Following the advice of other users I called Foreman to replace a window fan that had packed up. He came the same day to assess the job, installed a replacement the next. Very friendly, efficient and reasonable charge.

Rewiring of 1929 semi and remedial works
Ian did a great job at not just rewiring the upstairs of our house but also in testing the recent downstairs "rewiring" done by our previous builder's "electrical" subcontractor. On finding that much of the latter work was unsafe he worked effectively to rectify it, without necessitating major disruption to our new kitchen/dining room and bathroom. We will be using him for future electrical works.

My review.
Ian moved a socket for me as new furniture would have covered it. He cleaned up afterwards.

Fast and no fuss
Ian supplied and fitted 3 out of date mains connected smoke alarms for me, fixed 2 outside lights and tidied up my fuse board. He came round when he said he would, went and bought the alarms and came back and finished the job quickly. All without fuss and at a reasonable price. This is the second time I have used Ian and I have confidence in his skill and competence and would not hesitate to use him again and recommend him to others.

Foreman Electrical
Foreman Electrical took our call outside office hours, which put our minds at rest. Ian Foreman was helpful and experienced. He diagnosed the problems quickly and was able to solve them easily. We did not have all the materials necessary for the work to be done and so he did a 'shop' for us. He encouraged us not to make unecessary expenditure. The work took approximatly three hours and together with the materials he purchased the charge was very reasonable. We will be using Foreman Electrical again'

Very happy
Electricians or other building contractors who like Ian work professionally in the interest of their client are rare. I had an incident today with my wall sockets; an electrical arcing was happening and I was lucky to be in the room and notice it. I called Ian, having found his number from a directory. He was helpful on the phone, he arrived on time, and completed the job in a short time giving plenty of useful information about the problem and my other questions. I Couldn't recommend him more.

Kitchen LED lights and ceiling
Ian helped me select the right LED lights for my kitchen, and did a great job with installation and repair work to my ceiling after the holes had to be repositioned for safety reasons. Would highly recommend him and his quality of service. Thanks!

Good service
Our current builder hired an electrician. A few weeks back our bedroom light switch blew up. The old electrician came along and replaced it for a charge but unbeknownst to us he put a 2nd hand one in again. The Which electrician came in and replaced it correctly and charged very reasonably too.

Excellent
Ian carried out an electrical inspection on my property and rectified the faults. The work was carried out to a high standard and Ian promptly attended the same property at a later date when the gas safe engineer damaged an electrical cable. I will not hesitate to call Ian again when I require the services of an electrician.

Prompt and efficient
John Lewis were unable to connect up my new fridge freezer and dishwasher to the existing spur sockets. Ian came round the same day and connected them up, changing one spur socket to a plug socket. Simple job but done quickly and for a reasonable price.

My Review
Ian Foreman is an excellent electrician. He is very helpful and understanding to the customer's needs. British Gas made 3 visits to my place and were unable to resolve the problem (working within their 40 minutes rule) I was left to sort the problem myself, although I have an insurance policy with British Gas. Ian came and sort the problem out within 2 hours. I can highly recommend Ian

Ian has done a number of jobs in my flat from sorting a dodgy rewire job to changing lights. Every time he has been more than helpful, friendly, punctual and trustworthy. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Reliable And Trustworthy
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.

Survey, new fuseboard, three new lights and a extractor fan.
Ian did work for my parents 20 plus years ago. When it came time to sell the house he had the paperwork stored away. When I wanted to buy a maisonette and the building survey recommended an electrical survey Ian was who I called on. He was very thorough and packed up on things that would not have crossed my mind. He explained everything in simple terms without talking down to me. Ian fitted a new fuseboard with RCBOs and SPD, )after researching new laws to see what was required to be done), three new lights and an extractor fan. Some of the work was bringing up to scratch things the previous electrician had not completed correctly. I found Ian to be prompt, professional, polite and helpful. He may not be the cheapest but he will provide a top service and you won’t have any complaints about him or his work.

Reliable and knowledgeable
I’d used Ian before in a previous property and had no doubts about using him again in my new house. He pointed out work needing to be done to comply with current regulations as well as the jobs I had asked him to look at. Everything done with care and minimal mess and very efficient. Ian is my go-to electrician!

Replacement of Light Switch
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.

You won't find anyone better
Ian installed a ceiling rose which was tricky due to there being 3 wires from what was previously a ceiling fan fitting. I needed it done fairly quickly due to my house move. Ian turned up at the time he said he would, explained the complexities of switched live wires & completed the work very efficiently. I wish I had found Ian years ago but I'm now moving out of the area.

Very happy
The trader was recommened to us by a friend. We contacted him to update our recess lighing to LED and install an outdoor light. While doing the recess lighting, Ian noticed that the lighting was potentially unsafe and made safe for us. He was very good, clean, tidy, talked through everything and stuck to the orignal estimate. We were very happy with the work that was done for us.
