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 were puzzled by a sudden apparent failure of the immersion heater and called Peter since he was local to us in Bromley and we were leaving the area the next day. He responded immediately and, although he already had a full day's work promised to get to us that day albeit early evening. In fact he arrived by 4pm having phoned previously , quickly diagnosed the fault and rectified it. He phoned later to check that it was working saying that if not he would return early the next day so that we could travel as planned. He was pleasant and wore a mask throughout with a friendly and professional manner. We will not hesitate to use him again and can thoroughly recommend him.

We had a shower switch that needed to be replaced (the kids pulled too hard on the cord and it snapped!) and Peter replied quickly and came to fix it within a couple of days. He was kind, knowledgeable, and explained his work so that I understood the repair. I heard about him from a neighbour and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

My family has used Peter for years and completely trust him and his workmanship. I moved into a new flat and asked Peter to help with some rewiring including repositioning an existing socket and diverting a TV aerial cable. I'm very happy with the work and would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for any electrical works.

Called Peter out to an electrical fault to my elderly mothers immersion heater. He call in on his way home on the same day, and fixed the problem quickly at a very fare price. He was very sensitive to the fact that my mother was elderly and in the vulnerable category, particularly in these uncertain times. Would not hesitate to recommend Peter or use him if needed in the future.

Peter came to install some new wall sockets in the lounge and a new bathroom extractor fan. He arrived on time, and was tidy, quick, considerate, friendly, and efficient. Throughout his time he gave advice, and - as his visit was during the Covid pandemic at the time of writing - he was extremely cautious in relation to appropriate social distancing, wearing a mask during his stay, maintaining his distance, and being very considerate to both of our well being. He will be my first port of call should I ever need an electrician in the future.

Arranged appointment involving electrical work, the worker was on time and the job was done well and professionally. Extremely careful and considerate over issues of the Covid 19 virus - trader kept his social distance as I am getting on for 70 and he was aware of this. Thought it was a fair price.

Peter is reliable, professional & friendly and he does great work. I have used him for several jobs now - including fitting new radiators, a new bathroom heater & replacing an old circuit board. He is easy to get hold of & makes an effort to fit your work in to suit you. His quotes are competitive, he turns up when he says he will, he does a great job and he is very tidy. What more could you want! I am glad I found him & will definitely use him again.

Work involved running a spur for the installation of an external double power point for the back garden, and relocation of a porch light at the front of the house. Peter carried out the work in a professional and timely manner. Easy to talk to, very helpful, easy to contact, good communicator. and a good sense of humour!

We found Peter on Which? Trusted Trader and I concur with his other reviews. He is a really nice, friendly and professional man, who I felt was a very competent electrician. He managed to slot us in on the day I contacted him and immediately understood and identified what we required. He moved sockets and repositioned the switched fuse spur for a new boiler, plus some other work. He worked quickly and deftly to produce a very neat result. His work was well priced and, I felt, value for money. I have no hesitation in recommending him and would be very happy for him to do further work for us in the future.

Peter was engaged to replace a bathroom extractor fan. He was very helpful from the get go, assisting us in finding a suitable fan for our property. The price was good and the work was excellent. He was punctual, clean, knowledgeable and friendly, everything you would hope for in a contractor. The fan works well and we would heartily recommend Peter to anyone looking for a sparky.

Fault finding on electrical circuit

Peter Whiting was contacted, gave a quotation for his schedule of work, which was agreed and he said he would be at the site within the hour. Mr. Whiting arrived within the hour and asked a few questions of what was happening and then got to work immediately. Mr. Whiting carried out his work in a clean, tidy and professional manner explaining everything as he went a long. Two faults were found in the offending electrical circuit one of which was rectified, the other isolated and he would come back at an agreed later date to fix. I would use Peter Whiting again and would recommend him to anyone who requires electrical work completing.

I would recommend Peter. He arrived on time, even though it was raining hard, he installed two light fittings in the living room. He works very professionally, has great communication (never keeps you waiting for his response) and he always tried to do his best at keeping the area where he works clean and tidy.

I would highly recommend using Peter as he arrived on time, fixed the problem quickly and efficiently and was very neat and tidy too. I worry about electrics, so was concerned when all my lights blew but after being given his number by family who recommended him, It just took a quick phone call and Peter popped round to check everything over and sort the lights out. Definitely ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ five star service.

I called Peter to fix failed lighting circuits at my elderly father’s house. He arrived on time and located the problem within minutes. He also replaced a couple of light fittings and made sure everything was safe. I totally recommend Peter. He works quickly and thoroughly. Peter explained his charges before starting the job and offers exceptional value for money. He explains the costs for any parts he has to replace as he goes along, so no surprises. I would happily call on him again if needed.

Peter Whiting replaced and updated our existing fluorescent tubes above our suspended kitchen ceiling. He advised us that what we asked for would be far too bright and accordingly installed fewer lights. His technical advice proved absolutely right and we are delighted with the new effect. He is an extremely helpful and pleasant man who never wavered from his allotted time for doing the work and worked efficiently and professionally and with a good sense of humour! His invoice, which was very reasonable, was emailed to us the same day. This was the first time we had used Peter and we would not hesitate to use him again, in fact we have a list of electrical jobs for him to carry out. We consider him a real find!

Peter was brilliant for what we needed. He managed to fit us in at quite short notice to carry out a series of works we needed doing before having some furniture delivered. He was really clear on providing a quote which broke down all the costings and was happy to explain about each item. When it came to carrying out the works he was always on time and great to chat to, explaining things as he carried out the work. I would highly recommend his services.

I contacted Peter to complete two small electrical jobs for my elderly father. He understood why it was important for me to be around when the work was done and came "out of hours" so that I could be there. He completed the work quickly and to a high standard and updated my father throughout on his progress! He also looked at possible additional electrical work and quoted for this within a few days. We will definitely use him again and I would highly recommend his work to others.

Peter arrived on time, worked hard to repair and test an old storage heater and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. Peter also provided excellent advice prior to the visit, saving us a few hundred £s on the cost of a full replacement. Very pleased with the result.

Mr Whiting fitted a new hall light. We supplied the light. He also fitted new bulbs into under kitchen cupboard lights, which seemed impossible to open in order to fit the bulbs. All work was undertaken quickly and everything left clean and in good working order.
