I have been let down or not had calls returned by so many tradesmen over recent years, it’s like they just can’t be bothered with smaller jobs even though they still charge loads. This morning I realised my 30amp fuse was tripping meaning no dishwasher or washing machine and power to outbuilding. I found this company and called, Sam was with me within an hour, not only did he solve that issue, he also fixed a kitchen socket after running several tests and a bedroom light, he is truly professional and knowledgeable and also really polite and easy going. I will definitely be using him going forward and can’t recommend him enough, today could have been a nightmare but ended up being very successful and stress free, thank you very much Sam.

On a cold January Sunday afternoon all our power went. Samar came out and fixed it. Rapid and professional, we'll be using Galaxy Electrical Services Ltd for future work. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Samar provided an excellent service from the initial enquiry, the question and quote stage, and on the day of installation. Samar remained on site from installing the EV charger right through to ensuring it was recognised by the HIVE app. He didn’t leave the site until the charger was useable which involved contacting HIVE multiple times and logging into the laptop to manage the options and set up. Samar also made a very neat job of both the inside electrics as well as on the exterior, avoiding any visible wires. This was much appreciated as this would have shown on the white render. All paperwork and certificates followed through on the same day. I couldn’t recommend Samar more highly.

What a great privately owned coffee shop, it is very stylish and is a welcome addition to the Byfleet. The there is a large variety of drinks and cakes and snacks, I am looking at trying out the Beetroot Latte, The coffee was very smooth and the Mocha, white chocolate with Macadamia nuts cookie was amazing. All baked goods are made on site by the owner adding that personal touch. For those in wheelchairs there all the seating will work for you, there is a small lip as enter the door but can easy be overcome. I would recommend a visit.

I never leave reviews but felt like I had to on this occasion. Popped in here on the way to work for a latte and it was one of the best coffees I’ve had in a while! The lady was so lovely and very accommodating :) The sweet treats are all freshly baked on the day and couldn’t help but try the banana bread and again it was the best one I’ve tried around 😋 I’m now in here every week for my morning coffee ☕️ A must try!

After drop my kid for an activity, I tried to pop in Cafe Joen. Ordered Ginger honey latte and Pumpkin cake. Both of them tired first time! Highly recommend! So smooth and lovely taste. Specially Ginger honey latte was amazing! I tried to make by myself at home because it’s so far from my area. But it’s not a similar.😭 Hope to pop in again soon.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

I called John when I had a power failure and he was round an hour later. Located and fixed the fault very quickly. I then asked him to replace some old sockets, light switches and outside P.I.R lights which was all done the next day. Very reliable and I would highly recommend.

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.

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

If you are looking for a quaint but amazing coffee stop then look no further. This little Italian coffee shop is where you need to be. The staff are amazing friendly and helpful. The coffee is smooth and flavourful. And as for the cake, will, sxxt they're awesome. I had a banana and chocolate loaf cake. It was the full of flavour and moist beyond belief. There were so many cakes on offer that I will have to come and try another. The first bite had so many different flavours coming at you that you don't know what's first. There is ample outside seating to have a catch up with some comfortable seating inside. With a range of lunch options to be had this will definitely be a welcome stop when in the area.

I first visited Annaré back in 2019 when it had just opened. I was warmly greeted by Rita and her son, who were working hard, creating their delicious Italian food and ensuring the café’s decor and presentation were of the highest quality. Over the years, as I’ve continued to visit this wonderful café, I’ve noticed that Rita is unwavering in her commitment to providing only the best products to her customers. I liked Annaré from the moment it opened, and it has only grown more impressive with time. The food, service, and presentation have continually improved, showcasing the dedication and passion behind it. I truly take my hat off to what Annaré has accomplished and to the long hours and hard work Rita has poured into building something so special. This is truly my favourite café!

Rating: 5 / 5

Great for quick hot drink or smoothie/milkshake or a light meal - wide range of Italian dishes freshly cooked on the premises; have to be quick for the breakfast range! Good portions and full of flavour. Would definitely return.

We had our house rewired by Direct Electric Solutions and have nothing but good things to say. Communication with Becky is excellent. She is quick to reply, answering any questions we had. Dean gave us great advice and suggestions to best use the space we had and putting plugs and switches in the most ideal places. The team that came to do the work were fantastic. All of the team were polite and professional. You wouldn’t even know they had been here at the end of the day, they cleaned everything away very well. Nothing was too difficult for them, and if we had changes they happily did them. I would definitely used Direct Electric Solutions for any electrical work in the future and would highly recommend to others

Harvey and Will did an excellent job on my electrical work. They were courteous and helpful. Work done was carried out with as little disruption as possible and they made sure areas were protected from dust. I will definitely use this Company again and happy to recommend to friends.

Fantastic service. Dean went above and beyond to be so helpful and stepped in at the last minute to fix some electrical faults in our house. He even did some additional work that we hadn’t booked originally. The whole team were amazing and all communication was clear and prompt. I cannot recommend highly enough

I’ve been able to trust Direct electric solution Ltd to do the work to a very high standard and the cost was also reasonable too. Becky has been incredibly responsive to all my enquiries through the entire process. The overall service has been outstanding. I would highly recommend !

What a lovely cafe and it helps the community! So glad we found the cosy cafe. Tucked away at the top of the lighthouse building it is well worth finding! We followed the signs and found such a cosy welcoming place, great for a bite to eat and the loose leaf tea was amazing! Will definitely be back

So happy I’ve found the Cosy Coffee House! This is proper barista coffee in sweet crockery and I love it. Possibly the best cafe in Woking and Guildford… Lovely (super friendly staff) relaxing cafe with proper squidgy sofas too. Cakes looked good but didn’t try. I’ll be back as soon as I can for brownie sampling!

Rating: 5 / 5

The best coffee shop in Woking. Beautiful space, lovely staff and the most delicious coffee. The food is also great and very reasonable, plus the cakes… all made in house and change on a regular basis with seasonal specials too. And the best bit? The staff are volunteers with all profits going to help the work of The Lighthouse. A must visit!

Samsun and his team did the electrics for our loft extension. Samsun was great - he came on site at the beginning and helped us worked out where plugs and lights should go. He came back to check on progress and kept in touch throughout the process. His guys, especially Kieran, were great. Really professional, respectful and very easy to work with. We asked Samsun to help us with an extra very small job ages after the loft was finished and Kieran came out the next week and fixed it immediately. Thank you Samsun and the team for such a positive experience.

We have used Samsun and his team for a wide range of electrical work over the last few years and they always offer great advice, install great quality hardware and are a pleasure to have around the house. I’d recommend them to anyone.

Rating: 5 / 5

Samsum and his team were brilliant. They worked with our builder on our extension and renovation. From they time of quoting to where we are now, nearly finished, they have been exceptional. We told them what we wanted and nothing was too much trouble. Offered great advice on fitting etc and was able to arrange for alarm system to be installed. Also added few extras that we changed during the build process. The finish was better than the products we had identified. Planning and attention to detail was wonderful. Few things done without cost as this provided a better outcome. Wonderful. Samsum also shared my liking for gadgets and technology and nice to see someone in the trade show a true passion for their work and also for the outcome the client gets. I think there was some TV envy!!! Wifi works like a dream, OLED tv has pride of place in the living room, so much so that I cannot get to watch it as the kids seem to like it so much. Understandable delays caused by Covid were never and issue as Samsun would keep updated daily if needed. If there is every anything further we need doing, then Samsun and his team will be the only people we call. It was a pleasure to have Samsun and the SG Electrical Team in our house and we are so pleased with the end product.

Excellent service and reasonable rates. He did everything we wanted and more as he also PAT tested a toaster for Oxfam in Godalming as a donation. Wonderful guy.

I would highly recommend Matthew. He is polite, courteous, arrives on time, and did an excellent job on both occasions. I will certainly use Matthew when I need any electrical work doing.

Rating: 5 / 5

I chose Bramley Electrical because they are a small, well-established, family business with a good reputation. I wasn't disappointed. Owner Matt did several jobs for me including repairing my spot lighting, putting up a chandelier and removing an unsafe wall light. He was polite, friendly and helpful, taking the time to discuss different options with me and even did little extras, like taking down an old smoke alarm from my high ceiling. It's so refreshing to find a tradesman who is punctual (I even got a courtesy text confirming Matt was on his way). He left my house clean and tidy - I couldn't have asked for better customer service! I would have no hesitation in recommending Bramley Electrical.

Rating: 5 / 5

We have used Matthew on a couple of projects now. It has been a pleasure and a breath of fresh air to have his experience, honesty and professionalism. Highly recommend him for his straight forward approach and willingness to help.

George is an absolute legend! Quality work. Great service. Very fair price.

Rating: 5 / 5

George attended site punctually at the agreed time without any fuss. He rectified a fault with the earth wiring on our lighting circuit. As this was completed very quickly without a fuss he then was able to install the intermediate lighting I had planned out on the same day. This too was tackled with diligence and professionalism, the site was left tidy and the work was excellent value for money in time saved. Thank you for your help again!

Rating: 5 / 5

George is an extremely competent and passionate electrician. He always finds the time to explain all the options that are available and helps choosing the one that best fits your needs and requirements. I had recently installed an Andersen EV charger and a led staircase lighting and I couldn’t be happier with the quality and the tidiness of the work. Warmly and enthusiastically recommended!

Rating: 5 / 5

George carried out the rewire of an old school building into two residential houses. The work was efficient, clean, quick and George was always thoughtful in how to ensure the project ran smoothly with a keen eye on keeping costs reasonable and quality high. Would highly recommend

Staff were really friendly, polite and helpful. One kind lady who works there brought me over a high chair for my niece. The food was lovely, I had the breakfast, my niece had butterfly chicken and chips. Both were lovely! She also had a Babychino which was well made, not too hot and was demolished in minutes. I had a latte which again tasted great! Really impressed with this little cafe. They even have a selection of Sicilian baked treats at the counter. Will definitely be visiting again. ☺️

Rating: 5 / 5

First visit, very good. We had brunch and options were not run of the mill, it was great to have something different. Sicilia sausages are excellent. Good selection of pastries and they are big!

I have been coming here for a few months and wow it never lets me down. Amazing to have breakfast at, not as busy as Costa and the meals taste really good! Very homely feel!
