I was having some shelves made. I popped out and when I returned the carpenter frantically advised me that all of the downstairs sockets had stopped working. This included the kitchen, with a fridge full of food. I rang P.N Gray at 15:00. I left a message and Michael returned my call immediately. He said that he would send Stewart McIntyre. Stewart arrived quickly. Within 15 minutes he had established what the problem was. He repaired it instantly, restoring power to the kitchen before the milk had even started to get warm. I cannot begin to say how excellent P. N. Gray is. This is the second time that they have responded quickly to my electrical problems - the previous incident was related to a faulty smoke alarm sensor. Michael is cordial and responsive, and Stewart was efficient and professional. He was even thoughtful of the carpenter's embarrassment. I would highly recommend P.N Gray for your electrical needs.

Stu and Kevin were brilliant. The work wasn't easy but they completed everything even though it took more than one visit! Everything was professional, neat and tidy. Can't fault the work. Would recommend the company to everyone. They went above and beyond. Very good value as well!

On each occasion that I contacted this company, someone got back to me on the same day that I left a message. When an appointment was made, the electrician turned up on time and did a professional job. All the people I dealt with were friendly and helpful

Fables and food has a lovely atmosphere, it is happy and Homely, has incredible food and amazing service. I had the French toast and it came out so well presented and tasted just as good as it looked! This cafe is like no other I’ve been to before as it has such a South African vibe, from the food to the decor! They even sell fresh eggs, cakes and fresh bread. Could not recommend enough!

Rating: 5 / 5

An absolutely brilliant cafe with delicious fresh food, friendly staff and very reasonable prices! The South African cuisine was one I had not tried before, but it was presented brilliantly to me with the wide array of inventive yet authentic dishes on offer. The coffee was also brilliant and the cakes were delicious.

Tom and Steve fitted an EV charging point. A pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable company to deal with. Very professionally fitted at the agreed price with no mess or drama. Would have no hesitation in recommending or employing them again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Thank you Tom for your excellent communication, great understanding, patience and of course top class tidy, efficient work. We 100% recommend ToWRs services and will be in touch with future projects.

Rating: 5 / 5

TWR was recommended to me by a friend who had previously had a great experience with work they’d carried out. I was not disappointed. Tom and his team were polite and professional at all times. They fitted a EV charger to the outside of my property. I’m so pleased with the tidy finish, it looks great. I would most definitely use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Rating: 5 / 5

Really professional and knowledgeable at a reasonable price. We had an idea which unit we wanted but pros and cons were discussed which instilled confidence in us using TWR. Installed in a time effective manner. Highly recommend

I cant recommend TGM electrical enough. They have done a fantastic job wiring up my garden office previously and have used them again today to move a double socket. They are always punctual , friendly and tidy. No job is to great or to small form them. Highly recommended .

Recommended from a friend to carry out an electrical safety check on our new flat, the company were courteous, efficient, on time and corrected a few not very obvious out of regulation fitments. All carried out in the same visit and the certification followed quickly from the office. Highly recommended.

I rang this Company on Weds.27th March 24, due to having only 2 of 6 Halogen spotlights working in my kitchen for the past few months. All a bit dark! Coral assured me of having help quickly, with Matthew arriving promptly the next morning in absolutely dreadful weather. He checked the wiring, which was working and suggested changing to LED bulbs, giving me the option of staying with Halogen. I chose to change, and Matthew then offered to go and buy them. He was quite quick, and set about replacing the bulbs. I was amazed at his efficiency, as some of the fittings were tight. Once done, he offered to change the attic non-working bulb as well. This whole procedure was done without fuss or bother, and Matthew was polite, professional and personable throughout. My kitchen now resembles the Bahamas... and is amazing...Thank you so much for a super duper job and workman. M.H.W.

I recently had an electrical issue at my home and reached out to Entrust Electrics for assistance. I couldn't have been more impressed with the promptness and professionalism of their service. From the moment I contacted them, they were incredibly responsive, they scheduled a visit at a time that suited me, and they arrived promptly, wasting no time in diagnosing and fixing the problem. They conducted themselves with the utmost courtesy and expertise, explaining the issue in simple terms and outlining the solution clearly. Overall, I cannot recommend Entrust Electrics highly enough. Thank you, for your outstanding service!

Very happy with the standard of work Chris carried out. We had a new fuse box put in, sockets installed and a fault with our shower isolator remedied; all done efficiently and very neatly. Chris was professional, honest and got on with the job at hand. Competitively priced and wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again. Nice one!

Rating: 5 / 5

I cannot recommend Chris at Entrust enough. His knowledge is A1. His ideas and designs have the perfect balance to meet practical as well as aesthetic requirements. He is a very friendly and personable chap. He is very aware he is working in your home and we felt very comfortable leaving him to work independently and trusted him with keys to our property. His work standard is A1 as is his efficiency. His pricing matched his quotes and he went above and beyond in every way to make sure we were 100% happy with every aspect of his work. He was very tidy, always using dust sheets and vacuuming up after every visit. You wouldn't have known he'd even been here. We will never use anyone else. Do use Chris, you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 / 5

Chris is very efficient, quickly understood the jobs that needed to be done and completed them excellently. I would definitely recommend him to other potential customers.

We had our car charger fitted by the owner of the company, John. I have to say it is not often I have work done and can find no fault with it, but the installation is excellent. It is a very neat job and John was very courteous and professional and I will certainly look to use him again whether at home or for business.

Rating: 5 / 5

John and Paul provided a competitive price for a number of jobs for me. Their professionalism is second to none. WEBA have installed outside and inside lights, sockets, connections for treatment plants and installed an electric car charger. They are very clean and tidy contractors I would highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Really good communication from start to finish and a quick, tidy installation. Most impressed by the fact that from initial enquiry, to installed charger was less than a week! Would highly recommend...

John did a great job installing my new electric car charge point. Very professional and neat in his working and so can happily recommend. Very impressed.

The best meal I have had in a very long time. Every mouthful was a joy - delightful different flavour combinations with exceptional standard of fresh products. You could tell a lot of thought and love went into every course. Favourites were the pea and cod croustade, the mackerel tartar with pickled elderflower and the jam doughnuts were a gorgeous zingy bomb that took me right back to childhood puddings! We had a fab waiter who really entertained us and made the whole experience more special and personalised. I would recommend to anyone who wants to try super fresh, seasonal seafood showing off what the sea around us has to offer. I haven't stopped talking about this place.

Rating: 5 / 5

Outstanding!!!! From arrival to departure we were looked after. All the staff are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable about each course and the wine. We will be returning! My only feedback was that I felt the restaurant was cold. However, it has high ceilings and is open plan! I imagine heating isn't easy and expensive! So I'll take a shawl next time it's not a problem.

Rating: 5 / 5

Amazing dining experience and the staffs was very friendly and knowledgeable about each course. The food taste as good as they look. Would highly recommend.

Catch Weymouth WOW! WOW! WOW! What an experience!! We were very lucky to get a table at CATCH Weymouth  on september 11th and I completely messed up the times. We were meant to dine at 6pm and have the 4 course tasting menu and turned up at 6.45 by mistake. The host was so understanding and got us a table for 7pm with the 6 course evening tasting menu and we were so very grateful. This was one of those once in a lifetime opportunities where you experience a true culinary experience at a level unsurpassed.  Chef Mike Naidoo and his BOH team created a tasting menu beyond belief. Each course was delivered by the FOH team and then Mike would attend the table and give a full description how the dish was created and all the elements of cooking and ingredients. This for us, along with having our taste buds taken to on a journey of discovery and delight, to have chef at our table was the most amazing part of the evening,  to have such a highly esteemed and much respected chef spend time with us. Thank you chef for the most amazing and educational evening and for introducing us to the highest levels of culinary excellence Huge thank you hugs Andy and Miles

An absolute wonderful experience. Excellent service throughout the meal.. Food was first class, tasty, plentiful. Homemade Baklava so delicious. Restaurant is not overcrowded and has a lovely feeling about the place. You could well be in Turkey itself for a few hours. Wonderful New year's eve. Thank you

We walked in earlier this evening as a table of 5 and we had the best time. We had a platter for two to share and it was just amazing. Fussy 5 year old has now decided calamari but be one of her new favourite things. Didn’t get a picture of the dessert as it didn’t last long but it was just as good as the food which couldn’t be faulted. Our waitress Lillie was great. I’ve already booked again for a big group on my birthday, we had a great night, great food and really good service, think it goes without saying that we will be back
