I hesitate to write this review. If I recommend Darren too highly, you’ll all want to use him and I might have to join a long queue for his outstanding service, knowledge and skills. But I guess I’ll just have to join the queues but Darren is definitely worth it. Hire him, he is worth it.

Darren has been added to my 'A' list of reliable technicians. He is a true professional and will be my first port of call for future electrical jobs. His work included the replacement of light fittings – two of which required fiddly repairs to old wall sockets; plus, the patient dismantling and repair of a seventh pendant light. Darren is neat and tidy in his work, completing to a very high standard. His prices are competitive.

Darren fitted a transfer box and earth spike to allow the use of a generator to power the house in the event of a power cut . Before the work was carried out Darren took time to carefully and clearly explain what was required and what problems may occur . Due to the required location the of the transfer box in the kitchen it made it an awkward installation but Darren did a very neat job . All aspects of the work carried out were done with great care and attention to detail . Darren arrived on time equipped with a high degree of knowledge and experience. He came with all the specialist tools and parts to complete the work . The price for the work was very reasonable. Apart from being an excellent electrician Darren is a really nice bloke and I would use him again without hesitation. Highly Recommended

We were very pleased with the work recently completed, everything was very neat and tidy and Darren checked various point to ensure that we were happy with his proposal. Darren is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and very tidy. The work was completed as agreed, on time and the cost was reasonable. We have some additional work scheduled for later in the year and will work with Darren again and strongly recommend him.

Great experience and the job was completed within a couple of days of making an enquiry - would hope to hire Darren for similar work in future.

I contacted Darren at Elec-Hicks for some advice in relation to a range of jobs required from adding additional outside sockets, linking of multiple plug in lights in loft and garage to existing light switches adding additional light switches where needed, replacement of damaged outside sockets and suggestion a good quality sensor light on porch. After receiving some helpful calls/email advice Darren agreed to visit and review what was required and arrived on time and was very knowledgeable and suggested options whilst fully explaining in easy to understand terminology. His politeness and professionalism put us to ease and he followed up by providing us a reasonable quote breaking down the costs for each task. Darren agreed to undertake the work shortly after and again arrived on time and undertook the tasks and was a pleasure to have in our home. I was genuinely impressed with his attention to detail and all of his work was undertaken with a smile and to a high standard. Darren could not have been more helpful and nothing was to much, not only did we receive a great work, finished to a high standard with quality materials used throughout but we also learned a lot. I could not recommend Darren highly enough and have already asked him to undertake further work including an installation of a floodlight and a inspection report. We are so pleased to have found a local, reliable and professional electrician who takes such pride and care in his work. Thank You

We lost power to all the sockets in our sitting room, conservatory and a bedroom on 20th December 2019. We didn’t hold out much hope of finding an electrician who could come out that close to Christmas but ‘Elec-Hicks’ came up trumps. Darren arrived on 23rd as promised, found the cause of the problem and quickly fixed it with no fuss or mess. We are confident in recommending this excellent professional to others.

Called Elec-Hicks to investigate our electrics which kept tripping. Darren came out next day and found source of the problem and corrected. Very polite, efficient and reasonable. Have already booked in for him to do another job for us, would highly reccomend.

It's often hard to find a tradesmen who will fit in a small job quickly. Darren was really communicative and had somebody round within a couple of days to do our small job of changing some light fittings. Casey got the job done quickly with zero fuss. Both guys really friendly, and the job was well priced.
