Lloyd Hallowell Electrics

A disappointing experience: I booked an appointment for 10:00 and the electrician called at 07:50 on the morning to ask if they could arrive at 08:00 because they were in the area. Owing to my schedule, I requested that we keep to the time booked, to which they said they couldn't and would be with me later that day. Whilst not entirely convenient, I advised I was in the property until 17:30 so they could arrive any time up to then. I received a call at 17:04 stating they could be with me at 18:45, so, we rearranged the work for the next day. The following day they arrived at the agreed time, though, they were keen to stress it was their "day off" as if they were doing me a favour. As soon as they entered the property, and were shown the socket that needed replacing, they complained about the work, how hard it was, and even said after completion that they considered walking away because it was so bad. This is despite obtaining a quote, prior to which I detailed the work required and provided photos of the socket/area in question. They completed the work, which can't have been that bad because it took about 20 minutes, and then left the work area in disarray, not tidying up after themselves. The work was completed to a satisfactory standard but I would question their expertise handling bigger projects if something as simple as changing a socket was considered such a "tricky" job.

Lloyd and his team did an absolutely fantastic job at our property. The booking system is extremely easy to use and you have full transparency on who is coming to do the work and how they are getting on with the journey. Communication with Lloyd was excellent throughout. He was very quick with responses at all hours of the day (including weekends) and always went out of his way to provide very detailed explanations of what kind of work needed to be done, why they were recommending it be done a certain way, etc. He gained our trust from the very first interaction and we were never disappointed. In terms of the actual work carried out, we first had an EIRC done which highlighted a lot of remedial work required, as the property we recently bought had been somewhat neglected in that respect. We discussed the results with Lloyd and got a very fair and practical recommendation on which items were important vs nice to have. In the end we decided to take him up on most of the work and that required multiple visits, but all was carried out seamlessly. The finished work is to a very high standard and we are overall very happy and would wholeheartedly recommend Lloyd and his team.

Lloyd and his team are fabulous. Our very friendly and helpful chap Nathan arrived on time, fitted seven wifi smoke and heat detectors, and also checked existing electrical work and consumer unit. I can only say that they are incredibly efficient, easy to get hold of and lovely, meticulous attention to detail. They really do what they say they will do. I own rental properties in East London and Lloyd Hallowell are my go-to always, having used them for several jobs. Also, work was completed within budget and on time. They are also always available for advice between jobs. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Lloyd Hallowell's electrician was on time, engaging and personable and did a really great job modifying and fitting our light fittings - would definitely recommend!

I contacted Lloyd for adding several double sockets and changing lights. This was done quickly and efficiently, and completed within a few hours. He also suggested some further work to improve that would be useful to have done in the near future. I will have no hesitation going back to Lloyd for this work.

This was my second time working with Lloyd. He sent his best technician Nathan to bring his knowledge to bear. The job was completed in good time and to a good standard. The process was friendly and efficient. Recommended.

What an amazingly nice and friendly guy Lloyd is who soooo knew his stuff. Not only is he a brilliant electrician who is totally knowledgeable, he also is creative in making sure the very best outcome is achieved. I was so impressed with his first class workmanship and his passion for detail. The resulting work was second to none. I STRONGLY recommend Lloyd and thank him for doing such a great job.

I booked Lloyd to replace a dodgy old consumer unit (fuse box) and repair a faulty circuit he had noticed when I had booked him to do a general inspection a couple of months earlier. His online booking process is very efficient. Lloyd arrived on time, completed the work to a high standard and left the area spotless. He talked me through everything he would do clearly and was very polite and friendly. I thought he had a very positive attitude, even when an unforeseen problem was discovered due to the wiring age that he came up with a successful plan B for. I'd definitely book Lloyd again and I would recommend.

Electrician Nathan sorted out a few small jobs regarding light switches and plug sockets. He was quick and thorough and offered sound advice on some lighting issues. He was fast and efficient and the final bill came in at less than quoted. I’m happy to recommend this company.

I got an EICR report before buying my property. Lloyd's team was thorough and professional and the customer service in answering questions and queries afterwards was fantastic. Super easy and friendly service - very comforting for someone who knows nothing about electrics/DIY!
