RS Electrical UK

Richard is excellent. He has done big (rewiring) and small (new lights) jobs for us. He comes into his own when diagnosing a problem which lots of other electricians were not able to solve. He is methodical, thorough and comes up with a solution that works. We had a number of electrical issues resulting from flood damage and in the past poor wiring. He gave us a work plan of how he was going to solve everything, a break down of costs and timings - he delivered on everything, solved the electrical problems and did it to time. His costs are very reasonable for the excellent work he does. And he is just the nicest person to deal with.

We found RS Electrical on this site. They responded quickly to our enquiry and came within a couple of days to quote to replace our kitchen under-shelf lighting. The quote was clear and slightly the cheaper of two we received. On acceptance, they came to do the work three days later and completed the work and cleaned up all within two hours. We are very happy with our new, brighter, well-fitted lights. Highly recommended.

Anyone from London understands what a challenge it can be to find the right tradespeople. Thankfully, Richard impressed me with his professionalism, responsiveness and helpfulness throughout the entire process. He provided a fair quote, answered my questions thoroughly, and completed the work expertly. I have no doubt I'll be returning to him for all my future electrical needs.

Made Contact in Nov and was told they would do the work in Jan which worked well for me. Chased for quote numerous times and after 6 weeks of this was told not interested. Being let down 2 weeks before due to start has now delayed the refurb as I need the electrical person first. Now likely to lose the builder who has advised he has another job if he can start in January Another unreliable unprofessional tradesman.

Richard did a number of small but necessary jobs for us on the same visit. They included wiring a doorbell to the mains, replacing an exterior light and chasing in a new spur connection. He did all of them neatly and efficiently. He turned up punctually when he said he would with all the things he needed and left everything clean and tidy when he left. I found him pleasant to deal with and very professional. Would not hesitate to recommend him.

Richard fitted downlighters in my kitchen and utility room. He was efficient, tidy and expert. I was very happy with the outcome and the service. He was also extremely responsive to all my queries and his pricing was competitive. We have already asked him to do another job for us.

Small job of moving broadband router was done quickly and efficiently, within quoted budget. Would recommend.

Richard undertook a range of electrical work in our house over several days. The bulk of the task involved converting a large number of LV halogen lights to LEDs, but he also addressed various switching issues, replaced a bathroom extractor fan and installed some exterior lighting. His free quotation was meticulously researched and competitive, and the work was duly completed in accordance with the previously agreed budget. We were to source one particular light under a guarantee, but this proved more complex than we had expected. When we eventually received the fitting, several weeks after the other elements of the work had been completed, Richard returned to our house and made the installation without any additional charge. He was a pleasure to deal with throughout the job, and I recommend his services unequivocally.

Richard came to diagnose a problem we had with a failed LED ceiling light. He arrived on time , was very polite, and diagnosed the problem very quickly. He also advised on a couple of other electrical issues we have. I will definitely contact him about any future electrical problems

Richard conducted an EICR and replaced several of the light fittings in my new flat. I was delighted with the service provided by Richard. He was extremely helpful and responsive over email and telephone answering any queries I had and explaining the work he was quoting for and completing thoroughly. I was delighted with the quality of his workmanship and the detail provided in his EICR survey. He was also very friendly and arrived on time. No hesitation in recommending his services.

Very pleased with the EICR report carried out by Richard. He is responsive and professional. Highly recommend.

Richard fitted a new ceiling light in my kitchen and also gave me useful advice about the most suitable fitting. The service he provided throughout was prompt, efficient and helpful. Would definitely use his services again.

Richard has provided an outstanding service. His honest and objective assessment on our electrics served to benefit us over himself. He was punctual as well as very knowledgeable and efficient in his work. We were so glad to have 'picked' just the right electrician off the 'list of options' to come and provide a service rather daunting for ourselves. His details are being kept close at hand for next time! Thank you Richard for excellent service!

Richard has done a number of jobs for me on a rental property over the last 5 years and he’s always knowledgeable, professional and does a really good job. Always a pleasure to deal with.

We searched Which for an electrician and found Richard came highly recommended for the electrical safety check we wanted. He was quick to respond to our query, punctual, thorough in the work carried out, and he gave detailed feedback and recommendations to follow up. Very reassuring!

RS Electrical undertook a replacement and upgrade of the fuse box and house electrics following a previous very poor and dangerous electrical installation. The work was undertaken with great care and attention. Nothing was too much trouble and any questions were addressed professionally and quickly. The electrical installation of the fuse box and the replacement of cables and general tidying up of the existing installation has been done to a very high standard. I would fully recommend RS Electrical.

Richard fixed an electrical fault on a shower pump and installed 2 LED lights. He was prompt, helpful, diligent and knowledgeable. I will definitely call him again.

I needed to book an EICR check for my landlord. Richard was polite, intelligent, quick, thorough and had the power off for less than the expected time. Very positive experience.

I found Richard through the Which website, as I wanted an EICR check on my flat. Richard carried out this check and his findings showed some recommendations to meet this standard. I also made him aware of some faulty socket in my kitchen (basically dead sockets) which I was concerned about. He put in an earth main to my gas meter and fitted a new metal fuse box (safer than my old plastic one) with an extra residual trip to protect my lighting (which was not there before). He worked tirelessly to find the cause of the faults to my kitchen sockets. He found these and fixed the problem, this was a huge relief, as they were a concern, and they are all working again. Richard is quiet and polite and takes the time to explain things so you can understand. He works extremely hard and with precision and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

I would highly recommend Richard. He has completed two jobs for me - including new light fittings and the replacement of an old fuse box and re-wiring (including full testing and certification). He has always been on time, very polite and tidy. A very honest trader and reliable electrician and am pleased with the work he has done for me.

Had a dead plug, and I thought fixing it might be a lot of work. However Richard came and quickly identified that the issue was a loose wire, and fixed it up. This is the second time I've called him in and, as always, he's a guy to be relied on.

Richard replaced a socket and light fittings for us and completed an EICR check. He communicated promptly and clearly, provided a thorough quote and paperwork, did the work well and was extremely helpful and pleasant in person. Very happy to recommend him.

We have been working with Richard for several years covering all manner of electrical issues. Richard is always prompt in his responses, does great work and is fair in his pricing. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Richard really did a great job making my first flat safe and unfortunately working alongside other difficult contractors. He was always polite and accommodating. The fuse board of the flat had not been looked at for 15 years and needed replacing and all electrical outlets needed testing and replacing. He added some much needed extra points in rooms. He really did an amazing job and i appropriate the time and effort put into making the flat safe and usable again. Thank you Richard!

Would highly recommend Richard. We found his details on the Which? website, he has completed two jobs for us - a basic fuse wire switch out and safety assessment, then a replacement of the full consumer unit (including full testing and certification). Was on time, polite and tidy.

I found Richard communicated with me very well as he was slightly delayed due to an over run on the previous job. He did the work neatly and also fixed another small problem for me FOC ! Definitely would recommend this company in the SW London area.

Richard Sanders did a great job for us, installing emergency lighting, smoke alarms, motion sensor lights and a new consumer unit for the communal areas in our small block of 10 flats. As well as carrying out the work quoted for, he included a few little extras at no additional charge. He was always polite, courteous and explained what he was doing and has provided the appropriate certification for the work very promptly.

R S ELECTRICAL quoted promptly for the work. Arrived on time, completed the work to a very high standard. Was extremely tidy and got on with the job. Highly recommend RS ELECTRICAL

Richard installed lights and power sockets in our garden and connected them back to our internal fuse board. He provided a detailed quote with options for us to choose from and precise information about the fittings and cabling he proposed. The job required two visits to fit in with other works we were doing in the garden - first to lay the cables, the second to install the fittings. He worked diligently and carefully ensuring everything was installed neatly and securely. He was always punctual and is a very pleasant and honest person to deal with. We will definitely use him again.

We used Richard for the second time to install some led down lights in our bathroom. Richard helped source the light fittings and came and fitted them within an hour. Very neat and tidy and the bathroom looks great. He was very responsive on email. Great Electrician.

Richard sorted out two problems with our loft lights very quickly. He was punctual, worked neatly, and even left us with some new LED bulbs. I was very pleased with his work, which was very reasonably priced, and would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Richard was on time, neat and professional at every stage. He paid close attention to the look of the job as well as the function. He was prompt with the quote and followed up enquiries quickly. Will definitely use him for future work.

I needed new wiring for a new induction hob and oven, as well as additional sockets. Richard also spotted problems from older electrical work, which he suggested could be repaired, but wasn't in any way pushy about doing. His approach to doing a good job, being on time, being polite and being helpful was refreshing. Most importantly his quote was competitive. I will definitely call on Richard if I need work done in the future.

3rd time I’ve used Richard mainly because he’s been reliable at turning up both to assess the job and day booked in. 1. New sockets in kitchen and moving existing sockets and aerial 2. Installing chandelier 3. New sockets in loft and installing speaker in bathroom

Richard was very professional, he was on time, kept to his estimates on time and money. We used him for a few jobs and would recommend

This is the second time Richard works in my flat, he's efficient, honest and courteous. So refreshing to have a tradesman who is so trustworthy I can leave him in the flat and go to work without worries.

I needed a last min electrician in a tight time frame and Richard saved the day! He worked quickly and efficiently and sorted the issue with no problem. I would highly recommend him.

Initially identified RS Electrical online as candidates to replace a failed kitchen fan. Was so impressed by the service and attention to detail on that occasion that I subsequently instructed Richard to install a replacement Consumer Unit - some additional down lighting and a 13 amp socket. All completed to specification to budget and on time on the appointed day in the most courteous and efficient manner possible. J Stuart. London SW1

Had a fault on a switch that I couldn't fix even after replacing the switch. Called Richard and he came on the day and on time, and fixed everything up while explaining everything. Really recommended.

I've used Richard's service since 2014. His service is reliable and efficient and the charge is reasonable. Our builder used a different electrician and that guy could not fix a problem for more than two months - I called Richard and he solved the issue on spot! I am happy to recommend Richard's service without hesitation!

Richard did an EICR and some Portable Application Tests for me. His quote was very reasonable, communication -so important- excellent from beginning to end; he was punctual, efficient, pleasant, and took the time to explain the inspection results and make some recommendations for improvements. He emailed the report the same day. Highly recommended!

Richard performed an exemplary refit in our dated communal areas to modernize the lighting and install a fire safety system to bring us up to code. We are a share of freehold community of 8 flats in x2 Georgian terraced houses. Richard quietly got on with the job at hand and was efficient in what he did. Pricing was acceptable and certification paperwork immediately after the works finished. Really recommend Richard for all your electrical needs! Dan

Richard did a couple of days work with electrics in the house, including updating our fuse box, adding some new plug sockets and replacing some light fittings. Richard was a pleasure to work with. He provided a clear quote and was flexible when we changed our mind. Very happy with the standard of the work.

He has just installed a double socket, light and did other bits and pieces for me today; I really appreciate him coming out in this heat. He is highly personable & has excellent communication skills. I recommend him without reservation,

I contacted Richard for a quote for a number of jobs at my home in December. He was very quick to respond to the request and to come round to review the work and I received a quote within 24 hours after. At the time I was not able to move ahead but I recently recontacted him to replace a fuse board initially. It will be the first of many jobs as Richard did a really great job and was as quick in his turnaround both on communication and on the work itself as previously on the quote (emailed him Wednesday, he's completed the work by the following Monday). Great communication also about what can and can't be done at my property, really helpful for a first time buyer, and did not (like others who quoted for the work) get the sense that any job was too small or question was too basic for him. Thanks, Richard. Will definitely use your services again!

Richard has done a few jobs for me now, always super responsive and keeps me up to date with everything. He does a great job and just v easy to work with! Highly recommend!

I can highly recommend Richard's work. He has a good approach which means each job is clearly estimated and then the work is carried out in a professional, clean and tidy way. He has done problem solving, fitting underfloor heating, re wiring and outdoor lighting for me, and I am happy and confident in all of the work.

I am not sure for how long we have used Richard as an electrician, but he has never let us down. He is clearly very capable, but also completely reliable and trustworthy. There is no point in writing a long review - if you need an electrician, contact him. Richard - you have my phone number. I would be delighted to give occasional references to prospective clients if necessary. Robin

Richard worked for me first, providing a creative solution to bypassing inadequate circuitry in an old property. He subsequently returned to replace a raft of obsolescent wiring and circuit boxes which were a potential firerisk. Responded quickly to call out, scheduled work promptly and reliably and reasonably, was an incredibly tidy and pleasant man to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Richard to anyone who wanted to deal with someone they could really feel comfortable with which getting a job done very professionally.

I found Richard on Which? Trusted traders and was impressed straight away by his responsiveness. He came to visit my flat a couple of days later to talk through a shopping list of work I needed doing. Richard is friendly and helpful and offered advice on my changes and guidance on the regulations. He prepared a quote and we arranged a date a few days later to do the work. Richard got everything done before I got back from work and everything is working perfectly. I would certainly recommend Richard, he made the whole process seem easy.

I called Richard for a variety of small jobs I needed doing and he was able to fit my work in promptly, he procured the necessary new parts at a good price, showed up on time, and proved to be friendly and professional. He worked quickly and cleanly, I was pleased with the outcome and thought the cost was reasonable. I would highly recommend Richard.

Richard has provided a truly fantastic service to us in our London apartment, which we rent out to a tenant. Our tenant, it turns out, has very particular requirements when it comes to lighting and is also very tricky to pin down due to lots of work travel. This made communications + appointment scheduling something of a nightmare, but Richard's patience, decency and professionalism throughout were flawless. I was, and am, very grateful to him. The work is now completed, to an excellent standard, and everyone is happy. I won't hesitate to use Richard again.

What can I say about Richard that hasn't been said already! - Awesome, honest, brilliant and very approachable to name a few. A very nice person who explains clearly what needs to be done, and advises in plain english the sticking points of buying a property. Produces an EICR report within very good time frames and it's clear with pictures of said issues. He has always responded promptly, honestly and brilliantly to any questions I have asked. His guidance on our complex matter has been second to none. Thoroughly recommend Richard for any job.

Richard came referred to us by Greenwich neighbours, as someone who understands old houses. He was great at helping us identify the work to be done, and was fast and tidy. We'd have him back again.

Richard provided an Electrical Inspection Report for us whilst we were purchasing our flat - he clearly explained to us what was needed, organised with the estate agent access to the property and promptly provided the excellent report and quote for works as we requested. We then completed on the property and Richard made himself available (at relatively short notice) to complete all of the works. He came to run through what we wanted and advised on safety standards. He completed the work the next week to a fantastic standard. We would certainly recommend Richard - A++

I was impressed with the reviews that I had read in relation to Richard's work prior to contracting his services, and having had one or two very poor experiences with previous electricians I did wonder if the level of service could really be as good as described on this site. I had no cause for disappointment whatsoever. Richard provided an absolutely excellent level of service in terms of advice and assistance, reliability, professionalism, promptitude and quality of work, and with a friendly and affable disposition. In short, Richard is probably the best tradesperson I have ever hired and his services are indeed exceptional and come highly recommended. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Richard again as I genuinely appreciate his approach to the work that he does and service he delivers. I only hope he doesn't get too busy as I am strongly inclined to seek out his services again for future projects!

Richard has carried out extensive work in my commercial premises. He has been exceptionally reliable and accommodating. Having his number at hand gives me great peace of mind. Highly reccommended!

Richard was incredibly helpful, came round after normal working hours to remove our old oven and install the new one. He was very informative and friendly. Brilliant service, would highly recommend to anyone.

I had a new fuse board fitted by Richard and was totally satisfied with the work. The wiring was fully tested and Richard found a section of wire that needed replacing, which he did with the minimum of disruption. A safety certificate was issued for me on completion of the job. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Richard is a very well mannered and friendly workman, who is very fair in pricing and has helped me out with many electrical problems, including my whole house to be rewired. I would firmly recommend Richard in future and have done so to many of my friends, who have been very pleased. Thanks Richard!
