About

I (Peter Whiting) began working as an electrical apprentice in 1983, this was a full 5 year apprenticeship. On finishing my apprenticeship I set up my own business as a sole trader in 1988. The limited business began trading in June 2002.

The business is family run and some of the electrical services we offer are shown in the details below.

You will see I have many reviews showing despite only being endorsed as a Which? Trusted Trader from April 2018. The reviews I have from before this time are from Which? Members who have used my services and recommended me to other Which? Members. (These reviews are from Which? Local and I am able to now use these within my endorsement) Any questions about the reviews I am happy to answer.

Please contact me on my mobile number to discuss your electrical needs. I look forward to speaking with you.

Regards Peter

We had an electrical emergency and Peter came to our rescue (when I saw all the previous excellent reviews I knew I had chosen well). Peter came the same day I called him but unfortunately it was not a quick fix and he arranged to come back. His estimate for the works involved were very fair so we agreed immediately. Peter and Jack arrived at 8am and worked solidly until the job was done. Peter kept us informed all of the way with what he was doing and explaining things thoroughly. The carpets and heavy furniture were moved back in place after the work was completed and they even Hoovered up. I cannot fault the service provided by Peter who is extremely polite and hard working, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone for any electrical work that is required. We shall certainly be contacting him again if we need any electrical work done in the future. Well done Peter!

Full house rewire

Peter worked very hard on a full rewire of our 4-bedroom semi. He communicated very well, so we knew exactly what to expect, and also how to prepare each area of the house to make the job as quick and efficient as possible. He was helpful, cheerful and considerate, (we were present throughout and it took just under 3 weeks), and made every effort to minimise or mitigate the disruption as much as possible. Whenever he found something non-electrical that needed fixing, like a split floorboard, he would tell us and fit a new one which I would supply. Peter was punctual and reliable, and stayed until the job was done. He only required payment when the job was completed to our satisfaction, and I would happily recommend Peter to anyone needing electrical work.

Replacement ceiling lights

Following my call Peter visited to examine the dimmer switch which needed adapting to accommodate 2 new non- dimmable ceiling lights whilst retaining dimmer portion for wall lights. On the day he brought new suitable switch with him and completed the work quickly and cleanly. He also replaced downstairs loo light with new fitting and adjusted noisy extractor fan. Peter was friendly and professional and consulted us throughout to ensure we got the arrangement we wanted. Efficient and tidy work. We wee very satisfied and would use his services again

Excellent electrician

Peter has done quite a few electrical jobs for me. Recently he fitted a new bathroom light, tidied up a lot of cables on the outside of my house, replaced an old tube light fitting and fitted a new security light for the porch. As for the security light, I wanted a timed sensor light which sensed day/night. The one I got didn't work with the old switch so Peter went to a lot of trouble finding the right switch which he ordered online and came back to fit it. It was a challenging task which involved more wiring etc but he managed to do it and the light is working fine now! Peter always gave the price upfront and his quotations are reasonable. He's a highly knowledgeable electrician and I am very happy to recommend him.

I was really impressed with the work carried out by Peter. He answered my call straight away. He gave me a time to visit my premises the very next day, although he was busy. He gave me the price up front for a standard call out. The work was completed successfully and he genuinely seemed pleased he had solved my problem. I will definitely be using Peter Whiting Electricians again. Brilliant service.

I arranged for Peter to come and sort out a bathroom light which had defeated me due to more than the usual wires from the ceiling. Peter re-scheduled a visit to me with no fuss, kept in touch by text and email, and did an excellent job. Peter is very personable and efficient. I would highly recommend him, he’s reliable and his rates are reasonable. I have no regrets and am very pleased with the job. Many thanks.

Peter undertook 2 separate electrical tasks for us. Both were completed quickly and to estimate.

We could find no fault with any aspect of Peter’s work. He responded quickly to our request for an estimate was very helpful, made useful suggestions and was considerate of of our particular needs. He worked quickly, took great care to preserve our decorations and minimise any disruption that the work might cause. We are very pleased with the end result and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to those requiring a totally professional, friendly, reliable electrician.

I had some additional power sockets fitted in my garage as part of the preparations to turn it into a reception room. I was very pleased with the work Peter did. He arrived exactly on time, did a very neat job and tidied up when he was finished. I will definitely ask him to do any future electrical work I need. Highly Recommend.

Peter Whiting responded to my request to mend or replace my bathroom light quickly and efficiently. I sent him photos of the broken light and he came the day after I had contacted him, earlier than estimated, with a new light fitting and fixed it in 10 minutes. We agreed a cost before he came. Peter was very knowledgable, friendly and efficient.

We are so pleased to have found Peter. From the outset he has been a clear communicator and quick to respond, highly knowledgeable and personable too. We had a challenging job that we had been looking for years for someone willing to take on - to update the electrics in our 1930s Art Deco house whilst retaining the original toggle bakelite switches and causing minimal disturbance to the original floors and ceilings. It was a very complicated job and Peter found all sorts of solutions to meet our needs whilst also ensuring the work met current safety standards and would be durable. He was punctual and tidy, worked incredibly hard, was positive throughout and is clearly very skilful. We had almost given up on the project when we found him so are absolutely delighted to have our house updated but with all its character retained, just wonderful. He is also a very nice person. We recommend Peter very highly indeed.
