David came to fix a very old set of external lights on our property. His service was exemplary from start to finish. He came first to look at the job and arrived at the agreed time, gave a thorough and expert diagnosis of the problem, gave an estimate of the costs for repair and a date on which he will do it. A delay in the arrival of materials was communicated to us immediately and with apologies, and he arrived promptly as agreed the same week and completed the job of the highest professional standards. Thank you very much David.

First impression was very good. David himself answered my call after only a couple of rings, understood the cooker-related issue straight away and gave very kind and helpful advice. Followed up with an order for the job and met the same immediate response. Parts ordered immediately and arrived promptly with subsequent site visit arranged and addressed within only a few days. Such a pleasure to find a skilled professional who does what he says he will, when he says he will do it, with no mess, no fuss at a reasonable cost.

I can offer the very highest recommendation for David and Ammonite Electrical Services. Following water damage in my home, a circuit serving several sockets was tripped out. Access issues and the layout of my property meant it was probably going to be a tricky job tracing the source of the problem, but David got it sorted very effectively. He was able to provide a short-notice appointment to find the fault and carry out repairs. As I thought, the seat of the problem was in the most inconvenient place and related to some damaged old wiring. David made everything safe and got the sockets working again; the price for the job was very competitive and exactly in line with the agreed fees. He cleared up the area and provided a friendly and professional service from start to finish. If you're looking for electrical work in David's service area, you couldn't do better than to contact him.

David is truly professional with an excellent manner and is very well spoken. He explains very carefully in detail what the job involves, and importantly any uncertainties. He installed several ceiling spot lights at a really good price and to a very high standard. He also used high quality parts. With David there are no nasty surprises in terms of costs, and he only uses high grade parts. This can't be said for many other traders I have had the misfortune to deal with.

I explained I had a problem with a faulty oven switch. David agreed a time to come as soon as his schedule was free to do so. He arrived promptly at the time agreed. (with a text beforehand to say he was on his way which was a nice touch) He identified and explained what he thought the problem might be with the switch and fixed it. We also had a couple of queries regarding electrics in our house which David was happy to take time to answer and gave us a good idea of what we might need to do in future if we do decide to have some work done on the house. I would definitely contact David again for any electrical work which we may need doing in the future. Many thanks!

David at Ammonite has recently completed full electrical inspections at my block of eight apartments in Birmingham, which he did exactly on time and to a perfect standard. Superb communication at every stage with comprehensive 5-year certificates provided upon completion. David even managed to attend to some general fixes whilst completing the inspections, including getting my car park lighting back up and running again, which really was very much appreciated. David has since been back to fit an oven for me in another one of my apartments, When I called, he just so happened to be in the area, and the oven was fitted & working within half an hour... you really can't get better service than that, and I can't recommend David at Ammonite highly enough. Service & professionalism to this level is so rare these days - thoroughly & completely recommended!

David replaced a failed door switch and also solved an electrical fault we had. The fault was quite difficult to identify but David found the fault quite quickly and came up with a novel solution to what was quite a complicated fault caused by a poor job done many years ago. David was very professional and just stuck at the job until he had resolved it. He was also very reasonable in how much he charged for the job. I would thoroughly recommend David to anyone with an electrical problem - he is excellent.

Having recently moved into a 1970s flat I was keen to update the consumer unit and have the 'electrics' checked. David visited the flat as arranged - from the first I, like others, was sure he was right for the job and so it proved. David replaced my consumer unit, installed dedicated cabling for an oven, additional sockets, an extractor fan, bathroom down-lighting and attended to some other small electrical needs. Because of ongoing building / renovation work I needed David to visit at various times throughout the 'project' which he did - always keeping to arranged dates and times. I cannot thank David enough for the work he has done for me and at a fair price. Would I use him again or recommend him to others? - 100% yes!

We were completely reassured from the first phone call that David is completely trustworthy and professional, a lot of other electricians we'd spoken to were happy to say they could quote and complete the work without seeing the scale of the job, but he made sure to come out and check everything over so he could quote us correctly. His prices were very reasonable and he was available quickly to do the initial testing. Whilst here he was very efficient, friendly and gave us really clear information about the best way to move forward. David replaced our very old consumer unit today, all work was completed to a very high standard, he was professional and put us at ease. Will be recommending David to anyone looking for an electrician and will only be using him for any future work we need done!

David will be my only choice for electrical work in the future. I emailed a number of providers when sourcing my work & David's response was prompt, detailed & informative. The quality of his first impression left me so reassured that l immediately decided that he was the only choice. After asking useful introductory questions, he was able to provide me with a quote by email & still agreed to visit my property in person for a more thorough inspection, at a time that suited me. In person David was courteous, professional & thorough, & even did some preparatory work before confirming a quote that came in under the budget that l had actually set for myself. Between this initial visit & the agreed time for carrying out the work (again at a time that suited me) David kept up an excellent level of conversation by email. The initial approach to several of his 'competitors' had just resulted in an email back saying "call this number", so I continued to be won over by his approach. When it came to doing the work, David was there at the agreed time, completed the work within the agreed window & charged the agreed price. l was also able to pay in the manner most convenient to me. Even though it was a relatively small domestic job, David left me feeling like a valued customer throughout, including wearing covers on his shoes when entering my home, which l really appreciated. l am delighted with the results of his work & have already passed on his details to friends.

I would like to take the opportunity to praise Ammonite Electrical Service. Having recently moved to Saltford I was in need of electrical works to be carried out in my garden workshop. I sent Ammonite an email with a list of the jobs I wanted done. Within a few hours I had a reply and agreed a date for a visit to receive a costs quote. Upon the visit from David, he was very thorough with checking my current electrics and ensuring what I wanted could be done to provide a long lasting, yet within budget setup. I had some following queries, which no matter how trivial they were David was happy to answer and explain all the details. Having accepted David's competitive quote, he arrived punctual with all the materials required. He worked through the heatwave we were currently having without ANY compromise on the service expected. Works were completed beyond my expectations. -To name a few, I was particularity impressed how there was no mess left behind (he had his own rubbish bag which he even took away with him), provided the finest attention to detail such as sealing around joints and labelling everything up. Once the works were completed, David then spent the time with me to ensure I was happy with it. Overall, my experience with Ammonite Electrical Services was exceptional from the start to end proving a reliable, prompt and an outstanding professional service. Once again, thank you David!
