    "The Electrician sent by Whitton Electrical was a life saver. He fixed a botched job by a previous electrician and fixed the problem in 1/3 of the time the previous electrician was there (who couldn't find the problem). He was polite, friendly and kept me updated with his progress. I would definitely recommend Whitton to anyone needing an electrician and would definitely use them again if I ever need to use an electrician again in the future."

    "After years of having cowboy electricians come and just do patchups and charge extortionately, I was beyond fed up. We had a serious electrical fault in the wiring that had plagued us for years. I contacted Whitton Electrical who promptly sent someone to fix it. They then insisted that I needed a full electrical audit of the property which revealed serious wiring flaws. This then led to a brilliant solution, tidying up bad patchup jobs and pretty much getting the system back up and running efficiently and without having to rewire the entire house. I have since then had them come back for redoing the electrics in a new shed and for changing some fittings over. With Whitton you really do get what you pay for and what you pay for is a job that only needs to be done once. I can't reccomend them highly enough."
