I've used Dave as my go-to electrician at my house since 2013. I needed some LED spotlight units to be installed in my bathroom to replace the exisitng units and Dave quickly quoted for the supply and installation and we agreed on a Saturday (today) for the works. These days it is so reassuring to know that the works will alway be done correctlly, I have no hesititation in recommending Dave. In fact I've decided to have more spotlight units in my house replaced next week!

David came up with a great solution for wiring up our garden office despite our fuse box being awkwardly located. The work was completed to a high standard, in the agreed amount of time and on budget. He was always happy to help with any questions we had about the work and very clear in his answers.

Dave was the second person I had over to give me a quote for fixing a seemingly-broken wall socket in my garage. Whilst here, he not only corrected the problem (which turned out to have a simple cause that the first electrician had missed), but also fixed one of my light fittings that was coming loose, all for a modest fee. I was so impressed that I asked him to return to replace my consumer unit and perform a wiring test, all of which were completed quickly and efficiently. If I have any further electrical work done, Dave will definitely be the first person I call. Highly recommended! :)

I had several small jobs that I thought needed doing. Dave, who is very nice, checked sockets, smoke alarm and electrical fittings and assured me that I didn't need to worry - his explanations and advice were invaluable. Those that did need fixing (broken switch and light) were repaired with speed and efficiency. I highly recommend Dave and his company. He will be the first electrician I will call in future.

Mr Newman carried out some electrical work at our property, i.e. removing existing spotlights and replacing them with new ones, removing wall sconces, replacing sockets - which included some channelling into the wall and plastering - fixing our doorbell etc. He was extremely reliable, was always punctual, very professional and experienced; he also always cleaned afterwards. In addition to this, his fees are reasonable. I highly recommend him.

Dave has been solving the electrical problems that our Victorian semi has been throwing at us for the last 7 years when we had the good fortune to stumble across him... In that 7 years he's seen to the whole range of electrical work for us in our own home but also in rental properties. He is reliable, efficient, informative, entertaining, thoughtful, intuitive and knowledgeable and gets the job done! The work he does for the NHS means that he's on top of the most recent best practice - very reassuring. All round good bloke and we count ourselves very lucky to be able to call on his services.

We found Dave on the Which? Trusted Trader website and he certainly lives up to all the excellent recommendations he has received. He came round to quote exactly when he said he would, gave us a prompt and fully inclusive written quote by email the following day and carried out all the work we required in a competent and timely manner. He also came up with useful suggestions for replacement electric heaters and extra heating in the bathroom and we were pleased to follow his advice. As we are not local to the property we entrusted the keys to him which he posted back to us when he had finished the work. We would definitely recommend Newmans and from this first experience we will certainly be using Dave again and will not even consider using any other electrician.

I contacted Dave in the afternoon last week, as we were experiencing lighting problems in our bathroom (via a pull cord). Basically we had no lighting, due to a shortened wire. Dave advised that he would come and 'have a look' that evening, although dependent on the potential size of the job, he might not be able to fit us in for a good few weeks. Thankfully Dave (assisted by his son) was able to complete the job there and then in around 20 mins, which was a real bonus for us. Dave was friendly and informative throughout and I'd not hesitate to use him again for any electrical work. The cost of the repair was minimal and his fully booked diary is clearly an indication of the quality of his workmanship. Thanks Dave!

We phoned Dave after reading the fantastic reviews on which local. We were lucky he had a cancellation and was able to come within a couple of days. He moved some power points but was also able to put in a new power point and trunking for a wall mounted tv during the visit without any prior notice. He was really easy to deal with and very nice and straightforward in his approach. Costs were reasonable. Would definitely use him again and would wait for him to be available if he wasn't immediately free!

I had a 15a MCB that kept tripping taking out power to living room and bedroom sockets. Struggled for days and even with the help of another electrician couldn't resolve the problem. Searched for electricians on Which Local and called Dave Newman after reading his reviews. He diagnosed and fixed the problem over the phone in under 5 minutes! Thoroughly professional, didn't even try to suggest a call out (others would have jumped at the chance of some easy money) and most importantly very knowledgeable. If I need ANY electrical work done in the future Newman's Electricals will be my FIRST choice. Thanks Dave!

It was third time we used Dave Newman, this time was to install a new electric cooker. It was meant to be a quick job, but we didn't know that it needed a housing unit. He improvised a solution after struggling to negotiate a gas pipe which was in the way. We offered him an extra payment, but he refused. All this happened while he was not feeling well. If this 'going the extra mile' does not earn him the title, I don't know what will!

I would like to thank all those who made a previous recommendation regarding Newman's Electricals because of those recommendations I first recommended Mr Newman to my friend who was so please with his service that I used his first hand service today. He was polite, courteous and explained to me exactly what he was doing and even though I realised I had purchased the wrong item Mr Newman made a suggestion on a cheaper alternative without having to change the installed item. He is busy (but it is because he is very good and he will endeavour to deal with you straight away if urgent) but I would advise that if the job you require is not urgent and you can wait, then my advice is to wait!

David Newman came to quote most promptly after a previous company had let me down on a bathroom installation within a new extension. The work was time sensitive and partially complete which is never ideal for any tradesman to pick up. David proved thorough, careful and competent on his initial inspection which took about an hour and included a full explanation of certification procedures. He emailed the quotation and his availability within 24hrs of his visit. The price however was noticeably higher when compared to my other quotes so I did not go ahead on this occasion, but I would not rule him out for future projects if he could be more competetive in his costing.

After problems with my oven blew the house circuit, I called Newman Electricals yesterday lunchtime, leaving a message on voicemail. They not only called me back, but made an appointment for the same day and turned up on time! While fixing the oven, I was chatting to the engineer about other minor things, and he fixed those too (two broken or dangerous sockets, and a damaged light fitting). He stuck to the price he'd quoted for fixing the oven, too. Wonderful service from a friendly and efficient engineer, just what I wanted.

Dave has done a fantastic job locating and fixing an intermittent fault which made the dishwasher stop working as well as the RCD keep blowing for no apparent reason. He was determined to find the cause and stuck at it until he did, then apologised for not being quicker! His fee was a less than I expected too. His approach was totally professional in dealing efficiently and tactfully with the errors of a previous electrician whose work caused the problem. I shall certainly be happy to use him again and recommend him to others.
