Advice
I needed advice from a professional Electrician regarding whether I could have an Electric Double Oven installed rather than a Gas Oven. (My existing gas oven is over 18 years old and the replacement parts are not available). I exchanged a few text messages with Mr. Ward giving him some information about the home circuit board, and he visited the house later the same day. He advised me on how the 16amp circuit was not enough for an Electric Double Oven and although he could do the necessary wiring it would be difficult, unsightly and expensive. He advised me to replace the existing Gas Oven with another Gas Oven, as the price difference overall would be about the same. He talked himself out of a job, but I felt it was honest and useful advice. He also was able to give me names of local gas engineers to contact.

Electric fans in bathrooms
We contacted Lee via the Ashley Cross brochure. We are new to the area and wanted a good electrician for various things in our apartment. Lee was first class and he helped us with lots of questions. We asked for a quote for our patio and the quote came the next day. We found Lee to be very professional and trustworthy. We would recommend Lee very highly to our friends.

Outstanding work
Lee responded brilliantly to our electrical emergency - really helpful over the phone and then came out on a Saturday afternoon really quickly. He found the fault, diagnosed the cause and had it mended in under an hour. He was really fast, was very clear about what he was doing and why so that we understood the problem and the solution and he was extremely clean and tidy in his work while with us. He is a supremely professional electrician and very impressive in all that he does - we would most certainly recommend him and are going to use him again for some more work in a week's time.

I would highly recommend Lee. He provided good advice on the work to agree what was needed. He priced the work quickly; he provided a very clear quotation that broke down the various parts of the work. He was very flexible as to when the work could be done. He arrived exactly on time. His whole attitude was very professional and polite. His work was first class and he tidied up fully at the end of each day. We are very pleased!

Light fitting and emergency electrical outage
1) Internal and external light fitting 2) Emergency call out for electrical outage Lee's standard of work was of the highest quality and his professionalism and pride in his work shone through. His attention to detail was excellent and he was very flexible in what was required. We were very impressed and grateful for his customer service as he answered an emergency call when we lost electricity due to a problem with our trip meter. He came within two hours and rectified the fault. For both areas of work he maintained contact to ensure that his work and the electrics were exactly as we would want. The work for light fitting was done to the agreed schedule and exactly as quoted. With regard to the emergency work the amount charged we considered very reasonable. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lee.

Lee has done lots of work for me over the years and can be 100% relied on to do a professional job every time. He is a perfectionist; plans the work in consultation with me and does a very professional, well thought out and considered job every time. He is meticulous in cleaning up, extremely helpful and makes sure that I'm completely happy with the work when it's complete. Fantastic guy - can't recommend highly enough.

Excellent Work as usual
We use Lee for all our electrical jobs and that's because he is so professional, respectful and highly efficient and we really trust his work. This was a very small job, but he was on time, did the job, was very tidy and a pleasure to deal with as usual. Its fair to say we would recommend him to everyone 100%. Trust is so important, so when you find a good tradesman at anything its one less to find. Thankfully Lee is still young so we have an Electrician covered for plenty of years yet!

Professional, polite and honest
I asked Lee to fit a chandelier for me. He agreed a rate and price over the phone. On the day Lee texted me an ETA, he was on time, introduced himself was polite, professional and honest. Lee explained to me that to fit the chandelier safety he needed to move it slightly from original fitting. Despite extra work Lee did not charge me extra. Lee is honest and trustworthy, I have been made to feel uncomfortable by other tradesman, but Lee is a gentleman. It is important for me to feel safe in my home. I would recommend Lee highly and will definitely be asking him to do other jobs for me in the future.

Absolutely went above and beyond
Lee is an absolute gem - I called him in a mad panic because everything just stopped working suddenly and offered to pay anything it cost to get him out to fix the issue before I go on holiday, and instead of taking advantage of this (which I wouldn’t blame him for!) he instead very patiently stayed on the phone with me for an hour and talked me though how to isolate the issue myself and we fixed the problem! Incredibly helpful and patient and knowledgable, would call him out for an actual paid job any time!

My lights had failed at my commercial premises.

Helpful from beginning to end and value for money. Would recommend for both domestic and commercial, breath of fresh air.

Fantastic Service- professional support
A couple of years ago for the first time we used Lee to replace fuse box. Excellent job all round. Last week a circuit in the kitchen kept unexpectedly tripping- a call to Lee and he was fast professional and determined to resolve it asap. It proved to be the washing machine to our surprise. Without Lees knowledge we would have been lost, but more than that, I can honestly say I've not come across a more helpful or professional person in the trade and I fully recommend Pure Electric to anyone.

Cheerful, professional and methodical
I requested Lee via email on the basis of the good reviews I had seen and was not disappointed. The apparently simple job of replacing old garden floodlights was complicated by the poor quality and lack of foresight evident in the original DIY installation. Lee arrived on time and quickly, efficiently and methodically worked through each problem as it arose to ensure that each new light installation was neat, safe and compliant. He also took great care to ensure that any maintenance or replacement work needed in the distant future would be possible without creating the problems he had encountered. I did not compare prices but I am happy that his hourly rate is an accurate reflection of his skill expertise, even allowing for the lengthy travelling time needed to get our address. I have already booked Lee for another job.

Thorough, Professional, Safe, Reliable, Quality
We had an electrical survey with a different company on a Grade II listed thatch for sale. Luckily we got a second opinion & Lee kindly gave 2 hours of his own time giving us sound advice. Lee is all about doing things safely, professionally & to what the regulations demand and luckily for us he discovered some potentially lethal things the previous cowboy had missed. Lee then talked us through what was needed, the essentials and non- essentials. His work on a new consumer unit was outstanding & use of different circuits detailed. Lee takes great pride in his work and is 100% reliable

I originally found Lee on Checkatrade and have now used him four or five times for electrical work such as new fuse box, extra sockets, shower electrics etc. I have total peace of mind and confidence in all of his work. It is difficult to find tradesmen that are meticulous about their work, who take great care of your home and who are so helpful and pleasant. Lee is all of these and I wouldn't consider using anyone else for electrical work. Absolutely highly recommended.

Lee Ward did an electrical inspection of our house (as required by my insurer), found a whole raft of deficiencies and then fixed them. This involved fitting new consumer units, fault finding of faulty circuits and replacing some wiring and fittings. He also installed a new circuit with four smoke detectors. In all six days work. All the work was done to a very high standard. Communication with me was excellent so that we were able to make joint decisions on how best to remedy the deficiences.

I was recommended Lee by another electrician who was too busy on another project to respond to my urgent underfloor heating failure. Lee gave me precise times and dates when he could come and resolve my problem before Christmas, and he was as good as his word. Given the amount of travelling he did to find the correct replacement component his charges were very reasonable. His service was excellent.
