Cowley performed a site survey recommending important improvements. They quoted for and were awarded the works. They were very good at planning on the work schedule and flexible with payment terms before and after. Their engineer was punctual, polite and professional throughout 4 days on site. They added value above the scope of work too when they were able to respond to existing and new situations on site as they occurred. Most importantly they didn’t have to wait for things to go wrong or respond to quality snags or complaints because they were so competent in electrical work and had a planning/preventative risk mindset. This made the whole experience in our home safe and with hardly any disruption which was excellent. Cowley have an enterprising business approach and you can tell are customer focused, seek to set high standards and also seek to continually improve.

We’ve used Neil Crowley several times during 2023 and always been delighted with the outcome. On the latest occasion Neil himself did the work replacing an extractor fan in the bathroom with the minimum amount of fuss. Whatever the work involved they are always prompt and very tidy - no dirty footprints or excessive clearing up after. They seem competitively priced and I always recommend to my friends and family.

Emergency call out
With flood water an inch from the front door and no electricity supply, my daughter and young grandchildren arriving in a few hours, I was delighted to see Cowley Electrics who isolated the electricity fault and re-connected our supply. We were able to use our pump and had a warm house for our guests. Prompt, personable service on a day when flooding was causing havoc everywhere.

The task included a one day inspection followed by a further four days of work. Liam the electrician was prompt, informative, thorough and efficient. Each day he cleaned and tidied up putting any furniture that he had moved, back in place, before he left. Although Liam had to work in every room he was not intrusive. He was easy to talk to, polite, understanding and kind. Liam is a highly professional electrician who works to a very high standard. I would not hesitate to contact Cowley Electrical Contractors again if needed and I would certainly recommend them to others. Glenys Carrick (aged 85) near Cirencester Gloucestershire.

We have used Cowley Electrical for years as we like to use local trades. This time we had an external double electrical socket installed. They are rather ugly things so I didn’t want it installed in a place where I would constantly view it from the patio, Liam looked at the options we had, he made sure I was happy before he started and did a very efficient and tidy job. Neatly tucked in a corner. Really friendly, punctual and tidy. We had a text with an ETA which was bang on time. Would highly recommend

Really pleased with the Cowleys engineer. He carried out the original inspection and returned over 4 days to complete the remedial work. He was polite, friendly, unobtrusive and helpful. He always took time to listen to our thoughts and to explain things clearly. He was even able to fix a minor issue relating to the hot water tank.

The work included the provision of additional sockets throughout the house, the rectification of faults in light switches and wall lights, the installation of ceiling spots in the kitchen and as a feature in the lounge and a shaver point in the bathroom. Estimates for the work were received promptly and a date set in good time. The worker was thorough and very attentive to our requirements and the need to work in a way such as not to cause inconvenience. He was efficient, polite and careful but worked professionally and with commitment. He was also very careful to tidy the minimal dust or debris created by his work. The invoiced payment was exactly as predicted by the company. We would thoroughly recommend Cowley Electrical as our customer experience was commendable.E

Outside lighting in the garden

We have previously used Cowley Electrical to install power and lighting to our summerhouse, and were very pleased with the work done . Over a number of years we have used solar lighting in the garden to highlight a number of features e.g arches and pergola, but in the main have been disappointed with the result. We decided this year to run more underground cables to the features we needed illuminating, and on the advice of Neil Cowley install low voltage LED lights. The lights were installed by Liam, who was very polite and kept us informed throughout the day as to how the job was progressing. In order to finish the work in one day Liam worked on until about 19.00, and did a very professional job, being extremely neat and tidy. We are very pleased with the end result.

Around Easter 2021 our house outside lights packed up and as soon as Lockdown permitted we decided to have them updated. We asked local electrical contractor Cowley, who advertise locally, to visit and give a quote. Proprietor Neil Cowley visited a few days later and made a thorough inspection of the site and work involved. This comprised: making safe and removing existing system and replacing with completely new system of lights at various points around the outside of the house - some controlled by PIR, others by wireless switching. Also replacing sealed lights in bathroom ceiling. Estimate received on-line that day was very competitive and promised a quick start and finish. Queries were promptly responded to and estimate agreed in a few days. A technician (Liam McGlen) arrived in a few days and started work immediately, after checking exactly what was required at every stage. Work completed in two days. We were very impressed with the efficiency of Mr Cowley’s organisation and also of Mr McGlen, who was invariably polite and considerate, and made sure at every stage that he was doing what we wanted him to. On 27 May, invoice arrived along with electrical certification. It has been a pleasure working with Cowley Electrical and we will not hesitate to ask them for help should we need electrical work in future.

The lighting circuit in our stables failed. The circuit covers two loose boxes, a shed and tool shed. Neil Cowley had to work his way round the circuit to identify the fault. He was most thorough and efficient. Having found the problem, he repaired the errant light allowing the stables to be lit again. I have the utmost confidence that he is a very proficient tradesman. Additionally he obeys all the Covid rules. He merits five stars - I would happily use him again and recommend him to other users.

We had a problem with the light switch in our bedroom not working. I called Cowley Electrical to ask them to rectify this problem. Michael advised me of the price and sent me a quotation. I accepted this and we booked a date for the work to be done. The appointment was fixed for 8.00 am and Liam, the electrician arrived within a few minutes of this time. He was very polite and fitted a new switch very quickly. I was completely satisfied with the work. He also advised me on another electrical problem. Thanks to Cowley Electrical for their good work.

I have struggled to find reliable trustworthy electricians in the past, so I decided to try Cowley who were advertising in our local village magazine. Initial contact with them was both easy and very efficient. They visited us within a couple of days to provide a competitive quotation for the work (replacement of an external switch, and provision of extra external sockets), and, after accepting the quote, we agreed a date for the work. Just prior to the date, they sent an email as a reminder and confirmation of the work. Neil arrived promptly on the agreed date, and the work was completed quickly, efficiently, and tidily. I would certainly use Cowley again and highly recommend them.
