I have used Antonio on numerous occasions, most recently to rewire my house and add new outdoor electrical outlets for security cameras and lighting. It was a large job due to its complexity and the need to add consumer units to different parts of the property. Antonio's price was very competitive, but most importantly he was professional, polite and flexible. My frequent mind changes did not phase him at all, and he did not show any annoyance (I would not have been so accomodating). His workmanship and knowledge was top notch, likely from his teaching background. I have included a picture of how neat his wiring was for a consumer unit installation. If you are looking for a professional and dependable electrician, I could not reccommend Antonio highly enough.

Our friends recommended Antonio to us. Antonio is extremely professional and reliable. He has academic and professional knowledge in his field. He plans his work in detail and always offers best solution. He leaves the work place spotlessly clean. He offers competitive prices. We have used Antonio’s services 4 times now and we have recommended his services to our neighbours and friends. We cannot thank Antonio enough. Amazing guy! Excellent work ethics! Excellent standards of work! Highly recommend!

Antonio came recommended by a colleague, its not hard to see why. He is always on time, nothing is too much and charges very reasonable rates. There are several jobs that need to be done throughout the house but the first job he did was to replace our switchboard. The work is to a very high standard, he leaves things clean and tidy when he is done. It's very hard these days to find a reliable craftsman and I am very pleased to have come across Antonio. Don't look further if you are looking for a very skilled and punctual electrician who is a top guy to boot!

Antonio did a great job doing the electrics in my flat, he is easy to get on with and someone you can trust. He has brought the electrics up to date at a price I was more than happy with. I would highly recommend Antonio and if I need an electrician in the future I would definitely use him again.

Joe came out straightaway to replace the shower isolation switch & was his usual brilliant, friendly self. We go to him for all our electrical work which is completed to the highest standards.

Highly Recommended Joe and Lewis installed new circuits for our kitchen recently, including various lighting solutions, plus a new consumer unit and an EV charger. They are highly professional, punctual, tidy, arrive when they say they are going to and nothing is too much trouble. I like the fact that Joe has a can-do attitude and rather than just taking the easy route he works with you to develop your own ideas, suggesting alternatives to consider and helps to save costs where possible. I will definitely be using Parker Electrical for any future requirements.

Could not have been more impressed with CSPM, doing a job restoring power to my 80yr old Mum's flat. They came at short notice (within an hr or so of getting a call) worked hard, worked late into the evening to get everything resolved, were really good with my Mum and were incredibly reasonable - don't hesitate to use these guys

I used EV Connect to install a Simpson & Partners EV charger. The quote was competitively priced, and Ryan was able to undertake the install within 2 weeks of booking - which is great in the current market. The installation looks great and was completed in under 3 hours. Ryan tidied up before departing, and also gave me a good run-through of the Simpson & Partners app, as well as taking me through the work that had been done. Recommended.

Easee One EV point install. I’d shopped about before I emailed Ryan. Ryan was polite and his communication via email was always brilliant. He came to my home and quoted my wife who had no prior knowledge of this. Ryan explained everything to great detail about the install. My wife was happy. Install came at a date and time convenient to ourselves. Very neat work and again he explained everything to wife on the day. Ryan contacted myself via email as well. I’ll will highly recommend EV Connect SE ltd. I’m really happy with every step. Thank you Ryan

Where do I start! The most friendly welcome, a cute little bar area for pre dinner drinks, and then an outstanding 3 course dinner served by a brilliant waiter Amit. The flavor’s in the food were exceptional and the portions were really decent! Mark Sergeant was very present throughout the evening, bringing out some of the dishes, asking us our thoughts, and making us laugh. What was really refreshing was not being kicked off your table 2 hrs after arriving. In fact, we were still eating at gone 10pm having arrived at 19:30! There were perfect gaps in between each course. This really is a little gem of a restaurant where they have got everything spot on. Tierney who was serving up fabulous drinks was also incredibly friendly and helpful in getting us transport back to the station. Thank you! We will definitely be back 😊

My Bestest Brother from another Mother treated us to lunch at MS Brasserie. Everything was absolutely deliciously outstanding. Our waiter sharing exquisite detail about the menu & chef Mark explaining the abundance of love and creativity that goes into each dish derived from all local produce. A lunch fit for Kings & Queens. One of the best food lunches I’ve ever had. Special place set on the delightful Folkestone sea front. Thank you 🙏 so much for a wonderful afternoon Paul Briggs.

I have used Relay at 5 different properties - varying roles, from running electrics round the garden for lighting and hot tubs, full re wires and then changing lights and moving sockets and switches. They always turn up when they say they are normally with a Text message reminder sent the day before arrival ,nothing is any hassle ( even if the plans / design change our end ) and all always polite and professional. I never hesitate to pass on their details to friends and family and everyone has the same view! I have dealt with alot of electricians in my time and these guys can do the lot. Also good in ‘urgent’ cases for my tenanted properties - they can always juggle something to get someone back on supply or to fix a fault So I will always recommend Relay to anyone

This was our first visit to this Cafe and we were pleased with the service and food. The menu is varied and we were spoilt for choice. The prices are reasonable and we enjoyed our meal. The place was very clean and the atmosphere was relaxing and we did not have to wait long for our food. There are toilets available. We certainly will visit again soon.

Wow! What a wonderful first experience we had! 2 adults, 3 teenagers and 1 small. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Meze was AMAZING and great value. Service was top class, friendly, knowledgeable, polite and attentive. We went for a special occasion and felt we were really treated as such. Thank you for making my 45th birthday memorable for all of us. Oh and the Cherry crush cocktail, LUSH. Only 1 photo as we were too busy having a great time.

We booked a table for the 3 course £19.95 lunchtime menu after reading many positive reviews and we are so glad that we did. We had Brie and tempura prawns to start followed by liver with bacon and moussaka, finishing with chocolate fondue and biscoff cheesecake. Everything that we had was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The wine was well chilled and reasonably priced. All the staff were efficient and friendly and the service was attentive but not intrusive, just as it should be. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Friendly family run restaurant. Great food quick service. Only 3 stars for atmosphere because near the end of our meal at a table of 7 ladies. They seated 15 people next to us on one long, put together tables. The noise they made with seating then talking meant we couldn't hear ourselves talking. Fortunately we were chucked off the tables we were on to seat another party.

Marley's is amazing. I have been here a couple of times with friends and family and I have never been disappointed. Both times I have been here have been for breakfast. The first time I had their version of a fry up and the second time I had pancakes. The fry up was amazing. Really nice sausages and eggs and it was all locally sourced. The pancakes were peanut butter and strawberry. The peanut butter was made at Marleys and I did ask if I could buy some. The price is fair as well and very good value as they make some of the food and buy locally. If you are coming for the pancakes it's worth knowing that they change the topping week to week so look at their Instagram.

🤩 Took a trip from Margate especially to revisit Marleys. Their service is fantastic and food is just delicious ! Excellent prices for the quality of the food you are getting. So much cheaper than Margate cafes 💰 🐶🛑 NOTE: the cafe js NOT dog friendly if you want to eat a meal (u can have a coffee at the front) so you have to leave your furry friend at home!

We were lucky to get a table for early dinner and were not disappointed. The smashed burger was delicious and the service was fantastic and friendly. Food was hot and we hardly waited ten minutes. Great that it’s not overpriced and they don’t automatically add service charge to your bill. We shall definitely return soon. give the overpriced harbour arm a miss and visit this gem

Lovely meal, great service. The sharing platter for starters was really nice. For mains, I would highly recommend the pork belly or the steak. Went for an anniversary meal and every staff member to came to the table wished us a happy anniversary and had a little personal note on the table it was a nice touch 😊
