Foreman Electrical

Ian has restored my faith in electricians! My power has been tripping out over the past two years on and off and after 3 electricians were unable to diagnose the fault I had given up hope. Ian was able to come out to me on a Sunday (which saved my sanity as power was tripping out every 40 minutes on the saturday!) and was here for less than an hour. He found the fault, it seemed too easy so he checked to make sure it wasn't anything else. He only charged me a very modest amount and even text me the next day and a week later just to check it was all ok. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him (and he doesn't drink tea ;-) )

Having found Ian on Which? Local, I can only reiterate what others have said. I have found him to be very professional - competently talking through options and their pros and cons. He is always happy to explain the ïtechnical bitsÍ (and then re-explain, for those of us that have no electrical knowledge!). He has done several jobs for me, including: diagnosing a fault with and replacing a bathroom light fitting, tidying up/replacing unsafe electrics in the garden and fitting a recessed porch light and sensor. He has always been polite, reliable and tidy in his work and endeavours to book in and carry out work with minimal delay. I would certainly use him again.

My kitchen lights were complicated - dimmers with 2 way switching, combined with low voltage halogen downlighters for worktops. The dimmers and their switches broke, and I could not understand the forrest of wires in the control box Ian sorted the circuits out and installed new dimmers that I had bought but could not understand. A very quick job.

Found contact details and helpful reviews on Which Local. I can only add to all the other positive reviews: having called on a Friday afternoon, Ian attended on Saturday morning and gave very helpful, honest advice. Excellent service and I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Ian comes highly recommended not just by his customers but by other tradesman. His work speaks volumes. Ian came to resolve an electrical fault in our kitchen in July 2011. He isolated the fault and made it safe for us to use the kitchen appliances. He also resolved a light problem I had in the bathroom. I was so impressed with his prompt action and advice that I called him for more work to be carried out in the bathroom on 24/8/2011. He replaced a rather noisy extractor fan from the bathroom. The fan purrs quietly and also does what it needs to do extract the steam from the bathroom. His work is very good and would recommend him to family and friends.

We called in Ian to carry out an Electrical Condition Report on a flat we let. As a result he installed a 17th Edition Distribution Board and carried out other work to ensure we complied with current regulations. We had a tight schedule and he was able to fit in the work at short notice. He provided us with very helpful explanations and carried out the work neatly, quickly and with minimal disruption. We have no hesitation in recommednding his work and will be using him again in the future.

Ian undertook the following work for us - installed earthing to gas and water supplies; fitted new fuse box; replaced four wall lights and two centre lights with new fittings; replaced external security light; replaced wiring for porch light and replaced loft light fitting. He was extremely pleasant and friendly and explained what he was doing where necessary. He was open to any questions we put to him and invited us to ring him if we found any problems. He gave us a detailed estimate before we engaged him and the final bill was as estimated. We consided his prices were very reasonable. We were very satisfied with Ian's work and would have no hesitation in recommending him for any electrical work.

Have used Ian before, so were happy to call on him again for some electrical work. Again, very happy with the result and would use again.
