Good but expensive
Came promptly to fix a fault with the lighting system. All that was needed was to tighten a screw in a junction box. Good service however very expensive. Charged £90 per hour when the standard rate for a professional electrician is £60.

Great value, quick and efficient service with the minimum of fuss.
Matthew at Brighter Electrical was recommended by our neighbours and did a number of electrical jobs for us, mainly installing a number of new plug sockets, some in quite tricky locations. The work was quick tidy and efficient and he came back straight away to sort out a small issue. Would definitely recommend.

New Consumer Unit, Wall lights etc
We used Brighter Electrical 9 years ago to rewire our previous house in London. Matthew and his team did an excellent job, so he was our natural choice to install a new consumer unit, external wall lights, an external Ring camera and other fittings in our new house. As with our previous experience, Matthew was able to offer helpful advice on the phone and very reasonable pricing. Everything went very smoothly on the day and we are completely satisfied with the work he has done. We would not hesitate to recommend him to friends or call on him again if the need ever arose.

Quick help in time of need
I'd contacted a few electricians who had ghosted me, weeks later my issue wasn't fixed and we had estate agent photos looming. I contacted Matt who was responsive, found a creative solution to my problem, came early to my house to fit with my schedule, and fixed the issue at a reasonable price. All before the photos. I was so stressed, and he came, got things done quickly, and I am so grateful. Definitely would recommend.

Competent, good humoured and good value
I had two lights in different rooms working intermittently. Matthew responded promptly to my request for help and came when he said he would. He very quickly came up with likely reasons for the problem, went immediately to buy the things needed and fixed them. He gave a clear explanation of what he had done and was good humoured throughout. The charges were reasonable and the invoicing process was a breeze. I would definitely use Matthew again and would recommend him.

Top quality work. Friendly, knowledgeable and fairly priced too.
Matt and his colleague did a fantastic job of installing a sensor light outside for me, as well as fitting four internal lights. Previously they also installed a light in my summer house. Matt sourced a couple of the lights for me, which I requested, and he also threw in some information that helped me regarding some of my other electrical equipment just to guide me when doing things myself at home. They arrived bang on time, and also cleaned up well after the work was completed. Excellent service. Very happy to recommend Matt and his trusted colleagues.

Friendly and did a great job
Matthew came by and not only helped with the electrical jobs we couldn’t do but also gave us some advice on what we can do. He also helped fix a plug that we were sure was totally dead. Would book him again.

Small job but done very well
The job was small (replacing a pulley light switch in the bathroom) but he turned up on time, was very efficient and great to deal with. Would highly recommend.

Excellent and trustworthy
I have used Brighter Electrical a couple of times - most recently Matthew carried out an electrical survey and a range of remedial work on our new property. He worked quickly and efficiently with fair pricing. He did everything from label the fuse box to install a ring security system to earth bonding gas/water pipes and replacing every plug socket in the house as they were all failing (one of the reasons we called him!). He managed to do all the work without any repairs to plastering needed which is amazing really. Would highly recommend Matthew!

Highly recommend
Delighted to recommend Matthew. I've been using him about 4 years. He did an overhaul of the electrics in my flat prior to my renting it out and was thorough and professional throughout. He explains what is necessary and what is optional, pricing for both. During the extensive work he brought in two employees and supervised them well. They left the flat clean. He responds quickly. He popped in several times to check on things my tenants raised questions about for free (they weren't issues related to his work in the end). When an LED light fitting went a few weeks ago he was there swiftly and fuss free to replace it. If only all tradesmen were like Matthew! I've told my letting agents not to let anyone else in the flat as I only trust him. Highly recommend.

Recommended by Interior Designer
Brighter Electrical was recommended by our interia designer to wire-wire the study but they also redid the garden wiring. Both jobs were completed on time and, as far as we can see, to a great standard. They were very creative with lighting solutions.

Great Service
We have used Matthew several times and always found him very efficient and reliable. He came to SE19 to look at the problem, emailed a quote which was accepted, and turned up as arranged on the appointed day. We are very happy with the completed work, and will certainly be using his services again. Matthew and his company are highly recommended by us. K.A.

Great service.
I called Brighter Electrical Ltd after reading all the wonderful reviews on 'Which Trusted Traders.' He gave me a detailed quote for the job and the final invoice was the same although they experienced a few unexpected issues during the work. In fact they did an excellent job changing an old fuse box to a new one. He also fitted a new Ring door bell and was very patient in explaining to me how it worked! I'll definitely use him in the future and would highly recommend him.

Professional
This is the third time we have used Matthew now and extremely pleased with his work. He’s professional, tidy and explains everything he is doing. Honest with recommendations of what is actually “needed” rather than just nice to have so you can choose; which is much appreciated. Oh and also completely reliable and responsive, which is sometimes hard to find in this trade! We won’t hesitate to use Matthew again.

Top class electrician
This was the third occasion that I have contacted Mathew and requested his services. On each occasion, the estimate for the work was clearly set out in detail, and Mathew arrived precisely on time. His work is thorough and he is happy to explain exactly what he is doing. This latest work was to fit LED strip lighting under the kitchen cupboards, and he did a great job. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brighter Electrical, and I would have no reason to go anywhere else in the future.

Identified problem quickly and fixed at reasonable price
Matthew came to fix a dodgy extractor fan in our bathroom. He brought a colleague with him (possibly a trainee). Together they quickly identified and repaired a problem with the switch with minimal fuss and no mess. Only charged his callout fee which was very reasonable.

We've used Matthew from Brighter Electrical for about 5 years. We get excellent work including rewiring our house to installing new appliances and new lighting. Matthew is very helpful in explaining things and ensures that he or the team turn up when they say they will. The quality of work is excellent

Good service
I asked Matthew to fit the electrical items (underfloor heating, lights, fan, lighted mirror) for a bathroom installation. Before starting he requested the item details, which meant he was able to quote over the phone and he was prepared before turning up. The work quoted was two days - to be completed mid-installation and at the end. He was clear about what needed to be done and was upfront with any potential issues that he might find before starting the job. The work areas were left clean & tidy, and his attention to detail was obvious in the work & also in the care he took when moving equipment through the house. The work included creating channels for the wiring and the equipment they used left minimal amounts of dust in the house, for what is normally a messy job.

Faultless
Matthew fitted a new light outside the front door and a new switch on the ceiling of the toilet. He was able to do this the day after I telephoned. He arrived when he said he would, was friendly and polite and did both jobs in just over an hour. The total cost was less than half what I expected. I can wholeheartedly recommend him.
