Diagnosed the problem in minutes, went out of his way to source the right part from a specific distributor, very calmly fitted the new part. Robert is the sort of person that gives you confidence. Highly recommended

Rob and his colleagues Arthur and Niko gave us an excellent service. Our house needed rewiring from scratch. As we had a tight budget to stick to, we discussed the estimate beforehand with Rob, and he gave us good advice about things that we could cut out to keep the cost down, but more importantly what was useful to keep -- although we've only been in the house a short time this has proved valuable. Arthur was extremely hard working and completed the work on time and to a good finish. Very pleased with their service.

Rob and Jack did an electrical condition report for me when I was purchasing my place. There were issues identified so I subsequently instructed them to rectify to get to a good standard. They were friendly, competent and approachable and I won't hesitate to use them again or to recommend to others.

Robert is a very professional, reasonable and knowledgeable electrician. He consolidated our existing fuse boxes into a new consumer unit. He also centralised three ceiling lights in our bedrooms (which a previous owner had moved close to the windows). Robert did an excellent job - he was tidy, and went above and beyond by making good the old light holes. We recommend Robert and his work to anyone in need of electrical services.

I had a small electrical job that needed to be done, but I couldn’t be at the property to provide access. Collin went above and beyond by picking up the keys from the local letting agent and completing the work promptly. He charged a fair price, was reliable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or use his services again.

I needed someone to replace a faulty 4 gang dimmer switch. Colin is an excellent communicator, arrived exactly when he said he would and completed the job without any fuss. It’s so nice to find someone local who you can trust and who charges a fair rate. Thanks Colin. Much appreciated.

Contacted Colin regarding fuse box tripping and loss of electricity to kitchen appliances. Problem was identified in a timely manner. Colin also returned for a separate issue and did not charge for this. I appreciated Colin’s punctuality, professionalism and expertise. Will use his services again going forward.

Colin arrived in 10 mins after I phoned CNC Electrical in what might be the fastest call out of all time! The power had gone out in part of our flat (kitchen and utility) so I decided to call CNC Electrical after researching and reading the positive reviews about the company online. It was a tricky job, as investigation work was required to locate the source of the problem as the fuseboard had not been tripped by the power cut. Colin discovered there was power going into a switch but none going out - so he replaced the switch. I found Colin friendly, and the work professional in terms of standard, safety and efficiency. I liked how Colin explained exactly what he was doing and was transparent at all times. Thank you!

THE BEST PUB IN LONDON. Or UK! As a family we’ve been coming here for about 20 years. It’s amazing. Traditional Irish music night every week. No food done by the house but a great pizza truck etc outside and they don’t mind you bringing food in. They have Tayto crisps, all the bar staff have ties and Corn and team are lovely. It doesn’t change even if it’s becoming trendy. A proper pub.

Rating: 5 / 5

Very very nice pub. Cosy. Very good Guinness Pizza van outside on Fridays (van dough) is nice too. Outdoor seating is heated and covered in winter.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great pub interior, traditional decor, wood panelling with interesting artwork/trinkets/memorabilia. Shows sport and has a good sized outdoor area. They put effort into their hanging baskets. The staff in short sleeve shirts and ties is a touch

🚇 Catford 🍺 £5.80 Guinness One of the Best Pubs in London. The Blythe Hill Tavern is located in South East London on the border between Catford and Forest Hill. The nearest station is Catford, it’s a ten minute walk to get here. The pub was built in the mid 19th century and started life as The Blythe Hill Hotel. This is three room pub with a public bar on the corner, a saloon to the left and a large room running across the back of the pub. The decor here is outstanding, so much so that it has been Grade II listed by Historic England. The walls are clad in dark wood panelling which originate from the 1920’s. Around the walls are a treasure trove of old signs, posters and mirrors relating to Irish writers, Irish brews and sporting pursuits. Other features include exposed beams, fireplaces that roar in winter, traditional seating and to top in off, a proper pub carpet. At the rear of the pub is a large beer garden that blooms in the summer. The beer lineup was great, there was a decent selection of four revolving cask ales, familiar favourites and of course Guinness. I ordered a pint of St Jame’s Gates finest, my pint was excellent and pleasingly cost less than six quid. There is food available here by way of @vandough pizzas. They serve up 10” pizzas which all cost in and around a tenner. Check their socials for timings. My brother and I arrived bang on opening at met Con the Guv’nor who was warm and welcoming. After ordering our pints we ended up having a great chat with Con about Ireland and London pubs in the 70’s and 80’s and the many characters that ran them. We were also chatting about The Arsenal as we are both fans and visiting Highbury and the pubs around there back in the day, what a lovely fella. The pub hosts Quiz Nights, Live Music, Live Premier League and Rugby. The @blythehilltavern is a Multi award winning pub which is traditional, welcoming, quirky and authentic. This is one of the best pubs I’ve visited, I loved everything about this place and Con the Guv’nor is an absolute diamond. If you have London pub to visit list, put this one at the top. ℹ️ Info correct 17.02.24

Talon took on the complete redesign of our kitchen and dining room electrics and a total redesign and installation of the lighting. He also rewired, earthed and made safe the electrics in other areas of the house. Throughout the work has been of the highest standard, professionally done, communication has been perfect. Talon and Chris are always punctual, friendly, tidy and efficient. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Rating: 5 / 5

I don't think I can write a review that matches just how brilliant a service Talon at 1 Eleven Electrical provided, he was helpful, and very professional. I can honestly recommend this service completely. The work was above and beyond from the initial communication, viewing the work and providing a quote to fitting me in promptly, arriving on time and in just 1 day converting my spotlights to trendy pendant drop lighting. All to an extremely high standard. He was very tidy and vacuumed up straight away as each light was fitted. My house was cleaner than at the beginning plus I now have very cool, ambient lighting! I will definitely go back to 1 Eleven Electrical if ever I require further work.

Rating: 5 / 5

I can highly recommend this company after recent work done on our communal block of flats. We employed Talon to replace 6 ceiling lights in our Victorian property communal areas with 4 hanging pendants and 2 wall-lights. Talon identified and corrected previous work to fit the emergency lights that was not up to current codes and performed the yearly emergency lighting check. Talon is extremely professional, his timekeeping is impeccable and he left our property clean and free of debris. If you are looking for a hassle free, reliable electrical installation then this is the company for you. The lights look amazing as well 🤩

Rating: 5 / 5

Talon provided an amazing service over several months of a renovation, doing a full rewire at our property. He did a great job, at a really fair and competitive price. He was always really flexible, helpful, and a great communicator. Thanks Talon.

THE best Indian restaurants in the area! Perfect place for a night out dinner or a special occasion celebration. Food was absolutely delicious! We had a chance to meet the owners who were the most kind and friendly. We’ll definitely come back. 😊 Highly recommend!!!

“Interestingly Indian” is the perfect description for the experience of eating at Riwaz. There is so much love, care and attention that goes into the food and the service at Riwaz. A wonderful family run business, they have very quickly become our favourite food place in the area. We finally had this as a takeout this week and even as a takeout the food is incredible. Firm starter favourites for us are cashew crusted prawns and chicken biryani arancini balls. The prawns are beautifully cooked and spiced with an excellent crunchy crust. Like the arancini balls, lovely crisp outside with a superb flavour and texture inside. We are not vegetarians but our all time favourite dish here so far is the Riwaz Dal Makhani. Lentils that have been cooked for hours. I’ve never eaten lentils that tasty and the spicy, rich texture of the sauce has made this a staple of our dining experience. A surprising favourite for me was the butter chicken. It is not something that I would order normally. But trusting the advice of the owners, they always give great advice on the food and helped us make great choices. With such a variety of dishes, and all so different and delicious. I honestly will not be eating anywhere else for a while! We want to try as many more as we can! Extra compliments must go to the team there. For the design of the restaurant, to the love and attention paid to this excellent menu. It makes such a huge and wonderful difference to be THIS excited about what we are going to try next. This is always helped by the service, which is always so kind and helpful. We look forward to going each and every time and cannot wait to come back again. Thanks Riwaz Team!

If you’re looking for the best Indian and Nepalese cuisine in town, this restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed warmly by the owner, a lovely lady who ensures every guest has a wonderful experience. The starters were a delightful mix of flavors and textures, highly recommend the cashew-crusted prawns, chicken and lamb momo, papdi chat, and chicken biryani arancini. Each dish was beautifully crafted and bursting with authentic taste. For the mains, the Kashmiri Rogan Josh, butter chicken, and lamb biryani stood out as some of the best we’ve ever had. Pair them with the garlic and Peshwari naan. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to make our visit special. We can’t wait to come back and try more of their incredible menu. This place is truly a must-visit!

Delicious food, came with my Dad for first time as we wanted a curry and this place was open and close by. Exceeded expectations, beautifully cooked and quality ingredients. Friendly staff. We were very early dining today, think prob more atmosphere later. I like how the delivery drivers don’t come in through restaurant and are politely asked to go to another door - these days it can be such a mood killer at other restaurants with door constantly opening and feeling more like a take away than a restaurant. We ordered Punjabi butter chicken curry, lamb shashlick, peshwari and garlic naan and muttar paneer. Plenty for two.

Leigh did a great job on installing a network cabinet / access points / cctv and associated cabling over two days in our new house. Leigh also came back and wall mounted a big tv for us. Flexible and has some great ideas...recommended

Rating: 5 / 5

Leigh is a very pleasant guy. He came on time, analysed all the many issues and quoted and supplied a quote quickly. He was flexible on when work was carried out and executed it to a high standard and cleaned up after himself. He knows his stuff and is proud to stay up to date on new systems. Replaced kitchen ceiling spots, plus bedroom and bathroom spots. Fitted new porch light and most importantly completely rewired the heating and immersion set up, which was completely wrong (hot water only running off immersion instead of boiler) just that bit will pay half his bill off in

Rating: 5 / 5

Leigh answered my call straight away on a Saturday evening , he was prepared to come straight away to help .We decided to leave it until after the weekend. He arrived promptly and was direct and reassuring ,obviously having a great knowledge and understanding of electrics, especially in an old building with lots of dodgy wiring! I have complete trust in what he recommended. He kept things simple . All quieries were replied to promptly and efficiently and quotes were reasonable. He worked to get the problem sorted , no matter how long it took . I really recommend Torque electrical Ltd.

Quick, efficient, reliable service. We have used this service for our both of our restaurants as well as for domestic support. Always done a great job. We will continue to call Lee whenever we need a sparky! Definitely recommend.

Kadrien was so very helpful. I called him yesterday about a query and he was extremely helpful and responsive. He came over at his earliest opportunity (within a couple of hours) and provided some very helpful advice and information. Thank you so much!

Kelvin managed to fix our electrics the same day for a very reasonable price, much better than going to a big provider. Would definitely recommend!

Rating: 5 / 5

Kelvin was super quick to get back to me after initial contact. He then fitted me in within a week, turned up on time...early even! He was very professional, friendly and super reasonable. Would definitely recommend and use again. So good to find a reliable tradesman.

Rating: 5 / 5

Fantastic service, highly recommended! I had an emergency with one socket continuing to trip the whole kitchen just before going away for the weekend, called Kadrien Electrical at a really unsociable time and he was there within an hour. Work was completed quickly, professionally and tidily - and without the ridiculous call-out charge quoted by others I'd contacted. Such a nice chap too! I'll be using him for any electrical work going forward!

Contacted them to change my fuse box and get a customer unit installed. They were thorough, on time and tidy. No hassles what so ever. Worth saving their number on your phone!

Very happy with the services from Contact Electrican. They were fair with the cost of their work, and we found them to be professional throughout. Thank you to both Klisi and John, as they were quick to resolve our issues and considerate of any concerns we had. We would highly recommend their services.

Rating: 5 / 5

Klisi was extremely helpful. He was able to attend to complete the job within 24 hours of contacting him, he kept us informed of his ETA, he was polite and did a very good job (installing two light fittings) and offered to hoover the small amount of dust caused. Would definitely recommend him and hope to use his services again in future.

Rating: 5 / 5

Highly recommend if you are looking for an electrician! We have built an extension and the team did an amazing job with it all. Great communication, proposed ideas, on time, fair prices and great to work with!

Just had Troy fit a new oven at my mother's house and he was very professional, courteous and responsive. Had to do a little bit of fiddling to get the unit in but it was no issues for him. Happy to recommend to anyone.

I’ve used Nyatec a few times for various jobs and have always been really happy with the outcome. They are extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable and have always answered my questions with patience. I won’t hesitate to use Nyatec again in the future and would 100% recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

It was a pleasure having Troy and team over at our new flat to fit electric radiators. They were very responsive, and made space in their schedule to fit the radiators earlier to save us from the very cold week. I will recommend Nyatec to everyone - they are professional, great on price and deliver to the best quality.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great service! Troy was friendly and professional. He made time to fit us in at short notice which we really appreciated. He explained what he was doing and was tidy and organised.
