Found Lewis based on very positive feedback on facebook. I had a relatively small, non- urgent (but important to us) job, namely replacing an old, broken security light over my drive. He responded quickly and we were able to agree a convenient time. He arrived in good time, did the job for the ( very reasonable) pre-agreed price. Can’t see anything he could have done better, so a very satisfied customer and will definitely call LMR first for any future electrical work.

Lewis is an extremely professional individual who is knowledgeable and efficient in his work. I have used him on multiple occasions and would recommend him to anyone. We used him to rewire room by room and he was more than happy to work to our timeline. Thanks so much for your support, help and expertise.

We have struggled so much in finding a reliable electrician and are so pleased to have found LMR. We have used LMR services twice in the past month and highly recommend using them. Lewis responds straight away to any questions and once booked in, is very knowledgable, punctual, friendly, polite, clean and tidy. We will most definitely be using them again.Thank you Lewis for all your hard work.

Contacted Richard to install electrical supply 240v and 110v) in my wood shop. He really knows his trade and did such a great job I used him for two further major electrical installs. Thoughtful, interactive and top quality in all he does. Can’t recommend him too highly.

Rating: 5 / 5

Richard attended very promptly to resolve an "emergency" issue where my RCD kept switching everything off. Subsequently he came back and tidied up my garden electrics which were the root cause of the problem as well as changing my outside lighting. Prompt and efficient and pleased with the result.

Rating: 5 / 5

We contacted Richard firstly to complete a electrical survey on the house we were purchasing and then again to carry out the works which included a full rewire, installation of a new fire alarm system, removal of old/obsolete wiring, alarm systems and more. Can't recommend him highly enough, he had a team working on the weekend to help get us into our new home faster. We expected to have to do a lot of clean up once they had finished so we're pleasantly surprised to find they had cleaned up and left virtually no remedial works for us to do. He was in constant contact throughout. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Downstairs rewire, hob and shower rewire completed at residential address. The quote given was accurate, when the final invoice was received.

We would highly recommend this company and will definately be using them again.

Ian provided his availability and prices in advance, observed all H&S requirements and made good wall and cleaned up after installing a new socket. Would highly recommend.

We booked Ian (ETE Electrical) to carry out a survey of our building wiring, as he was from a local business. From quotation to completion of work, the service was first class. Ian attended site when stated, completed the work as agreed and left the premises very clean and tidy. He was professional and trustworthy. He made the whole process very easy to understand and explained what work he was going to carry out for us. We have now arrange for Ian to return every six months to maintain our fire alarm system, which is a comfort to know, as he clearly cares about the service he provides to his customers. We would 100% recommend anyone using ETE for their electrical requirements.

Ian undertook the job of replacing the original wiring in my 1960s rental property. He was helpful, honest and informative from the first consultation, confirming and explaining the necessity of the work due to the poor insulation readings and age of the wiring, advising on the number and appropriate placement of sockets and switches, and highlighting the possible problems and potential extra costs that might occur during the job. He was punctual and easy to communicate with throughout and contacted me immediately to discuss any issues. Ian was fantastic at working round the couple of problems that arose, and was able to find solutions without saddling me with extra costs! When the job was completed he cleared up thoroughly. Ian is always my first port of call for any electrical work I might need. I trust his expertise and honesty and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Thank you Voltage Electrical Services Ltd. Voltage Electrical Services were prompt in assessing and arranging solutions on a cosmetic and electrical fault in our garage. On the day of the works we received a text in the morning stating an approximate time of arrival. Darren the electrician arrived presenting himself in a calm and professional manner, he was very helpful and knowledgeable taking time to ask questions about our specific requirements, custom design and providing a completion timescale. The work was carried out to a high standard and completed within the day as scheduled. We are so pleased with the results. Thank you Darren and Voltage Electrical!

Darren is a very personable and friendly man. I have used him to do numerous jobs, over the past few years, adding and changing sockets, changing and fitting most of our ceiling lights, fitting external sensor floodlights, fitting all of our external Ring security and also adding new external weather-proof sockets. I think on nearly every occasion I have been shocked by the cost, always expecting the work to cost more than Darren charges! Darren always responds to request messages quickly, is relatively quick to book you in, always keeps his appointment and is never late. I have recommended him to friends and neighbours on a few occasions and the feedback is always very positive. Call him, book him, use him, you won't be disappointed.

Would highly recommend excellent service very polite and very tidy with his work.

Brilliant! Darren stopped our house going up in flames so what more can I say 😂 Darren is a walking encyclopaedia of electrical knowledge and governance but explains everything in an easy to understand way. Was clear from the get-go on pricing, answers queries promptly, turns up when he says he going to and is honest. Work was completed quickly and efficiently, looking forward to him coming back to complete the other work we have that needs doing. I generally don’t feel comfortable around people due to social anxieties, but Darren is great be be around and loves dogs, so that’s all good in my book 😂

Contacted Secure Elec to help fix an electric gate problem. Fast and responsive and just the best quality customer service. A real pleasure to have Christian then come out within hours to diagnose and repair the issue. Gates now working AAA+++. Turns out he tackles electrical problems of all sorts from new installs to repairs. Definitely now on my Go to list of service providers.

We have been using Christian for all our electrical repairs, installations and certifications for over 5 years now. He is always responsive, on time and 100% reliable as well as being priced very reasonably. His work is always of a high standard. Vikki runs the admin side of the business very efficiently. I would highly recommend Secure Elec. to anyone looking for a local reliable electrician.

Rating: 5 / 5

Christian and Vikki really are great, and we would highly recommend them. They replaced our consumer unit and installed a number of lights and sockets for us, both internally and externally. They were quick to respond to our enquiry and come to quote for the work, reworked things to get the work completed for us before Xmas, and sent across the certificate once the work was completed. We'll certainly be using them again whenever we need more electrical work done!

Excellent Service provided by Paul, we have been going through some major building works which included a 2nd level extension plus loft conversion. Paul has upgraded our fuse board to support the additional lighting we required, house fully rewired and much more. The quality of the work was very high and always cleaned up after a days work. Highly recommend

I spent some time researching consumer units, as I wanted the job done once to last for years to come. I spoke to two electricians, and decided to go with PN Electrical as they use one of the best brands of consumer unit (All I have found is amazing reviews for the Fusebox boards) and they carry out all the testing required. Paul and his colleague were super friendly, with excellent communication throughout and the job was completed quickly, without any hassle/fuss and looks incredibly neat. Everything works a treat, and they are genuinely lovely people. Certificates issued the following day along with an invoice for the exact amount quoted. If you're looking for low hassle, friendly and reliable electricians, look no further. I will definitely be coming back in the future for any work required and would have no hesitation recommending PN Electrical to anyone. Thanks alot.

This company came to me recommended. I needed a new fuse board and car charging point. Paul took time to explain the products he used and invited me to review the equipment he would fit before agreeing to anything. He fitted me in at short notice and completed the work in a day. he actually stayed into the early evening to ensure i was up and running at no additional cost. he returned a week later to ensure everything was working correctly. He helped me get the apps up and running as well. All certificates of work supplied for future reference. I would definitely recommend this company. Clean efficient tidy work with a real personal touch that you don't often get these days.

Rating: 5 / 5

We moved to Maidstone and needed a number of bits of electrical work doing. Having looked online, I could see a lot of local recommendations for Paul. We booked in with him and everything was easy and straight forward. Everything done professionally and at a decent price. Would recommend him to anyone. And have used him again since.
