Complicated evaluation of power loss problems in a communal stair was handled with patience and thoughtfulness. A solution to the problems was found and is being implemented quickly.

I had everything in my trade counter PAT tested. Ideal Electrical Solutions were down extremely quick and the member of staff who completed the PAT testing was very pleasant. Great value for money. I have also recommended Ideal Electrical Solutions to my other trade counters within the area. I will definitely use this company again for any work I am needing done

IES renewed our electrical distribution board and also carry out our annual fire equipment inspections. They are easy to work with, flexible in their approach to when they did the work, and completed the tasks to a high standard.

We had our flat partially rewired. The problem with the electrics only became apparent after we had decorated the flat and I was very concerned about the potential for mess and also about damage to the plasterwork. However, EIS listened to my concerns and managed to plan most of the rewiring by using a cupboard so that the work did not damage the new decor or the Victorian plasterwork. In one room they installed a 'smart switch' to avoid damage to a wall.
All in all, I was very pleased with the work. It wasn't cheap but EIS did what they said they would and saved me from the additional expense of redecorating the flat.

Absolutely delighted with the professional and courteous service received every time I have used Ideal electrical. They are definitely my electricians of choice. When I asked them to quote for a couple of jobs I knew roughly how much I would expect to pay and was delighted when the price came in below my expectations. On the 2nd job they found a part that I already had and the final bill was cheaper than the quote. Friendly and professional and gave great advice. I have no hesitation in recommending them and giving them 5 *

Ideal Electrical replaced my old fuse board with and update board. They also carried out an electrical safety check. I was very happy with the work. They were fast, efficient and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend them.

I have used Ideal Electric Solutions to complete electrical work since early 2013. They have always proved reliable, completing the work to a high quality and charging a fair price. I'm happy recommending them.

We had new lights fitted into our dining room, and as Ideal Electrical are aware we were extremely unhappy with their work. They created a huge channel in the ceiling (not agreed, they were supposed to put the lighting in from the upstairs floor). This created a huge mess of plaster and dust which they neither tidied nor prepared for in advance by putting down a sheet. We found the communication extremely surly and unpleasant following the work and due to this I have scored them poorly and wouldn’t use again.
Thank you for leaving us a review.
I'm sorry that your experience with IES has not been a great one.
From the start IES quoted you to channel the ceiling but we used the wording ‘raggle’ on the quote which is a term used widely in the electrical industry and means channelling. We have now made a conscious effort to explain in detail the full requirement of any job to our customers.
We hope to work with you again in the future and wish you all the best.
