What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Domestic and commercial projects feature prominently in feedback for The Electrical Folks, with a full house rewire following an extension standing out as one of the larger jobs undertaken. Customers describe the workmanship as consistently high in standard, noting the care taken over detail and the tidy finish left behind once the job is complete. Reliability and punctuality come up often, with reviewers stating that appointments are kept and that the team arrives when promised.

Several customers mention clear communication, both in explaining faults and in talking through problems over the phone or by video call, including guidance on a tripped fuse box and an RCD issue resolved through a process of elimination. Fair and reasonable pricing is another recurring theme, alongside the honesty of replacing only the sockets that required attention.

Named members of staff such as Tahir and Muhammad are singled out for patience, professionalism and a friendly manner, with one customer noting that a team member waited for a late tenant at a scheduled appointment.

RCD tripped on December 31st. After patiently guiding me over the phone in an attempt to restore my power, nothing worked. They showed up the next day, January 1st, when usually nothing moves and sorted the issue. Very professional, knowledgeable and punctual. Cannot thank you enough for the provided service.

Although he couldn’t attend in person due to the late hour, he kindly offered to guide me through the issue via video call instead. He was very professional, patient, and clear with his explanations, and in the end we successfully solved the problem with my tripped fuse box. I really appreciated the help and would highly recommend The Electrical Folks.

I had a problem with my RCD tripping and all my downstair lights went off. Spoke with Taheer at Electrical Folks who talked me through the process of elimination to identify and resolve the fault. This was early today morning. Cannot praise him enough for the help. Highly recommended him and his team! All this free of charge!🀩

Really happy with the electrical work done. Everything was sorted quickly and properly. Turned up when they said they would, got the job done without any fuss, and left the place clean and tidy. Friendly, reliable, and reasonably priced. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.
