MG Sayer Electrical and Building Services

Martin takes a huge amount of care in his work - and makes sure things are completed to a very high standard every step of the way. His skillset is very broad, and he can offer smart and creative solutions to the various challenges that inevitably come up with any project. We couldn't be happier with the work he's completed in our kitchen and around the house - and being such a nice guy it has been a pleasure to have him around!

MG Sayer's work is exceptional. He has carried out work for us on a number of occasions and it's always been to a very high standard. This time he changed the flue in the kitchen, fitted new lights in our bathroom, removed the fire alarm and fitted a socket underneath floorboards, which must have been difficult, and did some plastering. We are very happy with his work and would highly recommend him. He is an extremely courteous gentleman whose prices are fair.

Martin recently came and laid a circular patio area for us. My partner initially dug out the area, removing most of the soil and Martin adjusted our original quote, deducting an amount off the original price for labour. How many people would have the decency and integrity to do that? Very pleased with the patio area and Martin is returning next year now (as he is so much in demand) to add a pergola to the same area and to do some other work for us. Martin really is an honest and trustworthy guy. His work is excellent and of a very high standard. Once you have Martin on board, you’ll never need anyone else!

We heard about Martin after he undertook a range of services for my sister, all done to a very high standard. Martin replaced our kitchen taps and a washer in our downstairs toilet hot water tap. Unfortunately, the flexible tap connectors in our kitchen had previously split due to hard water but Martin kindly popped out to buy new ones so the job could be completed that day. And still invoiced us what he’d quoted earlier. Martin is very professional, polite and was very considerate to our situation. We would certainly not hesitate using Martin for future work or recommending him to others.

Martin undertook a range of services for us as part of our kitchen refurbishment - plastering, tiling, worktop removal, electrical, and plumbing. All were undertaken to a very high standard and I would not hesitate to use Martin for future work.

Martin decorated our dining room and bathroom. The work was done to time and to an excellent standard. This is the fifth time Martin has done work for us and we thoroughly recommend him.

Our family have been customers of MG Sayer Building & Electrical work for the past many many years. We first worked with his father on our variious homes as we progressed 'up the ladder', Martin and his father worked on our business premises both our West End Store and our very large warehouse where he built a wonderful mezzanine, showroom and offices for us. They completely rebuilt our house in Highgate, they did our twin sons home when they were at university, their flats when they came back to London and then most recently our current flat in Highgate. Now Martin has his own company as his Dad has retired. His work is exceptional. He has a great sense of responsibility and there has been nothing yet that he cannot turn his hand to and do it really well. We actually felt reluctant to even leave this feedback as he is ALWAYS busy .................. he is also a totally trustworthy lovely guy.

I had rung Martin shortly after moving into my property last year, to ask him about electrical/building services, to be told that he was fully booked for months. Well, that made me even more determined to wait for him because a busy tradesman is a good tradesman. Martin came and did some garden building jobs - laying a shed base, building steps, putting in posts/trellis and laying another concrete base just outside our garage. I particularly like the steps because he got some old ones from an architectural salvage yard and given the fact that we live in a period property, his attention to detail is what makes Martin stand out from the rest. We are most impressed with Martin’s work, the quality of it. Neat, tidy and polite. We are so pleased to have him on board. He is coming back in September to do another couple of jobs for us. If you can get him booked in, you won’t regret it. He is an absolute diamond.

Following a mains water leak that went unattended to for some time I chanced upon the services of Martin Sayer for the associated electrical problems that remained after the plumbing problems had been sorted. I would highly recommend Martin not only for his trade skills but for his general demeanour and his attention to detail. He appears to be skilled in a number of building aspects that he uses with good effect. I intend to use Martin again for a forthcoming bathroom project. It would appear I was lucky to have Martins services at very short notice on this occasion and must plan ahead when I intend to use him in the future.

Martin has completed a few jobs for us now in our home, from installing electrics to plastering our walls and we have been extremely happy with his work. He is punctual and communicates what he is going to do well. He is trustworthy, skilled and honest. We find Martin to be reliable and he finishes his work to a very high standard. His charges are fair. He was very COVID safe. We would highly recommend him.

I have an old house which needed a new wooden kitchen following remedial damp treatment which was carried out before Martin arrived. I asked Martin to fit a kitchen designed and made to the measurements that I had sent to a kitchen manufacturer. When it arrived there were problems with the kitchen units that had been delivered. Some were the wrong size, some were not built square and some had shelf supports that were not level. Martin did a truly excellent job. He had to alter some of the cupboards and made brackets to hold others up on the sloping walls. His work was neat and he never left a mess. Obviously there were some extra cost because of the problems, but they were not excessive. I cannot recommend Martin highly enough for his persistence, patience and professionalism. I just cannot believe that any one else would have left me with such a lovely kitchen.

Martin came out to us in October to quote for some electrical work and to fit a kitchen and floor. His communication was excellent, he was courteous and very experienced. We found Martin to be a genuine professional, reliable and hard-working guy. We couldn't be happier with the standard of work- his finish is absolute perfection- it's as if he is working on his own house! Our house is an old house with very uneven walls etc, however he did an amazing job. Our floor and kitchen have been fitted so professionally and with real passion about the aesthetics- he genuinely cares about what he is doing. His electrical work, is also second to none. Its so good to have working outside lights again! We changed the scope of our works slightly, whilst he was with us and nothing flustered him. We can 100% recommend Martin, and we will definitely use him again in the future- it's so nice to find someone, who can do everything Martin can do and who takes such care in their work. Thank you Martin, we are so happy with your work.

Had a replacement ceiling in the living room along with new spotlights and extra switches/lights in a couple of rooms. Skills required a qualified electrician and builder, Martin has both as shown from the excellent work he carried out. Really cannot fault any part of the job and even adapted to some in-flight changes I made along with extra electrical work I threw in. Prompt and good communication from initial quote to arriving each day. Very reasonable pricing for the skill and quality you get. His knowledge gave me confidence and he always dealt with the workload in a professional manner, providing feedback and suggestions along the way. He was exceptional in keeping things as clean and tidy as possible. Trustworthy, as I had to go to work and leave him alone most of the time. Finally, his effort in providing a good customer experience seemed to be the priority and showed for example, when I had a lot of rubbish to get rid of so he arranged a large skip and even moved most of it while I was working. No doubts in recommending Martin and will certainly be using his skills in the future, presuming he doesn't get too busy!

We employed Martin to build a TV wall in the kitchen and some decorating. We found Martin to be very professional and friendly. Nothing was to much for him. His work was finished to a very high standard and left the house clean and tidy when he had finished. I would recommend Martin highly.

I had tried to change a light fitting myself and found there was no earth wire. I wasn’t sure if it was just that light that needed fitting or if the whole house would need rewiring. After finding Martin on this website, I emailed him on Saturday 16th January. He replied within 20 minutes and offered to come over the next day to look at the work I needed quoting for. Martin was very thorough and reassured me that other fittings were fine. I appreciated his honesty and it was nice to find someone who wasn’t trying to quote for more work than was needed. He arranged to come back less than a week later on Friday 22nd and carried out the work. He was very neat and tidy and even fitted my new light fitting as well while he was there - more than what I’d asked for in the quote. I was really pleased with his responsiveness, friendliness and trustworthiness. There was a call out charge for him to give a quote on the first visit, which it would have been nice to have had flagged in advance, but it was my fault for not asking. Regardless, I was pleased with the overall price, which was still competitive, and would happily use him again for further work.

Martin has just completed a job for us plastering our bedroom as well as doing some electrical work in the room. We are really happy with the finished room and the quality of his work. He communicated well with us about when he would be able to do the job, kept to his estimate, although we changed the job a little and kept us informed on the job about what was going on. He is punctual, helpful, hard-working and friendly as well as tidying up well after himself each day! We would thoroughly recommend him to anyone and would certainly use him again.

This job was a small roof repair, although we have also used Martin Sayer for larger jobs in the past. He always responds promptly to enquiries. He is very thorough and careful, and the quality of the work—both this job and others—is consistently high. Martin is honest, reasonable and is very pleasant to deal with. In our experience his charges are always fair; in fact, on this job his quote was the lowest we received. He observed COVID restrictions appropriately. We can recommend Martin without any reservation.

I contacted Martin when I was looking to update an existing storage heater. First thing I noticed is that he always answered my call no matter what he was doing... how cool is that. I told Martin what I was looking for and he sourced the required heater for me at a price far cheaper than I had been able to find for myself. Martin arrived at the time he said he would, wearing a mask which he kept on at all times in the house. He worked steadily and in a tidy fashion taking care to protect the walls and flooring and although the job took longer than anticipated charged what he had quoted. Martin is a great listener as well as communicator and I have no hesitation in recommending such a well mannered professional. Happy Customer, Hertfordshire.

Martin very kindly returned to do more work for us, this time out in the garden. Rotten decking was taken up, the site and the old vegetable garden levelled, prior to a new patio being laid. Raised flower beds were created using reclaimed railway sleepers. Lights were installed, and Martin gave us valuable advice on what lighting to choose. Martin created a rain water drainage channel, allowing run off water to drain away, rather than collect on the patio. Once again Martin's work was meticulous, and he was, as always, diligent in time keeping and mindful of our needs. Access for our pets was done first, allowing minimal disruption for them. I can thoroughly recommend Martin as a builder, decorator, and electrician, and perhaps more importantly, as someone who really cares about the job in hand, and the family for whom he is working.

Unlike most of Martin's customers I had never used his services before. I live in a period property which needed repair of the damaged bathroom floor and replacement of the old bath, lavatory, bidet and basin. I was happy to design the bathroom myslelf and knew that I would have to had to wait several months for Martin to start the work because he is popular. I was quite happy to do because he struck me as friendly and helpful on our first meeting. Once Martin got cracking, of necessity, he rerouted all the plumbing, reinforced the floor joists and floor. He also built a box so that the plumbing and cistern could be concealed giving the bathroom a more modern feel. He fitted new lights a water pump and double concealed shaving sockets in a cabinet so that we can charge our brushes discretely and a hair dryer. I cannot empasise enough what a relief it was to have someone doing the work who was as keen for me to have a perfect bathroom as I was. Although Martin seems young he has been "working" in the trade since he was 10yrs old so he has gained a lot of valuable experience, knows reliable colleagues and is able to give good advice. By the time my bathroom was completed it had become the sturdiest room in the house.

Martin has previously decorated a kitchen for us (review 23/06/17) & did electrical work in our new house a year ago (review 16/10/18). We had to await availability for him to decorate our hall, stairs, landing & cloakroom, but I would not want anyone else. Martin's work is meticulous &, after each day's work, he takes up his floor covers & vacuums so that we can live in the house overnight almost as normal. We know we can leave him in the house & that he will work hard & to a high standard.

To know that the job will be done to a fantastic standard, that my house will be kept immaculate throughout and that the job will be on time and on budget AND that Martin is totally trustworthy is worth its weight in gold. Martin's most recent job for me was restoring and repairing all my external woodwork and redecorating my bedroom - but over years he has done the electrics and everything I have needed in terms of building and decorating (which is quite a lot). I have no hesitation in recommending him for your work. And the other plus - is that everything is quoted, itemised and billed - so you can see exactly what the costs of each thing is.

Martin returned to build a ramp to the front door and garden path, having been here to refurbish the whole house. Martin's work, as ever, was spot on, and the ramp was built swiftly, absolutely bang on budget. It has meant that I can now get in and out whenever I choose, a life changer. I would never use another builder, and would much rather wait for Martin, than employ anyone else. Whatever the wait, Martin is worth it! When Martin is with you he is with you, no nipping off to other jobs in between.

Martin has just completed another job for us, decorating our bedroom, landing, stairs and lounge, installing new flooring and replacing all our lights, plus building us a new porch canopy. This is the second time we've used Martin and we would never use another builder other than him, if we needed work done in the future. He does a fantastic job to an incredibly high standard. He always arrives on time, is friendly, polite and always tidies up before leaving for the day. And when we have extras to add to the job he's always accommodating. Martin is a pleasure to have in the house and his standard of work is second to none. Because he's such a good builder and in demand you may have to wait a short while before he can fit you in, but he's definitely worth the wait. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Martin has been working at my house for the last eight months. The work he did was varied, carrying out a total refurbishment of eight rooms and a hall stairs and landing. All work was done to the highest possible standards, and done in a cheerful manner. Martin was prompt in his time keeping, arriving when he said he would, and always worked a full day. We always knew in advance what work Martin was going to do, either for the week or the day. All work was done to the agreed budget, and when I asked for changes to be made to a fireplace we had a quick discussion about it. Martin did not mind making the changes in the least, even though it probably delayed him by a week or so. I cannot recommend Martin enough, he is both a very kind and considerate person, and a very good craftsman with a wide range of skills. Well worth waiting for, and you can rest assured Martin will carry out your project paying great attention to detail.

Martin installed a new consumer unit and extra socket in the house plus a ring-main and multiple sockets in the garage. He thoroughly tested our systems before beginning the work, explained problems clearly and provided solutions. He was friendly and professional and all the work was carried out to a high standard. We are confident we now have a safe electrical installation all properly certificated. We have no hesitation in recommending him.

Martin did a fantastic job decorating our kitchen and re-fitting our cloakroom. He was always on time, polite, friendly, helpful and kept a clean environment, tidying up after every day's work. We asked for a few extra jobs to be done and he was really accommodating. His standard of work is fantastic. I have already recommended him to a friend, and we wouldn't let him leave without quoting for another job we want doing.

Martin came when he said he would, did what he said he would and charged what he said he would. His work (redecorating our kitchen) was to a very high standard. It included stripping anaglypta paper than had been painted many times, plastering a wall and ceiling, making good and repainting wood-work and walls. All fitments on walls and ceilings were removed and replaced. Martin made sure that kitchen units and floor were protected throughout. At the end of each day this protection was removed and the kitchen was cleaned so that we could use it. We are very pleased with the result and have no hesitation in recommending him.

I could not be more satisfied with the work Martin has done to renovate my flat. The job lasted three months, and throughout this time, Martin was always reliable, punctual, honest, courteous, communicated well and listened to (and delivered) what I wanted. Most importantly - the finished job is to an incredibly high standard and I am very happy with the work he has done. To give you an idea of the job: stripped out the main kitchen, living and dining area, fitted new kitchen, laid sound-proof flooring throughout, built new cupboards and shelves, installed new lights and consumer unit, insulated and boarded loft, made good/decorated throughout, as well as a host of other jobs. Finding good, honest builders who can communicate well is hard, but I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Martin for any job - big or small.
