R and D Goulbourne Electrical Contractors LTD

I was doing a major refurbishment of a property in disrepair and David carried out a full rewire at my property. He did an excellent job and I was very happy with his work. The quality of the work was excellent. I also found his prices reasonable and he is very honest. David is a trustworthy tradesman and he is not the kind of person who will try to overcharge or recommend additional work which isn't necessary. He spread the rewire out over time so my builders could carry out other work in between and he finished the rewire in good time and by the time I needed it done. If would certainly hire David again.

We couldn’t be more positive about our experience with David and would strongly recommend him. David undertook a full house rewire for us and from start to finish the work and service has been excellent. We got several quotes for the work, and David’s was easily the clearest with the cost broken down into every switch and socket. David was meticulous in planning a large and complicated project and the whole process was very smooth. He always had good ideas and made numerous suggestions for improving the design. David has an extremely calm manner and was not phased by any of the various challenges he faced on a difficult project. He was always flexible and helpful and very responsive to our many queries. Perhaps most importantly, David is a really decent guy, and it was a pleasure to have him around. We will definitely use him for any future electrical work.

I echo the positive reviews that have been left before. Some tradespeople leave you in the dark about whether they will make the appointment - this was not my experience with David. He was on time, very polite, friendly and also very professional doing a neat job. He was very communicative before and after the appointment. Highly recommended.

Rupert installed a new power switch to the bathroom shower. The switch had become stuck and not allowing power to the shower. We had quite an enjoyable chat while he carried out the work.

What a great experience. David came to see my husband and me to quote for several bits of electrical work. He was right on time, very polite, friendly and obviously knowledgeable about his trade, guiding us through options and outcomes. I am very nervous about having any trades in the house, but David is so calm and so easy to deal with. I had a couple of ‘false starts’ when I felt I couldn’t go ahead with the work but again, David was wonderful and assured me that the work could go ahead when I was ready. The job started yesterday and David worked so hard all day, not leaving until the exterior lights he was fitting were weatherproof and safe. The lights we had chosen needed small channels making in the mortar joints and although a lot of extra work, David just got on with the job without complaint and with a ‘can do’ attitude. The works were finished this morning and I cannot thank David enough. We have agreed for additional works to be carried out when I am ready. So happy we chose Rand D Goulbourne and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

I called R and D Goulbourne having seen their reviews on Which Trusted Traders in a panic on Monday evening as we had several unexplained, major electrical failures. Rupert agreed to come round first thing the next morning in spite of the fact that he was due to go on holiday to Bournemouth first thing that morning. He arrived as promised and was able to diagnose the problem quickly after some careful investigation and testing. He then fixed the problem which was a massive relief. Rupert is extremely pleasant and friendly, patient, knowledgeable and experienced and I had the utmost confidence in him. So much so that he is going to undertake a complete review of our electrics and change the fuse board at my request- not his suggestion. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this company (his son David also works with him) and I am so pleased to have found them.

Rupert and David arrived promptly. They are very personable and friendly. I had to replace my fuse box. They did a great job very was professional and the price was competitive.

I needed a dimmer switch changed to a double two way switch. Rupert called me back same day and quoted a price. My wife has no immune system but Rupert assured me they wear full PPE. He turned up on time with full PPE. Work completed quickly and to agreed price. Totally satisfied and thoroughly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

Found Rupert on Which TT web site. Needed work to a rental property. The job was sorted quickly and they liaised with the tenant directly. Invoice was realistic. We will certainly use their services again of needed and would highly recommend. Thanks Rupert, you made a difficult job very easy.

Rupert and David came to change/move and remove a number of light fittings, switches and sockets. They also ran data cables from the ground floor to the upper floors, and connected a video doorbell. We were really happy with the standard of work, and both Rupert and David were easy to talk to, and gave us good suggestions on what to do, as we started off pretty clueless. They even worked around our decorating, and came back to fit some sockets once other trades had been in, with no issues and no extra charge. All round great experience and hoping to work with them again in future!
