Rating: 5 / 5

Liam is THE guy for anything electric in Dorset - strong buy 👍

Rating: 5 / 5

Very reliable, uber professional, uber neat and competitive rates. Liam is a top class electrician and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him, he has done various jobs at our house from fitting a cctv system, kitchen work to lots of garage and outdoor electrical work and all of it has been first class.

Rating: 5 / 5

Liam has just replaced a bathroom extractor fan for me and having been guided by the other reviews, I concur completely with all the positive comments. He is very personable, professional, efficient and does a great job at reasonable pricing. Additionally, as he knew I needed this doing urgently he came the day after I telephoned him. Highly recommend!

Terry did some work for us at our holiday cottage. We found him to be very accommodating and trustworthy, which was essential as he needed to be in the house alone. He also identified a fault on the electrical circuit he was originally working on and after being told that to find the fault could take anything from an hour to a day to find, we were worried about the bill we could potentially receive. The bill was very reasonable and this was another demonstration of how fair and trustworthy he is. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

LED lighting design & installation in 4 rooms. Existing wiring faults identified and rectified. Terry is a very reliable, conscientious & professional electrical engineer. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Terry recently undertook the task of bringing power from our house to our external office/work space. He also wired it along with the installation of led ceiling lights and a number of sockets and switches. He also installed the associated earthing rods. In addition we asked for some help with regard to wiring our internet from the house to the new space. Terry was happy to carry out the additional work. At all times Terry was communicative, tidy and professional in the work he’s carried out for us. We were very happy with the service provided. Would use again and would happily recommend to others.

Rating: 5 / 5

Having never needed an electrician in Dorset before, Terry was the first and only contact I needed to make. He completed a thorough survey of the work required and subsequently provided a quote which I was more than happy with. I did not feel I had to look elsewhere. The work was carried out to my complete satisfaction in a very tidy manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending and using his services again.

Upcycle Interiors have used Joe Newton Electrical & Plumbing for numerous jobs, and we will keep coming back for more - because they are reliable. They turn up on time, communicate, and provide proper written quotations. Their prices are spot on for the high *quality service* they provide, as the saying goes "buy cheap buy twice". They are a great dependable and professional team . Thanks again from Mark at Upcycle Interiors Limited

Joe and his colleagues did the electrical work and plumbing on our houses renovation. The electrical work carried out (mainly) by Aaron and his trusty assistant Billy is superb. Aaron is extremely methodical in his approach and it shows with the end result. We also had a mini wet room built. The end result is stunning. The tiling and the tanking beneath the tiling was done to an extremely high standard. The tiler Steve is a lovely chap and again, extremely methodical in his approach. Towards the end of the project the final bits of plumbing were completed by plumber Aaron and John. Again the work was to a high standard and it was a pleasure having them in our home. We would definitely recommend using Joe and his team and we will be next spring for the other bathroom to be renovated. Thanks Joe and team. Andy and Lisa. Also I think it’s wonderful that Joe takes on apprentices, to train the next generation of electricians.

A job well done. We are very happy to recommend Joe Newton Ltd. for plumbing and electrical work, especially as they did a very clean job, with no mess to clear up.

We've been super-happy with Joe and his colleagues. Highly recommended. We discoevered Joe through a previous small job at our colttage where they were sub-contracted by our builder. This week, they replaced a whole lot of ageing night-storage heaters with modern, programmable radiators at our rather old and crumbly cottage in Dorset. Joe gave great advice, answering every email really quickly. We were away when they did the job over a couple of days. We returned to find everything completed absolutely perfectly. The cabling from our meter was rewired as needed. Everything just right. New radiators installed, firmly fixed to our walls of various weird and historic materials. Other than the radiators being installed, we wouldn't have known they'd been here! The heavy old contraptions full of grime and bricks had been dismantled and taken away without any fuss, or dust. Through no fault of theirs, one of the new radiators had a little fault. They responded instantly and had sourced and installed a new one within 24 hours. Unbelievable! Everything friendly, cheerful, efficient, responsive and charged exactly the price agreed in advance. We are very happy (and warm!) bunnies indeed. Thank you Joe and Mark! All the best, Jon (Dorset DT2)

A great local amenity. Stocks all the essentials you might need and the cafe serves good food.

Rating: 5 / 5

Popped into this cafe and post office/shop to break up the journey to the south coast with my very elderly parents. We were so well looked after, my frail parents were guided into the lovely tea garden, and parasols were put up all around to keep the sun from burning us. The food was very good, my pot of tea was huge. We called in again when returning from the holiday and had the best carrot cake ever! Such friendly people.

Rating: 5 / 5

A really lovely surprise to find such a welcoming and friendly chap at this shop/cafe. Very helpful and accommodating. Very happy to shop here and it's very convenient on my way home, for parking and a nice atmosphere. Lots of groceries etc too. ( A long time ago, when the previous owner was here it wasn't so welcoming!} Thankfully we now have the delightful new owners, so much friendlier and helpful. Definitely recommend.

The sweetest tea rooms with an idyllic garden at the back. The most lovely people served us and really went out of their way to help us. Would definitely recommend. Thank you

I recently worked with Nick and his team from NDM electrical and I am extremely impressed with their service. From the first contact, Nick's professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction were clear. He responded quickly, scheduled a convenient consultation, and arrived on time. Nick’s team was courteous, efficient, and highly skilled. They understood my needs and provided great recommendations to improve my home’s electrical system. Their attention to detail ensured everything was done to the highest standards, from installing new lighting fixtures to upgrading the electrical panel and troubleshooting issues. What stood out was their commitment to safety and cleanliness. They followed all safety protocols and left my home spotless. It’s evident they take pride in their work and care about their customers. I highly recommend Nick and his team. Their exceptional service, friendly demeanor, and professionalism made this a stress-free experience. If you need top-notch electrical work from a reliable and trustworthy company, Nick and his team are the best choice. Thank you, Nick, for a job well done!

A superb team from NDM installed our solar system with battery in short time as our decision-making was out of sync! Very grateful that we now have a fully functioning solar installation which was commissioned last Saturday. Thanks Nick and Alison. Graham

Rating: 5 / 5

Nick spotted the issue and at same time talked me through how the system works which is something that the original installer never bothered to do. Would recommend if you are considering a system as a good installer is really important to your ongoing system health.

Used NDM many times. Nick and his team are always responsive and do a great job. Thanks.

Thanks to all the staff at Alaska House today. Back for a check up after my implant earlier this year and to see the Hygienist. Everyone was as professional and friendly as always and made a special effort to fit me in. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all.

Took my 4yo here for her first two dentist appointments this year and they were so lovely with her. Gentle and reassuring. Would (and have recommended) to others.

Rating: 5 / 5

On my first visit to Alaska house I was seen by Llewellyn Camilla. She made me feel very welcomed and put me at ease straight away. Nicole the Hygienist was really lovely and spoke through every process she was going to be doing. I'm quite a nervous patient so this was nice to have. She also offered me lots of advice on how to keep my gums healthy. She was very lovely and welcoming! My overall experience so far at Alaska house has been very good, everyone at the practice is so welcoming.

Paul went to see an elderly friend of mine. He was very kind and caring whilst doing a fab job! Thank you so much!!

Rating: 5 / 5

Really helpful and professional service. Now have Electrisafe's number ready to call next time have an electrical issue. Its a huge relief to have someone that can trust to call for these things. Electrisafe put a lot of effort into finding a part for our car charging point and also did a health check on our smoke alarms.

Rating: 5 / 5

Very professional and very efficient, in less than an hour, Paul solved our “chirping” smoke alarm that had defied all other attempts to fix! We were very impressed that he suggested we video as he fixed it, so that we could solve the problem ourselves should it reoccur. I would definitely recommend Electrisafe!

Rating: 5 / 5

Paul carried out our electric work for our new kitchen and also installed a new up to date consumer unit for us and we were very pleased and satisfied with the work undertaken, he was very friendly and knowledgeable about our questions and sent us helpful links to understand some of the issues we had with our electrics . We would definitely recommend electrisafe to anyone that wants to have any electrical work done .

What a lovely little cafe, made even better by helpful and attentive staff. They were able to accommodate dietary requirements without fuss and were so nice! The people here clearly enjoy what they do and it shows.

Rating: 5 / 5

Really Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere inside. Food is also absolutely delicious. Great prices for the quality of the food. Only spent £18 on two meals two drinks and a brownie! I asked for ham on my Croissant instead of tomatoes as I don’t like them, they remembered this and put no tomatoes on my salad too! The little things made my experience great.

Lovely little café in Shaftesbury. Perfect for a quick light lunch.
