Foreman Electrical

I booked Ian based on reading a recommendation from Which, and I am highly delighted I did. I needed an electrician to switch off some electrics whilst I was in the middle of decorating. He arrived the next day, brought with him the items I needed to purchase and even offered to teach me how to change a light fitting for the future. He was friendly, efficient and thorough. I couldn’t fault his service and he was excellent value for money. Do not hesitate to use. Highly recommended.

Ian arrived on time and provided a clear estimate. He came to carry out the work, again on time, which in my experience doesn't always happen. He finished the work to a high standard and also gave some very useful advice on energy use. Ian cleared up afterwards and took away all the packaging and rubbish. He was pleasant and polite and the bill matched the estimate. I was very pleased with the result and I shall certainly call on him again when the need arises. After using some very poor electricians in the past I am relieved to have found Ian.

We contacted Ian following a recommendation by a previous customer. Ian replaced our fuse board to provide RCBOs and a surge protection device and also replaced metal light switches and fittings with plastic ones throughout the house. he was very thorough and professional and pleasant to deal with. He explained what he was doing and kept us informed throughout. The work was done to schedule and to budget. I would use Ian again for any electrical work.

I first contacted Ian to ask for a quote on a few jobs around the house (repairing sockets, adding new sockets, rewiring lights, removing an electric heater) - he was extremely helpful, giving me lots of honest advice which meant that he actually talked me out of doing several jobs (and therefore himself out of some of the work!) since it made more sense to do these at the same time as we would plan to redecorate. He then came round soon after to carry out the work, and throughout he was both efficient and very helpful with advice on other issues. When he uncovered some particularly unusual wiring issues, he also did a brilliant job of working out what was causing problems each time and solving this, explaining as he went, and making everything safe and to high quality standards. All the time he was very friendly and personable, and I will certainly be in touch with him next time I need any electrical work done. On top of all of that, he was very reasonably priced and was always keen to work out the most cost-efficient way that he could cover all of the work I wanted done. I have already been recommending him to friends nearby, and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in the Ruislip area!

Ian has carried out multiple jobs for us, including first and second fix electrics, replacing sockets and fitting lights. He liaised with our plasterer and kept us updated on timescales for completing the work. The work was carried out at a very high standard at a reasonable price and we would definitely use Ian again!

I first used Foreman Electrical in 2010 for a consumer unit replacement and was happy to go to them again for a rewire of another property this year. Ian is friendly and helpful and always available to answer queries. He took the time to explain the work that would be done and provided useful advice and recommendations. The work was completed within the expected schedule and estimate other than some additions that were agreed during the work. I would recommend Foreman Electrical as a reliable and honest business.

Ian was excellent, courteous and the price was very reasonable. He sorted squirrel damage to wires in the loft, diagnosed and fixed issues with two lights and replaced a bathroom fan. I would definitely use him again.

Ian came to so an EICR and was a likeable, efficient and very competent electrician, who I would definitely recommend. He noticed several other things that needed doing, communicated well about them and went out of his way to make sure everything was in order.

We have worked with Ian for over ten years now and he is our family electrician. We would not go elsewhere. We get professional advice, we can discuss options and we have complete confidence that the job will be done to the best standards. The price will be reasonable and pricing will be transparent. We could not ask for more.

Ian was very helpful and communicated well from first point of contact through to completion of the job. Our switch was changed to a good quality and he also provided us with extra important information about the bulbs we can use and what’s involved if we were to potentially move ahead with a rewire. Will definitely be calling Ian again for any electrical work we need doing in the future.
