Sherwood Electrical Ltd

Stef was referred to us by the nominated electrician of Elmbridge Building Control to address a large number of issues with a poor electrical installation. The work included extensive re-wiring (including two kitchens), four new fuse boards including one 3-phase, testing every electrical outlet and certifying the installation. It was a very difficult job requiring penetrations to finished surfaces, extensive trouble shooting and a very creative approach to resolving problems. Despite a very tight deadline Stef completed work ahead of time working late evenings and weekends to do so. Stef did such a great job we actually paid him more than his initial quote! Genuinely. Stef is virtually unique amongst building contractors: he's scrupulously honest, acts with the highest level of integrity, has an incredible work ethic, has a real attention to detail and a creative approach to resolving problems that would confound others. And all of this at incredibly reasonable rates. Our company owns multiple properties and we have worked with dozens of contractors but I can genuinely say none come close to Stef. Stef, we cannot thank you enough. You are a legend!

Stefan did a variety of electrical work including upgrading the fuse box and producing an EICR. Stefan is incredibly thorough and skilled and has a real eye for detail - he noticed a small, potentially dangerous crack in a socket and went the extra mile to find a replacement that matched the style of the rest of the sockets in the room. He is also really thoughtful about budget and always tried to find the most cost effective parts. He always explained exactly what he was doing and why so I was kept fully in the picture. I had a really tight timeframe for getting this work done so Stefan worked late into the night to complete the EICR and other paperwork in order to get it to me. Stefan not only worked flat out to help me but, when my elderly neighbours had trouble with a collapsed curtain pole while he was doing the work for me, he was so kind that he popped over to put it back up for them. I felt like Stefan was looking out for my best interests all the way through the work he did. I recommend him thoroughly.

I was so impressed with Stefan's brilliant service. We were having issues with our lighting in the morning, and Sherwood Electrical was the the top-rated electrician in our area (from memory) and therefore the first company I called. Stefan did his best to talk my other half through steps we could take ourselves to rectify the issue on our own, but when that wasn't successful, he came to our home in the afternoon to sort the issue out. He was very friendly, did the work efficiently and cleaned up after himself. Great value for money, top customer service and a great job overall. I'll definitely be using Sherwood Electrical again in the future.

We had put off re-wiring our house for too many years because of the inevitable disruption and mess. However the time to bite the bullet had arrived. I searched the usual suspects, Nextdoor, and Checkatrade, but it was on Which Trusted Traders I found Sherwood Electrical, and what a find! Stefan and Kenny fitted in a complete re-wire around our tight and unfriendly schedule of decorators, and carpet fitters, and the arrival of a stairlift all while we were living there. They kept the muck and disruption to a minimum and always cleaned up before going home. We were never left without power. Stefan works quickly and carefully through things, and pays meticulous attention to detail. Timekeeping was maintained throughout and the final price was on estimate. Over the three weeks in total they were with us the two of them became more like members of the family than visiting contractors, and are welcome any time they are passing for tea! I cannot reccommend Sherwood Electrical more highly!

When called in to look at our fuse board, Stephan identified some quite serious problems with our over 25 year old wiring system. He explained clearly what needed to be done, and spent a lot of time getting things right, and up to date. He made some good suggestions for energy saving, and when additional issues cropped up resolved them quickly. He took a lot of trouble to explain what he was doing , and was sensitive to our concerns. His bill matched the estimate.

We had Stefan carry out a full house electrics inspection, ahead of having a new fuse board and an electric car charging point. The fuse board and electric car charger went in smoothly, on budget, and to schedule, and you could see from the neat wiring that he has an eye for precision. The remedial work for the general electrics around the house did take longer than originally planned, with many poor connections made by previous electricians, but Stefan was always willing to explain and show what the issue was to a greater (myself) or lesser extent (my wife) depending on your interest. Most importantly even though it took longer he stuck by his original quote, and didn’t question having to come back at a later date to install a new compliant light fitting after we had dithered around choosing it. All round very personable, and we felt more than comfortable leaving him in the house if we needed to pop out.

Stefan carried out the rewire of the house at the same time I was having my kitchen replaced and also ensured all wiring to the kitchen was in place to support appliances and kitchen design. This was a huge task as the house had its original wiring from the 1950s He was always very punctual, polite and helpful and when I wasn’t able to move things around he assisted to get furniture moved and covered at the start of work. No missed appointments and on occasion, we did need to rearrange he asked my permission rather than dictating what would happen. He is a very skilled professional and I can’t fault any of his work. Everything was explained fully. Any suggested changes were agreed upon before he progressed. All work was completed within the agreed timescale. I would highly recommend using Sherwood Electricals Ltd.

I found Stefan (Sherwood) on Which website and can only agree with the many previous positive - very helpful from start to finish . Stefan carried out a landlord electrics survey for me and carried out all the remedial work within the 7 day limit I had been given by the Council . He was very thorough and clear in his analysis as to what work needed to be done - although very knowledgeable he explained everything very clearly in laymans language . There was quite a lot work to be done - my flat is an old conversion - but he managed to complete all the work in one long day . The work included the provision of a new Consumer Unit with new RCD , the separation of the lighting onto a separate mother lighting circuit ( to ensure lighting maintained and exit routes visible in the event of fire) , provision of earth water bond in Kitchen , new smoke alarm , Gas bond in gas meter + new cabling to kitchen cooker . Stefan was very personable and kept both my tenant and myself informed by text and phone . Would have no hesitation in recommending him for any electrical works

Stephan and his apprentice were very helpful turned up on time to replace fit garden lights and fix some electrical mistakes. They kept me advised of the work and put in switches that were previously in accessible. The garden lights look incredible and have improved the beauty of the Garden.

Stefan was great. He fitted new spotlights and drop light in the kitchen and new sockets throughout the flat. His work was very good and his attention to detail is excellent. Very friendly and would use again and recommend.
