East West Electrical recently did some external work for us, fixing an external socket and putting sockets into a summerhouse. Paul was easy to communicate with, friendly and efficient. We’re delighted with the standard of work provided, would definitely use East West Electrical again and would recommend to others.

Paul replaced old, inefficient storage heaters. He did the work quickly and arranged for the old heaters and bricks to be taken away. He was extremely patient in answering all my questions. My new heaters provide a level of comfort I haven’t experienced for years.

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.

Thank you to Paul and the team for replacing and fitting bathroom lighting and an extractor fan. The job was done really smoothly and we're very happy with the results. Paul was on-time on each visit, worked cleanly, respected COVID-19 procedures and was considerate given that we were also working from home. We would happily recommend Paul and the team.

I used East West Electrical to update my old fuse box. Paul arrived as arranged and fitted new consumer units as requested. He fitted a new earth where one was missing, free of any extra charge and left a nice neat job. I would definitely use East West again and can recommend Paul highly. Its nice to know there are still good, reliable and reasonably priced Tradesmen who take a pride in their work. Thanks East West.

I needed to get an EICR report to become an landlord. This is new to me but I have to say that Paul was helpful, professional and proficient. Following the report he provided there was changes that were required to the property. Paul didn't push me to give him the work but after a quote I was more than happy to offer him the job and I'm happy with the work he carried out and I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family.

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.

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.

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.
