Foreman Electrical

Ian Foreman is utterly professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. He provides a high-quality, dependable service at a reasonable price. Ian gives great advice and doesn't cut corners, so you know you're in good hands. I highly recommend Foreman Electrical.

Ian moved a couple of electrical points in the house for us. We have recently had a kitchen fitted and he pointed out a number of mistakes made by the electrician which we will be taking up with the fitters. Ian is very knowledgeable, knows his job and is a very pleasant person to do business with.

Having been let down by my original electrician after the 1st fix on a renovation project, and then after reading Ian's reviews, I decided to give him a call. He looked over the job and was extremely pleasant and not pushy at all, he took time to explain everything and even had a contract with cooling off period after verbal agreement to proceed with works. Due to him not being able to see all the original electrical works or how correctly it had been done, Ian worked on a day rate. As I'd never worked with him before obviously I was initially slightly cautious but this was alleviated the first day he turned up on time and worked extremely hard throughout the day, barely stopping at all for a break. He worked at a very good speed whilst being conscientious and neat. Nothing was too much trouble and he was extremely knowledgeable (even pointing out important things other trades had missed with their work). He turned up when he said he would and did a great job, I'm a perfectionist and he did not disappoint! Not only did he provide certification of the work on the day he completed it, I was even able to pay by card on completion to save going to the bank - another small sign at how professional he is. Ian was left in the property multiple occasions with various expensive tools and was completely trustworthy, and to top it all off he's a good guy to be around and really helped me out of a tight spot. You get what you pay for, if you want a job done right, please give him a try

Ian tracked down and fixed a problem after power problems at my father's house following a water leak. V reassuring, good advice and quickly resolved, particularly great as my dad is getting on.

Ian is an outstanding electrician and a genuine and honest person. He has integrity and values his customers immensly. Ian had replaced two very old switchboards in my house and I must say his work is to a v high standard. Always on time, always completing a job never an excuse. Just wish all tradesmen were like Ian. Highly recommend this trully exceptional professional.

I have been using Ian's services over the last 10+ years and have found him to be very customer focused i.e. he will take the time to discuss what I need and offer various options and ideas that I had not thought of. When we have arranged days he can do the work on he has always turned up and done a good job. If my wife had not been on site I would have felt comfortable enough to simply let him get on with it and to ring me or talk to my wife if he had questions. For the more unusual jobs like doing wet joints etc he will tell me whether he has done them before or not i.e. he will not bluff his way through it. He completely rewired my first home and I have had no problems with the work he did. He has recently brought another property upto the latest spec whilst lasing with the UKPowerNetworks company who were rerouting the main feed and moving the meter. Overall from my experience of him I would say he takes pride in doing a good job and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Ian done a create job installing a replacement bathroom ceiling light, gave advice regarding IP Zones, so I bought the right light for replacement. Will use again.

We bought a house that needed a complete renovation. We knew that the electrics were in a mess so we engaged an electrician who only carries out electrical reports to assess the house. He left a long list of required changes and said that the house needed re-wiring and a new fuse box. We asked Ian to give a quote for the re-wire. Ian highlighted the same problems but said that some of the items required by the earlier electrician applied to commercial not domestic properties under current regulations. We thought that seemed encouraging and suggested he had good current knowledge. Ian is also friendly, has a positive attitude, inspires confidence and explains things in an understandable way. He carried out all the work required and according to timetable and was generally helpful and thorough. We discussed where new light fittings, sockets and switches should go and we have found that all his suggestions were good and we now have light switches where they are more useful. Whilst Ian was working on the electrics we also had a plumber who was installing the new bathroom so they had to work together around the electrics. The plumber commented to me (sounding impressed) that ‘Ian does things by the book doesn’t he’. I heard that the plumber later asked Ian to carry out re-wiring at his own house, so I thought that was another vote of confidence. We have since had Ian back for some other electrical work and we will be happy to use him in the future.
