Yup, the good reviews are on point. Gavin & his team did a full rewire of my house, and every aspect of working with him was A1. Starting with a detailed and fair quote; he made great suggestions that I hadn't thought of; the works, and communications were done well and on time; he was flexible to changes in my plans....generally speaking, he has a great attitude, so all-in-all I could relax and trust that the job was in good hands.

Always been delighted with the work from Dorset Electrical. Our house isn't easy at times, with lathe and plaster walls Mark, our regular electrician has always managed to find a way to do the job neatly and in good time.

I have used Gavin and his team for some outside lighting installation on an Aircraft Hangar at Bournemouth Airport which I am very satisfied with. Dorset Electrical are an excellent choice for industrial electrical installation requirements. From start to finish very professional and safe at all times and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

I’ve lived in Sherborne for almost 3 years and tried this place for the first time the other day.. how did I not know about it sooner?! Delicious coffee and sausage rolls and excellent, friendly service! Will be becoming a regular!! ☺️

Jewel of a coffee spot in Sherborne. My macchiato was brewed to perfection. Awesome atmosphere and vibe.

Rating: 5 / 5

The best coffee house in Sherborne….maybe the whole of Dorset. G and Alex are wonderful blokes who are chatty, friendly and really know their coffee. I’ve never had a bad cup and have been coming back for more for three years. The vibes are immaculate too and this cafe is dog and child friendly making it the perfect place to relax and catch up with friends or even make new ones. Highly recommend!

1:1 barista course - 10/10 I purchased an espresso machine and grinder a year ago (La Pavoni). After many inconsistent coffees ‘and getting to know my machine’ my wife arranged the barista course for my birthday. The course teaches you the basic art of how to make coffee and how to adjust the flavour. You would think a coffee shop teaching people how to make coffee is counterintuitive, but I think this is a true reflection of their cause - to educate and have everyone drinking great coffee! Thanks Alex. You have bettered our daily rituals! If you enjoy making coffee at home, I highly recommend booking in. D

Lovely electricians, managed to squeeze me in last minute after I was let down by another local company. I needed the lights and the extractor fan in my new teeny downstairs toilet to be connected before building regs could be signed off, and it was done the very next day with no fuss. They also added new sockets to my utility room as I couldn't use the washing machine and dishwasher at the same time with the old ones that were already in place, as the lights all tripped. The guys were clean and tidied up after themselves. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again when the next stage of renovations start. Thanks

Rob has done a number of awkward works for us over the last year. He's a great communicator, and went above and beyond to create solutions for some tricky issues with our G2 listed property, which others couldn't figure out. He's always on time, cleans up at end of day, professional, and checks with us if he's found a better, or better value, alternative for the work we had in mind. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Really pleased with the work that RN Stephenson has done for us including board checks, new outdoor lights and sockets, new light fittings inside and a callout when our fusebox went one evening. Rob and his team are extremely professional and trustworthy and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any work. Already got my name on the list for solar panels! Thanks Rob.

Whilst I was away on holiday I rang Ricky Stubbs (owner/ partner) he not only arranged the work to be done, he was there unbelievably quick and turned up when he said and completed the work to an excellent standard. The client even told me of her gratitude and was very glad to have the issues sorted so promptly. I will be using Chris Stubbs and son again for sure. Very reliable and friendly.

During a recent storm, I had a full power outage. Ricky responded quickly and came out to fix the problem. He was professional and nothing was too much trouble despite it being late on a Saturday night. I cannot recommend him and the company enough.
