DC Electrical Services

Due to Covid regulations I was unable to help my mother set up her television in Bristol. This was complicated by delivery services refusing to set up anything under a 40 inch screen size. I contacted Daryl at DC Electrical services who was able to set up and explain the television to my mothers satisfaction and kept me informed throughout the process. Resulting in two very satisfied customers.

This is the second time I've employed Darrell to do work for me, installing LED down lighters. The work was done quickly, efficiently and to a high standard. With the added bonus that they cleaned up after themselves and patched the hole where the original light fitting was. Additionally they even marked the floorboards in the room above so I know where not to slice if I need to pull them up in future. While he was here for the first job (which was done to the same high standard as the second) he was happy to lend me his tools to do other jobs while he didn't need them and provided me with honest advice on whether I would be able to do some other small electrical jobs myself (wiring cooker hood and such like). I would definitely recommend Darrell to anyone in the area who needs electrical work doing.

Darrell really knows his stuff and goes above and beyond to do a job well. He makes sure to discuss and agree work clearly in advance and offers expert advice to help you decide. I used him last year to install a new fuse box, replace lights and sockets, and fix a malfunctioning alarm system - which on investigation required much more work than envisaged. Darrell took it in his stride and fixed it without to-do. I was so impressed I did not hesitate to call on him again recently to do more jobs for me - one of which he fixed after an impressive bit of problem-solving detective work. Darrell cares about doing a job well. He is also polite and friendly and makes sure he leaves the place clean and tidy. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

We had a number of non-urgent tasks needing help with, from fitting new external lights and a weatherproof socket, to fixing an erratic doorbell and a light in a kitchen cabinet that had never worked. On quoting for the work, Darrell talked through the various issues and gave me confidence that he was a safe pair of hands. The quote came through quickly and I was kept informed about when he could get to us. Each job was completed neatly and effectively and he solved the kitchen cabinet light issue where other sparky's had failed. All done with a smile and enthusiasm too. A great job done, I'm delighted and I recommend DC Electrical highly.

Darrell fitted power and a strip light to my new garden shed. He gave me a quote for this work and some fault finding on lights to our outhouse. This was comparable to other quotes I had obtained. Darrell and his son arrived on time and carried out the work to a high standard. It looks and is a really good job and I am very pleased. Darrell is very pleasant and I will use his services again if I need an electrician. I will also recommend DC Electrical to friends and neighbours. Lyn who runs the office is very efficient and sent through a certificate for the work promptly.

When in the process of purchasing a property, electrical concerns were flagged in a Survey. I was extremely concerned and I contacted DC Electrical quoting the comments in the Survey report. Darrell first began with a phonecall, during the phonecall he was extremely thorough, asking several questions about the property. Darrell demonstrated exceptional knowledge and deteiled explanations during the phonecall. Whereas many electricians will do the work, Darrell took the time to give an understanding which in my situation was incredibly important. I made the decision to use DC Electrical for an EICR report. Darrell was a friendly, genuine guy. He did the job very well and was very considerate of the requirements for electrical use within the household. Whilst the EICR report is a document, Darrell also thoroughly explained everything verbally during after finishing the tests which provided a massive peace of mind. I honestly cannot recommend DC Electrical highly enough, very impressed.

I asked Darrell to quote for quite a number of electrical works after moving into a new house: changing light fittings, adding sockets, installing a security light, replacing the fuse box etc. His quote was reasonable and he did everything entirely satisfactorily. Also a very pleasant guy, and extremely conscientious. He wouldn’t give up on a socket that was in an extremely hard to access place, and when the security light needed re-adjusting after he’d finished, he was round the very next morning - a Saturday - to sort it. It did take quite a while for him to be able to schedule in my work, as he was very booked up, but that’s a sign of someone being really good at their job!

We had a large number of electrical jobs that needed doing after we moved house - additional sockets, new light fittings, a security light, closing off sockets, putting in a new fuse box, circuit testing etc etc. Darrell have us a fair quote and also had some very helpful ideas about what could be done. It was a while before he actually came as he was obviously very booked up, but it proved to be well worth the wait. All the jobs were done to our complete satisfaction and, when we contacted him one evening to say the security light needed further adjustment, he came to sort it out the very next morning. Darrell always replied to my emails promptly, and he is a really pleasant guy who clearly knows everything there is to know about electrics.
