What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Plymouth, Dave Prout has built a reputation through repeat recommendations for electrical work ranging from fault finding and socket replacements to the installation of external lighting and electric vehicle charging points. A number of reviews mention his reliability and punctuality, with several noting that he confirms appointments in advance and arrives when he says he will, sometimes attending the same day a problem is reported. A detail many reviews return to is the standard of finish: customers describe sockets and switches set neatly into new plaster without damage, cables tidied away and a clean result that needed no touching up.

Communication before, during and after the job is praised, as is the advice offered on further work, whether that involves resolving power loss across separate rooms or planning additional improvements. Pricing is described as fair and reasonable for the quality delivered. Dave himself is named frequently and characterised as friendly, professional and easy to deal with, and reviewers note that he works precisely even when technical challenges arise. The recurring theme is dependable workmanship, clear communication and a tidy finish, whether the task is a minor fitting or a larger installation.

Dave is a very professional electrical engineer. We hired him initially to swap out two light fittings but were so impressed with his work that we went back for a more extensive installation. Over two days Dave completed the wiring of an outside cabin that needed sections of armoured cable, and the installation of several sockets and light fittings. We hope to re-engage Dave in the near future for even more work. We highly recommend him.

Would highly recommend. Dave was absolutely brilliant. Set my light switch into new plaster with not even a scratch, tidied up some other cabling that needed removing, and advised on some other bits and pieces for further down the line. Communication was excellent and so was price. Super friendly as well 👍

Dave replaced an underworktop socket that had broken away from the plasterboard. A much better replacement. Also fitted a new outside PIR light with an external junction box which was not fitted on the previous fitting. Very pleased with his work and would thoroughly recommend him.
