Advice on electric shower wiring
On contacting 3 electricians about melted insulation in a shower switch only Craig at Alcon replied. With the help of photos and clear advice from him we were able to diagnose the cause and I changed the switch myself without the need for a visit. The advice was given freely without charge.

Excellent work and reasonable pricing
Craig was most efficient and courteous and was a pleasure to deal with. We needed certain light switches replaced which had failed and a new security light and security camera installed. The quality of work was excellent and I can recommend Alcon and Craig highly. He will certainly be our trusted electrician in the future

Electrical check and replacement lights.
I needed a check on the electrical system in my flat and also wanted two fluorescent tube lights in the kitchen to be replaced with similar LED lights. I found Craig very friendly and helpful and he came to do the work very promptly. He seemed to be very efficient and I am very pleased with the result.

A pleasure to deal with. Great work.
We required our 50 year old house to be checked for electrical safety, to be rectified as necessary, updated, and made ready for an EV charger to be installed. Many internal and external light fittings were to be changed along with other tasks. Several days work was required, mainly by Craig but two days included brother Adam. Everything was done most professionally to the agreed schedule and budget. The brothers were polite, tidy, helpful, most constructive in their advice - every task was completed to a very high standard. I am most happy to strongly recommend them and to call on them again when required.

Brilliant work all round
Alcon’s Craig did a terrific job outlining options for a revamp of sockets in our home office, explaining what each choice would mean for 1) cost and 2) impact on amount of work required. On the day, he outlined exactly what he would be doing, how long it would roughly take (v useful as it meant lack of broadband for a short while) and what I could expect from the final work in terms of trunking and aesthetics. The finished job was fantastic; exceptionally thorough, brilliantly professional and v tidy to boot - can’t recommend enough.

Excellent work
Craig was responsive to emails and quoted by email after I sent photos. Arrived on time, discussed the job, and installed new bathroom heater as agreed. Tidy trunking of wiring from outside the bathroom. Friendly, efficient and neat. Price slightly lower than email estimate so... all good!

Highly recommend
My family has used Craig and Adam for several years for various domestic jobs (including electrical wiring testing; fitting new kitchen lights etc) and we have always been very impressed with them. They are highly professional - responsive, friendly, reliable and arrive promptly. They always do a lovely job and have great ideas and solutions too - thoughtful as to cost as well as what looks nice and works well practically. They work very efficiently and tidy up afterwards. They also clearly explain what they are doing and patiently answer any questions. Invoices match pre-agreed quotes. Always a great and highly professional job and really nice guys too - thank you Craig and Adam!

Upgrade and more
Craig and Adam advised and completed a range of works to upgrade our electrics both inside the house and the garden. In addition they installed a charging unit for our Tesla car. Their reliability, professional expertise and courtesy were exceptional. We are very pleased to have chosen Alcon Electrics to work at our home and highly recommend their services.

Prompt, tidy, polite
Craig was very helpful, making time in his schedule to help me out with a job (removal of a wall-mounted light fixture) that came up urgently that morning. He did the job quickly and professionally, leaving the wall neatly filled in. Huge thanks and we will be glad to use you guys again :)

Very professional and always on time
I had a full Electrical Installation Condition Report which was carried out over the entire house. I was informed of the work that needed doing to bring everything up to a satisfactory standard. I felt confident with the work they told me that needed to be done. I needed a new fuse box and various sockets installed and new outside lights. My fuse box is now labelled properly and they explained everything to me. I now know where to go if I need any more work done.

Various residential work
Alcon Electrical are fantastic and I would thoroughly recommend them: we have used Alcon in our previous properties and when moving to our new house and facing a variety of electrical issues internally Alcon we’re very responsive and able to attend the property within a couple of days. As usual, they provided a clear quote, timeframe for the works and parts and we’re able to fit us in for the works asap. Alcon are very professional and trustworthy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. They work to the timelines and quote agreed, and clearly communicate any new issues that are uncovered. We also used Alcon to install outdoor lighting in our back garden and they did a brilliant job. Great recommendations of where to place lighting for maximum effect, what type would work best and totally invisible during daytime - really very pleased with how it all turned out I’m planning on getting them booked in for the electrical installation for a new air conditioning unit soon.

EV charger instal. Top work guys. Thanks.
I contacted Craig at Alcon regarding an EV charger installed at my place of business in Chalfont St Peter after purchasing an electric vehicle. Both Craig and Adam came to take a look around two days later and priced up the works the next day. They also advised me on what charger to purchase based on experience. I then booked them to complete the works and they came as early as they could which was 3 days later once my EV charger had been delivered. I was very impressed with the efficiency and how quick they came. On the day both Craig, Adam and another electrician came to fit my charger. All the work was done with minimal disruption to my property and care was taken at all times. Craig had an industrial hoover and was constantly hoovering as he went meaning no mess was made. My charger was professionally installed and the guys made sure it was working correctly before they left and help me to set up the app on my phone to control the charger. If you are looking to have an EV charger installed or any electrical work carried out don’t hesitate to contact Craig and Adam. Top work guys.

Have used Alcon on many occasions for over 10 years. They are highly skilled, customer focused and flexible in their approach. They are always timely and very tidy when working. Have recommended them to others and would not have done so unless I was completely happy with them and their work. First rate.

I needed an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger properly installed and certificated. I contacted the company, on a personal recommendation, and they came out to look at the job and provide a full quote. The company was able to do the job at quite short notice, which was important as I was due to receive the EV imminently. On the day, they arrived on time, with what they needed to complete the installation. They were happy to talk me through the work. Subsequently, they provided full documentation, including the important certification. Most importantly, I can charge my EV!
