Hi, My name is Tony Byrne, I have been carrying out electrical work for over 30 years. I am a sole trader, so it would be just me carrying out any work. I am registered with the NICEIC and carry all the relevant insurances.

I wish i could mention hobbies, but really do not get time for any, apart from being a spurs supporter, but please don't hold that against me.

I carry out all Electrical work including small jobs locally, like changing a light fitting, so don't be worried to ask for a small job to be done. Also repairs to light fittings.

We have asked Tony to repair or replace a number of things at different times: a faulty pull cord, a broken batten holder for a bulb in the loft, a 6' tube and starter, a 4' tube and starter, a kitchen tube and starter, a small solar fountain, and replacing a faulty twin socket, which was the last of this series of jobs. Tony always replies quickly, comes to have a look, discusses various options and possibilities, and is very professional, but explains what he is doing throughout the work. We are so glad to have found him, and have every confidence in him.

Tony helpfully rearranged the date for installing a completely new consumer unit until it was warm enough to have the power off all day so that we weren't going to get cold. It was a long day's work, immaculately completed. Tony explained clearly what he needed to do - and kept us in touch throughout the day. Some unexpected problems arose, which meant that he spent much longer than he had anticipated, but his invoice kept to the amount estimated. I would recommend Tony without hesitation - and have done so.

I initially had inspection & testing of my home electrics undertaken by the contractor because of their age & some items which either didn’t comply with the current regulations or were advisory were identified. The contractor provided a written quote for the necessary works & returned on the agreed date to complete the work to a high standard. He fully explained what works were completed & why & how the new consumer unit operated.

Tony moved our fuse board from under the stairs where it was not very accessible due to some storage drawers. It turned out to be a very awkward job due to the framework of the drawers restricting access to work, however Tony maintained a very positive attitude to the job, even when it took longer than expected due to this physical constraint. The job was completed most efficiently and we are so pleased with the work as the fuse board is now in our utility room and is fitted into a cupboard with a very neat access panel and is much more accessible. The house was left clean and tidy with all waste removed. Tony is very personable and and have used his services on a number of occasions. His quotations are always very competitive and we would not hesitate to recommend him based on the quality of his work.

Tony carried out a complete rewire of our upstairs lighting circuit and replace the lighting in our roof space with 2 led strip lights He completed the work efficiently and competently with the minimum of disruption to ourselves on the days we had agreed in advance. He turned up when he said he would and worked out the best way of doing the job without too much disruption . He was considerate and wore coverings over his shoes inside our house. He also did a couple of extra things I was not expecting him to do. He did not need to return as the job was done completely to our satisfaction and he is able to certify his work. I would definitely recommend home to anyone requiring any electrical work .

This is my second experience of Tony’s work following some electrical work at my home - on this occasion I used Tony to install three new ground floor lights, a new first floor drop light to illuminate the stairwell (thanks for crawling around in the loft) and to install a new metal meter cover box to an external damaged electric meter box. All this work was done at my daughters house in Pitsea - ah yes, must stock up on Yorkshire Tea.

Tony carried out work for us over two days to convert single sockets to double sockets, fit new wall and ceiling lights as well as changing switch and socket covers. He arrived promptly on both days, worked hard and to a very high standard. Where walls had to be chased out to fit new lights, switches and sockets etc, Tony did an excellent job making good so that they have been left in good order ready to be decorated and the rooms being worked in were tidied and left spotless each day. In advance of the visit Tony made contact with the supplier of the lights to ensure that he fully understood how they worked as they were non standard and the on-line description for fitting and operating was not clear and he wanted to ensure that they suited our requirements. We really appreciate the attention to detail this demonstrates and that Tony always wants to do the best for his customers. He was polite, friendly and helpful throughout and ensured that we were consulted regarding positioning of lights etc and ensured that we were happy with everything. Tony was recommended to us by a friend and we have been very happy to engage him on several occasions and have always been pleased with his work. Furthermore his prices are very competitive. We would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Tony came to review the job required which was assessing a complex wiring configuration to the house which had been badly installed. He arrived on time, subsequently gave a reasonable quote for the work with some further options over email. Once we agreed the price and date to do the work, he arrived fully prepared and got on a did the job efficiently and as specified. He also went over and above by dropping me off at the station car park in town to retrieve my car. A very genuine offer to save me getting the bus. I can highly recommend Tony as a very trustworthy friendly electrical expert, who does what he says he will do, when he says he will do it! Thanks Tony!

We used Tony for the third time today since moving into our new build 4 years ago. Previously he has installed wiring for a hot tub, and installed down lights in soffits and also other garden lighting. We asked Tony if he would come back again in order to install another light in our garage and extra plug sockets. Again Tony has done a superb job, he is punctual, touching base the day before the agreed work, and is very neat and tidy! Prices charged are very reasonable, and along with this he is one of the nicest tradespeople we have met!! He is full of knowledge and experience and has offered us different ideas of doing things each time he has attended to benefit our needs. I would highly recommend Tony for any electrical work needed and we would without doubt 100% use him for any further work needed. No job seems too big or too small for him! Thanks again Tony 👍

Tony did several small electrical jobs for us. He was so friendly and patient with me (and my baby and dog in the house) and has done a fantastic job. I felt reassured with him doing the work. He went above and beyond, going out during the day to pick up a special switch we needed, nothing was too much bother. I would one hundred percent ask Tony to do more electrical work for us.

Tony raised two (new) MK electrical sockets in our kitchen by 600mm and blanked off the redundant sockets - both new sockets included USB outlets. As a bonus Tony was able to to achieve installation of the sockets without cutting-out any additional channels in the plasterboard. In addition, Tony replaced eleven light switches with new MK switches that included integral neon lights to assist finding their locations during darkness (for safety). The work was completed on time and on budget. Tony is very accommodating and sociable, and came across as a very competent contractor, which I highly recommend.

Tony came highly recommended from a family member who had some electrical work done. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and am so glad I enquired about engaging Tony for his services. Tony initially came round to survey the work we wanted done and was extremely knowledgable, advising and discussing the work with us ensuring we were happy with the proposals. Tony made it clear that once we had the quote we could pick and choose which items we wanted completed, with absolutely no pressure. We were then swiftly provided an estimate and description of the work to be done, allowing us to look through the items and decide what work we wanted completed. We were then able to book this work directly with Tony who came back to our property across 2 days to complete this. Tony was an absolute pleasure, extremely friendly and professional. The work was completed to the highest standard, with care taken to protect the carpets, walls and furniture where necessary. Tony did such an amazing job, going above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend him for any electrical work you need.

I have no hesitation in recommending Tony Byrne whole heartedly. He is friendly, approachable, patient and professional and explains things very clearly.

He discussed options thoroughly with us and sent us a clear estimates of costs. He arrived promptly each day, leaving us nothing to clear up.

Tony has undertaken work for me on two occasions: replacement of smoke and heat alarms and replacement of eight downlights in bathrooms and kitchen. He kindly provided options (with full prices) via email both times so that I could select my preference. Tony also visited to ensure that the lights would definitely fit, which was much appreciated. Tony is a cheerful, helpful and extremely efficient electrician, who is also very tidy when working and leaves absolutely nothing to clear up - great. Also, there were no additional costs, so I knew exactly what the final amount would be.

I found Tony using the Which? trusted traders scheme, having successfully used it before for a loft conversion and a major garden project. Having been messed around by another electrician, and without having any other contacts, I looked to Which? again. After texting Tony he came to quote for the job a couple of days later. I was reassured by the Which? reviews, but Tony seemed very genuine and took time to understand the work I needed (new circuit for AC, a socket move, connection of a CCTV camera and alarm box). The quote was very clear and specific, unlike another quote I received, which said something like 'do your AC circuit and socket £XX'! Tony was very upfront about how busy he is and we agreed a date a few weeks away. I was encouraged by that. Confirmed the date the week before and arrived as agreed. Very tidy and easy to have around. Also took time to chat and explain the work. Work was completed when agreed and per the quote. I hope to ask Tony to do more work in future and am pleased to recommend him to others.

Went over and above to help fix our problem
We thoroughly rate Tony's services and felt he went above and beyond to help us fix a frustrating problem. We had purchased a hot tub from Europe that came with a European plug and couldn't get it to work with just a plug adaptor. Tony spent 30 minutes on the phone with me to help me get to the bottom of the problem. He was incredibly patient and very honest. He didn't want to just cut the plug and fix a UK plug on for example in case we experienced problems and needed to sent it back. He had several helpful suggestions and sent me a link to an adaptor he thought might work. He also came out to give us a quote for installing a plug socket if the adaptor he sent didn't work. Fortunately for us, the adaptor did work, which we were delighted about. We felt Tony went above and beyond to help us and we are very grateful for his honesty and professional help. We have recommended Tony to our friends and family.

I regularly rely on Tony to help me with all electrical problems. He can always think outside the box and arrives at solutions for the most seemingly intractable of difficulties. He is always clear about costings. Tony never pressurises. He is excellent at researching the best appliances for the job (in this case a camera doorbell system). He went to great lengths to inform me of the capabilities of the various systems on the market and the pluses and minuses of each, prior to my buying one. Tony is very patient and calm and happy to explain very carefully to me how to use the system he installed. Tony works cleanly and efficiently, in fact you would never know he had been, if it were not for the job having been done or the problem having been solved! Tony is an excellent electrician and a thoroughly decent person who is honest and trustworthy and always goes the extra mile.

We were so impressed with how friendly, knowledgeable and tidy his work work was that we asked him for a quote for extra lighting around the front and back of our house. Tony‘s quote was reasonable and due to how impressed we were with him during the hot tub set up, we asked to complete the lighting. The work took him around 10 days and Tony was accommodating to a few slight changes we had throughout with no fuss, and we are over the moon with the end result and how good it looks. Tony is reliable, was always on time and his work faultless. Tony is so friendly that after the 10 days of work we were actually sad to see him leave and we will 100% use him again for further work we have already enquired about. The thing that stood out for us both was Tony’s level of customer service which really makes him stand out compared to other people we have had in to do work for us. We have already recommended him to family and friends. Thank you so much Tony and we look forward to a catch up and a cuppa next time your over!

Cannot recommend Tony highly enough. Have recently had my kitchen re-fitted and Tony carried out all the electrical works, which involved the installation of a new fuseboard, electrical works for a new light in the ceiling, electrical point for electric oven and numerous socket moves and removals. It was all done to the agreed schedule and budget. Tony is super friendly, helpful, reliable and always responds to messages promptly. Despite a lot of messy work, the kitchen was always left in a tidy state at the end of the day. Excellent workmanship. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

To install 12 LED down-lights over 2 upstairs bedrooms. Tony made the whole thing so simple and straightforward. His advice and suggestion for choice of lights was spot on and his quote was returned promptly (very reasonable I might add). The work was outstanding & considering it meant drilling many holes in lath & plaster ceilings, there was absolutely no mess! Genuinely!! He filled the old holes almost invisibly. I can't praise his approach enough. He's a thoroughly nice man who clearly likes people and enjoys giving the best service. Absolutely recommended.

With a mixture of overdue electrical jobs around the house I decided that it was time to look for an electrician that I could discuss the various tasks with. Tony followed the plot and provided invaluable input on how it could all best be achieved with explanations of the various options for circuit arrangement and protection. Any onsite obstacles encounted were discussed and resolved, and all while dealing with the social distancing environment. If all tradesmen were as satisfying to deal with as Tony then getting other jobs done around the house would be equally rewarding.

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 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.

Needed a new consumer unit as the I had been advised the old fuse box that was fitted was no longer safe, it was about 50 years old. I also had some lighting issues which needed to be addressed.

Tony came for house visit to access and prepare a quote. The quote was received in a couple days and fully detailed the work to be done. The quote was competitive and we arranged a installation date. Tony duly arrived on time as agreed and the work was completed on schedule. I am very happy with the work carried out.

Tony had done work for me previously - replacing transformer driven halogen down-lights with mains LED ones and fitting security cameras.

Tony again showed that he's an excellent electrician - great work and really nice guy with very reasonable charges. I won't hesitate to use him again.

Our wireless burglar alarm system was installed nearly 2 years ago when we moved into our house. We have no maintenance contract so didn't know what to do when warning lights starting appearing. Using Which Local, we contacted Tony and arranged an appointment. Tony turned up when he said he would, reviewed the problem, advised us what we needed to do and arranged a call back appointment for the next evening to resolve the issue (battery problems but complicated by a broken door contact). Tony turned up when he said he would, worked carefully and thoroughly, testing at every stage of the process. The replacement part required a lot of adjusting to bring it into alignment with the rest of the system and Tony was patience itself in working through what had to be done. We are extremely grateful for the quality of the work and his positive attitude throughout. He provided great service and excellent value for money.

We wanted an alarm fitted following a spate of burgularies locally. We found Tony through WHICH and emailed him. he responded promptly, explaining how much the alarm would cost and giving us a link to the manufacturer so that we could see exactly which alarm he would fit.He explained that he fitted this particular alarm as he found it to be extremely reliable. This infromation enabled us to check out reviews of the alarm ourselves. We couldn't find any negative reviews about the alarm. It was extremely useful for us to be able to look at the alarm, learn about it and read what other people had to say about it. Tony came to do an assessment of our needs re an alarm. He spent considerable time with us, listening to what we wanted and explaining everything.Whilst he prepared his quote we invited a quote from Banham alarms. Banham came to our home and did a similar asessment. Their quote duly arrived,and Tony's arrived shortly afterwards. Tony's quote included more PIRs, an additional remote control and an additional alarm box for the rear of the property and the facility of the alarm telephoning designated numbers if it goes off to notify you the alarm has triggered. The Banham alarm did not include any of theses features and although they were availabel it was for an additional cost. In summary,Tony's quote was significantly cheaper for a far superior alarm system. We chose Tony and he came and fitted the alarm two weeks later. We are really pleased with the alarm, it is simple to use and Tony is a really pleasant, polite and freindly person to have working in your home. It was important for us to trust the person installing our alarm and we did trust Tony, infact,we left him to complete the installation and went off to a family wedding for the weekend. Tony will maintain the alarm, returning annually to check and maintain it. We have no hesitation in recommending Tony . He is a qualified and experienced electrician, he knows what he is doing. He understands the alarm he fits and how it needs to work in your home. . Alarms are hard wired into your domestic electricity supply and your landline telephone.We were unsure whether alarm installation companies always employ fully qualified and experienced electricians . We found it reassuring to know that our alarm was being installed by a fully qualified and award winning electrician. We are extremely pleased, a great job!

Tony Byrne has just completed a consumer unit upgrade for me. This is the 2nd time I have employed him, the first time to fix a broken ceiling fan motor. I can only repeat what others have said about him. He is an honest, skilled and qualified professional who remains unfazed by unexpected problems and stays the course. His charges are more than fair and I would unreservedly recommend him to anybody in need of an electrician.

If you need an electrician look no further! Mr Byrne hasn't got all these recommendations for nothing. He demystifies what is wrong and you know what he is talking about, even if you haven't a clue before hand. He is also very special in that he doesn't make you panic. Everything is done calmly, quietly and you know he knows what he is doing. I have had him for two jobs now and he is booked again. First time was a problem to be solved on the circuit board as trip switch kept tripping! Second time he fitted a nest box camera. I mentioned to him that I 'found' him on Which Local and that he has many recommendations. He was unaware of this and was genuinely delighted to hear that his work was so appreciated.

Having read the very good reviews for this electrician, I called AJ Byrne for help with an electrical problem in my freshly decorated kitchen. He immediately took time to analyse the problem (in layman's language) so that he could visit me later the same day and come prepared. He quoted a very good value hourly rate for such a quick response. When he arrived, he took off his shoes and left them on the step before entering the house and was very careful not to scratch or mark any paintwork. He checked all the light fittings, associated wiring and fuse box before re-fitting everything securely, explaining things as he went. When he turned the electricity back on the problem had been solved. Excellent and very polite service. I thoroughly recommend this electrician.

I can highly recommend Tony. He has done several jobs for me now and has always been polite, friendly but above all reliable and very professional at a competitive price. The latest job, at very short notice, was some corrective work required for contract exchange on my daughters house sale. Tony worked late on a Friday night and sent the report to me over the w/e. No need to look elsewhere for any electrical work.

Can't recommend highly enough - he resolved an electrical problem which has confounded electricians over the 23 years that we have had this house. Very methodical and professional and reasonable. Will definitely call again if other electrical issues.

Can highly recommend Tony Byrne. Tony gave me advice over the phone as to which light fittings would be suitable for the job. He gave me a price over the phone and that was what he charged. Tony arrived on time, did an extremely thorough and tidy job. A most satisfactory outcome and will definitely use his services again should the need arise.

I needed help with a light fitting and Tony was most helpful. He agreed to do some work from his home to help and gave me advice on the rest of the job. If you're looking for a helpful, reliable and cost effective electrician, this is the man for you. Thanks a lot

I chose Mr Byrne due to the favourable feedback on this site. I am very pleased I did as he was very knowledgable and extremely pleasant during his visit. He came out on a Saturday and rapidly fixed a fiddly little problem I had with my lighting circuit for a very reasonable fee. He was also happy to give me some advice on some other issues I had. If you need an electrician then look no further than this gentleman. I will be using his services again in the future.

Tony did several items of work for us over a number of days, including alterations to circuits and installing outdoor power and lighting, also installing lighting in our loft. We found him extremely helpful and willing to discuss any concerns we had. His work was neat and tidy and the time it took to complete the amount of work we had done was excellent. A thoroughly nice guy, who knew his trade inside out.

I cannot praise Tony too highly, he is the most helpful and obliging tradesman I have met. His workmanship is above questioning and his pricing highly competitive. I had needed to use Tony on 4 occassions and cannot speak too highly of him. I am glad I found him in Which Local. If you have need to use him you certainly won't be disappointed.

I found Mr Byrne's details on this website when I needed an electrician to fit some internal lights. I found him very helpful on this occasion. I used him again to fit new fuse box and do some other outstanding electrical work around house and garage. I would certainly use him again and have no hesitation in recommending him.
