SMD Electrical Services Limited

Very good work. Helpful advice. Helpful recommendations for other work. I shall use him again.

Steve came and rewired light fittings for me - pleasant, and an organised and tidy way of working. Now investigating time switches for me.

Steve arrived at my house at exactly the time we agreed and i immediately found him pleasant and quick to get on with solving the problem. He took great care and managed to rectify the situation in spite of very poor original workmanship on behalf of the house builder. (The house is 4 years old.) He even pointed out that when i paid him, i had written out the cheque for too much! I would certainly use him again and would have no hesitation in recommending him. Please note that he likes his tea cold!

Punctual, thorough, tidy. Did a good job and kept me informed of what he was doing and what was legally necessary for safety. In view of rain affecting an outdoor job he stopped work and came again as soon as weather permitted, not charging for additional travel etc.

2 home visits from Steve who carried out the work required and gave excellent advice in particular with regard to health and safety issues. He is a very straitforward trader who tells you in advance of his visit, what the minimum cost will be. Steve is strongly recommended as a highly skilled electrican, polite and trustworthy.

on time, very polite and pleased with work. Highly recomended.

Steve did several jobs for me over a period of about two months. In addition to fitting a new consumer unit and testing the wiring for the whole house he installed a new armored cable to my garage and log cabin, re-wired the garage and installed power and lighting in the cabin. In addition he installed, tested and connected new wiring and controls for underfloor heating in my new wet-room, installed new wiring and connected up the illuminated mirror and bathroom cabinet and supplied and fitted new low-voltage fire-rated lighting and a new extractor fan. The work was charged out exactly in accordance with the most acceptable quotation and the hourly rate was extremely reasonable. Steve has an excellent technical knowledge and provided full documentation both by post and e-mail.He was always punctual and reliable and it was a pleasure to have him working on site. I recommend him without reservation

I had a problem with a circuit-breaker tripping regularly over several months for no apparent reason (which "blew" all power and saniflo circuits) and, having employed one electrician who failed to identify a specific cause after extensive (and expensive) testing, I engaged Steve Dawes of SMD. Steve quickly identified that the circuit-breaker itself was faulty and needed to be replaced. He also told me that he could not guarantee that replacing the circuit-breaker would completely solve the problem but recommended that he should do the replacement first and undertake further (relatively costly) testing only if replacing the circuit-breaker failed to resolve the problem. He carried out the work promptly and efficiently, and his charges were very reasonable. He also phoned two weeks after the work was completed to check that the new circuit-breaker was operating satisfactorily. The new circuit breaker has functioned efficiently for the past 4 months, and there have been no further problems.

I've used Steve Daws for quite a lot of work on my house over the last two years. Ranging from a new consumer unit, installing bathroom downlighters, to checking the lighting circuit. On all occasions I have found his work to be of excellent quality and him to be trustworthy and honest. He provides estimates on a fixed price for project work or per hour for "Investigation" work. And what is more, he sticks to those estimates. Thoroughly recommended.

I used Steve based on previous recommendations on Which? Local. Although only a small job (new spotlights in a bathroom), he came round first to provide a full explanation of the work and estimate, and carried out the work professionally. Would definitely use him again.
