Had an EV charger installed at home this morning. The work done was of the highest standard and Steve took me through everything that was needed to ensure I got the best from my charger. Left my garage tidier than it’s been for a while and really was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Any other electrical works we need and Steve will be the only persons we will call.

Steve responded promptly to my online enquiry and gave me a quote for the job over the phone. He moved sockets and added new ones in my garage. He did a good job at a fair price and I have already recommended him to my family.

Excellent all round!
I contacted Steve due to having no hot water. He said he would try to get to me that afternoon and he did! He quickly assessed what was wrong and fixed it. He also re-set the timings on the unit itself so the water is heated up in 4 hours as opposed to 7 which will save me money on my energy bills over the long term. He was punctual, friendly and informative. How refreshing to get a Tradesman you can trust and to be verified by Which? gives you extra peace of mind that he will do a job well. I would recommend Steve without hesitation.

Steve is a very friendly and competent electrician. In the past he re-wired our house and I was impressed at how neatly the job was done. Whenever a tradesperson would come round to the house, they would comment on how well the old cables had been chased! Most recently, a joiner accidentally nailed through an electrical cable for our bathroom light, and Steve was out within 24 hours to fix the problem. He explained all the different options for fixing it, and discussed with us first, before doing another great job. If you’re looking for a great electrician that you can trust, look no further. I would highly recommend Wells Elec.

Steve is extremely helpful, efficient and skilled. He did a virtual re-wire of the property with no fuss and relatively little disruption. He is reliable, very courteous and pleasant, communicates well and went the extra mile to help us. We would certainly use him again and we would definitely recommend him to anyone else that needed electrical work doing. Thank you!

Excellent from start to finish. Efficient and did a great job. Did a partial rewire on a house purchase. Quoted then quoted again as wanted more work doing then Steve didn't mind when we then added extras and changed our minds. Thanks for answering countless questions and phone calls. For explaining everything. Started the job earlier when the completion date changed. Always answered the phone and any questions. The quote and work was detailed and accurate. Very neat and tidy and even came back a day later then the light fitting wasn't where we wanted it. Thanks for your patience and time. Thanks for everything, would definitely recommend and will be asking you to do further work for an alarm and outside electrics. Faultless. Made the whole process easy. Approachable and friendly. Great workmanship. Thanks for your patience.

Contacted Steve to carry out landlord electrical safety checks on a rental property. He got back to me within minutes and arranged a suitable date with my tenant. Additional work was needed and again this was arranged by Steve with my tenant making the process very easy for myself. Work carried out and invoiced as per quotes, safety certificate emailed over straightaway too for my records - will definitely be using again. Reliable and friendly service. Tenant also very pleased with the work carried out and with Steve too so highly recommend.

Steve was recommended to me by someone he used to work with - recommended as excellent. Steve has been excellent at communicating with us, he’s friendly, punctual and did exactly what we asked of him - he also threw in a spare light for us! Reasonably priced, too. We will be calling on him again for any electrical needs we have, and would recommend him to friends and family.

Fitting Outdoor Lighting, CCTV & Doorbell

This was the second time we've used Wellselec & the service was just as good as the first job. We wanted a CCTV system installing as well as outdoor lighting & hardwiring of a doorbell. A thoroughly professional job all round, tidied any mess made & was conscientious in his work, taking the time to demo both the CCTV system and the mobile app that can be used to control the outdoor lights. A first class job all round, and we'd certainly recommend.

We needed our outdated electric fuse box updating to a new modern consumer unit with circuit breakers instead of fuses. Steve was polite, offered advice, and explained not only what he was planning on doing, but also why. We had a quote within 24 hours of his visit and the work was completed on time, as promised, to a very high standard with no residual mess. Competitively priced too. I would not hesitate to recommend and will be using him again for further work.

I’ve hired Steve twice after he was recommended by my handyman. He’s fitted outdoor security lighting. Professional guy who worked quickly, charged what he’d quoted for. I also liked that he sent an invoice and could do bank transfer payment, instead of cash. Bit of a wait as he’s very busy, but would definitely use again.

We needed a new cooker switch in order to comply with modern regs. We contacted Steve because he is A Which Trusted Trader and local. When Steve came to assess the job he pointed out that as we had 1966 wiring and a fuse box he might discover unexpected problems if he just set about the work. We could either take that chance or have an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) done first. We decided we wanted the EICR which he did and then clearly and simply explained his findings to us. He recommended rewiring as the old wiring, although still safe is at the end of its life. However he did not pressurise us at all but did suggest a way of resolving the immediate problem so that we could safely install a much needed replacement cooker. He installed a modern RCB board and ran the new cooker cable from that and installed the cooker switch at the required safe distance. He also replaced understairs lighting on a new wire as the existing one turned out not to be earthed, and he very neating put in a new double switch on the kitchen tiles plus trunking so no retiling is needed. Before leaving he walked through the house explaining exactly what rewiring would involve and the best and worst case scenarios for mess and disruption. Again no pressure just clear, friendly, understandable information. We are both pensioners and somewhat daunted by the thought of a rewire but when we are ready to go ahead we will return to Steve. We are very happy to recommend him to new customers.

Steve has installed an EV Charger, in readiness for the EV I have ordered. I contacted him originally following a search on Which Trusted Trader and he responded quickly. He came to survey the site and talk to me about the options, before providing a quote that I accepted. He gave me his timescales and stuck to them, although I asked him to delay a week, which he was happy to do. The work was completed quickly, with minimal hassle and Steve kept me updated regarding progress. I also asked Steve to look at the power to my greenhouse, which had stopped working. He identified the probable cause, which will require some additional work and I hope to engage him to come back to complete that soon. I have no hesitation in recommending Steve to anyone who is looking for an experienced and reliable electrician.

I had an MCB trip switch in my fuse box which wouldn't reset, leaving us without power in the kitchen. I had tripped the switch deliberately so I could replace a power socket top, but couldn't get the switch to reset afterwards. Steve was recommended through a friend, and after a brief discussion we fixed a time for him to come. He came at the agreed time. He found the root of the problem - the trip switch itself - very quickly, and was able to replace the MCB with a compatible spare. I would recommend Steve to anyone needing a reliable and friendly electrician!

Wellselec have just installed a car charging point for us. Ste was helpful and informative from the start and dealt with the application and paperwork. He kept us informed throughout the process, turning up when he said he would, completing the work in the timescales given and tidying up. Couldn't ask for more and will definitely use Wellselc again.

Work on new home

We had used Wellselec before, first at our old home to replace an damaged and old fuse box and then to check the electrics at our new home. Both were done to a high standard. This job involved replacing the fuse box, bringing the earthing of the water and gas up to a modern standard, putting in sockets for an electric oven and hob, reconnecting a socket and putting an additional socket in the kitchen. The fuse box was installed neatly and the cables were tidy compared to the cat’s cradle before. He vacuumed up as he went along, kept the place clean and put everything back. He was unhappy about the aesthetics of one solution to putting in an earth cable to the gas meter however between us a new route was put in place which was inconspicuous. He was more than helpful and we would use him again. The work was done to schedule and budget.

It's always tricky finding decent tradesmen, but Steve was recommended by a friend and it was reassuring that he was on Which? Trusted Traders. The job included replacing the consumer box, installing several data sockets and replacing all accessories (faceplates). Steve visited our house and gave a written quotation by email. The work was completed to a high standard and he cleaned up well. I noticed he brings his own vacuum cleaner and also protected our new carpet with masking tape and cloths. Good communication throughout (phone + WhatsApp) and a friendly guy to boot. We've already used him again for a smaller task.

I made contact with Steve some weeks ago and then life happened and I’d been a bit flaky with contact. Steve was patient, helpful and professional. I had ordered items independently and some had not arrived but Steve happily did another job for me whilst he was here which was appreciated.
