Foreman Electrical

I contacted Ian via a text message to get a quote for an EICR for the ground floor of my property. He responded very quickly and soon after we had a call to discuss the job. During that call he asked me quite a few questions and provided me with a quote, which was competitive. I accept the quote and we agreed on a date. Ian carried out the EICR and kept me informed throughout the process. As the main supply had to be interrupted many times he warned me in advance and on the day so I was able to still work from home with no interruptions to my work. Ian is professional, very friendly and easy to talk to. He is reliable, trustworthy, experienced and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone

Closely listened to customer needs and offered creative solutions. Ian kept to the price quoted and timescale. Would definitely use him again.

This is the second job i have had done from Ian. Both times he was quick to arrive, knowledgeable and completed the job thoroughly and safely.

I reached out to Ian looking for a quote on EICR certification and some remedial work on a socket. He responded the same day and after providing him with additional info he was able to provide a quote price. This level of prompt & knowledgeable communication was maintained throughout, from arranging a convenient time for the work to be done and advising on found faults and the different sorts of alarms now required by law to then providing the EICR certificate and the invoice. Ian will be the first I call should I require a trusted and professional electrician again!

I bought a 3-bed house with 2 reception rooms. The house required a complete overhaul, including the redesign and overhaul of its electrics. I invited quotes from several of Which? Trusted Traders and what decided me on Foreman Electrical was the precision and transparency of Ian’s quote and obvious technical expertise. Other quotes were imprecise and cursory, whereas Ian invested a lot of time to understand the requirements of the project. As a matter of fact, he precipitated the forethought and pre-design of the living solution to my new home, and that ultimately paid dividends. The work Ian undertook included a complete rewiring of the house, installation of a new fuse board, and installation of lighting and electrical points throughout the house, as well as fire alarms. Ian is technically brilliant, and professionally reliable. I had to make changes to the plans and Ian was accommodating. Ian’s quote was precise and fully transparent, and his delivery was to plan and to deadline. Furthermore, Ian provided further assurance by arranging certification for all the works done. Foreman Electrical is my electrician of choice and I thoroughly recommend to all. When my sister needed a trustworthy honest electrician, I did not hesitate to recommend Ian. Having lived in the house for over a year and half, I can sincerely say that I love my electrics! I really enjoy the functionality and practicality of the design solutions we devised together.

I have used Ian before for a previous job as he was recommended by a colleague of mine. The first job he did was carried out promptly and he fitted a new ring doorbell, as well as recommending light switches for our garage, which were previously in an awkward position, not close to our entrance. He discussed options on his first visit and then returned to complete the job with the products we had chosen, under his advice. We asked him to come back and rectify 2 double light switches in our living room which were temperamental. Ian provided a reasonable quote and came to carry out the work within the timeframe he had promised. He also fitted a new light switch which was broken in a downstairs w/c. His prices were competitive, and in addition, being in the local area he was able to come to do the job quickly. Ian also provided us with good advice regarding smoke alarms and recommended some on request, sending us links to aid our decision. He was really friendly and professional, cleaning up, leaving the area tidy. I would highly recommend him for electrical works and will use his services again in the future.

I found Ian on the Which Trusted Traders website and sent him an email on the morning of 25th. October 2023. I had a phone call back from him later in the same morning and, as he was just finishing a job in my area, he asked if it was convenient to 'pop in' in about 10 minutes - which it was. I needed an old ceiling light fitting removed from a bedroom and replaced by one I had already bought AND he also put up a ceiling light in my study to replace the old fashioned 'cord' and bulb which had been hanging there for years! He told me what the cost would be in advance as he was able to do the work there and then if it was convenient to me, which it was. The whole thing took less than an hour and I was charged a very reasonable price. Ian was pleasant and very helpful and I will certainly not hesitate to use him again.

I asked Ian to come and provide a quote for replacing some ceiling lighting at my flat, which I have just moved into. He gave helpful advice and suggestions for each job I was considering doing and shared his rates and possible costs. He swiftly followed up with a quote and we agreed a day for him to replace four ageing light fittings. On the day the work was done within the expected timeframe and quoted amount, all mess tidied up and a good job done. He's helpful and enthusiastic about his job and is happy to suggest solutions. Really pleased with the experience.

Ian changed 7 socket face plates for me. He came to quote for the job and then confirmed the day he would be able to complete it. He gave me notice before he arrived and completed the work. We also had a nice chat! Would definitely recommend.

I purchased some lights from a reputable major high street retailer who offered to fit them for me. When they came to do the work it was clear that it was beyond their capability and they left having removed the old lights without being able to connect the new ones. I called Ian out to fix the problem. Without any fuss he installed the new lights quickly and efficiently. What the retailers electrician had said was a difficult job turned out to be pretty routine for Ian. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone on the lookout for a good electrician.
