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 came to deal with our office lighting within 24 hours of our call. He was on time, quick, helpful, good natured, and efficient. Very pleased with the result, and have no hesitation in recommending him.

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 contacted Peter at short notice when I needed an electrician to do a number of small electrical jobs around the house before we started decorating. Peter came to spec out the work, took a note of it all and promptly emailed a detailed quote. He went out of his way to fit the work in on a specific date I had requested. He is professional, does the work extremely efficiently, is reliable and has a pleasant manner. He also made some really helpful suggestions, including finding some previously hidden lighting wiring in the ceiling. He came back a second time to install some security lighting and to tidy up redundant electrical cabling and install earth bonding. He provided electrical installation certificates promptly after completing each lot of work. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Our house needed an almost complete re-wire. Peter gave good advice, clear timelines, stayed totally on budget and we're so pleased he's booked to come back and do some more for us. He had to work around a very busy household and was very understanding.

Peter carried out a periodic inspection and we went on to have him do a rewiring of our house. From the start of the process, Peter kept to his word and got back to us when he said he would. He was happy to explain what he was doing and what the problems were. He gave us options to minimise damage to decorations, solved problems and went out of his way to provide us with what we wanted. He was very hard working, well organised and mindful of our particular domestic circumstances. His sense of humour, courtesy and positive disposition made it easy to have him around. We would use his services again and recommend him.

Peter did a professional job on our lighting, with care and attention. He explained what he thought needed to be done including where he could pull up floorbaords in the most effective way. We can recommend him as honest, and someone offering good service and good value.

Peter has fitted LED floodlights outside our house, tidied up the wiring and advised on and fitted a new extractor fan for the shower. He has been quick to respond to calls, very professional and approachable and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Having been given a ridiculous quote by someone, I checked Which and found Peter. He was efficient, prompt, reliable and honest. He fixed the problem and gave a full breakdown of what had happened. Have complete confidence in his work and would definitely recommend and use his services again.

I found Peter thru Which Local. Peter installed a new ventillation fan in our bathroom to fix a leakage problem due to dampness. He advised us to use a better quality fan rather than going for a cheap one and it worked great, it is more than six months now and since then we never had any leakage problem where as before the water was dripping like anything in our porch. At all times I found Peter to be prompt, courteous, reliable and knowledgeable of his work.I would definitely recommend Peter to anyone.

I required a trustworthy tradesman to complete an electrical survey on my house and selected Peter from this site based on the number of recent reviews. Peter was thorough in his investigation and I was happy to go along with his recommendations. He replaced the Consumer Unit, tested the electrical system, changed plugs and switches, installed security lighting, smoke detectors and an extractor fan (I received a NICEIC Building Regulations Certificate of Compliance, detailing all of the work undertaken) He returned on other occasions to change light fittings and even took the trouble to communicate with the manufacturer of one of my purchases that was not functioning as expected. Peter is reliable, knowledgeable and extremely pleasant to deal with. He is tidy, undertakes the work with minimum fuss and I would highly recommend him.

Peter came round at short notice and dealt with my repairs very promptly and professionally. He came back for follow-up work, and for both he kept to his (reasonable) quotes. I would recommend him, and will use him again.

Peter replied to our telephone call immediately after he returned from his holiday and came to see us on the same afternoon. He helped to diagnose the cause of our immediate problem and remedied a number of other smaller electrical problems. He is very personable, easy to talk to, explaining the issues in "layman's terminology", and we felt very at ease with him being in our house. We fully endorse and recommend his services.

Problem with our electrics occurred late on Tuesday night, with no upstairs lights. Peter cheerfully accepted the call and was on our doorstep first thing Wednesday. It took all of 2 hours crawling round our chilly loft to track down a poor connection, but the fee for finding and correcting the fault was very reasonable.

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!!

We contacted Peter about possible implications of an issue with our lighting. He took time to discuss and clarify the issue and made space in a busy schedule to come and check key parts of the system. We found him helpful and conscientious and will use his services in the future.

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 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.

We used Peter's services to wire in an induction hob which needed an additional connection to the main circuit board. He was very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. I would definitely use him again.
