    Extractor fan installation

    Unfortunately Kevin never showed up to do the extractor fan and ignored messages for a week. The day he was meant to do it he said his van window was smashed, so fair enough, but the next week we waited and he didn't show. I then got a text at 8:35 about a visit on the 10th, when I asked if he was still coming that morning, he said he had an emergency call out and was about to say. I don't think this is true as he would've started the message with that. I think he forgot. We've had to block out 3 Saturdays for this job and sat around the whole day waiting for nothing. Today my husband took a day off work unpaid as Kevin said he would be here on the 10th, and he hasn't even apologised to say he won't be coming. I understand if there are emergency call outs, but we need an extractor fan as mould is growing in the bathroom due to no ventilation, so it's becoming urgent, and now we've been messed around for weeks. Absolutely do not recommend, incredibly upset and disappointed.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    This person has not provided an accurate account of this situation. I found this person to be very inflexible and if the work was not scheduled around her, then she was not happy. I do not usually work weekends as this is the only time I get to spend with my family, but I said I would do this job as the customer provided no other options when asked. Unfortunately, the first appointment had to be cancelled through no fault of my own and then on the second appointment I was called to an existing customer who had an electrical tripping issue which resulted in me having to cut a section of their ceiling down. On both occasions, the customer was contacted and photographs of the issues provided to prove that this was the case. On the second occasion, the client and her husband both then bombarded me with messages and it was obvious that they were frustrated. I apologised and reiterated that a person with no electricity unfortunately took priority over installing an extractor fan which I'm sure they would appreciate should they ever find themselves in this situation. I appreciate that I had let them down, but that did not justify the rude and abrupt message I then received. At this point, I informed the customer that I would not be carrying out their work as I am not here to be spoken to like that. I would not recommend this customer and I strongly disagree with this feedback. Sour grapes.

    Bathroom Heater

    Excellent Service. Kevin kept me informed on all work done and explained the process as he went along. When finished everything was cleaned up and all the rubbish taken away. The Price charged was good value and I will use his company for any further work I need doing.

    Downlighting in several rooms

    The prices are very reasonable and the work is very professional. Even if there were problems along the way, he worked late and finished on the promised day. If he found a problem, he explained it carefully and told us how to deal with it. If anything, I would certainly ask him to do the job for me.

    Two plug sockets installed please

    Excellent service. Friendly and trustworthy. Came back at a later date once we had installed our kitchen units and affixed the socket safely. We have gone on to have a new electric cable installed for a shower and will use his again in the future for some light fittings.

    Electrics to Bathroom mirror

    Kevin turned up on time, was very polite and tidy. His work was a great quality and honestly can’t recommend him enough, will definitely use again. The quote was very competitive and had no problem with us asking for extra little things to be looked at.

    Repair outside light

    Fantastic job. Arrived exactly when he said he would. Found the fault quickly and managed to restore power to our faulty light switch. Excellent price. Highly recommended.
