Foreman Electrical

Ian (Foreman Electricals) contacted us promptly, gave us an reasonable estimate for the work along with advice regarding the job on the date & time agreed. He arrived to start the job as agreed, there were unforeseen technical issues which he resolved : returning as agreed to replace a faulty part in the new fitting. The job was successfully completed in a prompt and professional manner and Ian provided advice as needed. We now have a Q lovely modern ceiling light with dimmer switch. We would highly recommend Ian and will be contacting him in the near future for other electrical work in the house. Thank you Which Local this was the first time we had used this service and we will be using it again. Ian's previous reviews were accurate, he proved to be dependable when he returned with the needed parts to complete the job and would not accept any payment until the job was complete.

Ian (Foreman Electrical) was selected from the Which Local website to fully rewire, install and modernize all the electrical wiring and fittings to our home. This task covered many areas of electrical work; rewiring all rooms, replacement of existing light switches and sockets to meet modern day requirements, as well as the installation of a outside sensor security light, smoke alarms, loft light, a new distribution board and an internal sensor for the hallway recessed lights. Additionally, electrical tasks for the bathroom included the installation of fire rated recessed lights, a mirror light and an extractor fan, which was mounted in the loft, thus reducing the noise. For the kitchen, the tasks included, the installation of a number of fire rated recessed lights, and all electrical appliances were installed through fused spurs. In all aspects of his work, it is clear that Ian has a vast experience of electrical knowledge and his work was completed to a very high standard. In addition, we are confident that Ian keeps abreast of the latest Electrical Safety Regulations and we were reassured that his work complied with all safety aspects, as this was one of our key criteria, as well being N.I.C.E.I.C registered. Ian supported this requirement by providing test certificates to ourselves and informed the local council on completion of the job. It was clear that Ian is able to combine his strong technical knowledge with his design knowledge and this was evident when he provided suggestions for the bathroom and kitchen that were consistent with our expectations and aesthetically pleasing. We were particularly impressed with Ian's efficient method of working and as a result there was no snagging list. His excellent interpersonal skills means that he is approachable; this was especially helpful in the situations where he was required to provide clear explanations in easy to understand language. We were also very pleased with IanÍs professional approach, being polite, tidy and courteous at all times. It is clear that Ian takes pride in his work, along with his exceptional after care skills; this leads us to highly recommend Ian for anyone intending to undertake any electrical work. Ian also recommended a bathroom and kitchen fitter whom produced particularly pleasing results.

Found contact details and helpful reviews on Which Local. I can only add to all the other positive reviews: having called on a Friday afternoon, Ian attended on Saturday morning and gave very helpful, honest advice. Excellent service and I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Found Ian through Which? Local. Came promply and with necessary spare parts to fix broken shower switch. Great service.

I had couple of issues with my RCD and wiring (tripping). I found Ian through Which? Local. He was prompt. He explained the problem and fixed them quickly. Highly recommended.

Ian came to fix the "tripping" that kept on occuring in my house; he found the problem soon as he was also aware of the recall on the fuse that was faulty. His attitude and mannerism was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and even checked my electrical certificate

Ian came round promptly to assess my requirements. He was very pleasant and friendly. I had trouble with recessed shower-room and kitchen lights. He located a major fault in the installation. He collaborated with my handyman and rectified the fault. He returned when something was not quite right. His charge was within a reasonable amount. I will certainly use him again for further electrical problems. I can definitely recommend him. Irene Lawford

Ian was very professional and efficient. He came to change our bathroom fan, very quick and without any delays or unnecessary time wasting. He was pleasant and explained everything very well. Highly recommended.

Contacted this trader because of reviews on Which? Local. He did some rewiring work, and put in a new fuse board. He was pleasant and efficient, arrived when he said he would, and seemed to be good at his job. He cleared up well behind him. We would recommend him to other people.

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!

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.

Ian checked a faulty telephone box and extension for me and also fitted new under-cupboard kitchen lights. He did both jobs very well, very efficiently, and was friendly and reasonable in price.

Ian has restored my faith in electricians! My power has been tripping out over the past two years on and off and after 3 electricians were unable to diagnose the fault I had given up hope. Ian was able to come out to me on a Sunday (which saved my sanity as power was tripping out every 40 minutes on the saturday!) and was here for less than an hour. He found the fault, it seemed too easy so he checked to make sure it wasn't anything else. He only charged me a very modest amount and even text me the next day and a week later just to check it was all ok. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him (and he doesn't drink tea ;-) )

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.

Good attitude, attended on time, value for money. Would happily call again.

Excellent service .Exceptionally well priced and highly competent.We would not hesitate to use him again
