    "Mark is our local go to electrician. He is friendly, trustworthy and offers a good service. He replaced light fittings and a dodgy dimmer swich in the lounge and inspected the house wiring before replacing out of date wall sockets throughout before fitting a new fuse board. He has also installed a ring doorbell and outdoor security cameras. His charges are very reasonable and he does not hesitate to return if needed."

    Alex Virrels - Image 1 "Had A New Fuse Board, new Gas and water bonding, replaced a few cracked sockets and outdated light pendants. Plus tightened up connections in sockets, installed a new bathroom rated light plus extra works of installing a new circuit for the new oven. Mark was brilliant with his work and showed myle things I would never of seen or thought about. Definitely would use again and recommend."
