Summary:
Instal new switch board after 5 yearly inspection.
Comments:
Excellent, Barry gave us the results of the inspection promptly including the work which had to be done and the work that was "optional" having explained all the reasons for his suggestions. Such was our confidence in him that we immediately told him to get it all done.
Highly organised and efficient.
Summary:
Burnt out socket. Fuse box kept tripping.
Comments:
Initially we had a burnt out kitchen socket which Barry replaced, but late afternoon 7th Jan fuse box tripped and we had no power to sockets. No cooking, no fridge/freezer no wifi for home schooling! Barry was at the front door within 30 mins and had us up and running.
Returned a coupled of days later as problem seemed intermittent and began testing all sockets until he located the fault. Fuse tripped again first thing Saturday morning (6th Feb) - called Barry at 8:30 and he responded by 9am. We had by then identified that the issue was our faulty kettle.
Barry has come to our rescue directly on all occasions. Extremely considerate and polite. Tenacious when trying to find the fault. Reasonbly priced and always wears a mask.
Summary:
My heating, hot water, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer had stopped working this morning. Having checked the fuse board I found one of the switches had tripped, but I could not get it to stay up.
I have sole care of my very elderly Mother so needed help to get the problem fixed.
I phoned Barry Didcott at Direct Electrical Ltd, and he was with me within the hour.
Comments:
Barry was very thorough, and eventually found the fault, then was able to get everything back up and running for me.
Thank you Barry for coming out to me so quickly and making sure that we had our heating back. I am so grateful, and will certainly keep your number to hand.
Summary:
Return power to ring main.
Comments:
Fantastic service from Barry today, the day before Christmas and our sockets tripped out, no heat or fridge. However Barry arrived quickly and got straight to work. The job turned out to be extremely complex but Barry wouldn't be beaten and had us up and running in a couple of hours. We couldn't be more pleased! There is more work needed so we will be getting him back in the new year. A very pleasant man to deal with.
Summary:
Barry gave us our lights back in the living room!! It had been quite some time since they last worked and he did a fantastic job with our recessed lighting that had been very badly fitted. He went out of his way to get it finished quickly so that I could actually see.
Comments:
Replied so quickly and made time in his busy diary to visit. He actually did the same for my neighbour and fitted her in even though his diary was full. Really great job and very friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate in recommending Barry. Great job. Totally professional.
Summary:
Installed a new electric vent, removed redundant transformer & conduit, replaced unsafe double socket in rooms on 1st floor & completed a safety check on a bank of LED lights in the bathroom.
Comments:
Barry Didcott is, in my opinion a consumate proffessional, starting with the safety checks he made before looking at the actual jobs I wanted him to quote for. His prices were competitive. Proof of his qualifications & status as a member of the NECEIC were made available to me. He worked methodically, safely & tidily.
It is with a sense of relief that I found "Direct Electrical" to be trustworthy, skilled and a pleasure to do business with.
Summary:
Complete upgrade of burglar alarm system.
Comments:
From the initial inspection, Barry was able to advise on the options available to us, from straightforward like for like replacement, to full system expansion. Once we'd agreed on the work to be undertaken an appointment was scheduled for the work to be performed. Barry arrived on time and performed the upgrades to a very high standard. It was very easy dealing with Direct Electrical, we have felt very confident we're in safe hands throughout the entire process. Highly recommended.
Summary:
Replace the light on the rear corner by the back door with new flood lights c/w PIRs.
Comments:
We had one light on the corner of the back / side of the house which stopped working and we had been meaning to replace this with a PIR light for several months; we finally got round to contacting Barry recently and had the work booked in for yesterday afternoon.
Barry arrived on time and got straight onto the job in hand, working quietly and meticulously. Two new PIR's are now in place - one is activated if you exit the back door to the side of the house and the other when you turn the corner to the back of the house.
We tested them last night and both are working perfectly and provide the exact amount of brightness we required.
Thank you Barry, another perfect job carried out!
Summary:
Replaced old damaged consumer unit with new unit.
Comments:
