Derek connected our new summer house to mains supply and installed power sockets and lighting. Work carried out to high standard, neat and tidy. He also replaced old with new security lighting.
Excellent communication from first call to attendance. Reminders and prior warning of attendance. Michael is a personable chap, friendly and happy to explain any questions I had. I fully recommend them and shall use them again in the future
Derek has done multiple jobs for me over the last few years. Always a great service and friendly face. 10/10
Beckley Electrical are an exceptional organisation who provided us with professional and personable services. The work they carried out was done with care and competence. They were efficient and reliable. You won't do better!
Derek is a brilliant electrician; he is extremely knowledgeable and a hard worker. He recently worked with my kitchen installer to install/move power points. He is very approachable and polite; it was a pleasure to use his services.
Used Derek at Beckley Electrical to update our kitchen ceiling spotlights and old transformers. Was quick , clean and reliable and very friendly. Very happy customer. Explained everything very well. No damage to the ceiling either ! Would definitely recommend and use for any other electrical jobs we need doing. Micheal in the office is easy to talk to and really knows his electrical stuff. Very refreshing!
Very impressed by the service provided by Dereck in the repair of our electrical box. He arrived on time,explained the problem before fitting the replacement part. Very happy to pass on his company to friends with an electrical issue.
