ltd have done a range of jobs for me, from initially testing the electrics in a recently purchased property to installing a new electrical heating system, along the way repairing some faults (including an immersion heater element) and connecting up new appliances. It has all been handled extremely well and efficiently by Dave (the boss) and Jonny (who came out on time and as arranged). They were both very helpful in providing information and helping me work out exactly what wanted doing, without any pressure or hard sell. Really pleased with the work and a pleasure to have had them involved. Many thanks!

We required significant upgrading of the lighting in our kitchen, installation of a new induction hob, and fitting of a new outside light. Dave, the director, visited us and took the time to get a good understanding of what we were looking to achieve. He made excellent recommendations, and checked our wiring to make sure everything was feasible. We felt very reassured by Dave's visit and the conversation we had, and were happy to proceed. The other Dave came to do the work on the date arranged. His skills, knowledge and workmanship were exemplary and he also pointed out a couple of improvements he could make to our existing contact breakers while he was working on our installation. We are very happy with the end results, and it was a pleasure dealing with the AEF team. I will use them again for any future requirements, and have no hesitation in recommending them.

I contacted AEF Electrical Ltd to get a quote for moving sockets and fitting an outside light. They were prompt in replying and came to give a quote on the day/time they promised. We had a specific date where work needed to be done, with a second visit required once we had fitted wardrobes. They were able to accommodate our requirements and turned up as planned. The work done was to an excellent standard and the young electrician was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely use them again.

I contacted AEF Electrical through the Which trusted trader facility. I was very impressed by their speed of response - within hours. They carried out the work - replacing a fluorescent light in the kitchen - at the time stated in their estimate. The job was completed quickly and with a minimum of mess. I then asked about the possibility of getting the fire alarms brought up to the new Scottish standard. Not only was I given an immediate estimate, but he was able to carry the work out immediately to the same standard as the other work. I have rarely been so impressed by a tradesman.

Having been stood up by another electrician, I came out of the house to see the AEF van parked nearby. I called the mobile number & Ben came to assess the job during his lunch. He advised that even though it was a small job involving fitting a new switch and moving a light it would necessitate upgrading the fuse-board. I received an estimate within the day, and arranged for the work to be done when I returned from a few days away. On the day of the job, Ben turned up as agreed, and got straight down to work. The job was completed cleanly and efficiently. No hesitation in recommending.
