DC Electrical Services

Darrell has done 3-4 jobs for me now and I have always been impressed with the service. He's always quick to reply, happy to discuss details or suggest alternatives and very good at organising to make the work happen around other tasks. He's installed a 3-phase meter box for me that had to happen on the same day as Octopus Energy and the National Grid and it changed last minute, no problem for Darrell and he came in and sorted it anyway. Top lad, thanks for all your efforts!

Darrell and Jaiden installed several electrical sockets, fitted some outside lights and fixed our TV to the wall. Darrell was very responsive via Whatsapp, always letting us know what time he was coming and was never late. Both did some really excellent work, perfectly finished and were a pleasure to have in the house.

The work involved the removal of an old earth leakage circuit breaker at the mains and installing a new double pole rcd and enclosure This was followed by the removal of an old cooker and installation of a new cooker. Darrell kept us informed at all stages and the work was carried out in an efficient and professional manner and to cost quoted. I would thoroughly recommend Darrell and will certainly contact him for any future electrical work

Darrell installed new isolation switches in our kitchen. He was very good at explaining what we needed and why. And what we didn't need and why not. He gave us a quote in advance and that's what he charged. He managed to reschedule our job to get it done earlier, keeping us up to date by text. He worked efficiently and tidily and gave us exactly what we needed. I will definitely be calling him if I need any more electrical work carried out.

Darrell and Jaiden carried out a complete rewire of our house, including lighting and electrics in the loft and garage, as well as fixing our faulty house alarm system. Right from the start Darrell explained what needed to be done, and why, keeping us fully informed as the work progressed Both Darrell and Jaiden were meticulous, in every thing they did. They worked hard to cause as little disturbance to the house/decorations as possible and were very tidy, always cleaning up after themselves before leaving each day. Everything was done in line with current legislation, with Darrell going out of his way to ensure even the smallest legal requirement was met. In brief, a great job carried out to an extremely high standard by two very likeable, friendly but professional people. Would recommend, DC Electrical Services, without hesitation, and will definitely use again. Thank you Darrell and Jaiden

Darrell installed outside electrics to my shed. Involved laying 50m armoured cable through my garden. When job was completed you wouldn't know they'd been. Whole installation neat tidy, tested, labelled and compliant with all regs and certified. Great attention to detail of what I wanted, useful advice. Clean, tidy and easy couple of workers to have around the place.

Darrell and Jay ran electrical wiring from our house to our work shop at the bottom. He is very punctual and explained how he will run it. Both Darrell and Jay are such lovely, friendly people. This is second time we have used DC Electrical Services and we will certainly use them in the future for any further electrical work. They are so professional and left the area where they were working very tidy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DC Electrical Services to anyone. Thank you again Darrell and Jay. Fantastic job.

DC Electrical services were recommended to me as we were in the process of completely refurbishing a house and this required a full re-wire. I can totally understand why Darryl and Jaydon of DC Electrical Services were recommended to me. I too would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone requiring very high quality electrical work. Over some quite considerable period of time Darryl and Jaydon turned up always as planned and agreed to carry out first fix and then second fix electrical re-wiring throughout the house - 3 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, dining room and bathroom. Having agreed with Darryl what we required, he worked efficiently and very tidily through each room, with all work completed to both agreed schedule and budget. Darryl is very good at explaining what he is doing and why and helpful with his suggestions on matters I had not considered. I would without hesitation use DC Electrical Services for any future electrical work and 100% recommend him to anyone requiring electrical services.

We recently had Darrel and team complete a full rewire of a shop that we recently opened, the deadline was tight but DC electrical worked restlessly throughout to get the job done for us in time for opening day. We also had a full emergency lighting system installed and linked smoke alarms throughout the shop. The guys arrived when they said they would, completed the work to a high standard and kept the site clean and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble and we had some good laughs whilst working on the project with them. If you require any electrical work, and want a professional job done I would not hesitate to give DC electrical a call.

I had a problem with the fuse board tripping at random and as a result John Lewis were unable to install a new oven until the problem was fixed. Darrell spent 3 hours meticulously checking the wiring/circuits and performing tests before reluctantly concluding that the fuse board needed replacing. Darrell and Jaiden then spent a day replacing the board and were thoroughly professional and a delight to have around – polite and cheerful but focused on their work. Darrell kept me informed on what needed doing and why, explaining in layman terms so I had a good understanding of what was going on. The invoice was exactly as quoted and considering he spent all day doing the work and 3 hours on a previous day diagnosing the fault, I consider his prices to be extremely competitive. I now have a bang up to date, tidily installed fuse board and yes, JL successfully installed my new oven with no electrical faults. Final point, Darrell will always make a point of immediately returning calls. I thoroughly recommend him and will definitely use D C Electrics for any future work.

Darrell recently installed a 3 phase meter box for me. It was planned well in advance to make sure all the right people turned up on the day and Darrell made sure he was ready to go first thing in the morning. He worked right through the afternoon to line up with the National Grid people installing the main cabling and it all went to plan. Good quality work and Darrell made sure I understood what needed to happen right the way through, thanks mate

Downstairs ring main went dead. I called and had a chat with Darrell who went through things to see if there was anything I could do to rectify the fault on my own. I tried what he suggested and it confirmed there was a problem beyond me to fix. He turned up today as promised and fixed the problem with 20-30 minutes. Super polite and clear about the problem and the fix. Fair price for the call out and the job. I will definitely use DC again if needed.

Darrell not only installed my Ring Doorbell seamlessly, but he also ensured it was connected to the app and was working effectively. Darrell was a pleasure to have at my home. He was efficient both with the quote and installation, was polite and personable. Everything was left clean and tidy after the installation.

Darrell is very knowledgeable and was able to quickly resolve our electric shower issue. We would recommend him.

We have had work done by Darrell previously and have been very impressed with both the excellent work and the care and consideration given to us and our home. My partner needed to have an electricity supply to his workshop in the garden, so Darrell was the obvious choice. He quoted for two possible options and discussed exactly what electrical items would be used. He then advised us that the least expensive option would be absolutely fine, he didn’t try to persuade us to spend more than was necessary. We found Darrell and his apprentice Jaiden a pleasure to have working at our house. They are pleasant and friendly, they work to a very high standard and clean up afterwards. Phone calls, emails and texts have always been answered promptly by Lyn. Highly recommended.

Absolute first-class service from beginning to end. Had new extractor fan, fitted oven hob and cooker hood, electric towel rail. All work was completed to a very high standard and finished within quoted time. We have used DC Electrics before and can't rate them highly enough.

Darrell came and fitted 2 Ring alarms, Darrell did a fantastic job, he set up the zones and made sure the lights were lighting up the right areas. He showed us how to use it and made sure we were comfortable with using it. Darrell and his apprentice Layton were lovely, I felt extremely comfortable with them both and they were very friendly. I would definitely use them again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

I rang Darrell last summer to request an electrical survey and report prior to exchanging contracts on our new home. He thoroughly explained everything in the report in language I could understand and wasn’t at all “pushy”. I decided to contact DC Electrical Services after reading the excellent reviews on Which Trusted Traders and would like to endorse all the positive comments made. Due to Covid-19, all communication until now has been via phone and email, with emails having been answered promptly. Darrell and his apprentice Jayden have now completed the necessary works. They clearly take pride in their work. They were a pleasure to have in the house - professional, friendly, neat and tidy and even cleaned up any resulting dust! I heartily recommend DC Electrical Services and wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Darrell fixed our intruder alarm. He was efficient and thorough, explaining things clearly. Very professional job.

We wanted lighting updated in hall/landing/porch, Darrell was able to advise positioning and number of lights in each area then provide a quote. Darrell and his apprentice carried out the work to a high standard arrived to start the work at the agreed time and the work was completed within the day left the hall, stairs and landing clean and tidy!

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.

I used Daryl to hang and connect a new light fitting last year. I was very happy with his work and have used him for electrical advice on several occasions since. Daryl is incredibly helpful and will go out of his way to explain things in full detail. His customer service and workmanship is excellent and I will definitely use him again. Thank you

Darrell and Bradley fitted a new consumer unit and some exterior lights. They were efficient, reliable and polite. Darrell went to great lengths to explain every aspect of the work. Inevitably there were teething problems with the new unit but they spared no effort in thoroughly checking and resolving all the issues. They were very helpful in advising and obtaining the exterior lights and other parts. I can recommend them without hesitation.

Darrell has done work for me before. He’s professional and really knows his trade. He offers helpful advice and keeps you informed. On this occasion Darrell and Bradley fitted new electrical sockets. They arrived promptly and worked effectively and tidily to complete the job. I’m really pleased with the quality of the workmanship and the fair price charged. I’ve no hesitation in recommending DC Electrical.

Darrell and Bradley changed the fuse box in my property and connected an electric hob. The job was completed in the timescale given and within the quote price agreed. Throughout the work carried out they cleaned up as they went and kept disruption to a minimum. Darrell answered any questions I asked regarding future works and advised on options available to me regarding lighting in my home.

Darrel wired in and tested a shower and carried out an electrical safety inspection of a workshop. From the outset his professional approach and in depth knowledge became apparent and instilled great confidence in his ability. Not only was the work carried out to a very high standard, but through his knowledge and integrity he actually went to the trouble of explaining that the level of work I requested was not necessary and saved me considerable expense. I can't recommend DC Electrical strongly enough.

Darrell and his team have just carried out two jobs for us, a full house rewire and an inspection followed by the necessary repairs and corrections for compliance on another house. He has done a great job for us and would fully recommend him.

Darrell responded to my enquiry quickly and was prompt in coming to look at the jobs I needed doing and to give me a price. He couldn’t do the job for a few weeks due to pressure of work, but was brilliant at keeping me informed about his progress and when he would be able to come to me. His friendly helpful manner instilled trust and the work he carried out was done efficiently, cleanly and tidily. Darrell was also happy to provide helpful advice. I’m really pleased with the work done and would recommend him highly.

Darrell came to look at what needed to be done and gave me a quote for all the work and labour. He came the day he said he would, I needed a spur for an alarm and two security lights, one replacement and a new one. He worked hard all day and made sure that each light worked as I wanted. I thought that the price was very reasonable considering the time it took and the effort he put into getting it just right. I will definitely use him again next time I need an electrician.

What a lucky find. Very knowledgeable on all aspects of his trade. Darrell is both helpful and flexible in his approach to whatever project, large or small. He is very honest and completed all work to the proper regulation standards unlike my previous electrician. I can’t thank him enough for all the work he has done in our utility room. I have already passed on his details and would advise anyone looking for an electrician to talk to Darrell first. 5 stars all round!

Darrell provided very good service when installing lights and sockets in our kitchen, along with a new fusebox. He was prompt and very clean and tidy throughout his time with us. He was very pleasant to have around, helpful and flexible when we wanted to make a few changes. I would wholeheartedly recommend him.

Darrell did a superb job fitting new sockets and lights in my workshop. He was very friendly and professional and explained everything step by step. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Excellent service, lovely chap.

Darrell has just finished moving an electric radiator and creating a new socket for me and I am incredibly happy with the excellent service provided. The finish on the work is immaculate, Darrell kept the house nice and tidy and the quote was very reasonable. Would highly recommend DC Electrical Services and will definitely be using again in the future.

My house alarm stopped working early one Saturday morning and I was unable to identify the problem. I called Darrell, who unfortunately due to other work was unable to come out straight away. He spent some time however talking me through the possible problems and giving clear instructions as to how I could stop the power warning bleeping from sounding continuously. When Darrell did come out the problem was resolved quickly. Darrell also gave me instructions about what to do if the same problem arose in the future. In the future should I need an electrician Darrell will be the first one I call.

From initial survey to completion of domestic works, billing and certification, Darrell was an excellent, reliable professional tradesman, who communicated well throughout the installation and was adaptable and accommodating of changes to specification. Darrell arrived promptly, worked fastidiously, clearing all areas carefully. He was always pleasant and respectful. The quotation for works was competitive and honoured.

Darrell was subcontracted to finish a job started by a heating company from Cornwall. The boiler needed a power supply as it was positioned somewhere without any. Darrell surveyed the job, turned up exactly when he said he would, completed the job neatly, in good time and left the area exceptionally tidy and clear. Will definitely use Darrell again and recommend him to anyone.

I have used D C Electrical on many occasions for more than 10 years. I have always found Darryl to be completely reliable, very efficient and highly skilled. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for a first class job.

I have had many occasions to call Darrell out in a professional capacity. He always responds promptly and with a smile. His work is always very satisfactory and I would not hesitate to recommend him for any job - large or small.

Darrell and his partner were good clean and reliable workers, can certainly recommend them

We would recommend Darrell to anyone. He has done various jobs for us over the last eight years, always reliable, tidy, very professional & reasonably priced

Darrell was a pleasure to deal with. He powered down our alarm system very efficiently and explained what we would need to do to put it back into action. His fee was very reasonable and, yes, he was punctual to the minute!

I can highly recommend DC Electrical as an honest, professional, good value trusted trader. I first employed them some years ago on a complete domestic re-wire, and have since had them back for several newer jobs including: Fitting garage electrics, cellar electrics, outside lighting and alarm system. The workmanship is excellent, and the final touches and quality is first class. Pricing is also very competitive. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
