Foreman Electrical

We found Ian through Which Trusted Traders. Ian installed new LED lights in our kitchen and bathroom and replaced out of date smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. This was the second piece of work Ian completed for us having installed a new fuse box earlier this year. Ian is professional, very knowledgeable, clean and tidy and competitively priced. We would not hesitate to recommend Ian to local friends.

Ian has been our go-to electrician for over 20 years now and works for us and our daughter in London. We appreciate his clear and precise evaluation of what we want to be done and frequently suggests lower cost alternatives with better outcomes. We have a great deal on confidence in Ian and would unhesitatingly recommend him to anyone wanting domestic electrical work carried out. His pricing is very reasonable and transparent such that we never ask for an estimate beforehand and have never had any reason to regret that.

Ian was very thorough, professional and friendly. He met with me several times before beginning work to make sure I understood the process and that we were on the same page with what was had to be done. He rewired my ground floor flat, working around my existing furniture and clutter as it was not possible to clear everything from the flat and moving things and returning them as he progressed, He even made friends with my cat! Ian regularly WhatsApped me with questions, progress reports and photos while I was at work so I knew what to expect when I came home each day. Ian also added sensor operated lights in the shared hallway as an additional job. I would not hesitate to recommend or use him again.

We first asked Ian to do some electrical work in our house about 12 years ago. We found him very capable and helpful as well as a pleasant and cheerful presence in the house. We also found his charges to be reasonable. On the basis of that initial experience, whenever we have subsequently wanted electrical work at our house, we have always gone to Ian and have been very satisfied with that arrangement.

I found Ian on Which Trusted traders and contacted him regarding replacement of two internal lights. Ian was very professional and pleasant to work with, he did an excellent job at replacing the lights at a reasonable cost. I would not hesitate to use him again and recommend to others.yb

Ian was recommended via a work colleague for completing work to a high standard and charging competitive rates. We had a socket in a bedroom that was not in use. Ian came round to investigate and gave a clear breakdown of the work that needed to be completed and the costs involved. Whilst completing the job, Ian spotted another issue with our electrical board and after checking with us, he completed that work too. Ian is professional and friendly, and I would not hesitate to recommend or use him again.

I asked Ian to change 2 old fluorescent tube fittings in the kitchen and loft. This was done quickly and efficiently. He is friendly, polite and was helpful with my other queries, I would have no hesitation using him again.

I presented Ian with a tricky problem. An intermittent fault that was tripping a fuse. A previous electrician had failed to find the cause but Ian eventually tracked it down to some wires in a conduit. He then came up with an innovative solution that avoided any damage to the walls. Everything was done quickly and cleanly and at a sensible price.

I saw Ian's details on the Which website and since he was local, decided to call to see if he could quote for some new lights in my bathroom. The previous ones were not high quality and water damaged. He came around within a few days, convenient to us both and gave me a reasonable quote to provide and replace new lights and bulbs. We agreed a time to undertake the job and Ian arrived promptly as agreed. All work carried out and he also made safe some of the wiring which unfortunately had not been done to the required standard by the builders who had previously replaced my bathroom. All finished in good time.

Living 'overseas' as they like to say, and renting out my house in Hertfordshire long term, it is no easy task finding good tradespeople. In 2017 I found Ian Foreman on Which Local and gave him the job of replacing the smoke and fire alarms. Since then Ian has replaced the kitchen downlights with LED, done two EICR certifications, replaced the fuseboard to the latest safety standard, installed other odds and ends as required over the years and even fixed the door handle on a kitchen cupboard. Ian quickly established himself as my number one trusted go-to guy (another horrible modern expression but there you are, that's progress). My tenant loves him; anything she needs, he jumps on it immediately, once even on Christmas Eve! He is a great guy, a top quality professional and I just hope he enjoys doing jobs for me as much as I enjoy having him at the end of a telephone. As to the boring stuff: his work is top quality (also confirmed by my tenant and my letting agent, in case you're wondering) and his prices very fair; he is efficient, clean and tidy, prompt, a top communicator, etc. etc., you know the spiel. Bottom line: I can't recommend Ian highly enough. Long may he blow your fuses...
