We’ve had spotlights, cabinet lights and pendants put all downstairs and they’re perfect, the spotlights were recommended by Sparham Electrical, they weren’t overpriced and he got exactly what we wanted. Couldn’t praise enough.

Top quality electrician, friendly and professional. Thanks so much for sorting out the unknown wiring in our loft and making sure everything was safe and up to standard.

Tomb World Google · August 2026

Job was done in a timely manner, very courteous and professional. Job was done to a very high standard. Even offered a bit extra on top just for Quality of Life, which shows a standard not set by others. Very highly recommended. Thank you for the work done.
