We lost power after the RCD tripped and couldn't reset. We do not have a preferred electrician to call on so tried WKD from the Which Traders list. Kiernan & his colleague were with us within 3 hours and had us up and running within 20 minutes. A return visit was required due to the faulty RCD which led to investigations of the kitchen circuit and resolution of the issue. The electricians were polite, well informed and happy to answer any questions. In these situations when you have to call out an emergency service it can be a lottery but really happy with WKD. Great service and reasonable cost for the work carried out. Thank you.

We had various electrical jobs around the house, some big, some small. Kiernan came out, checked them all and gave me a few options how to deal with each. He was very patient and responsive to our queries while my flatmates and I decided on everything. His team finished the work quickly and efficiently and we are very happy with the result.

I called regarding a problem with my immersion heater where the top element wasn’t working. I was informed that he could deal with the problem if it was electrical but if the element needed replacing then the tank would need to be drained and that would require a plumber. I asked if he could take a look anyway and he came within the hour. The problem was sorted quickly and without needing a plumber. I used WKD for the first time a few years ago when the lights in my house wouldn’t come on and they were excellent, arriving promptly and getting things working again. I would recommend this company.

Kiernan took out over 30 halogens and their transformers and replaced them with LEDs. Despite some problems with the existing cabling, and having to fetch different bulbs when the wrong ones were delivered, he finished the work in good time and kept to the - very reasonable - price he'd quoted me. He was friendly and helpful, and made sure to explain everything he was doing. I'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.

Kiernan, Vince & Reza did an amazing job - rewiring the house whilst we are living here, with minimal disruption to our routine. Their approach was very intelligent, helpful and unobtrusive - and they always looked for routes for their cables that minimised disruption and mess. A couple of other quotes we had basically said we had to move out for a couple of weeks to make their lives easier!

Kieran responded immediately to my message and offered to do the job very soon after, attending with his colleague Rezard. They did all of the jobs to an excellent, professional standard - fitting new ceiling lights, fixing broken connections, and fitting a sensor light outside front door. Kieran even went to Wickes with me when I had chosen the wrong light, and he could not have been more helpful. Other positives were very fair pricing and the team tidying up after themselves. I will definitely be using WKD again, and will recommend them to friends.

Phoned Kiernan Tuesday afternoon - he came next day lunchtime, swiftly diagnosed the problem (ancient light fittings) - went off to buy new ones, came back and fitted them swiftly and carefully so no damage to ceiling paint. Excellent job, so helpful, very nice and we will never go elsewhere. We were delighted and a pleasure to have him in the house.

I used WKD for various electrical jobs in our flat. We had a problem with our lights tripping out - Kiernan and Vincent worked with us to sort the problem and avoided a major rewire. Also fitted new lights very neatly, and a new main fuseboard and complete test. All the work was done to a high standard and at reasonable cost. Kiernan kept us fully updated at all stages. Highly recommended and would definitely use again.

Kiernan Day of WKD Electrical Specialists is the type of electrician we had hoped existed but despaired of ever finding. He was always prompt, kept us informed of progress with parts-ordering, and best of all was able to solve an annoying LED lights' issues in the cupboards. We highly recommend him.

Kierran responded within hours of my calling and sent a quote within 24 hours. We needed sockets raised, switches changed, a light moved and ceiling lights installed. He and his team came each day on time and they did a good job. They made good where they could. There were a few more jokes which needed to be filled in the bathroom then expected. The while jib however seems to have been done well.

Kiernan and colleagues have come twice this year, first to replace a socket behind the tumbler dryer, and then again to install a ceiling light in a new place. He has been prompt and reliable in estimating and coming to do the work; efficient and tidy in doing it; and reasonable in his price. Highly recommended.

Contacted WKD electrical on a Saturday afternoon, had a response by Sunday morning, a quote by Tuesday and the job done by Wednesday. And that's because I wasn't available before then. WKD had to install and move ceiling lights in my bathroom and he covered my bathtub with a dust sheet so that I had no cleaning up to do afterwards. I felt I was being advised very well about the sagging ceiling and even though the job turned out not to be straight forward, the contractor found an efficient solution at no extra cost. I am very pleased with the result and will use the same company for future jobs.

Our cooker stopped working all of a sudden and we contacted WKD Electrical to investigate and find the cause for it. It turned out that there was a power cut somewhere on the cable connecting the cooker with the fuse box, due to a leak caused by a broken pipe under a cupboard in the kitchen. Fixing the pipe involves dismantling the cupboard, but we needed a quick and lasting fix, to enable us to use the cooker in the meantime. Since the cable was wired through the ceiling and walls, the best and easiest option was to make a brand new connection between the cooker and the fuse box. The cable was rewired on the ground floor, under the stairs and through the downstairs toilet into the kitchen. Kieran installed a new double socket inside the cupboard to connect the cooker and another double socket on the other side of the cooker, to connect the dishwasher and the lights, replacing the old sockets. Despite tricky working conditions, Kieran and his colleague Alan managed to do a very tidy job, encasing the cable all the way between the fuse box and the socket. He is NICEIC registered, which was important to us, to make sure health and safety regulations were followed. We would strongly recommend WKD Electrical for their professionalism, neat work, tidiness, reasonable price and overall attitude.
