Foreman Electrical

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.

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.

Ian came quickly in response to my phone call. He repaired a faulty ceiling light, replaced a non-functioning switch in my kitchen, and re-connected two obsolete power points which had been disconnected during previous re-wiring of my house. He tidied up and left everything shipshape before leaving. The only break he took was a short spell for lunch. An extremely pleasant and helpful professional.

Hall light not working and Electrician, recommended by friend, visited, mystified as to fault, and failed to return. Contacted Ian Foreman who immediately traced fault to junction box and returned the following day to fix it. Reasonable cost, pleasant, arrived on time phoning a few minutes beforehand and very professional.

Found Ian from Which Local and was very impressed by his honesty, quality work at a very reasonable price. Helped replace all light fittings and clean up some wires - was very efficient and would highly recommend.

Ian Foreman installed a new Consumer Unit and earthed the gas supply. Additionally, he rectified a small number of historical wiring issues. Proficient, professional and courteous.

Ian came round promptly to fit a new light fitting and also solved another lighting problem by tracing its connections. He worked efficiently and cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely use him again.

Would thoroughly recommend Ian. Chose him based upon Which Local comments. Ian identified that we were missing earthing to the main fuse board and that the fuse board had no RCD switches. He replaced the fuse board and also lifted floor boards to conceal additional wiring. Having identified some other issues in the house concerning earthing he then got replacement fittings in a style we would have chosen ourselves. He is very knowledgeable, professional, clean and tidy. The price was reasonable considering the amount of work and time involved. He explains what he has done and why he has done it so that you can be reassured that the job has been well done. Ian also followed up later with an email to ensure things were still ok. Would have no hesitation using him again.

I was desperately looking for a qualified electrician who could do bonding of gas and electricity. Two electricians who were supposed to be registered Gas Safe were not able to understand what the Gas Supplier meant by "Bonding of Gas & Electricity. I chose Ian Foreman from Which Local. When Ian came and I gave him the Gas Supplier's paper he understood instantly and even explained to me in layman language what it meant. After inspecting the work to be done, Ian set a date. He arrive on time and carried out the work professionally and on completing the work, he left the place clean and tidy. Ian also went out of his way to find me an Electrical supplier for my built in oven and extractor fan. Ian is efficient, friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends. Ian is also a good time keeper (always on time. Excellent young man.

Ian was very busy when I contacted him through Which? Local but he went out of his way to fit us in before our major bathroom refurbishment, to intall a split-load distribution board. Also installed a light fitting and more sockets in our garage plus outside socket. A thorough professional, very helpful, explained everything. Highly recommended.
