KD Thorpe Electrical Contractors Ltd

We have used Kevin a number of times. He and his staff are competent and capable electricians. We recently asked him to replace a bathroom heater; because it took some time to track down the replacement the bill was expensive, but in my opinion was justified because his colleague had to find the right unit for us. We will certainly go to Kevin for future electrical work.

A good firm to know. I wanted my oven, which was delivered on a Saturday, to be installed as quickly as possible. I e-mailed the firm on the Wednesday before the delivery date and an experienced electrician installed my oven for me first thing, the following Monday morning. The cost was their call-out charge plus the price of the necessary cable. If I had any electrical work to do in the future, I would certainly use this firm again.

Two mains sockets needed replacing. Phoned on Monday, Tony came next day, put new sockets in place and also replaced a faulty PIR outside light. All done quickly and well for a fair price.

I used kevin to do some fault finding and fit a new fuse board. Kevin and his team are very knowledgable and freindly. They even make good the holes they make when installing. I cant fault them and they are very reasonably priced. I will be using them again in the futre

I have used KD Thorpe on previous occasions as they offer a prompt and reliable service. I was letting a property on a Saturday, but discovered to my horror on the Thursday evening that the main RCB switch kept tripping. I texted Kevin more in hope than anything else late on Thursday evening. However I received a call from Kevin within minutes, and he arranged for two of his electricians to visit the property the following morning at 9am. They arrived promptly (early in fact !), and with admirable focus identified the fault within a short space of time. This was a burnt out wire (due to heat from a light), and they promptly fixed this. Problem solved. KD Thorpe offer a reliable, trustworthy, professional service which I would not hesitate to use again.

Another brilliant find from Which? local. Got in a mess with some rewiring, rang for help, replied in 30 minutes and electrician here to fix it 30 minutes later for a call out charge of ÔøΩ65. All now safely wired in (in a bathroom too!). Superb and very happy. Will cerrtainly use again as/when necessary.

We engaged Kevin to install ceiling lighting in most of our house, add power outlets and move some existing ones, and perform an electrical certification on the property. Throughout the process Kevin ensured that we were given regular updates on progress, he kept us informed if he discovered any problems, and made sure to confirm any instructions where there was potential for misunderstanding. As a result, we had utmost confidence that he was acting in accordance with our wishes - he ensured he had verbal sign-off on everything before proceeding. There were several hitches (a result of previous electrical work done on the property) that Kevin did his best to explain to me, showing great patience with my lack of technical understanding and talking me through (and showing me evidence of the problem) until I was satisfied I understood what was required. Overall he was the consummate professional; I would have no hesitation in using him again.

Brilliant electricians! Tony arrived on time and sorted all our electrical issues in no time (including testing sockets to ensure they are safe, replacing sockets, fixing loose wiring). Highly recommended. We will be using them for any electrical issues in the future.

I would highly recommend K D Thorpe Ltd. Kevin and his team did a brilliant job of re-wiring our house, remaining cheerful throughout the hottest time of the year with temperatures above 30. He provided a clear, accurate and competetive quote for the work, always arrived on time and was professional and helpful in solving requests.

KEVIN SAVED MY BACON TONIGHT. Desperately needed an electrician to resolve all sockets not working. Cant live without internet, so this became an emergency. Couldnt find an engineer to come out tonight. Kevin himself couldnt come out but on the phone he worked me through the cause of the problem by eliminating the faulty appliance which was responsible for tripping the RCD in the fuse box. Wallah ! ( Naughty kettle). Problem solved, no call out charge, no fee. Great online service. Helpful man. And thank you kevin.

Very Highly recommended. I got a prompt estimate subsequent to which Kevin and his partner came and did the required work with care and courtesy. It was a tricky job yet they worked really hard to do it well. I am sure others would have given up. This is a good company.

Called Kevin on Thursday afternoon to change a light fitting for an elderly relative. He visited the following day and did the job immediately at a very reasonable price. Courteous, friendly and took the time to call me back to check on everything before he proceeded. Would definitely recommend.

I needed an electrician to fix the ceiling light in my bathroom. Spoke with Kevin on Friday and arranged for him to come round first thing on Monday. Impressed that Kevin was punctual, early in fact. Fixed the problem quickly and at a reasonable price. Kevin was pleasant and professional and I would definitely recommend him to others and KD Thorpe would be my first call if I need further electrical work doing.

Prompt cheerful service, very satisfied customer, highly recommended.

Kevin and his team tick all the boxes. Turn up on time, fast quote, good value, quick turnaround, friendly, professional, tidy and Daniel even made ME a cup of tea! We have used Kevin twice now and have also called him at 6pm on a Saturday night and he happily gave us advice and even called us back to see if we were ok. I would definitely use them again.

Kevin and Daniel did a great job, even updated old equipment for free, pleasant and professional. I would happily recommend them.

Had a bathroom "light/extractor fan" switch that stopped working and needed fixing. A reliable handyman we use recommended an electrician to us - after trying for about two or three days to get him to come round or at least to call us back when he promised to, we gave up and looked on Which? Local. Rang KD Thorpe, and Kevin came round within a couple of hours of phoning him (15mins earlier than promised) & replaced the switch. He was efficient, friendly and helpful - on his way out, even replaced a couple of kitchen lightbulbs that I hadn't got round to doing! So, very happy to recommend KD Thorpe.

Friendly, efficient and very helpful. I highly recommend them

Used Kevin and his team to deal with a few issues that needed seeing to and they were excellent - Kevin came to assess the job and kept me informed throughout. They were punctual, efficient, tidy, very pleasant, polite and obliging. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Margaret S.

Kevin and Tony did some work in my house a couple of months ago. Kevin came up with the idea of a remote-control to save the trouble of re-siting a light switch, whgich saved the need for re-decorating. They were both friendly, helpful, polite and clean. They are busy, so I had to wait a time for them to come, but it was worth it.

This firm responded promptly and effectively in getting my work done. Particularly good at keeping in touch with me as client via email, mobile etc. Have recommended to my next door neighbour! Chris P

I cannot praise Kevin and his team enough! I called them late afternoon and they turned up the following morning. Kevin kept me informed of when I could expect his team and they arrived at the time advised. I found them to be efficient, tidy, extremely courteous and worth every penny. This was the first time I have used Kevin but it definitely will not be the last!

Kevin provided a punctual and reliable service at a good price. I'll be happy to use him again and can highly recommend him.

I needed a full re-wire for my house. Their response to my initial query was quick, a full itemised quote provided and a date set for the work to be done. Very reliable, a high standard of work, and an earlier than expected finish at a reasonable price. Kevin kept me informed daily of progress and is a nice guy. I'm happy to recommend this firm.

Honest and reliable electrician

Called after a previous electrician failed to turn to finish a job. They were punctual, polite and identified the problem quickly and fixed it.I thought their charges were reasonable and were explained to meon the telephone prior to taking on the job. I would not hesitate to use them again.

I found Kevin on Which? Local and I'm so glad I did. He arrived with his trusty sidekick Tony. They both turned down my offer of a cuppa, preferring to get on with the job. They resolved several problems for me in ultra quick time and at a good price. I would definitely use them again. Thanks Which? Local.

Troubleshooted a number of things other electricians failed to do. Friendly, thorough and fast.

Kevin and his trusty sidekick Tony have done a number of jobs for us over the last few years, from running electricity from our house to the shed, putting in a new fuse box, installing a lamp fitting and, most recently, installing a new light downstairs that we could switch on from upstairs. Always a swift response and efficient work. Highly recommended.

Really friendly knowledgeable guys. Turned up on time, did the work quickly, cleanly and careful to clean up well behind themselves. Good value also. Would use them again.

Phoned on Tuesday. Were round at mine at 11 on Wednesday. Honest, pleasant people, non technical explanations. Kept me fully informed all the way through the work which was fixing problems with 4 dimmer switches, a faulty transformer in a ceiling halogen and replacing a light fitting. All done by two blokes in one hour. I am fairly hard to please having had a few bad experiences, I can recommended this firm without hesitation. Oh and well done Which? Local!

Fixed several lights in 2 properties for us - reliable and efficient. quote he gave me was very accurate. helful and accommodating.

Very easy to do business with. Available on the mobile on the weekend, clear and straightforward communications, turned up on time, worked all the time, courteous and polite. Quick diagnosis of all electrical problems, and efficiently sorted out, using spare parts and accessories from his van. Would definitely recommend and would use again without hesitation.

Kevin and his assistant Tony gave us excellent advice on how to make our electrics safer and how to do so at least cost. Nothing was too much trouble; they were very pleasant to have around; and were very careful to clean up when the work was finished. We would always go back to them if we needed more electrical work done by people we could rely on.
