We had an issue with our lighting, whereby the fuse in the mains box kept tripping. Paul worked methodically to identify where the problem was and resolved the problem. I have his number in my phone and next time I need an electrician he will be top of the list.

I rang Paul to ask if he would give me a quote for a few smallish jobs that had accumulated. He came the next day, by which point I’d added a couple more! This included two outside lights, one replacement and one new; an outdoor socket; some broken spotlights; faulty wiring in a socket; and some concealed lights in the kitchen that were broken. Paul fixed the kitchen lights immediately, (loose fittings, no charge). He then reviewed my existing wiring to work out simplest way to fit the outside lights and sockets, and advised me on the best types of light for each setting. He gave me a quote straight away, which was very reasonable. I managed to source my lights in one day; day two, Paul came and carried out all the work. He was on time, worked solidly and efficiently, and everything was completed in a few hours. At the end there was a bit of clearing up for me to do, but it was done in 10 minutes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul, and will definitely call him for any small jobs in the future.

Paul Taylor did an excellent job in fitting a wall light outside our front door. After responding to our initial enquiry very quickly, he quoted for the job , advised on types of fittings, and completed the work to our satisfaction. Paul is clearly very experienced and knowledgable. He was punctual and efficient. We would certainly, without hesitation contact him again the next time we need an electrician.

Replacement of Outdoor Lamp

I was very pleased to find such good reviews about Paul’s work, it really helped me choose a local electrician. I needed an outdoor ‘street’ lamp style head mending/replacing. Paul came when agreed and took away the old lamp head hoping that he could reinstate that one (it had green moss growing inside it). He came back about a week later with the existing one repaired and rewired, reinstalled it and it works brilliantly. I have waited a while to write this review and I am glad to say that everything is great a month on. Thanks Paul. Very reasonable, knowledgeable and friendly.

I had not used this company before, but had a couple of small jobs than needed doing so rang them this morning. Luckily Paul was able to fit me in after the job he was doing and was able to complete both jobs to my satisfaction. He was very polite and sorted my faulty light in the bathroom and fitted a new light fitting and then he disconnected my alarm system which had gone faulty overnight and I was worried about it going off, which I already knew was too old to be repaired. The price was as he quoted on the phone which was very reasonable and I would definitely use him in the future if I needed any further electrical work doing.

Requested Paul to undertake three items of work, install a new double socket in utility room, install lighting to loft space (LED strip plus switch & wiring), investigate non working double socket in kitchen. Paul is an excellent electrician, will diagnose and repair any existing problems, and produces good solutions to any new requirements you may have. He demonstrates a wealth of experience from the outset, this provides trust and you can be confident that your requirements will be delivered competently and safely. Quality of new installation work is excellent. He has all the equipment to test the safety and assurity of your electrical system. His approach is to minimise impact on your property. Cost is vfm. Wholly recommended. Spot on.

Paul has done a couple of jobs for me now. He is really knowledgable, very friendly and so helpful when it comes to questions and advice on things. He removed an old pull cord from my second bedroom in preparation for plastering work and he did a great job in locating the wires in the loft which included pulling up some boards to get to it. He sealed it off in a box and did a great job in sorting it out. He also sorted out a fuse in my consumer unit for the most recent visit to ensure it had the correct rating for the lights. Very pleased with the work and the service. I will be using him again for any future jobs and I'm really happy to have found a good local electrician for when the need arises.

We are very impressed with Paul's work and would not hesitate to recommend him. I made contact with Paul by phone on 30th Jan to request a quote for numerous small jobs. After a brief prearranged visit the next day the job was priced up and we agreed that the work would be done in few days time. That evening after having a last minute cancellation Paul checked if it was convenient to do the work the next day instead. We agreed to this and Paul arrived at the agreed time. The job comprised fitting a new cloakroom light and 4 outside lights, replacing a dimmer switch, and 2 old light switches in the hall as well as shortening a ceiling pendent wire over a bunk bed. We also needed an electric socket moving to accommodate a new oven. Paul suggested a more creative solution than we had considered possible which was appreciated. The total cost was very reasonable, and the work was completed efficiently and to a high standard.
