Excellent work from Electrical Innovations installing a Tesla Powerwall 3 to my existing solar panels. The panels had never been connected before and the solar panels had an issue that was previously unknown to me. Electrical Innovations found the problem which was caused by a different, unrelated company a few months back and fixed it, going over and above to ensure the kit was all working before they left. Very friendly and professional service, would recommend

I had Electrical Innovations out for a house alarm service. House alarm was beyond economical repair. I was given various options, went for the wireless system, provided with a quote and accepted. They turned up when they said they would, performed the job to the highest standard, took old alarm away and all the packaging from the new alarm. I was kept updated with arrival times via text message. Brad the technician cleaned up after himself, no mess was left. We were very impressed with the service provided. Once the alarm was installed, Brad went through everything with me, explained the settings and set up the app on our phones. Fantastic service, you get what you pay for. You won't be disappointed. Highly recommended. Well done Electrical Innovations, very pleased with the service. Very refreshing in this day and age. Thank you.

Fantastic work carried out by Stu, Frazer, Louis and the team. Solar Panels installed, nest thermostat, ring doorbell and a few other bits around the house. I cannot fault the standard of work and the professionalism and mannerism from all the guys was a stand out. Would definitely reccomend and will be using these guys for any future work needed. Thank you to the whole team

Ben is a top guy who is multi-skilled and has great attention to detail. Easy to chat to and felt at ease that he did things thoroughly in our new build annexe (blinds, doors, windowsills, trim etc). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again. See you soon!

Ben did some painting and maintenance work for us in March. Excellent standard of work, very professional and worked hard. Never moaned when we kept asking for extra jobs to be done and very competitive on price. Thank you Ben

Rating: 5 / 5

Ben was an absolute star from start to finish. Punctual and honest from the beginning. My job presented more issues than when he first started. Didn't phase him, just went to get more materials and carried on. He didn't make any money on the materials and used his trade discount as well. I would highly recommend Ben, I'll be sure to use him again for anything i need doing in the house. Thank you Ben :)

Ben has advised on and completed two projects for me now while I've been renovating my house. I now have a lovely kitchen and bathroom all thanks to Ben and his hard work, craftsmanship and friendly but professional approach. He always goes the extra mile, his charges are fair, he gives advice on products, recommends where to get stuff from and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

From start to finish Lee has been, friendly, helpful & communicative throughout. His standard of work is high, he really cares about doing a good job & that the customer is satisfied. He sorted out the fencing in my garden & I couldn't be happier with the result. I was very happy with the price too. I have already booked him for a refurb in my Utility room & I am sure that there will be more work to come. A very satisfied customer.

We have used Good2Go Property Services several times now and found Lee to be very professional, courteous and polite. His workmanship is excellent and his approach to tasks well considered. He is honest! if he is uncomfortable with something he will flag it up straight away. Also and a big positive he arrives on the date and time agreed. I would not hesitate to recommend Lee to others.

Lee has just completed a package of work for me on a rental property including Painting throughout, new bath panel, resealing the bath/shower, new sink waste, boxing in some pipework and replacing the banister. Lee turned up when he said he would and kept me updated with regular progress updates. Using Lee has saved me a lot of time and hassle by not having to get multiple trades in - I gave him the list, he gave me a price, and he got on with it. I will definitely use Lee again and would highly recommend him.

I am extremely happy with the quality of work done by James/Derbyshire Electrical for my solar panel installation. James was really professional and his customer service is second to none. I highly recommend James/Derbyshire Electricals for all your Electrical works.

I went through HyperVolt's website to look for approved installers and was connected to James who did a remote survey and explained everything involved with fitting an EV charger on a video call. James was attentive and listened to my concerns of making sure the installation was neat as I'll be looking at it every single day. Unfortunately, one of James' staff had an emergency on the day of the installation so we had to postpone. James made me aware as soon as he could and offered to come and complete the job at the weekend. I was in no rush as my EV was still on order so I suggested we do the following week instead as I don't like working weekends either! Jason did an excellent job at making the install look neat and answered any stupid questions I had along the way. Jason showed me how to use the HyperVolt app and made sure all the settings were configured correctly. Thanks James & Jason for doing a superb job at a reasonable price.

Like others I was connected to James through Hypervolt. Can honestly say James was quick to respond, dealt with a small issue with the case really well (Hypervolt supplied a unit with a label that couldn’t be removed and a small scratch). I’d have no hesitation recommending James.

James and team installed solar panels, an EV charger, a domestic hot water heating system, and a solar battery system for me last year. They were totally professional and extremely helpful… and really nice guys to boot! 😊 James did all the design and calculations to specify a system for me which has proved to be ideal - it operates at pretty much optimum for my particular circumstances and property. My property has 3-phase electrics and I didn't want the battery inside the house, so James spent time with me assessing both my needs and concerns and didn't just try to install a 'standard' or 'simple' system for me as some other firms wanted to do simply because it was easier for them. I thought the price James quoted was really competitive and I am very happy with the results. I'd recommend them to anyone, although I try not to in case they're too busy with other work if I need them to do some more work for me 😉 After all, if you all used them too I might have to wait a long time for them to have any availability for me! Obviously I'm just kidding - if you want an excellent, extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and professional team then you can't do any better than Derbyshire Electrical Services Ltd.

Probably the most efficient and polite tradesperson I have met. Very punctual, honest and hard working with fair treatment, understanding and pricing. We have used Matthew multiple times and have referred him on serval occasions to receive thanks from those we referred him to. Shame there’s not much lore like him.

Matt has done work in our house twice now and I would highly recommend him to everyone! He was on time, very professional, polite, friendly, great with kids and a really hard worker. I left him in the house alone while I went shopping and I was 100% comfortable with that. I’m already thinking of other jobs so we can get him back to help out :-)

Bobby-man-can maintenance has done a lot of work for us. We are DIY disasters and find that whenever we ask for a quote, there is never a job too big or too small. Everything has been carried out to a high standard. One of the largest jobs to be carried out was the insulation and boarding out of our entire loft. Bobby-man-can maintenance is trusted and reliable. We have always found his quotes very competitive. Would not hesitate to recommend and would use time and again.

I have used for several jobs on my rental property. Life saver on many occasions and helps both on small and large jobs. The latest being a roof replacement. Fantastic, helpful, timely and excellent quality. I have no hesitation to recommend

I am compelled to share my excellent experience with Robert the Handyman. He was recently able to fit numerous fittings for our baby's bedroom and put together a toy at short notice, working well after hours with precision, care, and timeliness. We had been struggling to find a handyman who was available to fit the fittings for our baby's bedroom, as it was a relatively small job and most handymen were booked up weeks in advance. We were also keen to have the fittings fitted as soon as possible, as we were expecting our baby to arrive any day. Robert was able to come to our house the very next day, even though it was after hours. He worked quickly and efficiently, and fitted all of the fittings perfectly. He also put together a toy for our baby that we had been struggling to assemble. Robert was very professional and friendly, and he went above and beyond to help us. He is a highly skilled handyman, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Here are some specific things that I appreciated about Robert's service: He was available at short notice, even though it was after hours. He worked quickly and efficiently, but also took the time to do a good job. He was very professional and friendly. He went above and beyond to help us, by assembling a toy for our baby that we had been struggling to assemble. I would definitely recommend Robert the Handyman to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional handyman.

Would highly recommend Rob to anyone as he can turn his hand to many things and is trustworthy and reliable. Recently had my loft insulated and boarded and there was minimal disruption or mess. Rob reused the old boards where possible to keep the cost down and has also repaired a hole in the ceiling. Thanks to Rob and Charlie for their hard work.

We had a leak in the roof after some heavy rainfall. Spoke to Andy about a roof repair. They were able to fit me in very quickly and the quote was very reasonable. Very happy with service, will definitely use in the future should anything else need doing. Thanks, Sarah and Stuart

After being let down by another builder we decided to contact Melbourne Property Services and so glad we did. From the initial visit to price up, everybody turned up when they said they would, until the job was finished. The lads they were very courteous and respectful. We are very pleased with our new block paved driveway and fencing and we would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I was looking for a new plastic Cupola Vent for the stables but Andy at Melbourne Property Services said that I wouldn't be pleased with a plastic one but to go for a bespoke wooden one, which I did. They have just completed the job and it looks amazing. Andy arranged for the cupola to be made, scaffolding erected and the cupola to be fitted and finished with a lead top and painted in white. Andy's fitter, Dan, was a true craftsman with meticulous attention to detail when fitting it into the roof. This is the 2nd project they have done for my family, both excellent. Can highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

I am very happy with the work that was completed by Andy’s team. My garden and balcony are now complete. Both Dan and Evan were absolutely fantastic throughout, they are both very professional and respectful and I enjoyed them being at the house. I will be using Melbourne builders again for my next project, I recommend them to everyone. Thanks so much.

So pleased that we found Lucky. Very professional from the start. He always kept his appointment times and assisted with the design of the bathroom.

Lucky and Son fitted a 17ft (5m by 3m) by 10ft metal garage which required bolting to the ground. Also, the garage assembly required 100s of screws to be fitted. They provided a professional quality service, fitting the garage exceptionally, preceded by a quick prompt honest transparent quote. All this was carried out with humility and character. Thank you for your service, and l highly recommend to anyone. Lucky and Son care about the quality of the work.
