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.

We had our home recently renovated and East West Electrical have rewired and upgraded our property throughout. Communication was excellent and timescales met. Every step of the job was explained in detail and advice was given on fittings and fixtures, costs and timeframes. We couldn't have asked for a more efficient, first class service. Would happily recommend and use again.

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.

Small job but important (to me).
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. Great value for money and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good reliable electrician

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.
