Coles Electrics

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!

Matt had previously undertaken several pieces of work for us, all done on time to the highest standard. On this occasion, we asked him to replace an existing distribution board in the garage / annex which also provided power to outbuildings and remove a defective external light above the front door before installing a replacement. Both jobs were completed as agreed, on time and the dates/times agreed. Matt arrived promptly on both days and undertook the work to his usual very high standard. Extremely pleased with finished work. Matt is an excellent electrician, respects the property where he is working, always clears up after he has completed and is a really nice chap. Would have no hesitation whatsoever in asking him to undertake any further electrical work we need and similarly would recommend him immediately to anyone looking for a reliable, quality tradesperson who specialises in all aspects of electrical works.

Matt undertook several pieces of work for us over a three-week period. This consisted of an initial safety assessment of the house electrics, followed by installation of new supply cabling and sockets to external buildings, addressing the numerous issues identified during the safety check and installing a new main fuseboard in the house. All work was detailed in clear quotations and fully explained by Matt in person prior to initiation. Matt kept us fully informed of what he doing throughout, always arrived when he said he would, cleared up afterwards and carried out the work with the minimum of fuss and disruption. Matt's work is of an extremely high standard and highlighted to us the difference between a quality electrician and some of the other electricians who have worked for us in the past. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Matt. In addition to being an excellent electrician, he is a really nice person who was a pleasure to have working for us. We have already contracted Matt to undertake further work for us.

I have recently had an outdoor socket, decking recessed lighting and an outdoor light fitted by Matt. The work carried out was excellent and carried out to an exceptional standard. Matt explained everything very thoroughly and provided all the relevant certificates. The workmanship was incredibly neat and was completed to schedule and budget. I would highly recommend Matt.

I can't rate Matt highly enough - he did what he said he would, when he said he would do it, and did a high spec job for a very fair price. Matt is organised and tidy, he finds really good solutions to snags and provides easy to understand advice, all backed up by formal certification. Would definitely recommend Matt to anyone, he's a professional you can rely on.

Matt provided an excellent service from start to finish. He clearly explained what needed doing and why. Our house is an older property where virtually nothing is standard. Matt worked round the challenges and we are left feeling that the electrics are safe and up to standard. I'm really glad that I used the Which trusted trader service and that I used Coles Electrics. Will definitely recommend to anyone else needing work done.

I would ‘highly’ recommend Matt as a professional in his trade as an Electrician. I did my research looking for an electrician and from reading his experience and reviews before contacting Matt. From the time of booking the electrical assessment, through to arranging another appointment for the work to be completed and receiving the report. You do know you have a professional in how he works. The work Matt completed was for the sale of my property. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for the high standard of work he provides👍

Matthew Cole (Coles Electrics) carried out a partial rewire of kitchen and outbuilding, replaced my old consumer board with an updated Consumer Board (18th edition) ,supplied a small bathroom heater/kitchen light and tested all of my electrics in the house for my peace of mind, along with some small electrical jobs around the house. The work was carried out to the agreed schedule and on budget. I have no hesitation in recommending Matthew Cole, he carried out the work with professionalism, to a very high standard and his work ethic was one hundred percent. He was courteous, explained everything that he was doing in a way that was easy to understand, totally punctual and left the house tidy at the end of each day, before he left each day he always double checked everything to make sure all was well. He promptly sent me all the necessary paperwork, certificates etc. setting out all details of the work. I was exceptionally pleased with the work he completed for me and will be using again without any hesitation, I have also recommended him to many of my friends.

After having the quote for a new consumer unit installed and shower connection along with extra jobs that was not included in the quote Matt charged an additional £50 for the extra work was considerable so very fair! I then woke one morning with no lights I texted Matt who called out that evening and charged me nothing! Sorted the problem which was due to moisture building up in a fitting Matt did not fit! Exceptional!! This electrician is the fourth emergency service and cannot praise Matt enough!!!

Very pleased with the replacement lighting that Matt sourced and fitted. As other customers have noted, Matt is very professional, prompt in responding to our initial enquiry via his website and to all emails and calls. His advice and technical knowledge all very helpful. The work was completed quickly, to budget, and to our full satisfaction. Thank you, Matt!

Matt fitted a new consumer unit and rectified several remedial items that had previously been identified during a periodic inspection. The work was carried out in a tidy manner, on the scheduled dates and at the agreed price. I found that Matt responded to emails promptly and was very helpful when in our home, particularly by keeping us informed which circuits would be off and when. I will certainly ask Coles to quote for any future work.

Matt replaced my old fuse box with a modern consumer unit. Thoroughly professional and friendly throughout and he explained the whole process clearly before carrying out the work. He was also able to fix several pre-existing faults around the house at the same time. Would thoroughly recommend.

Coles Electrics fitted down lights in our bathroom and we are really pleased with the results. The work was carried out to the highest standards and to the agreed schedule and budget. Matt kept us informed throughout the process, from providing a quotation to completing the work. Matt has a very professional attitude and a great work ethic. Matt was very thorough, did an excellent job and explained the work clearly. Matt took time to answer my questions. The new down lights in the bathroom look great, he really has done a brilliant job. Matt ensured that the bathroom was left clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending Coles Electrics and will be sure to contact Matt for any future electrical needs.

We have used Coles electrical services several times on each occasion we have been delighted with the quality and reliability of the service provided. Always on time and very pleasant to deal with. Each job is tidy and certificated, I would only use this service in future. Totally recommended.

We’ve had Matt do various electrical jobs today and all through from my first contact Matt has been excellent. Great sense of helpfulness, responding to all contacts in a timely manner and the quality of the work is excellent. We are looking at adding more sockets and other electrical work in the new year and I’ll definitely be asking Matt to do that work.

Matt is a professional, efficient and friendly electrician. He installed 3 mains lights on my drive, an outside mains socket and replaced 2 security lights. He took the time to explain what he was doing and answered any questions I asked. I was impressed with his work and would certainly recommend him.

Matt at Coles Electrics is a professional, efficient tradesman and and someone you can absolutely trust. I required a complete rewire of my property, which involved over two weeks worth of work. Matt carried out the work to an outstanding standard, communicating with me on a daily basis to inform me of his progress and to ask my opinion on various aspects of the work (such as socket and switch placement). Due to the robustness of the brickwork in the house, the chasing of the wires turned out to be more laborious than expected- however, Matt still carried out the work in the exact amount of days as quoted, and did not increase the cost of the job. Matt discussed my future plans for the property with me, and helped me plan out placement of sockets for future instalments, which I had not previously considered (such as for the relocated boiler, kitchen equipment, etc) . His expertise has therefore saved me time and money down the line, and I can’t thank him enough for his advice and expert skill. Matt kept the property clean and tidy all throughout, and finished plastering to a high standard. After the work was completed, Matt took time to explain the new set up to me and ensured that I understood how to operate everything safely. In short, Matt provided an exemplary service and communicated every step of the way, and I will no doubt be using his services again.

Matt from Coles Electrics replaced our old fuse box with a modern, safer consumer unit. It was a great experience from right from the initial contact through to the quote, booking the job, and the work being carried. It was easy to communicate with Matt throughout, and he explained clearly the options for the new unit so we could make an informed decision. Matt also talked us through the work he'd need to do on the day, including all the safety checks, so we knew what we were actually paying for. The work was all carried out professionally and tidily, with the new earth bonding and meter tails neatly boxed in. A few minor issues such as missing earth wiring on light fittings were sorted with no extra hassle or cost. I received the electrical installation certificate and invoice on the same day as the job, so everything was sorted quickly and efficiently. Very happy with the job, and I would definitely use Coles Electrics again.

I have been very impressed with the service provided by Matt in every respect. Over the course of two days, Matt completed an electrical safety check on our house, tidied up junction boxes and installed numerous new lights and switches. Several aspects of his work stand out for me. a). Quality of work. He knows his stuff. All work was completed to the highest standards and thoroughly tested before he left. He is a "fixer", competently tackling even the most difficult or fiddly jobs. b). Work ethic. He worked incredibly hard throughout the days with few breaks. He worked efficiently and effectively through a big list of jobs. c). Communications and customer service. His email communication was patient and helpful and he turned up punctually. He went above and beyond, completing a range of jobs that had not been specified. He was extremely considerate, tidying up after himself, working in a Covid secure manner. In summary, Matt is highly professional and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

We asked Matt to replace and reposition 3 lights in our flat. He answered all of our questions beforehand and arrived on time. He explained what he was going to do and advised possible issues. Luckily no problems arose and he completed the work efficiently and to a high standard. He was Covid compliant and left the area clean and tidy, making good the ceilings where he had moved the lights. Would have no hesitation in recommending.

Had Matt around to install a new socket in our hallway. Communication throughout has been brilliant. Came round to give us a quote, was quick with response and booking in the works. Matt was efficient and left no mess behind. Would highly recommend and will be using Coles Electrics again for some more work which we would like completed in our home.

This is the second time we have used Coles electrics. The first was to fit some extra sockets in a utility room and fix a TV flat to a wall without cables showing. The second, fitting an outside socket. Both jobs were completed to a high standard, certified and look great. Safety is always paramount in Matt's work and he clearly explains the job in question. Furthermore, he is a great problem solver. What has seemed very straight forward jobs have presented challenges that in no time at all he has solved.

We would like to recommend Coals Electrics They have done a wonderful job on our old miner's cottage we had a full house rewire and each day they cleaned up after their selves every evening before they left. They went above and beyond our expectations. We would recommend this company to everyone they finished on time and was spot on budget even with the wife's can we change this can we change that they were so obliging and polite when they left on last day there was no trace of them being here. Big shout out thanks Matthew & Mike

Matt rewired my shower and replaced my fuse box. He did a fantastic job with everything very neat and tidy taking great care not to damage any decorating. He was very polite and friendly, kept me informed of what was going on, gave me choices when we discussed the work required, arrived on time and completed the work for the estimate. Before he arrived he sent confirmation emails and indicated what time he would arrive. A very professional service I would strongly recommend Matt for any electrical work.

I contacted Matt to replace two bar spotlights with two new light fittings in my kitchen. Matt was excellent in his communication, prior to visiting to quote for the work, and subsequently leading up to the time and date arranged for the work to be carried out. I cannot rate Matt's communication and courtesy more highly. Matt carried out the work as discussed, within the timeframe and at the price Matt had quoted. In addition to the work Matt carried out, he kindly fixed two sockets which I had been unable to fix securely to the wall. He provided honest and helpful advice about adding an extra light fitting to the kitchen area. I will be returning to Matt for any future work I need to be carried out. He is helpful, honest, communicative and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Matt; I only wish I knew more tradesmen as trustworthy and reliable.

Matt supplied and installed a new consumer unit to replace an old fuse box and he also rewired an existing external light, including fitting a new conduit for the wiring. He undertook a full electrical inspection prior to starting the work and provided me with a clear explanation of his findings. Matt turned up when he said he would, he was courteous, conscientious and I am very satisfied with the work that he has undertaken. I wouldn't have any hesitation in using Matt again for any further electrical work that needed doing.

Matt extended the existing ring main circuit in order to install 4 additional sockets, supplied and fitted 2 led under cupboard lights, and upgraded the main earthing. In the initial safety check he encountered a possible problem. He clearly explained the reason why he needed to locate the root of this and checked every socket in the house. He is very pleasant, efficient and organised. I have already recommended his work.

Matt was recommended by a friend and we couldn’t be more pleased. From his initial visit (providing a quick and very clear estimate) to setting a date and completing the work, he was pleasant & professional and his experience shone through. We discussed all aspects of the job and he was open to our input whilst always mindful of the regulations. His initial survey of our entire system was first class and allowed him to find a solution to a potential difficulty. He discussed the job at every step and we learned a lot. We’d have no hesitation in recommending him. Thank you Matt!

Matt came out yesterday to check my fuse box as I wanted it updated. He confirmed that it needed an isolation switch fitted before this work could be progressed and how to contact my provider. He also fitted additional sockets for me and fitted a new light. I was very impressed with his professionalism, tidiness and punctuality. I will be using Matt again.

Matt installed a new rewire of my garage electrics to include new plug sockets, LED lighting, and outside lighting. He did a great job, very pleased with the work - always on time and very helpful in describing the work needed. Would highly recommend!

Matt was recommended by a friend and I have been very happy with the work he has done for me. He is through and is happy to explain everything patiently and clearly. Matt has now down several jobs for me, from replacing a shower switch to a full electrical inspection. I have asked him to also install an outside socket and exterior lighting next month. Matt's professionalism and friendliness stood out to me, and I am very happy to recommend him for all your electrical work. He is thorough and knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile. I trust Matt completely and feel relieved that I have found an electrician who turns up when they say they will, and charges you exactly what he quotes.

I contacted Matthew a few days ago in regards to swapping over a faceplate for a single socket. Matthew was extremely helpful, quick to rearrange an appointment when I wasn't able to make the first one and arrived on time on the scheduled day. The job was done quickly and professionally, with Matthew going the extra mile to explain certain things and he even tightened a loose connection in the consumer unit which was found by chance when talking me through the mains electric supply. Would definitely recommend.
