Foreman Electrical

Excellent service .Exceptionally well priced and highly competent.We would not hesitate to use him again

Prompt reply to enquiry, very pleasant manner, gave helpful advice on how to get best out of electricty suppliers [ie totally disinteresed], cleared up at end of job

My 89 year old neighbour asked me for advice, after discovering the on/off switch to her immersion heater had stuck in the on position, and the switch box had felt warm. After a brief look myself, it was clear that professional attention was needed. Since neither of us had used an electrician for many years, I offered to find a local contractor, recommended on Which?Local. I spoke to Mr Foreman on my neighbour's behalf, explaining the problem and that she would like to upgrade to a timer switch. This was at about 4.00 p.m. in the afternoon. Mr Foreman said he would come round the following morning between 8.30 and 9.00 a.m. When I called on my neighbour at about 11.00 the next morning, the job had been done, very much to her satisfaction in both efficiency and cost. Mr Foreman subsequently took the trouble to call me back to confirm he had completed the job and had assured my neighbour that if she encountered any problems. e.g. with altering the settings of the time switch, she could contact him and he would call again. Altogether, excellent service.

Ian came round at short notice to replace a kitchen light fitting. He is clearly competant and knowledgeable, and a very pleasant man. I thoroughly recommend him.

My builder brought Ian Foreman in to rewire our original house and new extension. One of the things that stood out about Ian was that he would take the time to discuss all the different options available making sensible suggestions where appropriate and explaining why. His quality of work was very professional and done in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian.

Following a house rewire in 2005 there has been a recurring problem with the halogen lighting in the kitchen ceiling. The electrician who did the original work could not find the fault. I finally contacted Ian Foreman and we discussed possible causes and he made a number of useful suggestions. He came round and quickly diagnosed the problem - a loose connection in a junction box tucked away above the false ceiling. He fixed that, and reported on a couple of extra items he found there which related to electrical safety standards, and while he was there he also repaired another intermittent problem in the bathroom lighting. His invoice was very reasonable for the amount of time he spent finding and fixing the problems and the advice he gave. His manner was polite and friendly, and he appeared to be very knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to use Ian again and I can recommend him without reservation.

We found Ian through this site, he has fitted new light fittings, replaced an outside light, etc we would highly recommed him as he is very thorough, always pleasant & arrived when he said he would. To feel comfortable enough with a tradesman to leave them with access to your home is a sign of the type of person Ian is, plus you never know he has been other than your problem has been resolved.

Good honest advice. Installed two rcd switches efficiently and professionally. Highly recommended and will use again.

I concur with recommendations from other Which members that Ian Foreman was efficient in his work of tracing and disconnecting a wire from an old garage that had been taken down. He is a cheerful pleasant worker.

I needed to change the downlights in my dining room. Ian researched the market and found lights which would fit the existing recesses thus avoiding expensive altrations to the ceiling. He obtained the lights on approval to ensure that they would fit and would be suitable. He also separately returned and fitted covers for the lights which originally had been considered unsuitable because of the low height of the ceiling. I found him to be a most pleasant man to deal with and felt that nothing would be too much trouble for him to satisfy his customer.
