Always been delighted with the work from Dorset Electrical. Our house isn't easy at times, with lathe and plaster walls Mark, our regular electrician has always managed to find a way to do the job neatly and in good time.

I have used Dorset electrical in the last couple of months for an extension on my house . I found Gavin and his team very professional and helpful and nothing was ever a problem. They made the job stress free and the work is of the highest quality.

I've used Dorset Electrical many time, from simple light switch change to a complete loft rewire. Always on time, tidy and professional. Good advice always given and never any issues with the work. I wouldn't go anywhere else for any electrical work.

Yup, the good reviews are on point. Gavin & his team did a full rewire of my house, and every aspect of working with him was A1. Starting with a detailed and fair quote; he made great suggestions that I hadn't thought of; the works, and communications were done well and on time; he was flexible to changes in my plans....generally speaking, he has a great attitude, so all-in-all I could relax and trust that the job was in good hands.

I have used Gavin and his team for some outside lighting installation on an Aircraft Hangar at Bournemouth Airport which I am very satisfied with. Dorset Electrical are an excellent choice for industrial electrical installation requirements. From start to finish very professional and safe at all times and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

We've done a lot of glamping in the UK, and found this independent site to be up there with the best. The hosts were fantastic, the accommodation extremely comfortable and the facilities among the best. Bonus points for the best outdoor hot tub we've had.

Beautiful. Lovely part of the countryside and the owners are lovely friendly people. This is not your typical b&b, there is a great atmosphere and lots of history just scattered about. They restore some amazing classic cars nearby so if your into that then you won't get bored. The location is great and central to lots of interesting places to visit around Dorset.

Tim and Lucy are excellent hosts and really look after you while staying. We had the shepherds huts in their big open field and all of the family really enjoyed it. Very comfy and the old silo barbecue is excellent. Wonderful to see the kids interact with the animals and just be free for a few days. Great place for a break.

P: 01747 445509

We did a significant extension to our home and we are not people with experience with the building trade. Steve and his team were exceptional. The time they gave us to explain choices and help us figure out where they would fall on the timeline was incredibly useful (we project managed ourselves) , the were flexible with the timings as dates moved due to other trades and finishing points. The work is off a high standard and their advice on that to have and why was amazing because they knew this inside out. Would definitely go back.

SESC were an absolute pleasure to deal with. We had a burst water main that needed immediate attention. They were onsite within the hour, traced the underground leak and prevented our cafe from flooding. They advised us on what course of action was needed and the following day rerouted our mains supply which enabled the our business to reopen quickly with minimal disruption. A pleasure to deal with, couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you

We have used SESC Solutions a number of times now and each job has been completed efficiently and on time, at a very reasonable rate. I would not hesitate in recommending them, they are professional with a friendly approach so they have top marks from me, so I would definitely use their services again.

I could not recommend Steve and his team at SESC Solutions more highly and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again for future projects. SESC Solutions have helped us for both London and country projects. The work has always been completed to a high standard and the work has always been well managed with clear communication throughout. We look forward to working with SESC again soon.

A great service from Justin and his business partner, from the inital visit to us, they listened to our ideas and also provided us with their ideas through their experience, which all came together for our renovation work which included relocation of lights, light switches and under groundcable installation, they took the stress out of everything, they turn up when they said they would, carried out the work in a tidy and professional manner and were super responsive to my questions and ideas. Thank you Rudling and Francis. Look forward to seeing you both again soon for the next phase of work.

We came here for breakfast for my mum's birthday and it did not disappoint! The ingredients are of the highest quality, everything was cooked perfectly and the coffee was great. We were a table of 7 adults and a highchair, and the service was incredibly friendly and professional. The outdoor tables with a view were a perfect way to finish our morning with a coffee and a cannoli. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we look forward to returning soon!

The food was delicious, lovely atmosphere and were able to offer most options gluten free. We had the avo halloumi with chilli jam and it was perfection - ( small kitchen area so chance of cross contamination but they knew what they were doing so I felt safe to eat) my daughter had the kids snack box which was brilliant and made her feet kick (she loves her food) definately will be back

Friendly and unusual A combination of florist, cafe, and interiors shop done very well. Excellent coffee and pastries surrounded by contemporary floristry with incredibly friendly staff. They act like they love their job and enjoy serving you. Had iced coffees, a selection of cakes/flapjacks and bought a baguette for later. Went back the next morning to pick up pastries for breakfast. All excellent.

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.

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!

NDM Renewables fitted solar panels & a battery system at our property last October. We are so pleased with the results especially through the summer months. The NDM team were quick & professional & have offered us on going support as we have changed energy providers to get the most from our system.

Yalbury Cottage is a place where excellence, friendliness, and quality come together seamlessly. As someone who loves travelling and exploring new cities and places, I have stayed in numerous accommodations, but none compare to Yalbury Cottage. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning to the area. The staff at Yalbury Cottage consistently went out of their way to be friendly and did everything possible to ensure our stay was exceptional. The room exceeded my expectations significantly, with its stunning and unique view. We truly felt as if we were at home, but in a setting with beautiful new scenery. Situated in Dorchester, Yalbury Cottage offers a perfect base to explore the area and nearby cities such as Weymouth. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, have recommended this place to others, and will continue to do so. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything was spotlessly and well-organised. Additionally, the thoughtful touch of leaving brownies in our room upon arrival exemplifies their dedication to Yalbury Cottage and their commitment to providing each guest with an exceptional experience. I personally can't wait to return to this charming cottage for another uniquely wonderful stay.
