AJ Byrne Electrical Services

I would not hesitate in recommending Tony. I have recently moved house and although the electrics had the required checks prior to my living here, the reality of the anomalies of switches and lack of plugs and lighting in cupboards etc meant I needed lots of fiddly electrical work done. Tony has transformed the lighting and accessibility of plugs. He has done this with such skill and with the very minimum of intrusion. I am amazed and very thankful. Tony ensured he knew exactly what I wanted and explained the various costing involved. I was sent a very clear breakdown and was supplied with various options, before deciding. I feel very fortunate to know such a professional and skilled electrician lives in this area.

We needed a ceiling light wall switch replacing and transformers in our ceiling spotlights replacing. Mr Byrne was able to fix them quickly and efficiently and at a fair price. He also quoted for lighting improvements which was very useful. Great service! Would recommend to others.

We needed some preparatory electrical work done before a new kitchen was installed. We weren't sure if the house needed rewiring so initially Tony did a written report (he gave 2 options for this, at different costs, and explained what each entailed) and said rewiring wasn't necessary. He then installed some updates to our wiring (improved earthing etc) and installed a new circuit for the new oven. He spoke to the kitchen installers about what they would need or like him to do before they started their work, and gave an additional estimate with a detailed breakdown, explaining what part of the work he would normally expect them to do and include in their costs. Overall our experience could not have been better - he accurately estimated the time he'd need to do the work, broke down the estimate so we could decide if we wanted every item completed, turned up when he said he would, answered emails promptly, worked tidily and with only (or less than) the disruption he had said would be necessary, and cleared up properly afterwards. He also explained very clearly what work he had done and why, and advised free of charge on such things as the pros and cons of types of kitchen lights. He stuck to his estimate.

We got home from holiday to find half the lights and one of the power showers not working. Called Tony on the Thursday afternoon and he came after other work the next day. Found the problem quickly, popped out to get a new RCD, fitted it, and all back to normal. No mess anywhere. Very nice guy. Would thoroughly recommend to everyone. Best surprise was the bill - so we added a tip.

Tony was running late at his previous job so phoned to tell me when he'd be arriving. I only needed a socket changing - he did this quickly and with a friendly manner.
