Consumer feedback

Generated from the text of this trader's consumer reviews

Whitton Electrical Ltd comes highly recommended for calm, thorough electrical work and “quick and clear communication” from the first enquiry to the finished job. Reviewers describe engineers as punctual, respectful and tidy—Ben in particular is praised for being “polite and respectful”, keeping customers updated, wearing shoe coverings when requested, and explaining exactly what he was doing. Customers also highlight the company’s reliability and wider support, from EICR certificates to replacing over 20 hardware devices for HMO landlords with “minimal disruption to tenants”.

What Customers Say

  • Communication and professionalism: Customers repeatedly mention “quick and clear communication” and engineers who “explained fully” what they were doing, with staff like Charlotte and Lauren keeping appointments confirmed close to the time.
  • Reliable, tidy workmanship: Work is often described as high standard and “minimal fuss and mess”, with electricians prompting on warranties and tidying wiring so it isn’t left lying around.
  • Value that lasts: Several reviews stress doing it properly once—customers valued “free in-person quote” line-by-line clarity and long-term confidence from comprehensive checks, including EICR and full property audits when needed.
  • 0 missed appointments in the past 6 months

    "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."
