I needed someone to remove ancient existing 6-way CSU and supply and install a new 15way Consumer Unit (fuse box) and wire-in a new electric shower. A new shower was needed quickly to provide washing facilities after old boiler broke. I've never hired any trades based on internet reviews before (only on personal recommendation). However, I was keen to find a good price and came upon MyBuilder and decided to try it, because of the bidding aspect. Sam's reviews had really caught my eye as being so positive, that I invited him to tender. I got several responses and Sam's wasn't quite the lowest. I also got quotes from 5 different local electricians based on friend's high recommendations. Sam's price was around 30% below the lowest of these other quotes. I spoke to him by phone and felt very reassured that he would be good. He was good - very good. He was on time; he was tidy, covering his work area, laying out his tools neatly. He was also very flexible, in working around me as I worked on finishing plumbing for the shower. He stayed 1.5hrs after he'd finished his own work on the CSU so as to connect up the shower (at no extra cost above the agreed quote). Certification all arrived by post after a couple of days as promised.
Sam is a really nice guy, professional and courteous in his manner, and highly knowledgeable. I will definitely use him again for work that is in planning at the moment.
Obviously, I can thoroughly recommend him.
