Hawtin Electrical

Can recommend- swift response, good communication throughout, and excellent professional job. This time for small job- sorting out smoke alarm- but would not hesitate to use for major job in future.

Provided a fixed price for for what I thought would take 2 days, did 5.5 hours work and then claimed he had run out of time and left the job incomplete.

James carried out an electrical safety check of my house and he fixed things that needed repair and also installed a new consumer unit. James was prompt and carried out the work efficiently. He put everything back tidily and and clean just as he had found it. I would definitely use James again.

James worked with our main contractor to do all the wiring for our house extension and internal alterations including new lighting and sockets, powered roof lanterns, external lights and sockets and a new consumer unit, all tested and proved so that we could gain our building regulations approval. James also did some extra work including fitting a new light and changing an existing switch. All work was done on time and quickly, no fuss, clearly explained and drawn onto a plan, and James was great to work with, cheerful and clear, and did what he said and when. Would certainly work with James again.

We wanted to replace two light fittings in our hallway, so a relatively small task. James response to our request was prompt and clear. On the day he had the courtesy to text to say he was running 15 minutes late. The work itself was carried out efficiently, he provided us with some useful advice and tidied up when he had finished. Very happy to recommend.

James from Hawtin Electrics installed electric power points and switches in my summer house, installed the main circuit box in the kitchen and ran wiring out to the summer house via the garden along the house walls. Very neatly done, looks great, tidy and quickly done with minimum fuss. Also installed an outside porch light. I would use James for any electrical work I need and highly recommend him.

Thanks James, We recently bought an apartment in Woodstock that required substantial updating and up-to-date overall safety certification. We needed to junk and dispose of the storage heaters, which were old and inefficient and on a separate tariff, necessitating reconfiguration of the distribution boards We requested substantial rewiring to accommodate two offices and had ordered a ThermaSkirt central heating system that required electrical connections through four separate circuits needing to be chased into the walls, and included wiring for the thermostats. In short, we had a major project that needed an electrician knowledgeable and competent across a range of professional skills. Being new to the area, we researched customer feedback online and were attracted by James Hawtin’s stellar reputation. It proved an inspired choice. Not only did James do a perfect job, amply demonstrating all the relevant skills, but he proved a valuable source of disinterested advice when discussing options. He proved extremely good at problem solving, which saved us a lot of money. Moreover, his social style in the domestic workplace is admirable, unobtrusive and low key, but friendly and available. He works solidly and expertly with visible concentration of purpose and is notably skilled socially, a quiet pleasure to have around the place. We would certainly use him again and would recommend him without reserve.

Third time we've used Hawtin for electrical work and would always recommend him. The only issue is that the more recommendations he gets the less time he'll have for future bookings! They are efficient, really helpful, and tackled some of the unusual electrical issues that we had with an attitude of really wanting to help get them solved. We have an old terraced house with dodgy wiring galore and he is totally uncomplaining about it. Maybe he likes the challenge!

Had James round to do a small lighting job. The job was done well and quickly and price was reasonable. No complaints. He is our go-to electrician now. We recommend him.

James provided an efficient and friendly service, with clear communication and excellent work. Highly recommended.
