I am happy to recommend highly.

Knowledgeable and informative, wouldn't hesitate to recommend and we shall be using him for any electrical work in the future.

  • Downlight installations in two rooms

    Alex was timely, organised and gave good advice on the fixtures the job required. He's a 'details' person and made notes when he visited for a quote. I appreciated that he always made quick replies on phone, text and email to get everything right before the job. The lights he installed are better down lights than any energy saver down lighters I've seen before and he explained they're new to the market - they give a really warm soft glow to the rooms.

    Alex seemed promising from his feedback. Turned up quick enough and supposedly fixed the tripping problem within 20 minutes. However 30 minutes after him leaving the circuit tripped again. When I informed him by text, bearing in mind the tenant was without a fridge and has a young child, his response was 'ah ok'. After that he would not respond any calls or texts until the following day when I threatened to report him. His response was that he could return in 5 days time!!
    Stay well clear of this cowboy.
    Reid Electrics Ltd's reply:

    My time was limited that day but i suggested i would have a quick look on my way home. I found a socket in the kithen area with a loose Neutral and stated that this "might" be the problem and that the client should let me know how they got on.About two hours later i received a text from the tennent stated the problem appeared again. Unfortunately i was unable to return for a few days but on telling the landlord this he then became abusive and very rude. I made him aware that i hadn't even charged him for the call out or the work however he continued to be rude. I would suggest tradesman stay clear of this Landlord!!!!!

  • Potential Re-wiring of two rooms

    We had a couple of rooms in which the plug sockets were not working and the previous owner had run some cabling around and attached block plug sockets to the wall as a 'quick fix'. Alex was very quick to come around and give us an idea of what the problem could be with a recommendation to look into it further. After looking in to it further the cost of the fix was lower than we had first expected and he did an amazing job in re-wiring both the rooms to the original sockets. The very next day we hired him to install some outdoor lighting with a sensor which again was done so well - not a single wire in sight (craftily hidden through some exsisting wood work just below the guttering). All the time professional and a genuinely good guy.... Even threw in a free light fitting for us that we couldn't do ourselves.

    Would recommend to anyone. Alex - Cheers.

  • Bathroom light and extractor problem

    Alex was very prompt and professional for this job.
    However, I have since tried to contact him via email and phone for other issues I have had with no luck. To be ignored when you need help in fixing something leads me to give neutral feedback.
    Reid Electrics Ltd's reply:

    I completed the job (install bathroom fan and fix bathroom light) in June this year and requested feedback from Verity but she didn't reply.The next i hear is 6 months later i have neutral feedback? The reason she gave was because she couldn't get hold of me for another and additional job however she was very happy with the first job. Feedback should be used on this site for work completed and agreed by the client and tradesman, it's not a portal to give neutral feedback just because you can't get hold of someone.

    Alex was able to check on my bathroom fan extractor on the day of my phone call to see what the issue was and advise on the course of action. Instead of offering to replace the extractor fan right away he suggested that it might just need cleaning. In the end it was a loose screw which Alex identified immediately and mend it with no charge! His common sense saved me purchasing a new fan. Most definitely I will keep his phone number handy should I need it in the future and would recommend his services to friends.

  • Put lights up and fix socket

    Alex turned up on time and did the job. I left the flat before he'd finished but the tenant reported a good job with everything fine and working. Very reasonable price too.

  • Full inspection - Internal + External electrical points

    Alex is one of a very rare breed - an electrician that does exactly what it says on the tin, at an affordable rate with no hidden charges, on time, efficient and provides excellent after care to make sure that everything is alright even after the work has been completed. Not only this, but he was readily available to visit the property free of charge to deliver a quote and carried out the work with no hidden charges. He also went out of his way to provide the extra bits that were needed which saved me the hassle of getting it myself. If you are looking for a friendly, personable and reliable electrician, I would urge you to consider Alex's service!

  • New Fuse Box - supply and install

    Alex arrived on time and completed the works efficiently and cleanly. He was good at keeping me informed what was going on and has since returned to do another couple of small jobs for me, both of which were done well with the minimum of disruption. I found him to be very professional in his attitude whilst being very friendly and willing to discuss the jobs with someone who had little knowledge of the finer points of the work. I would certainly employ him again for similar work. S

  • hallway rewiring

    We were very pleased by the work carried out by Alex Reid (Reid Electrics). There was a high standard of work undertaken and Alex was very helpful and flexible taking on a few extra jobs for us while he was here. We will definitely be hiring Reid Electrics again.

  • Recessed Lighting In Two Bedrooms

    Initial contact and work carried out was good, however, Alex never came back to finish the job (leaving a wire hanging out of the bedroom ceiling and quotes for additional work we discussed). In hindsight I realise I shouldn't have paid him immediately and only after the job was finished but I guess I will learn from this in the future. Plus I didn't expect such behaviour based on comments and ratings left on the website from previous clients I have to say I use this website a lot and it is the first time I have experienced this type of unprofessionalism! I have emailed, text and phoned Alex several times and have had no response in over a month now and there is absolutely no excuse for this! I didn't want to ever have to leave such feedback (hence the reason I left it so long) but I was left with no choice! VERY DISAPPOINTED!!
    Reid Electrics Ltd's reply:

    All the work was completed well as discussed and the client was very happy. The job spec changed on the day but i was happy to accomodate accordingly. The client had not supplied a fitting for the centre light at the time but i said i would create a feed now which was insulated and safe, then return to add this light at no extra charge when time permitted.He also asked for some additional work which i said i would fit in when i have time.I have replied to all his e-mails and reminded him when time permits i will return for the extra work.Not sure why also he would have considered not paying me when i completed all the work agreed?I had no idea that i would have received such negative feedback for a job that was in fact completed well.

I would have no issues in hiring Alex again should I need an electrician.

    Mr Reid was quick to respond to my job and gave me a reasonable quote.
    He was able to offer advice and his calm and confident approach to the work was what won him the job.
    He completed the job efficiently within a short space of time and kept within the original quote. After having completed the job I had to ask him back to make some alerations which he did fitting me in at short notice.

    I would recommend Mr Reid to anyone requiring an electrician who is efficient, reliable,flexible and who is reasonable priced.

    Alex got in touch very quickly after I posted the job on mybuilder and was very communicative and fast to respond to further questions that I had. He was very flexible with timing, arrived on time on the day of the job and replaced my fuse box with the latest model quickly and effectively. After completing the installation work, Alex promptly entered the details of the job onto the NAPIT website. I can definitely recommend Alex and would hire him again for any other electrical work I need in future.

He worked hard and quick and also he is a lovely guy! I will definitely use him again and recommend him to all my friends and family. Thank you Alex.

  • Spotlight change

    Alex has very flexible working hours and can be easily contacted by phone or email. But I would not suggest his service if you'd like to source electrical parts yourself.

    I found the price of the electrical parts (LED lights in particular) quite high. So I decided to source the lights myself. This however, entailed the need for Alex to come 3 times to have them work properly:
    - 1 - to fit the components (in line with quote)
    - 2 - to change the dimmer switch - as the lights flicked - this attempt was unsuccessful (and not charged for)
    - 3 to change the dimmer switch to another type suggested by the supplier I used for sourcing the lights (50£ labour + parts)

    The quote received was accurate, but it did not considered the additional 50£ labour which was charged the 3rd time around to solve the problem. While rightly or wrongly, i assumed the labour for the job was included in the quote and if additional problems arose, they would not cost extra labour. I was told that would be the case only for parts supplied by Alex and not sourced by me.
    Reid Electrics Ltd's reply:

    My cost of parts reflects the quality therefore i do not supply inferior parts.
    Even though i am always happy to fit supplied parts my terms and conditions state clearly that i cannot guarantee those parts and if they do affect any other part of the installation or any other failiure of part of the installation occurs then a charge will be applied.
    I made this very clear to Nicoletta in advance in writing and suggested there may be a compatability issue with the existing dimmer switch unless a compatible once was sourced in advance,if i would have to change this after the original visit then i would have to charge her to my supplied part and subsequent call out however i returned once free to charge to fit a spare switch i had on board.

  • Ceiling lights, new ventilator & CH timer controller

  • lose wire in led strip lighting garden

  • hall ceiling lights don't stay on

    Alex responded and turned up promptly to assess the problem, even though the hall was in darkness. His diagnosis was that the low energy bulbs were faulty and after replacing one with a new bulb, my hall lights are behaving as they should. He refused payment which demonstrates what an ethical tradesman he is. I will not hesitate to call on him again.

  • Install a chandelier in a beauty room.

    Alex was quick to responde to my Ad, was professional, friendly and efficient from the start to finish and did a really good job.

Very happy with the work and will keep him in mind for future work! Thanks a lot Alex!!!

    Alex completed some electrical work recently, to fit some external lights and move and fit one internal light, communication was great from the start, an appointment was arranged quickly to quote for the job and could start the job the next week, price was very reasonable also. Alex completed the job with professionalism and was accommodating with my somewhat "precise" requests. I have some further work that needs doing later this year and will be asking alex to complete. I would recommend him to anyone.

  • Out side sensor light needs fixing

    Alex was friendly, very helpful, knowledgeable and punctual. On investigating the electrical problem he managed to fix it all by locating a hidden switch, and very kindly suggested he would not charge me for his time. I will definitely use Alex again when I need.

  • Ceiling lighting

    I chose Alex because when he came to give me an assessment he wasn't rushed and took the time to explain the problem, gave me options on how to resolve it, agreed to buy all the parts needed and to a one year guarantee on his work. Also I was worried about my hardwood floors and he said he'd make sure to properly protect them, which he did. He came on time did what he could do until he hit a snag that required my builders to do some work first then he came back and finished the job. Also he cleaned any mess at the end of each day he was at my flat. All my ceiling lights now work perfectly. As for the stair lights one has gone out, but I know that when I call him to fix it, it'll get done - I just haven't had the time to follow up.

  • Supply and fit extractor fan

    Alex has just finished fitting our new extractor fan and has done a brilliant job.

    I would highly recommend him!

  • Installing two ceiling pendants

    Alex installed two ceiling pendants, one of which involved relocating the position of the pendant. Alex arrived on time to do the work and completed the job within a two hours, exactly how long he estimated it would take. He was polite and tidy and took the time to describe what he was doing to help me understand a little more about home electrics. Would definitely recommend.

  • New light fittings and sockets

    Superb! Prompt, listend to what we wanted, a sensible quote, great comunications, and a very professional, neat and high quality job. All in all difficult to fault, and a pleasure to deal with, very highly reccomended.

  • Fit new consumer unit plus associated cabling

    I was very impressed with Alex's work. He had good ideas with regard to overall work, and was quite innovative in ensuring the final cabling was unobtrusive and well laid out. He carried out good quality work, ensuring he left the house tidy at the end of the job. He was also very accomodating, and made time to come again to my place afterwards to connect me to the grid at very late notice. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex, and will be using him for other electrical work going forward.

  • Electrical work needed

  • Internal wiring

    I was very happy with the service provided by Alex. He completed the work that needed doing quickly and at a very competitive price. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alex and would hire him again for any electrical work I might need doing in the future.

  • Changing bathroom light fitting

    Very friendly, prompt, and professional service at a reasonable price. Will use Alex again for any electrical work. No hesitation in recommending Reid Electrics.

  • Broken heated Towel Rail

    Alex came over to assess the job that I posted (within hours of posting it). He checked the rail, boiler, electrics etc and said that the job was not straight forward and would need a plumber. He was professional and knowledgeable and didn't charge me for his time despite being over 1/2 hour. Highly recommended.

  • Install immersion heater circuit

    Alex arrived on time (actuall, early!) for both his initial visit, and to do the work. He obviously knows what he's doing, and did the work efficiently and competantly. with no time wasting.

    Running the cable for my immersion heater proved more difficult than we had anticipated, and required making holes in both some plasterboard and a wooden stair tread. All nicely repaired afterwards and the carpet relaid well enough.

    Alex spent over 5 hours doing this job, after quoting me for 4 hours work. He kept to the original price as agreed, although his mark-up on the parts seems rather a lot.

    Despite running late, Alex seemed to do all the required safety tests on my RCB properly and was happy to explain to me what he was doing.

    Alex failed however to vacuum up after the job, leaving fine dust where he had scraped paint off several pipes for earth bonding, and lots of carpet fluff where the carpet had been raised. I might have expected hme to have done this, but since he had already overrun his estimate I don't really mind.

    Generally, Alex came across as a nice guy, a good communicator, honest, and competant. He also likes payment by bank transfer, rather than wanting cash, so no obvious fiddles going on with HMRC (unlike some tradesmen I've used in the past).

  • Fix light socket

    I was very happy with the service provided by Reid Electrics. Alex arrived promptly, quickly ascertained the problem with my faulty light socket and was able to complete the job within half an hour. Would definitely recommend.

  • Fix fault in ceiling lights. Fit outdoor lighting

    I've dealt with a few electricians in Chiswick (and London more generally). Alex has impressed me the most. The work was exactly what I wanted done (outside light and sockets with well hidden cables; tidying cables in attic; and fixing faulty interior lights) and was quickly and cleanly completed. As I wasn't at home when the work was done, it was important to me that I could leave someone with my wife and daughter who was polite and trustworthy -- Alex was more than satisfactory in this regard. There was a minor unanticipated problem that emerged after Alex had left -- this is normally when it proves difficult to get in touch with your electrician. But Alex was immediately back and fixed things over the weekend. I'll try to use Alex exclusively for any electrical work in the future.

  • Consumer unit, light fittings & electrics inspection

    Alex fitted an RCBO, 4 light fittings and 3 sockets. The work was done quickly and well. We will definately use Alex again for any more electrical work.

  • Kitchen Lights

    Alex is a professional and likeable electrician - he arrived punctually, explained what the options were and carried out the work to a very high standard - even cleaning up after himself. And as an an added bonus the work was very reasonably price. I will use Alex again for any electrical needs and would have no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends.

  • Hard wire a washing machine

    Excellent work! Alex far exceeded my expectations; he arrived promptly and undertook a very fidgety job with outstanding results. He was very professional and accomodating. First class job in every way...and he will most certainly be my first port of call for anything 'elctrical'. Thank you once agian Alex.

  • Exterior Lighting

    HI,

    Alex was asked to perform two tasks and only 1 was completed successfully. He failed to complete two of the tasks and we have been chasing for completion for two weeks and have not received a solution yet. I had to fix one of the items due to him not connecting the cables to the terminal on the back of a shaver socket. I would suggest if you hire this electrician then you test everything for a week before paying him.

    Thanks
    Joseph
    Reid Electrics Ltd's reply:

    The cables on the back of the shaver socket were working on completion of the job also the client was upset because he accidently paid me twice on a bank transfer and it took a few days for my bank to clear the funds back.I also offered to return to check the shaver socket but the client was not happy with the dates I offered.I also re-wired the clients boiler supply free of charge as it was conected inappropriately and not up to regulations.I finally re-wired the light they supplied free of charge as this was also not working as they wanted.

  • Re-wiring 2 bedroom flat in London

    We lost all lighting over Christmas and an emergency call-out Electrician not only couldn't fix the problem after working on it for 3 hours, he advised us that we'd need a complete re-wire. We posted the job of re-wire on My Builder and had Alex around to quote. Within moments of being in the flat, he identified what he suspected would be the cause and was happy to quote, even though the job was clearly less involved than a re-wire. Turned out, his suspicions were correct and he was able to replace a set of lights in the bathroom and fix the wiring, all within 3 hours, at a very competitive rate. He is very polite and patient in explaining the probblem. Highly recommend and will consider Alex for all future jobs.

  • Dimmer Switch Installation

  • Replace wall lamps/change ceiling spots with chandelier

    Excellent work. Highly recommended. Punctual, polite and efficient !

  • New lights and powerpoints in bedroom

    Alex provided a very competitive quote for the work to be carried out. He is professional, friendly and will work to solve any issues that come up. We were very pleased with his work and have since hired him again to carry out a complete overhaul of our outdoor lights. We have no problem in referring Alex.

  • Fixing / replacing spotlights

    Alex was professional and friendly. He arrived on time for both the quote and job, and completed the job as required. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex to others in the future.

  • A number of "small" electrical jobs

    Alex was very punctual and trustworthy, he did a very nice job on "sinking" my AV cables and sorted out all of the "little" jobs. Would recommend.

  • a few minor bits needed

    Alex had to cancel my job with 2 days notice. Don't know why
    Reid Electrics Ltd's reply:

    I did cancel but gave alternative dates reason was I had to install additional feeds to previous job as client had to move in to their property. Unfortunately this had an effect on the next job which I also offered a discounted price for the inconvenience caused.

  • Rewiring of 1 bed flat

  • Moving fuse board

    Alex did a fantastic job in moving my fuse box from one side of a wall to another and removing several switches that were no longer required. Alex was extremely professional in his approach to the job - and stood out for the interest and attention to detail he showed in investigating the job when he came to quote. He was very flexible in offering times to come round and give a quote and do the work and provided a very comptetitive quote. I was very impressed with Alex's approach and the finish (the job involved repalastering an area of a wall) was excellent.

    On top of doing a great job Alex is a thoroughly nice guy and very trustworthy and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again and recommend him to friends.

  • re-wiring house

    Alex is absolutely brilliant.
    The quality of his work is excellent and communication is really good, he makes sure you understand the options and the benefits of different options. He is really passionate about the job and you can tell takes pride in getting the perfect outcome.
    He is also really flexible, and popped in a few times at the end/beginning of the day to get some things ready for the builders.
    Will use again.

  • earthing and other electric checks

    Alex spent plenty of time checking out the job properly before quoting later the same day. He arrived on time to do the job and was a pleasure to have around the flat. I feel reassured that my electrics are all earthed and safe now, which is a relief. Highly recommend Reid Electrics. Would certainly call on Alex again.

    Alex did an excellent job fitting spotlights in my kitchen. He was prompt, efficient and reliable. He delivered everything promised to a reasonable budget. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or to recommend his excellent service to others.

  • install sockets and wall/ceiling lights

    A fantastic electrician. Efficient, friendly and fairly priced. I will definitely use him again.

  • Electrical safety inspection

    The job became smaller than originally anticipated, and I felt lucky that Alex was still more than happy to quote - and then undertake the work.
    Alex was a pleasure to have in the house - he was professional, really friendly and explained everything he was doing. He came out at quite an unsocial hour, yet the quote remained the same. He was also more than keen to keep costs and time down, and this was very much appreciated.
    I would recommend Alex Reid without hesitation!

  • New consumer unit, fan in bathroom, general modernising

    Alex did a good job and did not take longer than he estimated. The only down side is that he was unable to complete some work that he originally quoted for as it was more dificult than originally thought. This was disappointing but wasnt really the fault of Alex.

  • Relocating light fittings

    Alex was really helpful and did a great job quickly and without any problems. He also came back to alter the height of one of the light fitting which was a great help.
