Foreman Electrical

Mr Foreman was asked to change the light fittings on 3 lights in my home. He was also asked to check out the failure of lights on a stand. He did the 3 light fittings with care and explained what he had done together with information of how to maintain the lights etc. He also looked at the lights on the stand, discovered the fuses had blown and rectified the matter without being asked. All the work was carried out in a professional manner and I consider the amount charged to be more than fair. Excellent!

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.

I have been desperately looking for an electrician and after having been let down time and again, I choose Ian from Which Local. He came to inspect the work to be done, set a date and time and duly arrived as promised. He completed the works I had asked for and also gave a report of other work necessary. I would definately use him again.

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.

I found Foreman Electrical via Which? Local. Ian is very professional, knowledgeble, reliable , trustworthy and turned up on time and finished within timescale. Ian installed a new RCD as well as a new storage heater; and issued me the certificate on the same day too! I can only reiterate what others have said. Highly recommend Ian's works. I have already recommended him to my relatives and neighbours!

Ian (Foreman Electrical) was selected from Which Local website to install a new distribution board. He arrived promptly, gave me a reasonable quote and the work was done very efficiently. Ian advised me to have the whole bungalow rewired, which I knew needed to be done, and he did this and replaced all light switches and sockets and made some good suggestions. Ian's work was completed to a very high standard and he is a most pleasant, helpful and reliable person and above all he is very knowledgeable. Everything has been working perfectly ever since. I recommend him very highly and when I need an electrician, I wouldn't dream of phoning anybody else.

I called Ian during the day to look at a problem I had with a shower pump (I was told by the manufacturer that it required an electrician to change a circuit board). He came round in the evening and resolved the problem without the need to change anything. I also asked him to look at 2 other things, one he fixed and the other he gave me advice. I was very pleased that he came round the same evening. He left me with a very good impression and I will definitely use him again for any electrical work. I recommend him.

Rang him concerning our Hall light which keeps blowing (and occasionally triping the circvuit breaker) and that the Breakfast Room light was flickering. His thoughts were that it could be a duff batch of bulbs causing the problem in the Hall though also suggested trying low-energy bulbs. Whilst we were talking about the Breakfast Room I looked at the bulb and itÍs fitting when the bulb fell out ! Anyhow, replaced both bulbs. Ian didn't want any payment for the 15 minutes we spent on the phone - that's service ! IanÍs advice was free and only time will tell if it was good.

In June 2012 Ian installed in our Hatch End property : up-to-date Mains earthing, a new 17th edition split level distribution board and an outside double socket. All this work was done to a high professional standard with minimum disruption, helpful explanations and everything tidied on completion. Very reasonable charges - without hesitation we would recommend Ian for any electrical work.
