I have had many electrical things done in my home by Nathan and I would just like to say highly recommended. He has put in outside power point and outside light. Hung flat screen tvs on the walls and put new light into a very high hall and a new light fitting in the kitchen.

Nathan and Ed came to do a slightly unusual job, testing the electric in my mobile coffee trailer. They did a thorough job and gave me lot of information and valuable advice. They went above and beyond. Really friendly and helpful. I will be booking again for next year's test.

Had a new consumer unit installed and downlights replaced. Fantastic service from start to finish. Very neat and tidy, Ed obviously takes pride in his work. Both Nathan and Ed were really informative, we really felt like we had old friends in our home. Would 100% recommend them and will most definitely use them again on any future work we may need in the future. Lovely company

Nathan had saved my details from over two years ago which just set the precedent for another very professional, highly efficient job. Dan, my electrician was super tidy, polite and excellent in his advice, installing new lights and even making good on some plasterwork he had to remove! Nathan communicated and kept me informed every step of the way. I have more jobs lined up but certainly won't be waiting two years! Thank you so much guys...

LMR Electrical Services

Grove Green, Weavering, Maidstone ME14 5UE, UK

P: 07808 649366

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.

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.

Really fantastic experience, we found Lewis via Facebook and he responded the same evening, got the quote the following day and had him booked in for the following week. They were able to install four fixtures with ease, were very tidy, offered to add filler to marks on the ceiling and even run out to get replacement light bulbs when the ones we had bought didn't fit. Would definitely recommend their friendly and professional services.

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.

Cannot believe its taken so long for us to visit here, and we live so close. Delicious home made food, cooked and served by a very friendly group! The Lamb and Mint Morrocan pastie was delicious. The Mango and Coconut cheesecake was like eating a cloud, so light. 100% will be going back, and highly recommend.

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.

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.

Downstairs rewire, hob and shower rewire completed at residential address. The quote given was accurate, when the final invoice was received. We are very pleased with the work Ian and his team completed. They were always punctual, very tidy and clean. All the work was completed thoroughly and professionally. We would highly recommend this company and will definately be using them again.

Installed a new small fuse box in my garage and fed a supply to a new shed and a summerhouse. Really great job completed 100% as requested and within the timescales and costs quoted. Everything properly tested and even done an extra job for me in a spare 10 minutes. Great job, thoroughly recommend.

One of the best restaurants in Maidstone - delicious, authentic, home-cooked Italian food that never disappoints, and always a nice selection of specials. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is impeccable. A lovely, cosy place that we love to visit often!

La Villetta is such a lovely part of the food scene in Maidstone. It’s a cosy, independent restaurant with really flavoursome and seasonal menus. Our starters were amazing, we shared a selection of olives, burrata and polpettine and they were delicious both separately and together! It was a little slow to get our mains but my chicken was beyond flavoursome, I would even say not for the faint hearted. It was so buttery and creamy, i loved it. My husband had the mushroom gnocchi which was not as deep in flavour but still quite good. The gnocchi looked as though it came from a packet but honestly compared to the chains that are available in our area, the food here was much more homemade. We also tried one of the italian beers, Birra flea (margherita), it was so nice I’ve had a google to buy some. Its malty and savoury in flavour so goes so well with all of the food. We didn’t go for dessert but they do an afogato with baileys in it which went down a treat! The waitress was really lovely and helpful with the menu. The only odd thing is that the floor feels a bit wonky under foot! This is a really charming place to eat and the food is much fresher than anything else you’ll find in Maidstone. We will definitely return.

Really delicious authentic food, long wait times. We visited on a Saturday lunchtime when we were one of three tables. We shared the arancini and bredaola to start, and then had the ravioli and risotto for mains. Everything was super delish and good portions, shame we didn't have enough room for dessert.

The place is huge with indoor and outdoor tables and service. The food was amazing and the staff was so kind and friendly. There is plenty of garden area, it's really large. There's a playground so that you can take your kids and have a meal, a beer, and let them play while you enjoy the place. There's also some events there such as bingo and karaoke. The only negative point is the toilets, they're a bit neglected (old). The area where this place is located is so peaceful too. Worth the visit!

Visited the Redstart as a party of 8 yesterday evening, for the first time in years. What a great gastro pub! Lively, friendly, decent value, and, not surprisingly, packed! Good choice of traditional pub food on the menu, so something for everyone. We'll be back, recommended.

This place is great for lunch the food is always cooked well and there is a good variety on the menu and well priced. We had the burger and the chicken sizzler with noodles. Really tasty, will be going back again. We did book as it does get busy especially at the weekends, during the summer they have a big garden that you can sit out in. Lovely place worth a visit.

It’s surprising how good pub food can be. The RedStart exemplifies this. Walk inside and it looks like a standard looking sociable drinking space. Sit down, look at the specials board, you begin to realise there is something special about this place. Yes it does prepare the traditional British dishes. The RedStart goes one step further and throws in European dishes into the mix. When these dishes arrive they ooze quality. Presentation, piquant and professional. These were some of the best tasting dishes I have sampled at a pub in Kent. For 3 courses I had change from £30, unbelievable given the standard of food. European pub food at it’s best.

Lovely place good for a meal with the fellas, lovely atmosphere, only have two issues. 1. Chips are slightly overcooked but still are delicious. 2. The playlist needs a little more reggae

Nice breakfast, I opted for a set breakfast of sausage, two rashers of bacon, chips, beans, toast and a fried egg along with a can of drink for £9.00. Some of the chips were a little overcooked/crunchy but the rest of the breakfast was nice. They operate a loyalty scheme of a free meal once you have collected 8 stamps from paid meals, they have the same offer regarding drinks too. They have customer toilets which were clean and in decent condition. If you found this review helpful please click on the heart icon, thanks.

Super happy with with the cctv and burglar alarm systems Kent Fused Electrical installed in house. I can check the house and who’s at the door from my phone as well. Tom gave me a great price with the quote and really went out of his way to make sure the systems he installed were what I needed for my situation.

Delicious vegan burger! I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu. The service was quick and served with a smile from the guys in the kitchen :) the food was 10/10 - we also tried the habanero mayo and smokey bbq sauce to have with our fries and they were both amazing. I love the seating area and layout; It's great receiving a delicious gourmet style tasty burger - but receive it quick and easy to eat in a takeaway box style. Can't fault the notorious BRG and will definitely be back soon and recommending to friends.
