Paul fitted the new smoke alarms at my mums house. He supplied the materials and fitted them all in less than hour.
Excellent service - reliable and professional fitting at a very competitive price.
I would definitely recommend their services and would not hesitate to contact him again for any electrical work.

I had to contact an emergency electrician as I had smoke coming out of an electrical socket and panicked. I phoned East West Electrical and Paul told me what to do and was able to calm and reassure me. Sean came out the following morning and replaced the wiring and the socket.
Great service and advice and very reasonably priced too. I highly recommend them.

I have just had interlinked Smoke and Heat alarms installed in to my flat by Paul of East West Electrical.
I cannot recommend them enough for quality of service and they were one of the lowest quotes. It took no time at all to complete the task. Paul was a lovely chap and talked me through what he was doing and how the alarms would work. He then guided me on best bulbs/lamps to use to replace halogen as well as sort my wobbly light in hallway. I feel this was an excellent, efficient, professional service going over and above what was expected and have recommended them to my family and friends. I will certainly use them again if I need anything else electrical completed.

Cheers Paul for completing the ROINTE HEATING installation project at our Estate Agency office at Harrison Road. Another great East West Electrical job. Nice work - the creaky old storage heaters ditched for slick, modern controlled units that'll keep everyone warm and happy.

Paul arrived at our agreed time and extremely efficiently installed 3 Smoke Alarms and 1 Heat Alarm to enable us to comply with the new Scottish Government regulations.
We were very pleased with the work that was carried out and would have no hesitation in recommending Paul as a first class Electrician and to be our first port of call for any future electrical work we require to be carried out.

Shower switch electrics had blown. Emailed a few traders and East West were really prompt with a reply. Gave a more than reasonable quote in comparison to other quotes received and were more than accommodating to carry out the works when it was convenient for us. I cannot recommend this company highly enough for their service from start to finish. Will be the first company I use should I need any further works done in the future. Excellent service all round.

I had light fittings changed and upgraded, smoke/heat detectors replaced and small electrical jobs around the house. Paul has also done a number of jobs in my rented properties.
I have used Paul for around a year and throughout the many jobs he has done he has done them within a good timescale, turns up when he says he will - almost unheard of these days - carries out the job diligently, cleaning up after himself and has kept me informed of everything he’s doing.
He is the most trustworthy tradesperson I have used and will continue to use.

Paul came out as an emergency when out ceiling lights wouldn't work and the consumer box didn't trip. He was brilliant and worked out what had happened in minutes and fixed it. He will come back to replace the consumer box and quoted a good price. From start to finish, everything was more than expected. Would highly recommend.

Spoke to Paul beginning of April 2021. First date available Friday 30th. Turned up on time rechecking what was required a couple of days before. Did two of the easy jobs and said he needed to take advice on a fan issue in the kitchen. Phoned him two weeks later. He said he had not had a reply from his contact. Thereafter I have heard nothing. If you want the easy jobs done he’s your man. This is now 9th June.

Paul recently fitted 2 outdoor power sockets for me. He replied promptly to my initial enquiry, arrived when he said he would and explained where he could fit the power points so that they were accessible and could be fitted with minimal drilling inside the house.
The job was completed to a very high standard and Paul tidied and hoovered leaving no trace of any mess. He also showed me how to access the sockets and ensure they were kept water tight.
I’ve already recommended Paul to a friend and will definitely use him again in the future.
(Picture of outdoor socket is largely obscured by the dog but shows you the great workmanship of how it’s been fitted)

East West Electrical replaced stair lighting within a block of flats , and went out of their way to slot us in before the holiday period knowing the dark stair is a safety hazard.
I have used them several times and have no hesitations in recommending them.

The spotlights in our shop went off on Saturday last week, and I was desperate to get them fixed as it's the busiest time of the year for us. The shop needed to look at its best. However, I didn't expect to find someone to fix the lights so quickly, especially after phoning a couple of other local companies without getting an answer . To my surprise, The gentleman from East West Electrical came about an hour after I made the phone call. This has never happened before! I was delighted!
The job was very professionally done. Couldn't recommended this company highly enough. Will definitely use them again.
Thanks so so much.

I needed to replace my back garden outside light. Saw the excellent reviews on Edinburgh Trusted Trader and called Paul. I asked if he could also supply the light as I would not know what was the best/right option. He asked for the size of the garden and gave me a date and time he could come a week later. The light is fantastic, 500% better than the one which was replaced and it exactly covers my garden thus avoiding any problems for my neighbours. All done without me having to do any research, the price was fair. I have no hesitation in recommending East West Electrical and will use them again if/when I have a need.

Job was to run armoured cabling from mains board in house, under house and through garden to provide power to garden room. Paul came round and sized the job and worked through how best to do it with me. Quote was reasonable. East West did a professional job on the day and i am happy with it. Would use them again and recommend them.

Stairwell light died leaving us in darkness.
Paul was polite, efficient and extremely reasonable.
The job was done exactly when he said it would be.
Definitely someone to add to my contacts list if I need an electrician in future.

Paul was fantastic from start to finish in replacing my fuse box. He kept in contact and arrived on time as arranged. Very knowledgeable and friendly and changed a couple of light fittings as extra, which wasn't as straight forward as first thought.

Paul was very reliable in communication & timekeeping.
His initial visit was to assess my new flat & deal with multiple chirping smoke alarms!
He returned to install new sockets, and new smoke alarms.
We have a further visit scheduled, now that I have moved in, to change all my ceiling light pendants.
And he arranges cover while he is on holiday! His colleague came, out of hours, last week when my oven refused to work.
I have no hesitation in recommending East West Electrical, and will be using them again.

The electrician was professional, friendly, helpful and prompt in contacting me after I phoned to enquire about some electrical work we needed doing that week. He couldn't answer the call but texted me a short time after I phoned to say he would phone back asap. I didn't have to wait long, and he arranged to come within a couple of days. He turned up when he said he would and got on with the job. I have no complaints and would use East West Electrical again.

Delighted with the work done by Paul. He fitted new lights to my living room ceiling but being the awkward customer that I was, I wanted one of the lights re-positioned ever so slightly. Paul had to cut through the ceiling in order to do so and did a brilliant job. Clean, quick and efficient. Whilst he was there, I asked him to fix a rubbish job made by another "Electrician" (fixing a squint wall socket). Paul is a nice / friendly guy. So much so I recommended him to my mum to fit her lights too.
Thanks Paul.
Thanks Paul.

We have used East West Electrical for many jobs, for non urgent jobs, it may be a few weeks before Paul is available but his standard of work makes it worth the wait. He tells us exactly what is requiring to be done, the approximate cost and how long it should take. I have no hesitation I'm recommending East west for all electrical work, we have never been disappointed.

You mentioned that you had to wait 4 weeks for me to be available. Like other reputable trades people, I am extremely busy and having to wait is common place. I work to the same timescales and standards regardless of the size/type of job as is evidenced by my other reviews.
