What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Homeowners in Sunderland who have commissioned everything from a complete rewire to a small addition describe consistently positive experiences with James Carman and his team. Punctuality emerges as a defining feature, with reviewers noting that agreed times are honoured and any delay communicated beforehand alongside a revised arrival slot. The standard of finish attracts frequent praise, whether the task involves extra sockets, tracing a fault to its source, fitting bathroom lighting and ventilation, or replacing an electric hob; cables are described as run neatly and work areas left spotless.

Clear explanations recur as a theme, with customers valuing the time taken to talk through each stage and answer questions afterwards. Fair pricing comes up repeatedly alongside speedy completion, including for a domestic charging point installation. Named team members James and Josh are described as friendly and approachable, and the same trustworthiness is cited by those who have used the firm for inspection reports, garden lighting and a summer house supply. A detail many reviews return to is the readiness to return and resolve matters, with an unexpected circuit fault traced and sorted during a socket job. Advice given on larger projects, such as a full rewire, is repeatedly commended.

Great service, moved and also added some sockets including an outside electric socket, turned up on time (even the morning after the England v Mexico game). Very tidy, made as little damage as possible really happy with the work he has done. Would 100% recommend and I will be using again in the future.

Several jobs were completed promptly and in a clean and tidy fashion. Details such as all fittings’ screw heads facing one direction was appreciated and marked out attention to such elements. Mr Carmen offered a very competitive estimate along with advice and suggestions for future electrical work.

Attended first appointment as promised. Detailed discussions about best way to do the job we wanted. Attended on the day promised at the time promised. Official quotes and invoices sent. Cannot recommend enough - a tradesperson who keeps appointments, sticks to his word, helps and advises and does an amazing job. We’ll definitely be using again and can heartily recommend him for any electrical work you need doing.

James came to add some sockets and an outdoor light, when an existing fault was found with the circuit he diligently traced this back to the source and sorted it all out. Very professional and friendly. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for an electrician!

I have used James for multiple repairs and EICRs. James could not be more helpful. He always turns up on time and explains everything extremely clearly. He answers any questions you may have. James is honest and fair and a pleasure to work with. He is conscientious and does the job properly. Very professional and I would certainly recommend James and his team.
