We have had two jobs recently carried out by Dave Norman's firm. AEF was amongst other electricians we called when work on the house uncovered some old mains wiring connected to new wiring which had been taped together in a way I wasn't sure was safe. We were under pressure as the wiring was under floorboards which were due to be sealed back down that day. Dave Norman responded positively and was able to arrange one of his team, Ozzie Dave, to visit within a few hours; he replaced the taped joins with a more secure and durable solution. Given the short notice, I felt the fee was fair; it bought peace of mind as well as a proper fix to the issue. The second job, a couple of weeks later, was a full EICR inspection of the property. Ozzie Dave was back. His work was professional, considerate and friendly throughout. He liaised with a joiner, also on-site, so that switch off the power supply from time to time did not stop the joiner using his power tools when required. I very much appreciated Dave's way of explaining things, the thoroughness of his work and his readiness to check and advise on things that were not strictly part of the EICR scope.

When replacing downlighter bulb in the kitchen I managed to kill all light from 6 fittings. Contacting AEF I had immediate confirmation of my request and intended contacting me after returning from holiday. He arrived bang on time arranged and solved the problem which was not as easy as I had assumed all for a reasonable sum. I was totally impressed by the service and Dave Norman himself, going out of his way to attend a 'simple' problem to my utter satisfaction and in a manner which I was beginning to believe was long gone. I can highly recommend AEF

I had problems with smoke alarms going off intermittently. I am a 68 year old lady in a house with high ceilings & integrated alarms. I couldn’t fix the problem myself. This was a relatively small job but the company treated me as a valued customer and rearranged their schedule to come and sort the job out urgently. The man who came (Ben) was courteous and isolated and sorted the problems. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company and would use them again for any future electrical work.

Contacted AEF for Landlord's Electrical Safety Test. Electrician arrived at appointed time, was helpful, communicative and efficient. A new consumer unit was required, and a low insulation resistance reading needed further investigation. A quote was received very promptly, agreed over the phone, and the work was completed without delay after the weekend, together with some additional sockets. All communication was clear and questions were answered in a straightforward manner. The work was completed neatly and efficiently, and everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. Happy with the price, although do not have much experience of prices for these jobs, and did not get other quotes as this contractor was highly recommended.

Have had AEF Electrical complete 2 jobs at our residential property - both occasions, they were flexible with dates and got the job done really quickly. The electricians that came were excellent, great customer service, clean and tidy and made sure everything worked and was in order to our satisfaction before leaving. Can't recommend AEF Electrical highly enough for all round high quality service.

From first contact to completion of all electrical work within my house I cannot speak too highly of AEF Electrical. Friendly, easy to deal with, on time, smart, and most importantly carried out all work to a very high standard. On completion of the work they explained everything that they’d done and asked if we had any questions or concerns (which we did not). Finally, when they left you wouldn’t have known that they’d carried out major electrical work in the house, such was their standard of cleanliness. I would certainly use them again and would highly recommend them to friends and family.

We had a great response from AEF electrical. Had blown a fuse trying to do a bit of DIY on dismantling some outside lights. Came the following week and on time, were highly knowledgeable and completed the job efficiently. Would certainly use them again and would recommend them to others. Charge us a reasonable hourly rate for a qualified electrician.
