A seamless experience from start to finish - Alex and Peter were able to come and quote the work within a short timeframe and then were able to install the next week, offering a couple of dates to suit our schedule. They were both knowledgeable and offered advice on the most suitable EV charger for our needs, that would work with our smart tariff. The install was extremely neat and tidy, and they offered an explanation of how the system worked, checking the app was installed and functioning on our phones before they left. Really happy with everything - would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an EV charger install. Thanks.

If you are looking to install Solar, EV Charger or any electrical works, then I can strongly recommend South Coast EV. Researched electricians for my recent project of Solar Panel and EV Wall Charger install. Found these guys on Checkatrade & South Coast EV website, very impressed but also from start to finish of the project. From the consultation to install and after sales couldn't be faulted. No pressure to buy but a thorough knowledge of the industry. Attention to detail and the neatness of the work carried out was 1st class, so impressed. Also did additional electrical extras which didn't seem a problem. Keeping them in mind for my next project!

Superb and friendly service from this company. Very quick to respond to queries and very helpful with advice as we didn’t have much knowledge re EV chargers. Would definitely recommend if requiring EV charger fitted.

After my old fluorescent tube in the kitchen failed on Xmas Eve, Simon came out promptly on his return to work after the Xmas holidays to fit a new fixture for a LED flourescent tube. He also fitted a new smoke/CO2 alarm as the old one was past it's expiry date. He did an excellent job and am very pleased with the result as I now have light in my kitchen! I can thoroughly recommend Simon for all your electrical needs. First class service.

I would definitely recommend Fixed Connections!! Simon managed to solve a problem that had defeated many others, to replace light fixtures that were installed in my flat almost 25 years ago in a most tortuous fashion! He worked diligently to locate and supply all the missing pieces of the puzzle, and finished in good time. I would not hesitate to recommend him!

I have worked with Simon for several years, both on professional designs for client’s and on a personal basis at home and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his work. It’s a real pleasure to work with someone who is friendly, professional, reliable, efficient, cost effective and a tidy worker. Fixed Connection will always be my first port of call for any electrical works.

I'm always more than happy to recommend Simon to do work, I’ve known Simon personally for many years but have used him for electrical work since moving to the Highcliffe area. He’s always on time and reliable, he’s 100% trustworthy and he always goes the extra mile to solve any problems. He always leaves the house tidy when he’s finished.

Simon's help was initially needed to replace a lamp in a difficult position in our airing cupboard. He tackled the job we ease. A few weeks later a need to replace the underlighting of cupboards in the kitchen was sought, and our 'knight in shining armour' rode to our aid. The job was done efficiently with lovely bright lights. Would I recommend him? Of course, he knows what he is doing and has a pleasant manner. We would certainly call on his services whenever needed again. David and Helen.

Wow! What a lovely cafe. We were both welcomed with a lovely greeting. Wife had a ham and cheese panini. The panini was nice, fresh and crunchy to every bite. I had cappuccino which was great too. Dog friendly. We would recommend this nice clean cafe. They also do Just Eat, which seems popular.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Despite Richard’s work van breaking down in the morning he could of easily postponed the installation of our EV charger for another day, but he sorted out another van keeping us informed all the time and carried out the work later on in the day. Really friendly guy and would highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visiting Christchurch for New Year, wandered down the high street and stumbled over this beautiful Turkish Restaurant, most tables full but we thought we’d tried our luck and we were met by the lovely Celine, sorted us a table and thank goodness, the food and service is amazing to the point we felt we were actually holidaying in Turkey. Please make sure you visit, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing restaurant, definitely worth a visit if you are in Dorchester. The decor is really nice and the staff are really polite and friendly. The quality of the food is really good and the portions are massive. You get complementary salad, dips and bread with your order. This really helps with the overall experience as the dips are things you won't necessarily have tried before. The beetroot dip was amazing. The prices are also really reasonable, please give this place a try and you won't be disappointed. We ended up having to get a takeaway box.

Dan did a fantastic job. He replied to an enquiry within half an hour and managed to squeeze in our job that day. He was quick and efficient - completely fixing the problem we’d been struggling with for nearly a year. He also gave advice and helped with safety issues. Would highly recommend and will be using his service again.

Dan did a brilliant job at fitting a Type 2 EV charger for our home which also required a new fuse board fitting. Notably Dan took the time before installing to help advise a suitable charging unit and furthermore showed me the upgrades installed from our previous fuse board, which I am now glad we have done (regardless of if we had an EV car) as it is a great deal safer than the fuse board we inherited after buying the house recently. Dan did such a good job we also used him for jobs required around the home such as dimmers, electrical wiring of new television in the wall, outdoor lighting and more. Would recommend and will continue to use for all electrical jobs we need in the future.

Dan responded to my enquiry really quickly and came out to us the next day, resolved part of the job we needed doing sooner and gave us a quote and organised dates for further work. Dan took the time to explain different options to us, advised on what was worth spending the extra money on and what wasn’t. Dan was friendly, great communication, top quality workmanship and reasonably priced. Can’t speak more highly of Dan and would recommend him to everybody for any electrical work needed.

Hi I was recommended to Dan by a friend who is also in the electrical profession he and his apprentice arrived on time and replaced our old wired fuse box and checked the entire installation finding a few faults and rectifying them, he was quick, tidy and very professional and knowledgeable I must say that I could recommend him to anyone, thank you again Dan for your help!!

We have been using Dje Electrical for the past five years and been extremely satisfied with Daniel’s knowledgeable efficient caring service. We were recommended to Daniel after moving into the area. He has rewired the whole house and alarm system, setup our TV and sound system, installed outside lights and sockets. Put up ceiling lights . Installed new electric shower unit. He has helped and advised us on every job completing each job efficiently on time and very tidy. We cannot recommend Daniel and Tom highly enough for all the jobs completed.

We were in Christchurch for a weekend, a week or so ago, and had breakfast here on the Saturday morning. We have a dog and she was warmly welcomed, as were we. Felt at home. The Raft was empty when we first came in, which can be a bad sign, but within a few minutes it was bursting (so good timing on our part). The breakfast was really good, although if I was being slightly critical and the sausages weren't quite as good as everything else on the plate, and the coffees were great (funny how so many coffee places get coffee very wrong - not here!). They accommodated our requests for slight changes to the breakfast (another thing some places don't do which puts me off a restaurant) and they even cooked us up some scrambled eggs for our dog, who doesn't like to miss out!! We were very happy with the service. We liked it so much that we had breakfast there on the Sunday morning as well. If we're ever in Christchurch again we will definitely be in for breakfast and a lovely coffee.

We had the Grilled Halloumi with Fig Chutney and the Falafel with Chilli Jam Wraps. Both were delicious. We had chips too and a Flat White Coffee with Oat-milk. Lovely atmosphere and decor inside and outdoor seating too in the back. Excellent service and pricing.

We visited this restaurant for a quick lunch and had Persian tea, a halloumi, hummus and fig jam wrap and a falafel, hummus and chilli jam wrap. All very tasty and freshly prepared. Very friendly welcome as you'd expect from a family run place. The little garden at the rear is fun and colourful with a view of Christchurch castle. They also do Persian themed evening dinners and with Persian heritage I would expect it to be good.

What a gem. Lovely atmosphere, cafe was spotlessly clean with lovely decor. Staff incredibly friendly. Coffee and cake were amazing. Dogs were welcomed and offered treats. There are games for the children and lovely milkshakes ,drinks, pastries, cakes and buns, to name just a few. All profits are going to three different children’s charities which staff and management are passionate about. I would highly recommend Fika- Skandi Coffee. Definitely worth a visit.

Having used PB Electrical Services before, we got them out to quote to replace all 14 three tube lights in our office with LED panel lights. The quote was reasonable and they were able to give us a convenient date to fit them. Their electrician arrived to fit them today and within 5 hours he had fitted all the lights and tidied up behind him. The lights and the service are really good.
