Dave Watton Electrical Ltd

P: 01725 557404

We engaged Dave after he supplied a full quote detailing all aspects of the job. Dave asked sensible questions and made suggestions we had not considered which improved the overall design. Dave has a calm manner, works methodically and is happy to discuss the works. He communicates well and turns up when he says he will. Dave is exceptionally tidy as he works and his attention to detail and safety reassured us that the quality of electrics he has put in place is excellent. We wouldn't hesitate to use Dave again or recommend to others.

No hot water two days before a big wedding. Dave was able to come out the same day and fix the problem. Excellent service. Highly recommended.

I was introduced to Dave via a recommendation and wouldn’t hesitate to pass that recommendation on. Dave is very polite and considerate and his work is clean and efficient. Customer service is very important to him. Thank you Dave for bailing me out.

We are very pleased with the work that Dave has done for us. We originally hired Dave's father to redo our driveway and asked Pete Watton the question did he know a good electrician. He recommended his son and as a result we invited Dave to quote. Since hiring Dave, to install our driveway lights, he has carried out various pieces of work for us, all having been done to a high standard.

I visited with my daughter yesterday....this is my new favourite coffee shop! It's small but very cute. We both had French toast with berries and maple syrup, it was lovely. Lovely staff, super friendly. Dog friendly too 🐾 Will definitely return.

I am so glad that this place exists in Ringwood! It has such a fresh energy. Coffee beans 5 stars. Food 5 stars. The store feeling 5 stars. Staff 100 stars. It is such a nice place to have a quiet moment and do some work (there is free strong wifi) or meet up with a friend. I cannot wait to make this my regular place when I am down here. A beautiful and lovely small business that needs more recognition. The food is exceptional and homemade and one of the big selling points for me.

I love the casual, friendly atmosphere where food & coffee are affordable & great quality. Delicious homebaked cakes, savoury pastries, & the best sausage rolls in town are a real treat. Gluten-free options are also available. Frankie & Teresa are always welcoming & friendly. I love the colourful side salads & the variety of ciabatta fillings available. Mums, solos & couples enjoy meeting up, pet lovers are clearly at home bringing their dogs along & enjoy the attention they get. Love the warm atmosphere created by the community who are regulars.

Lovely little place, I had the vegan bagel which was super tasty and fresh, and an oat milk latte which was top tier, the customer service was great and I loved the local atmosphere and all the little dogs in there, I picked a good place to stop on my journey, well worth it! Big car park right by it where you can park in too if you’re just grabbing a take away like me.

We recently purchased a house which needed an inspection, and a few fixes. Steve and Matt have been fantastic throughout the whole process. Their prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality of the work done, and always friendly and helpful. Very responsive, got back to us way before any other companies did, and when we had our inspection done, Steve went through it with us over the phone and explained what it all meant which was really appreciated. Would highly recommend!

Delighted with work done by Steve and Matt, changing out our old fuse box and carrying out other electrical installation work. Felt like we were in very safe hands, professional, friendly and great at explaining technical issues. Will definitely use again, thanks guys.

Steve and Matt came recommended to me from a work mate who had them do some work for him. I contacted them and said I just bought a house and a new re-wire was a must. A full install and new fuse board were put in, all new sockets and switches etc, all done to a great spec, minimal disruption to the rest of the house, exactly how I wanted everything. Plus they were easy to deal with and speak to throughout the whole job. I recommend them to anyone and everyone now, very happy indeed :)

We commissioned Charlton to come and wire in our new summerhouse. From start to finish where Paul came and surveyed the work to when Chris came out and conducted the job "in what I would say were very hot conditions" the whole process was effortless and a joy to have them do the work. Thank you all of you at Charlton. Any future works we will come to you first. A1 Service and trustworthy to even leave to work alone without supervision. They even leave the property as they found it. Highly Recomended

Great ambience, amazing little courtyard, but for me it’s the coffee that brings me back. It’s exceptional, and a real treat to have a 2 different espresso options and 3 different light roasts for filters. And prices are lower than almost everywhere else in town even though the quality of the coffee is so much higher.

We visited Salisbury for the day and went here after reading recommendations from other Google reviewers. We weren't disappointed. Delicious cake and coffee, tea in a china teapot and dogs very welcome. Our dog Hank really enjoyed the complementary puppycino :) This cafe is tucked away down the side streets (not in the centre of Salisbury) and has a lovely outdoor space, especially on a sunny day.

What a gorgeous coffee shop, hidden away on a residential road we didn’t expect to turn the corner and find such a gem. So quirky with beautiful art everywhere. If you can get a spot on the sofa by the fire you’ve done well as it’s quite chilly upstairs. Flat white was the best I’ve had in months and would drive back to Salisbury just to have another. Rocky Road also fabulous and our bill was less than expected so all in all amazing - just a bit chilly.

In The Yard we found what we were looking for... a very comfortable, introvert-friendly quiet coffee shop that could offer us a good coffee and a dessert that's not overly sugary, but absolutely full of love and sweetness. The familiar atmosphere of the clean and spacious place is amazing and modest, we really appreciated the silence and energy, uncontaminated by mainstream loud pop music or rude strangers. The service was more than perfect, we felt respected and free to cut our own private space inside. I highly recommend this place for calm people that want to relax after lunch, alone or with their own beloved people, just drinking a hot drink with something sweet or spending more time reading or working remotely for a few minutes. If we'll come back to Salisbury, we'll definitely come back here.

I booked an afternoon tea for 8 of us for a 50th birthday treat. Communication before the day was very good and the actual afternoon tea was amazing, very fresh with a great variety of sandwickes and cakes. The team went above and beyond to ensure we were all very well looked after, bringing us extra sandwiches and tea! I would highly recommend this lovely cafe overlooking the river for afternoon tea.

A beautiful relaxed setting tucked down the side of the Mill with a gorgeous river that created a great atmosphere. Tasty cakes and amazing sausage rolls! Well worth a visit. We will definitely return.

This is a little gem of a place! We sat outside in the sun and ordered several items off the menu. The team were all charming and helpful and the food was fast and tasty. The farmers plate, shakshuka and brioche breakfast buns were all fabulous. The smoothies were perfectly balanced - not too sweet and the cakes are 10/10. Our new fave spot! Be sure to get there before the kitchen closes at 3!

Outstanding experience. Super scrumptious food, excellent service, perfect atmosphere and really stylish. Homemade hummus (part of the mezze plate) was great and the pork and apple sausage roll (part of the farmers platter) was on another level. Truly wonderful. What more can one say? If you're in the area go and visit, you won't be disappointed.

I was delighted with the quality of service provided. James helped connect a new electric towel heater and install an external socket at my home. Great job, very thorough and efficient. You wouldn’t have even known he was here afterwards - super clean and tidy. Would highly recommend and definitely use again for any electrical work!

James is a rare find. He's great at his job and he cares more about it being done well than you do. Cheerful, diligent, ever so reliable, really good at explaining and advising plus fair fees mean we always go to James.

I had an issue with my electric sockets in my house which happened over night and I was having an issue to find the cause/source for the problem. After long day at work it was challenge to get some one to come around to fix. I "googled" found this SES LTD. When called spoken to Jonathan who patiently listened to my story and explanation of events and what I tried so far. He kindly gave me some further guidance and advice what else to try and after 2 more calls over the next 20 min we found the cause. Jonathan does not know me and I didn't know him, however he treated me like he is just a friend who would happily to help out when needed. He didn't even ask for money. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
