This is the second time I have used Mike and his son Ben and am very pleased with the work they have completed. They disconnected an old cooker and reconnected another. Also gave advice with regard to some previous poor rewiring (done by someone else). All work carried out promptly and in good time and break down of charges explained. I would highly recommend them.

I needed a new light fitting. Michael and his son Ben arrived promptly with a new light. Because I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, Michael gave me several choices via email and was very clear about costs. They fitted the new light with a dimmer switch. They also double checked my electricity as there were loose connections in the consumer unit - the latter was done for no extra charge. Michael and Ben had the light fitted and the kitchen tidy within about an hour. It was brilliant. I've very happy with their work and would recommend them 100%.

I am a professional musican who on finalising the account, appointments and reports on the 31st July in time for the deadline a few hours later found myself with no landline no internet no burglar alarm owing to an electrical fault. Having had exemplary work done by Mike Gilbert and his son Benjamin previously, I telephoned them and wondered when they could help me. Benjamin turned up within the hour. The fault was traced to the loft lighting connection. Two hours after my call, the problem was solved, everything in order and job done. This company can be trusted to provide first class work with the utmost integrity and professionalism. Congratulations to Which? for giving Better Heating and Lighting Trusted Trader status.

Mike Gilbert came and re did the wiring and bulbs in 5 of our rooms. I was given a quote for the work which was exactly adhered to. Mike and his son were very helpful, good at communicating and undertook the work very professionally. 5 months later I had one small problem which Mike came and fixed promptly and without charge. I can strongly recommend them.

Mike & Ben did remedial work in our electrical wiring following their inspection of the wiring earlier in May. They did a thorough & meticulous job, and kept us fully informed about what they were doing, including making a diagram of the wiring for us. Their charge was very reasonable - lower than I expected.

In addition to renewing and improving the lighting in the kitchen did a complete and detailed electrical survey of the whole (oldish) house and installed a new fuse board. Michael and his son are a great team and couldn't have been more helpful without being pushy. We are very pleased with their standard of work and will certainly continue using them.

So glad to have found this company who came to install a hallway light just 2 days after I contacted them. They saved me from multiple disasters, I am so glad I sensed my own installation was going wring. Great father and son team.

I discovered Mike and his son Benjie last year - and I'm so glad I did. They've repaired a badly installed (by someone else) smoke alarm that refused to stop beeping however thoroughly it was disconnected; installed security lighting; made sense of a mass of cabling and managed to remove most of it - you wouldn't believe how different it looks under my desk now - and fitted new wall lights, always explaining carefully what they were doing and why. They're friendly, thoughtful, expert, turn up when they say they will and are a pleasure to work with. Their commitment to doing a good job makes them very good value for money - I couldn't recommend them more highly. And if you want a heart-warming story, ask Mike how he came to be an electrician...
