AEF Electrical Ltd

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.

We needed our system tested for short let certification and also PAT testing. From first approach, quote, through to the actual work the AEF team were great to deal with.

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.

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.

I have used this company twice and would not hesitate to recommend them. They are extremely professional, patient and polite. I will be using them again in the future and will definitely send their details to all my friends and family members.

From start to finish, a stress-free job. Prompt service, quote emailed same day, workers punctual, helpful and efficient. Had previously been messed about by time-wasters so it was very much appreciated that everything went so smoothly. Highly recommended, would definitely use again.

Great service at the drop of a hat. Would highly recommend them. Neat, tidy, friendly. Having worked in the trade years ago I was very impressed.

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.

We contacted AEF electrical because we wanted a number of relatively small electrical jobs done. David replied quickly, arranged a visit and sent us an estimate the next day - in fact all commication with him was clear and prompt. He sourced all the switches, sockets and lights we needed which saved us a lot of time and effort. The guys arrived on time, completed the work to a very high standard and tidied up afterwards. Therefore we would have no hesitation in using AEF Electrical for any future jobs.

Contacted company via their website, with prompt response. Arranged work after exchange of photographs and subsequent quote by email. Electrician on the day arrived in the time window specified. Work carried out neatly and per timescale indicated. Chap very polite, professional and pleasant. Great dealing with these guys. Recommend.

Another great job completed on time and to my complete satisfaction by this professional and customer focused company. The work was completed in 2 phases around the needs of the joiners, plumbers and decorators. Both phases were competed on time without any mess by Jonny & Ben, who were a pleasure to have working in our home. During the work, the boss, Dave Norman, looked in to ensure all was going well - good to see that the boss is on top of all the work done by his people. I should like to especially thank Jonny & Ben for fixing a problem caused by one of the other tradesmen who managed to put a hidden screw through one of the lighting cables. Jonny was able to calculate the approximate location of the fault and then he and Ben had to confirm and to fix the fault. Great work by great guys! I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

We used AEF for a full rewire and then Jonny came back to finish things once our kitchen and bathroom were installed. He was fast and professional, arrived on time and was a pleasant guy. What a relief after dealing with some other less professional tradesmen over the past year. We would highly recommend.

Very efficient service. Speedy, tidy and at a competitive price

Very efficient job of electrical wiring in garden room and tidying up old wiring. The staff were professional and reliable and issued safety certicates having checked existing wiring too.

Arrived within a couple of days of being contacted by us and gave a quotation. Any queries we had were answered in very practical terms which was much appreciated. Our request to have the work done on a certain date was accommodated. The electrician was very efficient and professional and tidied up everything as he went along. Delighted with the results at a reasonable price and we will use AEF Electrical again without hesitation. Can't recommend highly enough.

We thoroughly recommend AEF Electrical Ltd. Enquiries were dealt with promptly and everything completed efficiently and to a high standard. We were very satisfied with the work. Dave and the guys were very friendly, determined to sort issues and gave excellent advice.

Dave was able to come out and do an inspection at our flat the day after we called, which we really appreciated. He also had a wee look at a couple other things we had questions about. We are very happy with the service!

Have used AEF both for electrical work both in a rental flat and now our own home. Dave did a great job - very friendly, efficient and thorough. All working well and left the place very clean and tidy. Would certainly use again

I've used Dave's services several times now and have no hesitation recommending AEF. All of the guys are highly courteous and on both occasions went out of their way both to achieve what was wanted, and also make sensible recommendations. They came when they said they would, did what was needed (and more) and certification went through without a glitch. Will certainly be using again.

Couldn't be happier with AEF Electrical's work or their attitude towards their customers. Friendly, reliable, polite, punctual, conscientious, and thorough. Would definitely use them again.

AEF did a partial rewire on our 4 bed residential property in July 2016 over the course of 8 days. At the quoting stage, Dave understood our needs perfectly and provided a price that beat all others, by between 2 to 6 thousand pounds. AEF went to great lengths to find a time that would work for us to carry out this disruptive work. We were away for most of the install, and our neighbours were very complimentary on AEF's tidiness and communication (a burglar alarm was triggered). The work was completed without any hitches to the time estimate provided. Having been to the property during the work, the clean up was excellent, with floor boards, carpets etc restored well. Our house was again safe for our 2 year old boy when my wife and son returned. Throughout the process, the communication has been excellent and AEF have been quick to respond to queries. There really is nothing to fault AEF on. We'll not hesitate to use again and recommend to others.

The trader was very pleasant,punctual and did the job quickly and efficiently. I would certainly recommend.

Really helpful throughout the quotation process, giving sound advice and really concerned that the job they would do would give us the best result. We were unsure about what we needed, and their consultative approach was very helpful and appreciated. Thoroughly professional staff, well presented and tidy in their approach. Costs were exactly as quoted, and we're really pleased with the result - would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Having been let down by another firm, I picked AEF Electrical without any prior knowledge, so I was especially delighted when they responded quickly and positively to my request. It was a small job, putting power into a log cabin, which created certain challenges in terms of running the new supply and working round the restrictions of the building design. After a short site visit to discuss the job, I received an estimate within the day, and had the work scheduled within a week. On the day of the job, the team turned up at exactly the agreed time (the clock was chiming as the doorbell rang!), and got straight down to work. They completed the job in one visit (we originally thought it might have required two visits), and it was everything I'd hoped for - neat and tidy, and everything in exactly the right place; what more can you hope for from tradesmen? Both the guys who did the work, and the supervisor who popped in to check everything was in order, were a pleasure to deal with; there's a sense of a real customer service ethic, which is a delight; happy to recommend!

AEF Electrical completed a range of work on my flat in Edinburgh. Can not fault them, super quick and competitive quotation, had a few additional extras that needed doing and certifications and these were done promptly and without additional charge, even though the original invoice was paid. Would have no hesitation in recommending and using this contractor again.
