Coles Electrics

I have used Matt for 3 lots of work, including replacing the consumer unit, fitting extra sockets, replacing a faulty socket, fitting a new outside light and fixing a tricky wiring problem. Great attention to detail; everything was explained clearly and cleaned up when finished. Always arrives punctually and keeps you informed. Very honest and trustworthy. Supplies all necessary certification. Definitely recommend.

Matt installed a new induction hob in my kitchen on 4 Sep 2026 as a replacement for a gas hob that had been removed the day before. He visited some weeks before the work was carried out when he carefully assessed the available options and explained clearly how our kitchen electrics could best be adapted to incorporate the new hob. This initial visit was soon followed by an emailed quote which included a bulleted list of the steps in the work that we had agreed. Soon after I accepted the quote, Matt gave us a date (the one above) for carrying out the work. The work was carried out on the agreed date in a highly satisfactory way. Matt explained the progress of the work at all stages and responded with patience and professionalism to my queries. I am completely satisfied with the work carried out and would not hesitate to recommend the services of Coles Electrics.

Matt came out to resolve the electrics tripping, spent hours figuring out messy wiring to isolate the issue, then returned to fix it. He explained everything so clearly, giving options and recommendations. He managed to finish the work more quickly than originally quoted for too which is always nice! Easy presence to have in the house and was happy to work around us with regards to working from home/being in and out!

From first contact with Matt to final installation we were kept informed. He turned up at the time he stated and did a fantastic job fitting an outside power supply for the garden. Also fitted a bathroom extractor fan, ceiling light, and new switches. Matt left our property clean and tidy. Would certainly use him again and have no hesitation in recommending him.

I recently hired Matt to do some electrical work after he came recommended by a friend. Matt fitted a new consumer unit, outdoor light and some new sockets indoors for me. From start to finish, Matt was very professional and completed the jobs that I hired him for to a very high standard. He provided a detailed quote, communicated with the National Grid for me when they were needed to be involved, kept mess to a minimum during and tidied up after himself afterwards. Fixing some minor unexpected issues along the way wasn’t an issue at all and all relevant paperwork was sent through promptly after completing the work. His communication throughout it all was excellent, he was very reliable and arrived promptly each day. If I had any questions, he was always happy to answer them. Matt is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. I will be using him again for sure and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

We had two small jobs that needed doing and were able to arrange an appointment quickly and the work was done soon after. Genuinely helpful and friendly approach to work.

I recently hired Matt to install an outdoor security camera and light after he was recommended by neighbours. Matt was really professional - from providing a detailed quote, confirming he was coming a day or two before the appointment, and attending exactly when he said he was coming. I found his work to be of a really high quality and he was clearly very knowledgeable. Matt was able to provide all of the relevant certificates for the electric works which was reassuring. I had a great experience working with Matt and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Matt was recommended to us by friends who had previously used his services and I was thoroughly impressed. Matt was professional, punctual and communicated superbly with us throughout. The work was completed to a very high standard and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again for future work.

This is the second time we've had Matt out, and we couldn't be happier! We wouldn't go with anyone else; he is the best!! He replaced a broken socket, raised 2 sockets that were inaccessible behind some drawers, fixed a dodgy light switch, and replaced a light fitting. Matt is punctual, pleasant, respectful, courteous, trustworthy, explains everything and checks you are happy with the proposed work before doing it. He works non-stop and is exceptionally clean and tidy. His communication is spot-on as well. We wish all tradespeople were like Matt!!

This is the second time Matt has done work on my house and I can honestly say he is the best tradesman I have ever had. He is 100% reliable in both his communication and work. He has given excellent advice and ensured that all work was completed to my satisfaction, even fitting in some extra things for me whilst here. I would definitely ask Matt to work for me again and highly recommend him in all aspects of his work and professionalism. One happy customer!

I had not used Matt previously, he was recommended by a relative. I could not have found a better electrician. Matt's communications have been excellent throughout this process. From first contacting Matt he was very professional ,arranging to come and visit me to assess the work to be carried out. Matt was very informative about what needed to be done and I straight away felt confident that I had chosen the right man for the job. The work was carried out over 2 days and Matt kept me informed at every step, advising me of any potential snags. I did need to make 1 change to the original schedule of work to be done, Matt was able to accommodate my request without a problem. The quality of work carried out is exceptional, Matt took pride in the finished cosmetics of the job. I have some electrical knowledge and Matt was able to share some of the checks and tests information with me. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt to somebody else. I only wish that all tradesmen were as conscientious,professional and friendly as Matt.

Had an amazing experience with booking and communications with Matt. He came to fit new plug sockets and light switches, which look and work amazingly. He also sorted my fuse box to ensure it was safe and working properly. I am really happy with the work completed and couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

We have had Cole’s a couple of times now and yesterday he put in an extra kitchen socket ( we had an issue after using an extension lead for our fridge freezer-it was bad enough when it blew but could have been worse- therefore decided to have a socket so we don’t have to use extension) The work was completed in an extremely professional but in a personable way, left the area clean and tidy! Totally respected my property. Over the moon with work completed. He checked everything was working properly and received certificate of work completed next morning! Cannot recommend more highly! Thank you it is so good to have an electrician you can trust!

We booked Matt in to change some electrics during a living room revamp. He arrived when he said he would and worked hard all day for 3.5 days. He cleaned up after himself, made good any holes made to run cables through the wall, and ran through options with us when needed. He is friendly, approachable, and trustworthy. We would definitely have him do more work in our home when we need it next. Very happy with the work that was done and the quote reflected his efficiency, expertise the attention to detail. Thank you Matt!

Based on previous reviews and Which? trusted status I approached Matt for a quote for a Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), safety test and inspection of the existing electrical installation prior to a kitchen refurbishment. The quote was provided promptly and I replied with a polite and genuine query. He quickly turned down the job stating that my query suggested I didn't think it is worth that price/rate. One star for mind reading :)

We needed our electrics board replaced and updated and Matt did an excellent job with this. He tracked down any faults on our circuit and fixed them too, no problem. Very low hassle, low stress man to employ, was always calm focused and hard working. He even got the job done a day earlier than expected and knocked some money off the originally quoted amount because of this speed! Brilliant electrician, will use him again for all our electrical needs.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt for an EICR inspection and subsequent repairs. From start to finish, he was extremely professional, reliable and punctual. During the inspection, Matt thoroughly identified all the issues and explained them clearly, ensuring I understood what needed to be done. He returned to fix all the identified issues, demonstrating exceptional skill and attention to detail. Overall, I highly recommend Matt for any electrical work. He is a true professional who delivers excellent service. Thank you Matt.

We've used Matt's services a few times already, and have always been really happy with the work done. The latest job he did for us was done over a period of 4 days: installation of a new fuse board, installation of down lights and a new connection for an induction hob. He thoroughly explains the work to be done, both in person and on the budgets he sends through. Any certificates that are needed are always sent through after completion of work. He is always courteous and on time, and doesn't leave any tidying up to do after doing his jobs. 100% recommend his services as he's a very conscientious electrician.

Matt has once again delivered a first class service. All work was carried out to a very high standard. his advice was much appreciated and we now have confidence that our very old wiring and electrical fittings are safe to use.

Matt came to fix a faulty indoor light switch and to fit a new external sensor light . Matt turns up when he says he will and always kept us in touch with quotes received quickly. The work was carried out very professionally and ensured everything was brought up to the current electrical standards and the appropriate certificates issued to confirm this. Couldn't ask for more and would definitely use again and recommend to anyone .

I initially hired Matt for an inspection, which revealed that lights, sockets and the consumer unit needed replacing. I engaged Matt to carry out those works and also install a new electric oven and hob. Matt's quote was clear and explained the work to be done and he quickly answered the couple of queries that I had. He continued to communicate well and confirmed the dates for the work near the time. The actual work was carried out to schedule and the resulting installation was neat and tidy. The work areas were all cleaned up and the house left in a good state. Throughout Matt was pleasant to deal with and informative about the work being done, producing a painless overall experience.

Matt recently undertook a partial re-wire of our property. The work involved an investigation of the existing wiring circuits, and installation of new wiring. From the first meeting Matt was pleasant, helpful and professional, and is the only trader we have so far met that showed ID on arrival, and one of the few to put on over shoes when entering the house to prevent tracking dirt. Communication was one of the best we have had with a trader. From the initial enquiry we made, arranging a visit to asses the job, receiving a quote and getting a date booked, all messages and questions we had were answered promptly. Additionally Matt was very accommodating when we had to move the start date of the work due to delays with other work we having done. He also was flexible with some of the changes/additions we requested from our initial plan. With regards to the actual work. Matt was always punctual, and did a full days work (sometimes more). Something that other traders we have used don't always do. He kept us advised on what his plan was for the day, and would clean-up at the end of each day. Where required he suggested alternatives/improvements to some of the tings we had asked for. All work was done to a high standard, was completed to the estimated schedule, and was to the agreed budget/quote + the additional work we asked for. We cannot recommend Coles Electrics highly enough.

Matt carried out a comprehensive inspection and the subsequent remedial work and installed a new fuse box. All done to a high standard on time and to budget. Due to problems at my end work spread over 3 months and regular contact maintained. Kept me fully informed of what he was doing and why. All done neatly and tidily

Matt attended the property to complete an array of minor remedial works following an earlier EICR, which Matt also completed. Matt was at the property for almost three days completing the works, which included investigations into earthing problems in the kitchen and downstairs generally; the moving and installation of spotlights; installation of new ceiling lights; changing socket covers; and adding external conduit bonding between all major supply points at the property. All of the work was carried out to the highest quality and efficiently; Matt also spoke to my partner and I at each point to provide updates on what he was doing and why he was doing that particular piece of work, which provided us with great peace of mind. Matt was very polite, left the house in an immaculate condition, and was also very understanding with our nervous pet. My partner and I also found Matt to be very reasonably priced, especially for the variety of work carried out and the time spent at the property. I would highly recommend Matt for any electrical work.

Matt was able to help us with a variety of jobs, including fixing a ceiling light fixture, installing a remote controlled set of outdoor garden lights and sorting power etc for them, and putting in a new upstairs double socket for a server. Communication was clear, pricing was fair, and work was completed to an extremely high standard. Very friendly, and was happy to give us advice on other issues we were facing as well, just a genuinely nice guy who is very good at his job, and we are very glad to have found him and will definitely be using again for any electric rated jobs. Thanks Matt!
