Good phone manner in office. Friendly and reliable on the job. Recommended!

The guys went through the work in advance and were more than willing to offer advice and work in changes to the initial work without any problems or increasing costs.

Nice to have friendly, clean trade that was willing to work co-operatively with us as customers to get the best result, build and outcome.

Would use again without hesitation!

Good system of providing a quote online and IES leave you alone to contact them to get the work done.

Ideal Electrical Solutions perform my annual gas check and are always efficient, responsive and good value for money.

Ideal Electrical Solutions carried out a full rewire in a city centre bar, this was carried out during the night after close as we wanted to keep the bar open during the day and at night for our regular custom.

IES have carried out a PAT test in our commercial building, all work went to plan and we received an electronic test certificate along with the invoice - happy with the service provided

Good company to deal with. Was happy with the work they did. Price was reasonable. Would use again.

We had some old light switches replaced back in May and IES did a wonderful job! Quality of service was brilliant and completed for a very reasonable price.

2. Add additional sockets.

Fantastic service from Ideal Electrical Solutions - prompt, efficient and great price. Would definitely use them again and would happily recommend them to anyone.

Had 3-4 smaller jobs needing done. I was able to take photos & measurements of what I wanted replaced/sorted & email those details to IES - this was a lot better than waiting in for someone to come & quote. I had my 'online' quote back within a few hours & was able to book an electrician 'online' right away. From initial enquiry to the jobs being done took 3 days - fast & efficient service - will definitely use again.

Small domestic job well done by pleasant and efficient worker.

Rewire. Great job done by some very reliable tradesmen.

I was very impressed with the professional approach from initial enquiry right through to completing the job. Which was done ahead of schedule and on budget.

Great service. Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Very courteous staff and work undertaken when scheduled. I would use and recommend IES in future.

I had an electric fire removed. Really easy to arrange, arrived on time at a convenient time for me and worked quickly. Invoicing and payment also very straightforward.

I just needed some wall plugs moved and installed. IES were happy to do this even though it was a small job. They arrived when they said they would. Were very efficient, completed the job and tidied up after. Prices were fair. I definitely would recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

We were moving house and required work done urgently to solve an electrical problem that was highlighted on the survey. Ideal Electrical attended to the problem promptly and thoroughly and we would continue to use them in we still lived in the same area.

Great service, would definitely use again.

Top notch !

We needed an overhaul of the electrics in the house - we'd had problems with tripping circuits and an unusually large number of burnt out lights. IES were professional, careful and clearly explained what they found, and then put some really well worked out options on the table for us. Upshot, a stable system and lights that don't go pop. The charges were fair and reasonable - good value for money.

First class, got in touch via google, fast efficient and professional, would highly recommend!

Change of wall sockets, and new electricity meter installed. Work completed within time slot and job done to my satisfaction.
Polite and professional workers.

I only needed a couple of light fittings installed and was unsure as to whether the job might be too small for the company. However, when I phoned they made it absolutely clear that they were very happy to come and do the work. The guy arrived on time the next day - he was really pleasant and swiftly installed the lights. He then offered to remove all the wrappings from each individual droplet of glass on the fittings (there are loads of them) but I let him off doing that. Very happy customer.

As a landlord of 4 properties in Edinburgh, I have used Ideal Electrical for a number of different services in order to keep the properties safe and compliant. In every case I needed their help they were both responsive and professional.

I've had various jobs done by Ideal. Great service and great customer care. I would highly recommend Mark and his team.

Mark and his team carried out the work to a very high standard in a professional way, leaving a fantastic job as promised. Can’t fault them and would never look any further for an electrical contractor.

New light and switch. Very efficient arrangement of the appointment.

I had new fusebox, lights moved and wiring checked.

First class professional and friendly service. They even hoovered up after themselves :)

I used Ideal Electrical Services to PAT test quite a lot of filming equipment that arrived from Indian for a film shoot in Scotland. The team at Ideal Electrical Services were very professional, helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend this company.

We have just had new LED lighting installed in my business to help reduce our escalating electricity bills. Mark came out with one of his lighting experts and looked over the premises and discussed the options. Having received the quote from Mark I agreed to proceed and the installation took place this week. Mark and his team were brilliant to deal with. Friendly and professional staff. Thank you for the quick and efficient service as always. The new lighting has really brightened up our workspace!

Very happy with Ideal electrical solutions, they came out quickly, the chap did the work with a polite, professional attitude, and the prices were very reasonable.

although a small job they got the job done quickly

As a property management company we need reliable, trustworthy contactors that charge a reasonable rate. We have found Ideal to be all of these and more which is why they are on our permanent contractors list.

There was a pesky little problem with a light socket Ideal came out quickly and fixed it replacing the fitting very cleanly and efficiently. Very grateful for speedy, reasonable priced resolution

I had IES undertake landlord safety checks and fitting of hard wired smoke detectors. Very professional and reliable service.

I have had various work done in flats to meet with H.M.O., standards
And also at my own house, always found them to be efficient and prompt, clean and tidy

The work which was done was to replace 4 existing gear trays to the existing fittings for lighting the common stair in an Edinburgh tenement. The work was done to a high standard and did not disturb the existing decoration nor damage the existing wiring. They provided a much brighter and more efficient way of lighting the common stair.

Carried out Flat electrical safety check and PAT on appropriate appliances.
Company were quick, professional and delivered exactually what was asked for and promised.

Ideal Electrical Solutions installed two external lights on my property as well as replacing a shaver outlet in the bathroom. The workmen arrived at the time agreed and work diligently . The nature of the work meant that there was a fair amount of dust internally and on completion the men tidied up and removed all waste material.

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

Jay

Small job partially completed. Estimate for continued work too high.
Well organised appointment system and friendly staff.

Fitting lighted mirror in bathroom. Carried out as requested . arrived for appointment on time.

Friendly punctual. Good work

Ideal Electrical have performed electrical testing and installation works for us..we are a company based in the south and use Ideal Electrical to sub contract our work in Edinburgh, they have always been and continue to be great value, reliable and deliver all work to a high standard, i reccomend them highly.

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.

great job done fast and as agreed with good communication all the time.

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 *

Fitting electrical shower and checking safety

No problems and were there when they said they would be. No complaints.

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.

cannot remember actual cost - definately use again

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.

Installation of electric fires and wiring a new socket.
Efficient, professional and very reasonable price. Good communication about minor delay to work being done.

Efficient and value for money service for landlords needing electrical testing.

Very happy with the work carried out, great price and advice on buying/installing a new cooker.

Ideal electrical have done several jobs in my workplace. Always top quality service and work done on time. Wouldn't use anyone else!

Have used Ideal Electrical many times. Would recommend.

This company rewired a tenanted house when it was occupied as the tenants did not want to vacate the property. it was explained to them that this would be a difficult project however they were prepared to accept some disruption as the property suited all their requirements. The whole job was undertaken on as thoroughly professional basis and when the tenants returned home in the evening everything was back in place and very clean and tidy. A very decent pleasant workforce who were always ready to adapt as necessary and they were very well supervised.

Ideal have worked with us on numerous projects, always providing a high level of service. We look forward to working with them in the future

Exceptional service from IES. I have now used them several times with different engineers and every one of them has been corteus, reliable and friendly. I would not hesitate in giving them keys to my house if i wasn't in at the time. You can see why they have so many awards to their name. A great team off professionals from the guys in the office to the guys going round the city doing the work. Keep up the good work IES

Had an extension done and was on look out for someone to do some wiring etc for us. Quite a few people I know recommended ideal electrical solutions very highly and I checked them online and a lot of positive reviews online so I booked them.

Could not be any happier with the service, right from My first call to the office up to the visits from the staff. All very nice to work with and excellent value for money.

Highly recommend Ideal Electrical Solutions

All work carried out to an excellent standard

very professional and most importantly clean and tidy. helpful and informative through the job, will and have used them again.

Ideal Electrical Solutions came when my boiler pretty much 'blew up' and the emergency heating engineer advised I needed an electrician. IES were recommended and, when I explained the circumstance - that the thermostat had overheated and blown to the point of smoking, they came in less than two hours and checked/replaced the related sockets and wiring, making it safe for the heating engineer to replace the thermostat.

They were extremely helpful and efficient and spoke directly to the heating engineer about the work required. The electrician explained the difference in the wiring/socket he had used so I had no concerns at all and there was no mess left after the work was finished

The charge was very reasonable and I would have no hesitation in using IES again or recommending them to anyone else. They gave me complete peace of mind that things were done correctly and I wouldn't have an 'exploding' boiler again.

PAT testing, EIC report and necessary remedy work, EPC
Quick to respond. Easy to work with. Friendly office staff.

Whilst the work we required to be done was fairly straightforward, I’d have no issues recommending Ideal Electrical to others or using them again. Office staff were pleasant to talk to and offered reassurance, and the electrician who came out to us was friendly and professional.

The engineer arrived on time and was polite and professional. The work was completed to a good standard. Highly recommend

I used this company to fit a new fuse-box in my flat and they were very professional and did a good job at a reasonable price. Will be using their services again and happy to recommend them.

Kitted out our flat to rent out. Upgraded fuse box and fitted smoke alarms to required specifications. Efficient, friendly and professional service.

Annual PAT testing carried out by this firm. Very efficient company who contacted my tenant, booked in a convenient time for visit and kept me informed throughout.
Would recommend and use again.

Replaced consumer unit in a rental property and upgraded lighting and fire alarms. Efficient and at a price more than 10% lower than my letting agent's tame contractor proposed. Would use again.

Our job was done quickly and efficiently. The bill and required certificate were emailed to me immediately and I particularly liked the facility to pay online. Would use again.

The power switch for our electric shower had burnt out and we were without a shower. The electrician came out at 7am as requested. He was bang on time and carried out the work quickly and efficiently. I am really pleased with the service we received.

Another great job done by IES, from arranging the works to having it completed within 24 hours. Electrician and admin staff very friendly and helpful.

Ideal Electrical Solutions have always carried out reliable work as in the 4 years I've known of them. Down to earth and straight forward.

Landlord electrical safety check. The check was carried out and the onlt issue identified was a couple of gromets and blank covers missing from the consumer unit. they proposed to charge me £40 to rectify this. They also priced the fitting of smoke alarms which i didn't ask for as this was already arranged to be completed.

I contacted the company about the charge and thery said if they didn't rectify the fault the report would be a fail and if i fixed the issue myself they would retest and charge me for this at the full price again.

The parts required to rectify the issue cost less than a pound and only required to be pushed in place nothing technical.

I fitted these items myself and the property is now safe and complies.

Disappointed the company could't do a quick retest ie look at the inserted blanks without charging.

I now use a electrician who has a bit common sense and realises the importance of customer satisfaction which in turn leads to customer loyalty.

Electrical compliance work on rented flats. Good, reliable and knowledgeable firm.

Ideal Electrical Solutions performed our 5 yearly certification for our business premises, their service, communication and price were all excellent and I have no qualms in recommending them for any work.

I own a property in Edinburgh but live in England. I have used IES several times in the past 6 years for all our electrical installations and maintenance. I have found them reliable, helpful and reasonably priced. They have carried out a good standard of work and I will use them again when I need to’ 5*

Excellent communication and work carried out.

We needed some electrical work done for the new kitchen. The guys came on time and managed a very tricky job with some ceiling lights. I've used Ideal for all my electrical work and I thoroughly recommend them.

We have had various jobs done at our restaurant and they have always carried out the work quickly and efficiently and at a reasonable price and with a good quality finish. I would definitely recommend this company.

Great company!

Having recently moved I'd asked IES to conduct a number of jobs around the flat, including updating 3 old fuse boxes for a completely new system. All of the work was completed extremely quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend the team at IES, they delivered on everything and more. Thanks again!!

They installed an extra power point in a bedroom. Can’t fault them in terms of service and the quality of the work done.

IES carried out a safety check and some upgrading of my electrics in April 2018. I found them administratively organised and responsive, and pleasant and easy to deal with both in the office and on the job. A couple of minor snagging issues were promptly and efficiently dealt with. But for those I'd have given full marks.

‘Excellent service for Fire alarm, EICR and PAT testing work and certification.’ 5*

PAT testing on this occasion but have used IES over many years for various electrical jobs and have always been extremely satisfied with their service. Would highly recommend.

I had a couple of extractor fans fitted with no problems at all. I would definitely recommend.

Ventilation work, executed professionally and in a timeous manner. Definitely will use again.
