What Clients Have To Say About Us…

  • 'Simon was brilliant. We lost almost all power and no idea why. Turns out a whole new fuse box was required. Simon came ASAP, started early, worked all day and was totally professional. What a life saver. A really dilligent electrician who clearly knows his stuff. His work was top notch and at a price that's right.Did a swift follow up visit too. Highly recommended.'

  • 'Simon came out at very short notice to fix my electrics and get my heating up and running after a burst pipe had caused a total electrical failure. He got there an hour and a half after he was called - keeping me informedall the way - did what I asked him to do - made a few other fixes and made sure everything was safe. Two days before Xmas when everyone else had closed or wasn't interested. He stayed as long as he needed to and made sure I was happy nd felt safe - and he only charged me £120 which was a quarter of what the emergency plumber charged for 15 minutes work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him - and would definitely ring him again next time I flood my house :) Thanks Simon.'

  • 'We’ve had Simon round multiple times since moving into our new home, and he’s done some excellent work for us indoors and out. He’s extremely neat and tidy, flexible and professional. We’ll absolutely continue to use him in the future and would recommend him to anybody looking for electrical work. Thanks Simon!'

  • 'Simon installed my Tesla charging point. A great job done efficiently, tidied after himself. The most important was the fact that the cabling was exemplary. I recommended that Simon should contact Tesla and become an approved installer so get in quick before he has to put his prices up!!!'

  • Simon has done an outstanding job of connecting our new light for the living room and installing our wall mounted TV with hidden wires. He also picked up on a faulty earth connection in the house and rectified it very quickly. Lovely guy, will definitely be using his services again!

  • Simon has carried out extensive work for us at our new home in East Hanney including installing additional electric points inside and a whole new external lighting solution in our back garden.

  • It depends of course. The best thing to do is to call us & we’ll give you a precise time.

    Emergency

    If it’s an emergency, we’ll aim to be with you within 1 hour.

    Non Emergency

    If you’re local to the Wantage area, we can usually be out on the same day if it’s not an emergency.

  • Usually it’s the RCD that trips, which means you either have a faulty appliance plugged in, or your wiring has an unstable fault. See the below FAQ for some easy steps you can do to find the source of the issue.

  • An RCD is the fuse that sits inside or next to your fusebox, which typically has a yellow test button (your RCD should be labelled).

    If your RCD is tripping, follow these steps:

    1. Turn OFF all of your fuses (switches) and your RCD in your fusebox.

    2. Turn your RCD back on.

    3. Turn each fuse on individually until one of them trips the RCD out.

    4. This will show you which fuse the fault is on. Now you can turn the rest of your fuses back on (apart from the faulty one).

      If it’s the socket fuse, unplug all appliances & turn the fuse back on. If the issue persists, it’s likely an issue with your wiring & you should call us. 

  • No, we go as far as the mains outlets, which covers the fixed wiring & any sockets, switches etc.

    Anything plugged into the sockets is typically a manufacturer’s responsibility.

    If we open the parts it’s likely to void their warranties & devalue your items.
