Excellent work and service
Tony carried out an inspection of our domestic electrical installation, sorted out an existing fault on the ring main and subsequently fitted a new consumer unit. He also issued an Electrical Installation Certificate and notified Building Control. All the work was undertaken in a most professional and competent manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tony to others. Dr M Downey

EV Charger Disconnection for House Move
I have used Anthony Travis Associates for several different electrical works, some big, some small. Quality of work is always excellent and fully certified. Service is prompt and nothing is too much trouble. Will give advice without obligation.

Installation of an induction hob and adding a powerful electrical supply cable
Tony first came to install an induction hob. The delivery company for the hob had signed up to do this work but eventually declined because it turned out to more complicated than they could cope with. After completing this task, I asked Tony to come back again and install a more powerful electrical supply cable allowing the hob to be used at its full potential. This involved having the cable being partly put underground, mounted on outside walls and going through the attic. All went according to plan except for the delayed delivery of a required RCBO. The delay was due to an error by the wholesaler. Tony is incredibly detailed and wants everything to be perfect. He delivers excellent quality work, and I am happy to recommend him.

Shower cutting out
We were very pleased with the way Tony approached and solved our problem with the shower. He kept us informed with what he is doing and with useful recommendations. He would go out of his way to make sure problem is solved to our satisfaction at very reasonable cost. This is one professional we would recommend and and call on in future.

Exceptional service, Tony went out of his way to make sure I had the lights I wanted
There was a mix up with the initial delivery of my lights (my fault entirely), Tony sorted it out. He came when he said he would, texting to tell me when he was 20 minutes away. When he arrived and saw the new lights he realised that they were not as they appeared on the website and went to the wholesaler to get different ones, which are great. He really went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the lights. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, helpful electrician. As a bonus, his invoice was less than I expected!

Very diligent, definitely recommended!
We had a very strange incident with our wiring that seemed to defy logic. Tony was incredibly thorough with his fault-finding, and very patient when trying to explain to me how circuits work. Ultimately it seems fixing the root problem would need half the house rewiring, which isn't on the cards for us right now, so when Tony suggested a fix that would make things safe until we can afford to overhaul everything I was relieved! Reasonable rates and excellent service, I definitely know who I'll call if we have any more problems!

Very Satisfied in Every Way
Tony was recommended to me by a friend and I'm very glad that he was.I asked him to replace a kitchen mixer tap and a shower thermostatic control valve.He carried out the work quietly and efficiently and the end results were to my complete satisfaction.He even carried out some additional work on the shower valve with no extra charge.The other work he did was to repair a leak underneath a bath and he did this with much less trouble than we had both expected.

Installing appliances, running new electrical cables all done quickly and efficiently
Tony is fantastic and gets the work done quickly. He worked to budget, installed all we needed doing. We needed a new electric oven, hob and extractor hood installed, which he did superbly. Managed to install a new 32 amp cable from our basement to our kitchen, easily hiding the cable away. He didn't complicate things with crazy solutions, unlike other quotes we had, he just got on with it. I couldn't recommend him enough and will be calling on him again when we need more work doing. Tony was great with our daughter too :)

Delighted to have made contact with Tony through Which? Trusted Traders
I am delighted to recommend Tony following his completion of a major upgrading to the ' electrics ' in a property I own and which was being prepared for letting out. His knowledge of modern electrical standards and legal requirements, and attention to detail in the work he did, are second to none. Everything was clearly explained beforehand and backed up with all the necessary paperwork. Tony was most helpful, a pleasure to do business with and I would not hesitate to use his services again in the future.

Trustworthy and Reliable
I have only recently discovered Tony and I was impressed by his professionalism in handling my first plumbing issue, that I had him back for additional plumbing and electrical jobs. My recent job for him was to add outdoor extension and lighting and it was a pleasure to have an experienced trader willing to spend time and effort to map out the task at hand and quote accordingly. I find him to be responsive, professional and trustworthy and I would definitely recommend Tony for your plumbing and electrical needs.

Excellent work
We have used Tony for lots of jobs over the past 8 years; his work is consistently outstanding and he always leaves the place spotless. He's done a lot of rewiring inside our house and more recently helped us think about ways to use lighting in the garden. Tony is great at solving awkward problems and thinking around things creatively (he also has a great taste in music!)

Tony carefully attended to my requirements and advised me appropriately. He was able to find a solution to my legacy wiring problem without wholesale replacement and explained carefully what he was proposing. The work was on quote and on time. Overall he was friendly and very helpful at all times.

Tony Travis
Tony has been looking after my flat's plumbing and electricity for several years. Earlier in May 2019 I went away for a few days leaving Tony to replace my 50-yr old immersion heater. He did this meticulously in my absence & on my return everything was neat, tidy and up & running. Further, as he had done the job more quickly than he originally estimated, he reduced his estimated cost. I could not ask for anyone better. I recommend him absolutely.

Conscientious and reliable electrician
As a jobbing builder, landlord, and property owner I have worked with Tony over many years on a variety of projects. Alterations, complete rewires, fault finding, in fact anything electrical. Tony differs from the average spark in that he doesn't consider the job with a view to how it might best suit him, rather he is genuinely concerned to provide a solution that suits the client. He is extremely conscientious and also a really nice guy to have around.

Super-conscientious
Tony did two major jobs for us, (i) putting in a new shower, pump and ancillary work, (ii) fitting a washbasin and plumbing, new toilet and new tiles in a very small separate toilet room. We began with a vague conceptual idea of what we wanted. Unlike other quotes, Tony's showed detailed thought about how to implement. He was very considerate, thoughtful, careful and reliable throughout. He made every effort to explain to us, to consult us, and to ensure we were in agreement, and satisfied, at every step along the way. The quality of the finished electrical and plumbing work was excellent. Despite various complexities in the jobs, Tony stuck to his original labour quote, and was entirely fair, detailed and accurate with the charges for various parts required. Along the way, we asked him to do various small jobs, that were not in his original brief. We are entirely satisfied with how he coped with those too. When he finished we felt we had made a friend, as well as meeting an exceptional good tradesman. Highly recommended.

Lovely chap, and excellent standard of work...
I'm hoping Tony never retires, because I'm expecting him to be the last electrician I ever use! He's very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and more conscientious than any electrician I've ever encountered. His work was of an extremely high standard, with not even a speck of dust left behind afterwards, and I had certificates for all work completed in my inbox within 24 hours. Very, very impressive, and his prices are absolutely fair for the work he does. You may be able to find cheaper perhaps, but not at this standard of workmanship and care - he tests everything thoroughly and left me feeling absolutely confident with every part of the numerous jobs he did for me. I would recommend very highly indeed.

New wall lighting installed & 2-gang switch; Multiple sockets added to the ring main. We discussed exactly what I wanted where, and I left Tony to get on with it. He is a very safe electrician, checking all circuits and ensuring they are off before working, informing me so I could make sure it wouldn't impact what I was doing. The chasing is neat as are the sockets and light, and when one socket turned out not to work he returned and replaced it as soon as possible.

A very helpful person, he worked with us to make our busy diaries and his fit together quickly and then solved the actual problem rather than doing what we asked without thought- the wiring in our kitchen was not up to the spec recommended for our new cooker, so rather than just fit a new connection, he called AEG to get advice on what was needed, helped us to find an AEG-approved fitter who could do the job without invalidating our guarantee, and suggested how we might negotiate getting AEG to pay for this. His charge for all this - plus a series a helpful comments on other aspects of our systems - was hour's labour, which was very reasonable indeed.

Called Tony late on a Saturday afternoon and he got back to me within the hour offering some good advice - as he was not in Reading he was unable to come out until the Monday. Appointment was made for him to fix a blown house fuse and disconnect an old cooker and then return to re-connect the new one. Punctual service throughout and good communication. Very reasonable rates. Although this was a small job for Tony he gave it as much consideration and importance as a large job.

Tony carried out an extensive investigation, testing and rewiring of a dangerously faulty wiring of a flat I had purchased, including provision of new sockets for kitchen appliances, and working late at night to provide the facilities required next morning by the kitchen fitters.
