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

Peter fitted a new pull-cord light switch for me. He was very helpful, quick and cleaned up afterwards. I would have no hesitation in calling him again.

Peter provided a very prompt and efficient service, fixing a light switch in my kitchen. I have no hesitation in recommending his services which are also reasonably priced.

Very competent and approachable electrician. One really feels he knows what he is talking about and his work is excellent - very important when dealing with electricity. Just a pity one has to pay VAT!!

Had a problem with a cut out switch on an immersion heater. Peter came promptly, found the fault and ordered the part while he was here. He came back as soon as the part arrived and fitted it. Very quick job, paid only the call-out charge. Excellent. Remembered that we had used him for a much bigger job a couple of years ago, but forgot to do recommendation than. Would definitely recommend him and use him again.

I needed a new connection installed so my new oven would be separate from my hob. Peter visited and emailed the quote a few hours later. He did the work a couple of days later at a time to suit me. He dismantled and re-installed a cupboard to gain access and took old oven outside. Helpful, friendly and efficient.

Mr Whiting is meticulous, tidy and professional. He installed a new consumer unit at my request. He subsequently recommended a number of additional improvements (including to our tired downlighters), most of which I adopted. I am completely satisfied with his work.

Peter Whitting carried out a very comprehensive electrical survey on a house my son was buying and identified a number of essential safety improvements. After the house was purchased Peter was asked to undertake the necessary work , including replacing bathroom downlighters and earth bonding. He also removed redundant old sockets and wiring, fitted attic lights and obtained and installed a non standard sized cooker hood. He turned up on time, was helpful and professional and can be recommended with confidence.

Peter came to fix a few small items, jobs that other electricians had turned down as being too small. He was quick, efficient and very polite, I would not hesitate to recommend him

Peter came to fix a security light switch in the entrance hall. I had already bought the switch but when he came round he realised that I had bought a single switch to replace the double one! Peter said that I could return it and that he'll get the right switch for me the same day and fix it the following day.He went out of his way to get the switch and fix it the following day. Prompt and efficient service, for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him.

Peter carried out a formal Periodic Inspection survey and subsequent total rewiring of our newly purchased flat. During the survey he was very keen that we should see for ourselves the previously poor state of the wiring and encouraged us to discuss the report findings and measurements with the NICEIC customer support line prior to going ahead with the rewiring. The rewiring job itself was carried out exactly to our specification (plug/socket positions etc). Chasing out the runs in the walls for the new wiring created heaps and heaps of dust, but Peter and his mate were very concientious in cleaning up and left the walls in such a state that they only required us to surface fill with plaster and smooth. At all stages, Peter was good humoured, kept us up to date with his activities and was generally great to work with. I would have no hestitation in having him back for any subsequent electrical changes to our property.
