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

Kitchen wiring mystery solved
Customer Service
Quality

My flat had been rented out many years while I was abroad. A number of electricians had come and done quick fixes for the landlord's safety certificate. But what kind of work had they done, and what was that mysterious problem in the kitchen? Not all 'trusted traders' are equal. With Peter there was none of the sense of distrust that I often had when discussing the problems with the kitchen wiring and how much it might cost to put right. Peter communicated clearly and was happy to explain things in a way I could understand. He was as clear as was possible about how much time he would need and the price. There were no shocks and work was completed on time within the agreed budget. I recommend Peter for this reason and because he did a sound job, was punctual, neat and tidy. The kind of work that should be standard, but sadly is not. People's ideas about value for money may vary, but I feel I paid a fair market price, and am planning to ask Peter to complete some other work in the future.

Having used Peter previously on a couple of occasions I knew he was the man to call when we had a problem following a power cut. He came within 24 hours of 'phoning him and he regularly kept us informed of his likely arrival time while apologising for not being able to come sooner. He always provides a first class service and you feel completely at ease with him in your home. Geoff L.

One morning I work up and went downstairs and tried to turn the light on and it just made a fizzing exploding sound and went out. This was really difficult for me as I work from home and good lighting is essential at all times. I called Peter early that same morning and thankfully he agreed to come early the next day. Although it was an early start he was energetic and enthusiastic and soon had the light working again. As I had explained what had gone wrong beforehand he came with all the essential equipment; it might have been a new fuse. He also brought his own ladder. He completed the task within 15 minutes; amazing!! I was really impressed. During this time we also had a general chat about life and he said that, given his time again, he would still choose to be an electrician. Thank you so much for all your hard work Peter. You started the day off really well for us both.

Peter did a great job fixing a slightly tricky problem with our kitchen electrical system, as this is an old Victorian house with ancient wiring. He was friendly, reliable, hard-working, open and fair in his charges, testing the system in a consistent way to ensure there were no problems, and leaving us well-placed to carry on using electricity safely until the system is upgraded.

Peter came and fitted a new chandelier and dimmer switch in the sitting room. He was friendly, efficient and professional. Very happy with the work. Also quoted for another couple of jobs.

Peter Whiting removed two sets of halogen ceiling lights and replaced them with LED lights quickly and easily. We had previously been told that it would be necessary to take the ceilings down in order to undertake the work. We are absolutely delighted with the result. During his first visit Peter suspected that the earthing on our electrical system might be deficient and he came back shortly afterwards to check and renew it.

Repair to kitchen light. I found Peter to be a very knowledgeable and efficient person who managed to repair our ancient three~bulb ceiling kitchen light that had previously been diagnosed as beyond repair. He dismantled the light, found what was wrong and put it right. Would highly recommend Peter for any electrical problems and will definitely make use of his expertise should the need arise.

Peter fixed two small electrical problems in double quick time. I contacted Peter on Monday morning and by Monday evening he was at our house and sorting out our light problems. They were just small issues but at this time of year it can be a bit difficult not having a functioning light so we were grateful he was able to come so quickly. He explained his costs up front and stuck to his quote at the end. All in all we were very happy and would use Peter again for similar or bigger jobs.
