Great communication from start to end. Very pleased with the work done. The electrician was respectful of property and polite and courteous to us. Even picking up on a safety problem completely unrelated, which he made safe before he left. Can't be faulted. Would very highly recommend. Have used this company on other occasions and will continue to.

We have worked alongside Paul on a number of solar PV and battery storage installations, and they are brilliant to work with. They are consistently reliable, well-organised, and bring an impressive level of Fox inverter and battery knowledge to every project. What really sets them apart is their aftercare and problem-solving—if any technical issues or faults crop up, they deal with the customers excellently and stay until it’s fully sorted rather than walking away. Fantastic communication throughout. Highly recommend them for local solar and battery work!

Got PD electrical to fit a couple of video doorbells. Really happy with the work. They did a great job fitting the doorbells and kept me informed throughout the whole process, explaining everything clearly and providing all the information I needed - it was all a bit more complicated then it should have been due to the eccentricities of the house. Reliable, professional and would definitely recommend them.

Paul was extremely helpful when we were trying to choose which EV charger to purchase - his explanations re use of our solar panels v the grid were very clear and made me finally understand how chargers work with panels. He always answered e mails/ texts quickly and is an absolute mine of information!
Ryan who fitted the charger was also really helpful and thorough. Thankyou both

Paul, ably assisted by Callum, installed a cooker hood and ducting. This involved core drilling through thick walls. They protected the kitchen from dust, worked carefully and precisely, cleaned up afterwards and did an excellent job all round. I was kept informed at all stages of the job from quotation to completion and he was always punctual. No complaints.

Our old fusebox needed replacing and bringing up to modern standards as we had new rooms added and growing needs in the household. We also wanted a way to completely shut down non-essential electrical circuits overnight, saving energy and reducing the amount of electrical interference as we sleep. Paul and the PD Electrical team listened carefully and provided a great solution – a “kill switch” that could give a late-night closedown, whilst keeping essential circuits separated and active overnight.

From the very first call with Paul at PD Electrical right through to the job being finished, the service was excellent. He was friendly, clear, and took the time to explain everything in detail so I fully understood what was needed. No question was too much trouble, and he gave straightforward, confident answers every step of the way. The work itself was carried out with great care and professionalism, and he highlighted a few potential issues that may need attention in the future, even providing a prompt and fair quote for those.
Paul’s knowledge and expertise really stood out, which gave me complete confidence in the work being done. My main problem was the fuse box constantly tripping and cutting power to several circuits at once. Paul recommended upgrading to a modern RCBO consumer unit, which has been the perfect solution — now each circuit is individually protected. This has made a huge difference, especially as I work from home and can’t afford interruptions to my computer equipment.
The new setup gives me real peace of mind knowing everything is up to date, safe, and reliable. I hadn’t even heard of an RCBO before, but now I wouldn’t want to be without one. I’d happily use PD Electrical again and highly recommend Paul for anyone needing a trustworthy, knowledgeable electrician.

I had issues with my fuse-box tripping and was losing about 8 circuits every time, I got Paul round and he advised on a new RCBO consumer unit, which turned out to be the perfect solutions as we now have individual circuit protection. I work from home on the computer a lot and to been having power interruption is just no good for my business. I now have peace of mind knowing its all upgrading, updated and protected. I didn't have a clue what an RCBO was but I now know its a MUST have.

After waiting six weeks for an engineer to turn up from Ohme or Octopus to fit an EV Charger, I decided to try a local company.
Paul came on the afternoon of my call , and provided me with an estimate for installing a EV Charger and upgrading my Electric fuse box. Four days later Charlie & Ryan attended and completed both jobs. The quality of their work was first class, and at a better price than my previous estimates!
An excellent company I strongly recommend!
