The electrician (Pedro) arrived a few minutes early on the agreed day, and was friendly and approachable from the start.
We discussed where the cabling should go, and Pedro gave his opinion, whilst actively listening to my feedback. Then got on with the work.
Disruption was to a minimum even though he had to work across multiple rooms, and Pedro talked me through the work he'd done at the end, and repaired any points due to required drilling.
All-in-all one satisfied customer and the friendly and approachable electrician would make me recommend their services and use them again in the future.

We had a small job done - installation of a new socket. The pre-work discussion (by email) about how this could be carried out was quick and professional, and the electrician who installed the outlet was efficient, polite, and cleaned up thoroughly after finishing. I would highly recommend Keith Gunn, and we will definitely use them again for any future electrical work.

The whole experience was great. We had a very small job installing a couple of light fittings, and the whole thing was done and dusted in less than 24 hours, from making contact to having the work complete. Keith Gunn responded really quickly with a very fair quote and were able to book someone in the following morning. The electrician was prompt, worked very quickly and tidily, and was a lovely guy.

We had 5 light switches & a double socket replaced. I was so pleased with the quality and frindliness of the electrician on that job I asked Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions Ltd to replace the under counter lighting in our kitchen. Once again the quality was exellent and the electrician was friendly and very professional.

Keith Gunn provided very good service all round!
Had some LED light fixtures and an electrical fan I was looking to get installed. I wasn't sure what to put in the online form to book in an appointment, called the support line and they were very helpful.
Had some email exchange before booking an appointment, responses were always prompt.
The actual visit from the electrician was great as well, finished the installations were done well and finished earlier than estimated. The electrician was very polite as well and made sure everything was cleaned and put back into place when finished.
If I'm in need of an electrician again, I'll definitely be going with Keith Gunn!

I had my induction hob replaced by a lovely engineer at Keith Gunn. I was recommended the company by a family member and was highly impressed with their speed of replying and efficiency with organising a slot to come out. Appreciate the fixed hourly rates so not a negative as such, but the whole service only took around 30 mins (which is brilliant!) but just makes the job quite pricey. However, they still came in far more competitive than one, and I'm sure other leading stores. Cannot fault any element of the service and will definitely use again!

This was a fairly straightforward repair to a wiring fault. However the electrician (Dan) arrived punctually, swiftly identified the problem and carried out an effective repair. He was very polite and friendly and left the premises immaculate. Would definitely use again in the event of a future problem.

I had a tricky job to replace a power board unit for complicated 'Ingo Mauer' hanging light unit (flickering flames). One call to Simon and Chris at Keith Gunn and the job was estimated and booked. Dan and Jamie turned up at 08:00 and completed the job within 90 minutes. This is my 6th job with Keith Gunn and each time they deliver. Always my first call for any electrical job in Edinburgh.

Keith Gunn Electrical Solutions provides a standout service with a reliable, can-do attitude. They are quick, efficient, and excel at problem-solving—particularly with complex issues like high-level lighting in challenging-to-access areas that other electricians struggled to resolve. Pedro, the electrician assigned to our project, was communicative, engaging, and worked with impressive speed, ensuring everything was completed to a high standard. Highly recommend for any project needing a skilled and proactive team.

Electricians from this company have visited the house on three occasions in the last year for different jobs, including retrofitting LED lights in the kitchen, replacing a broken socket, replacing downlights in the hall and replacing an extractor fan in the shower room. On each occasion I was happy with the work done; with the efficiency, politeness, helpfulness and courtesy of the guys doing the work; and with being kept informed of what needed done and was being done. They are now my "go-to" electricians.

We had smoke alarm compliance testing, installation of a new fan and new sockets installed by Keith Gunn. The tradesmen were efficient and knowledgeable and arrived on time, or before. They took great care of our property and protected our furniture and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. Would recommend.

We wanted a chandelier light fitting removed and replaced with a standard pendant fitting. Arranging the appointment before hand was a very simple and efficient process and Pedro from Keith Gunn Electrical turned up bang on time and completed the job very quickly. He was very kind and professional, even offering to assist with moving our furniture back into place afterwards. We will definitely use this company in future for any electrical jobs and would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Keith Gunn Electrical Service, attended my flat within two hours of me making an online enquiry. Simon the manger was professional and polite and the team who carried out the work were equally so.
I’d have no hesitation to recommend them, great service KGES!
