Amazing company, great work

We enlisted the help of Mike and his team to survey the home we were planning to move into, and then to rectify the issues discovered during the survey. The subsequent works were substantial, but we felt very comfortable and confident in Mike throughout the process. He was incredibly communicative and open about every step of the process, and was very clear about pricing and timings ahead of time - really great service. The works completed on the house were great, with several high-urgency fixes being completed promptly and safely, and also including cosmetic jobs like adding new LEDs to rooms and replacing the old doorbell with a new system. Overall we found Mike and co. were fantastic to work with, and there's no question who we will be reaching out to the next time we have any electrical works that need to be done.

I have been using this firm for many years. Mike and his son visited my home to sort out a non-working extractor fan and an electrical issue we have. The work was completed efficiently and professionally. They also visited within 48 hours.

It was very nice to find a local company that was also interested in doing smaller jobs. I had 3 light fittings changed and a problematic electric shower resolved. Mike and Alex did all the required checks during the work and explained what the problem was and how it needed to be resolved. Very friendly and tidy, and good value. I will definitely be using them again, and also recommend them to anyone who asks me if I know of a good electrician. Thanks guys the shower now works!

Having moved into my new home, it was apparent there were numerous electrical issues. Mike and Alex were able to identify all concerns and provide quotes for the work. Essentially the house needed a major upgrade and making it safe. They were clean, considerate and always on time. I feel much safer now that the work has completed and continue to use them for other electrical needs including garden lighting and sockets, utility room updates and changes and new hanging lighting. Would recommend 100%!!

Better Heating and Lighting Ltd attended as arranged. We used this service again as we had major electrical work carried out by the company earlier this year. All work was neatly and professionally carried out and we'll be happy to use their services again if or when required. It had previously been difficult to get an electrician to even respond to our enquiries so this year we chose the company from Which? Trusted Trader and are glad to have done so.

We called Mike to help replace a bathroom light fitting that one of our housemates had attempted to DIY. Mike and Alex were so friendly and we laughed about how common a call out this was (their van even says Don't DIY on the side)! Our house is quite old and has some creative wiring in places, but they checked and tested everything thoroughly to ensure it was safe before fitting the new light with no problems. Quick, tidy, professional and a pleasure to deal with. We would thoroughly recommend Better Heating and Lighting and will be keeping their details should we need any more work.

I picked Mike’s firm because of the excellent reviews on this site and wasn’t disappointed. He and his son worked as a team to find and repair the fault, doing so swiftly and explaining what had happened and what they were doing to fix it. An absolute find and I’m sure I’ll use them again.

We had Mike and his son upgrade our very old fuse box. They carried out the work to time and to quote and we very much appreciated the thoroughness with which they carried out the work. Felt like our new flat had had an electrical MOT by the time they had finished. They tidied up after themselves and were a pleasure to deal with and friendly to boot. Definitely recommend them.

Michael and Alex carried out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) on the circuits contained in our old plastic consumer unit and subsequently installed a new ten way, high integrity, dual RCD, fire rated consumer unit. Whilst doing this they found some faults, such as hazardous wiring, rodent chewed cable etc. and fixed them on the spot. The charges for the work seemed fair to us and they were very prompt in addressing the problems as they were uncovered, in quoting and in sending appropriate paperwork. Michael explained each step and was very clear and helpful. We felt we were in safe hands. We phoned him when we had a concern after a visit and he was helpful and reassuring. He and his son Alex are prompt, efficient, clear up after work effectively and are charming people who do an excellent job. Highly recommend this company.
