It’s very hard to find an electrician to come and do small jobs however Michael Gilbert did! He texted me to say what time he would arrive and was here on time. A very courteous and professional man who solved the problem of installing a double switch to 6 spotlights instead of a single. He also mended another spotlight and a broken dimmer switch. Michael had the spare parts in his van so didn’t have to go and buy them which was an added bonus. He was very respectful of my newly painted walls when moving his ladder and kit. I would highly recommend him for any electrical work.

Mike and Benjamin have undertaken a range of work in our house. They are a pleasure to work with, being courteous and professional in their communication and in carrying out the work. I always have a sense of relief when engaging them, because I know that the work will be done well and without cutting any corners. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for quality and reliability.

My 91 year cousin who lives alone and has poor eyesight rang me much concerned about the loss of lighting in her kitchen together with lighting issues elsewhere in the house. Having used Trusted Traders myself on an earlier occasion, I suggested she ring them Better Heating and Lighting, a local Ealing electrician for a quotation. Mike Gilbert and his son arrived within the day, explained what needed doing and [provided her with a price which she thought was fair given the extent of the work. Mike promised to do the job within the week. Two days later, true to his word, Mike and his team returned to complete the work. My cousin rang me today to say how pleased with the job and the care and concern Mike showed for her predicament. She is delighted with the work and feels much less stressed at the prospect of having to work in her kitchen with such poor lighting. She would definitely recommend Better Heating and Lighting not only for their prompt response but also for their polite and caring manner.

I called out Better Heating and Lighting after seeing their van locally (Ealing). Michael was here within 30 minutes, and fixed the issue in an hour, was very polite friendly and offered good advice, and very reasonably priced. If you need a reliable local electrician use these guys!

I had been without electricity in my loft over Christmas and having tried checking the fuse box, was out of ideas. Mike and his son came round and immediately identified the problem, explained it to me, fixed it, and advised me on further work I could do to improve my electrics. I was struck by the pride they took in their work and the enormous knowledge they had. I was also of course delighted that they were able to solve the problem so quickly, if alarmed at the shoddy workmanship if the people who had done the initial work.

I think this is the fourth time I've used Mike (and sometimes Benjamin) over the years. Once again they turned up exactly when they said they would, completed the work quickly and to high quality (quite a long list, including replacement of some light fittings indoors and out) and left the place clean and tidy, for which they charged a fair and transparent price. Polite and friendly; happy to recommend them.

Repaired some knackered old light fittings in minutes and threw in the parts for free. Didn't mind a geriatric dog constantly getting in the way either.

Mike has been looking after our electrics for over 20 years and we have always found his work of high quality. Of almost equal importance (and unlike quite a few other companies!), Mike is efficient and reliable in terms of coming on the agreed day and time and doing a good job. And now Benjamin has joined him to carry on the family tradition!
