The Best Electricians in Shillingstone, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

James has done several jobs for our village hall. We are very happy with the standard and quality of James' work. He is reliable, tidy, knowledgeable and friendly. His charges are reasonable too - thoroughly recommended.

James is a rare find. He's great at his job and he cares more about it being done well than you do. Cheerful, diligent, ever so reliable, really good at explaining and advising plus fair fees mean we always go to James.

Great... knows what he's doing and does a great job. I've used James several times at home and at work, and I'm currently sorting out another job with him. Highly recommended!

Efficient, resolved electrical issues in a timely fashion. Explained what needed to be done before starting the work and explained in depth what was done. Great work.

GLE did a great job diagnosing and fixing our existing gate system. They rehung the gate and aligned everything nicely, and the wiring in the new box is so much tidier than the old one. 👍

I contacted the company for an electric gate. Nick the boss came out and suggested a bespoke semi circular gate to match the existing fence. In addition the gate had to rise as the ground was not level. The work was recently completed after some angst and head scratching as it was far from easy. There were a few obstacles to overcome and times I thought it impossible. To everyone's credit they persevered and throughout Nick kept reassuring me that the gate would be finished as per the original design and that I would be satisfied. Well I am satisfied as I believe they have done a great job. The team of young men are a credit to the company. They were all polite professional workers. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

The initial problem of a faulty circuit was attended to promptly and corrected. This did identify that some switch gear and circuit breakers were in poor condition and being now out-of-date, could not be repaired. As a second job, these were replaced the following day with modern equipment. Everything was done promptly and with good humour.

I contacted Green Light for a quote for Solar PV Panel installation at the end of March 2023, getting their name from the MCS website and being local to the area. Nick contacted me by phone for an initial phone chat and very quickly produced an initial draft proposal. We arranged a visit to our house to discuss it further and firm up proposals. Nick was punctual and very informative and very keen on Solar. All our questions were answered, he did a thorough site survey and I said we were getting other quotes, which he was supportive of. He then supplied a firm quote which included a consumer (fuse box) unit replacement at the same time. Whilst I was waiting for other quotes Nick was quick to answer any follow up questions we had. The quote from the company was competitive with others and at the beginning of April we accepted the quote and booked a date for installation in May. The deposit could be paid by bank transfer or credit card to give the extra protection under section 75. The Monday agreed on in May arrived and Arthur and colleague arrived to start work, scaffolding had been put up the week before. We discussed a change of location of the inverter and battery if possible and that was incorporated so both were fitted downstairs instead of in the loft. They both worked tirelessly throughout the week, arriving about 0800hrs and not leaving until 1630hrs and seemed to work through any tea and lunch breaks. The work was completed with little mess and what there was was all cleaned up by end of the day. We were expecting more visible wiring trunking, inside and outside but they managed to use the wall cavity to run the wiring from the panels to the consumer unit/inverter so the little visible trunking is all extremely neat and contained around the inverter and battery. The consumer unit change replaced 2 old fuse units and looks so much neater. Whilst the wiring was being changed Arthur wired in sockets so we weren't left totally without electric for the day it took for the unit to be replaced, a nice touch really. On Fri afternoon the work was completed, the Solar panels producing electricity, work area left clean and tidy. A minor issue with battery connectivity was soon resolved the next working day. All in all I would recommend Nick and his company for their obvious commitment to providing a quality service, who are professional, want to do a professional job, arrive on time and work extremely hard to complete a job on time and to a very high standard. A job well done that we are very satisfied with. Nick and his team are to be commended.

Starts Electrical have gone above and beyond with my new solar panel installation. They were professional, tidy and the price was fair! I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Russell the business owner made me feel at ease from start to finish and was always available to discuss any questions I had!

From start to finish it has been a pleasure to use your company to install the solar panels, Battery and EV charger. Was a couple of small issues along the way but you know you have chosen a good company when they pick up the phone , answer message and call you back.

From first contact with Russell and his team at Starks service has been first class. The whole process from survey to fitting and commissioning was completely seamless. Russell fully explained the whole process, the fitters were polite and respectful, communication throughput was excellent. Price was very competitive. Highly recommended.

Just had 21 panels (split between east and west of my roof) and a large battery fitted by Russell and his team. The plan being to maximise the amount of solar I generate and combine this with a heat pump (being fitted soon by a separate national installer). I got quotes from a number of solar installers before opting for Starks electrical. Whilst their quote was competitive the thing which stood out most with this company was their knowledge and experience in fitting solar and I liked that they were a local company. I was able to make tweaks to my proposed system and get lots of free advice from Russell’s team so by the time the install went ahead I was really confident about my purchase. There was absolutely no ‘hard sell’ and I was given options for various systems at different price points which was great. The installation was very smooth. The team who did the install were great - worked really hard, were polite courteous and really nice guys who had years (decades!) of experience in solar installs. The system is now working great - even in October! I highly recommend this company.

We have used the services of this company on numerous occasions and have always been happy with the work carried out.

Fantastic service from Jason and his team. A top class clean for our solar panels (12) and the added benefit of an in depth test report on the entire system. I'd have no hesitation in recommending DES.

Dorset Electrical Solutions gave me a quote, turned up on time and did a great job cleaning my panels!

Really pleased with the work carried out to install 2 x extractors and a PIV unit. The work was much more involved than first thought, and the poor guy was working in our loft on the hottest day of the year! But he returned a second day to finish up and the original price was honoured. A pleasure having you in our home and feeling the benefits of the extractors and PIV as soon as they were turned on!

We brought a house with 12 solar panels just over a month ago. We knew the panels were not serviced or cleaned since installed 10 years ago (2013) We reached out to DES Ltd who completed a full service and cleaning service. Not only was the job done to a high standard but the knowledge shared and showing us how the system worked has be valuable. Highly recommend and thank you. Regards Riad

Excellent. Fast and efficient in an emergency. Husband was away and power tripped out. Couldn’t source problem but their electrician sourced it tonour heating/hotwater system and got straight to work to resolve and make safe and get out power back up and running. Highly recommended

Excellent service. Highly recommended. Scott DE installed a basement ring main, outside extension to the garage. All work neat and tidy.

Brian and the rest of the team have been fantastic in responding to our requests for help in sorting out various glitches with our smart home system. Professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. They are the 'go to' people in this area!

After being let down by a number of local Businesses Unique Tech Solutions came to the rescue with a first class service, great team of people who took pride in their work, a breath of fresh air, thank you Tom and Miles 👍

Great to work with, fast and great communication and organisation, Great job done with minimal disruption 👍👍

I’ve been using Unique since 2019 when they fitted my intruder alarm system and was really impressed with their work that they now undertake all my electrical work for my property. I was so impressed with them that I recommended them to both my dad and brother who’ve since had intruder alarms fitted by them! Unique are both professional and friendly whilst offering helpful advice along the way. Using a local company is always my philosophy as you build a relationship with them and they’re always happy to help whenever you need them. I can’t recommend Unique Tech Solutions enough as you can always rely on them!

Another good job done efficiently and with minimum mess, always a pleasure to have Ian round to sort our electrical issues

Thank you for sending someone so quickly to solve my kitchen wiring issues. Your electrician not only solved the issue but made sure that the rest of the wiring was safe. Brilliant local company and a pleasure to deal with.
