Lime Electrical (Greg) installed an airconditioning system for a rental flat. The team were very clean and tidy, responded promptly to queries, and came when they said they would. The work was carried out to a high standard, and advice given was appropriate. The tenants are thrilled with the energy efficiency of the installation especially for the heating, so everyone is very happy. I would use Lime Electrical again.

Greg and Sam did a fabulous job with fitting the electrics in our full kitchen/diner refurb. The team were friendly, hand working and most importantly, reliable. After their hard work was complete, they cleaned up after themselves and left the house spotless. Thank you!!

I highly recommend Lime Electrical. We had a short notice callout and Greg made himself available on a busy day to help us with our urgent electrical issue. He was extremely diligent and efficient completing the job in less than an hour. Thanks again Greg!

John did a complete house rewire for me a few years back and more recently has done smaller jobs. Last job was a couple of months ago when he moved a light switch for me. Always honest and reliable, John does a good tidy job for a fair price. Would recommend to anyone.

John did a brilliant job sorting out power to our garage and shed and put up an outside light. Neat, tidy and reasonably priced. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

John provided a friendly, professional service to install various lighting in my home. Very neat and tidy job, happy customer.

Rating: 5 / 5

We needed some sockets and lighting fitted outside and decided to do some research on local electricians. We found John's website simple and easy to get in contact. I initially described the job to John over the phone and he managed to give me a rough quote immediately with a follow up site inspection the very next day. John then attended a week later and completed the installation. I was very impressed with Johns methodical, attention to detail and professional work ethic ensuring the job was completed to the highest standard. It was clear John took pride in his work ensuring wiring etc were neat and discreet. John was also reasonably priced. Would highly recommend for a trusted electrician. Will definitely use John again and recommend to others.

A lovely, hellenic (Greek) café in the heart of Guildford! Dimitris and Nikos are so friendly, kind and treat you like their friend! I ordered a fresco espresso, which is actually what is called FREDDO ESPRESSO, in Hellas (Greece). Tasteful! They also offered me two pieces of greek bougatsa🇬🇷❤️ In store, you can find many traditional products like "petit four", "bougatsa", cakes, etc, but also ice cream for dogs! 🐕 Totally recommend it! Have fun x

This is the only cafe I go to during the week. It’s not too far from my office but if it was closer, I would be getting coffee in the afternoon too. Staff work so hard here and I really love the food. Traditional pastries, savoury and sweet but also fresh paninis if I don’t fancy a pastry. I put a 4 star for food, not because of quality, but because I think salads would be a nice addition to the menu. No where in Guildford does it so it could be a big win! Wouldn’t even have to be hugely gourmet ones. And maybe smaller pieces of bougatsa as an option too next to large portions like the kataifi but that’s a minor thing. Thank you for all the nice convos while waiting for food and making everyone feel so welcome. If the food wasn’t so good I might’ve had time to take more photos. Also let me use my travel mugs :) Efcharisto!

One of the best cafe. Such a great service. I been given full info about what sort of cold cafe they do, how they do etc. On the top I have tasted some traditional Greek pastries. Yummy. Truly recommend this place. The service make it most and the café...top. Just to add - popped in 05.11... disappointed

Mike was quick to reply to my initial query, and came out within a couple of days. The work was completed well. Would recommend and will use again

Mickey is very good. Friendly, efficient, reliable... we would have no hesitation in engaging him again.

Rating: 5 / 5

The room I have my home office in was lacking in power sockets and in general needed to real do over. Micky came and had a look and help me plan out a custom room to meet my needs. Micky was brilliant in advising not just the electrics required, but also the design of the room and lighting options. Once work began Micky was super reliable and he worked really hard to get all the electrical work done ready for plastering, he was then back after to final fit everything and the results have blown my mind, it’s gone from a room I hated to a room I adore. The pictures say a 1000 words but I just have to say non of this would have happened if it was not for Micky and his can do attitude, what a legend. I strongly recommend Hone electrics, absolutely brilliant. Thanks Micky!

Rating: 5 / 5

I can positively recommend Mike Hone. Not only is he good at what he does, he is very pleasant and helpful. His charges are reasonable and I will certainly continue using his services.

Brilliant coffee shop. Such a big choice of food alternatives for allergies and intolerance.

Really nice cafe. Dog friendly, reasonably priced and service is always friendly. The coffee is very good as are the sweet treats! We’ll be regular visitors!

Rating: 5 / 5

Best coffee in Guildford, friendly service and an array of cakes that are all fresh and delicious. Child and dog friendly. They also do breakfast and lunches, take away if you like. This place is so good it can get quite busy. It is also popular with young mums and their children, but this only adds to the vibrant atmosphere.

Great work from Mark. Clearly a very conscientious guy who enjoys his work. Pleasure to deal with and very understanding of our busy schedules. Mark was excellent at solutioning the problems I gave him and well versed in the latest gadgets (I love them). Highly recommend Mark and a good bloke to go with it. Use with confidence.

Rating: 5 / 5

Was recommended Mark at Home Electrics and what better way to invite a tradesman in to your home than recommendation! Mark clearly knows what he is doing and also offered solutions and advice I hadn’t thought of. He went that extra mile and the result was exactly what I’d hoped for. I forgot to order the correct bulbs for my new lights and he even supplied these on the day to ensure I had the full finished look! On a personal note, he was on time, polite & even brought his own hoover! Will use Home Electrics again and will most definitely recommend.

Great service from Mark, installed my EV charger at short notice and exactly how I wanted it including certification, all at a very reasonable cost. Thanks again

Rating: 5 / 5

Fast quote, friendly and reliable service, good advice, neat job done, good price and a very accommodating attitude. Mark had to move my bed, which was already broken, to get under the floor. He not only put it all back straight but he fixed the bed!

Rafal was truly a God sent. I contacted him in an emergency about electricity issues at a new flat. He was able to come the same day. He did all he could to work out a solution for me with my electricity ( and then even kindly looked at my boiler/ water). Left me with lights, and heating water. Would recommend. Thank you!

Rating: 5 / 5

I'm so glad I called Rafal to come and sort my electrical problem out. He was with me within the hour. A very nice polite man. Problem solved very quickly. Thank you Rafal

Rating: 5 / 5

Rafal is such a great guy! he came so quickly on a Saturday and was trying to diagnose the problem every possible way! He is very honest and was helping me to understand what the problem was, I’ve never met any electrician so professional and responsible, I’m so glad that I’ve found him and will definitely be in touch in future.

Nigel is an excellent electrician and also has a great team on electricians within his business. He is always on the other end of the phone if I need a quick problem solved in the house. I Recommend Nigel Adams Electrical for top, high service.

Rating: 5 / 5

I don’t normally bother to write reviews but this is well deserved. Nigel and his team have reinstalled my faith in local business, very professional, knowledgeable and guided me in the right direction for my home security. I am so thrilled with the end result, including my bathroom fan that he fitted. I now feel safe in my home and 100% recommend this family business to everyone. They are now my go to company for all electrical work in the future.

Steven was amazing! Called the number at 5pm on a Friday night, after putting up a shelf myself and causing a power cut! Clearly drilled through a wire just before the weekend... Typical! Within the hour Steven was at the house and had the job finished by 7pm! Lovely gentleman , fast efficient and really careful with both my shelf and wall - really pleased with the service and would highly recommend to any other DIY disasters! Thank you so much!

Stephen was a pleasure to deal with, he helped us with a crackling socket this evening. He very kindly reassured me about the nature of the problem and solved it! He was courteous and very prompt and is highly recommended.

Steven came out to me within an hour to help fix a trip switch issue. He was so friendly and helpful. He explained really clearly what he was doing and fixed the problem within the hour. The price was very fair for an emergency call out too. Highly recommended. And a lovely guy.

Rating: 5 / 5

In all my years engaging with electrical and plumbing engineers - I have never been so impressed. Stephen was an emergency call out, from the moment he spoke to arriving (under 30mnts on a Sunday); got the job done, and delivered an outstanding result. Everything else around the service was 5 star - personality, directness, very polite, and even wore shoe protectors when he walked in the door - he dealt with it like he would deal with his own home. HIGHLY recommend him/them.

Fantastic meal at Positano last night. Superb attentive service whilst not being intrusive. Not been here for several years, as previous experience was not what we expected. However so glad we tried them again and it won’t be the last time. Garlic bread was delicious - so good we forgot to take a photo. I had the risotto and can easily say it was the best I have tasted. My husband had the fish special was equally delicious. The suggested wine pairing was perfect. The puddings rounded off a great night. So give Positano a try and we’ll probably see you there as we are definitely coming back.

Beautiful lunch with my neighbour at Positano. I’ve wanted to come here hit a long time but it was always fully booked. Today we had a great lunch, great service, and great atmosphere. Food was delicious and the best tiramisù I’ve had in a long time. Brilliant, I’ll take other friends here too.

This was our first visit to the area so we asked a shop assistant if she could recommend a nice place for a birthday lunch. Without hesitation she recommended Positano. We were so glad she did. Everything was just brilliant from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious (we had the fried chicken in a white wine mushroom sauce and the salmon with spinach and crushed potatoes😋), the staff were very friendly and attentive throughout all in a lovely relaxing atmosphere too. Thank you for my birthday candle in my dessert it was a lovely thoughtful touch and most certainly the icing on the cake after a wonderful lunch! 😃🥰🎂
