James Paul Electrical is described by reviewers as friendly and professional, with neat, tidy work and good communication. Several reviewers mention EICR certificates, EV charger and cooker hood installation, full or partial rewires, fuse boards, lighting, sockets and outside wiring, and some say work was completed on time. One reviewer reports a miscommunication over rigid versus flexible ducting for a cooker hood, which led to last-minute ordering and extra costs, although they were still happy with the installation and would recommend the company. The summary reflects only what reviewers say they experienced, not what the business promises.
Jack did a great job problem solving and fixing all the lights etc that we needed. Friendly, professional, great job, on time would definitely recommend and use again.
Efficient and reliable, great service.
James and Rob were soo helpful and sorted my Gas hob and electrical work really fast, nothing was a problem truly professional
JPE recently completed the installation of an EV charger for me. James was professional throughout, quick to respond to the initial enquiry and accommodating with the date to carry out the work. Neat and tidy installation completed in one day for a reasonable price. I would be pleased to recommend James and use JPE again in the future.
Came recommended from a family member. I wholly agree with that recommendation. It wasn't a large job and clearly the sparky they sent round is technically capable of so much more . But called beforehand on thr day to alert me to timings , turned up professionally dressed,, polite, but also soneone with good sense of humour. The work was completed in no time and the experience all round was extremely positive I would definitely highly recommend the firm, folllowing the 2 jobs we've had done. Price exceptional. Work 10/10, overall demeanour and professionalism alson 10/10. Cheers James and especially Jack! Certainly a massive asset to the company.
I was initially communicating with James about installing a new cooker hood with new duct pipe work and vent to the outside. As there was no existing hood, the install had to be done from scratch and new hole had to be created in the brickwork for the vent. We decided the best route was to go along the ceiling to the closest external wall and have the duct boxed in for aesthetic purposes. James advised he could have the boxing in done but not painted which I was happy with. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 was because of the miscommunication. I had initially asked James to have rigid ducting installed rather than flexible and this was my non negotiable. I had asked James if he wanted me to source the duct work or if he would and he had said he would. Despite this I even sent few links to examples of what I wanted few weeks ahead of time. As I didn’t hear back until few days before the job I assumed James would be ordering the parts as we had agreed he was also going to order the cooker hood we’d chosen. But few days before the job James messaged me saying that he has ordered the flexi duct kit as that was recommended by the manufacturer and would make for an easier install. From my research I was adamant on having rigid ducting as we do a lot of cooking and grease builds up much quicker in the grooves of flexi ducting. This meant that I had to order all the parts for the rigid ducting last minute which meant paying extra for next day delivery to ensure it got here in time for the job. I also had to order from two separate websites due to the time constraint which again added to delivery costs. I then had to pay extra for returns for any of the items which were not used. So this added additional costs to my budget. This could have all been avoided if the communication was a bit more clearer. Additionally, it was hassle to return the flexi duct kit with cost of delivery and James graciously offered to take £20 off the total (purchased for £25). I said it was ok and I’d keep the kit and pay for it. Despite this small blip, Jack was here on the day to complete the job and he did an amazing job! His work was efficient and meticulous and he kept me updated throughout the process and ensured things were done to how I wanted them which I found grateful. For example, the height of the hood (we’re all taller in the family so this was important), the boxing in, placement of the vent etc.We did come across a problem in that the vent hole to the external wall was half through brick and half through roofing tile which made his job a bit more difficult but he handled it like a pro and I was very appreciative. His work was clean and he completed the job in one day. Overall, I would still definitely recommend the company for a job as their work is very good. Perhaps just an improvement for future (and even on my part) is just to check in on the progress of the plans a lot sooner to avoid last minute costs.
James has recently completed a full re-wire for us on a property renovation, providing a great service and very reasonable price - highly recommended.
I’ve used James since 2022, he has carried out electrical work in my home, garden and set up the electrics in my work studio, the work has always been exactly what I wanted and the service has always been exemplary, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services.
James recently carried out an EICR at my property in redhill. Price compared to others quoted was reasonable and he carried out a thorough job. Happy with the service provided
James came to install 2 ovens in our new house and he was super helpful from start to finish. He was flexible around our work hours and was informative over message before hand about what to buy for him to install.

James has undertaken a few pieces of work for me on different occasions. He has performed an EICR certificate, fitted me some LED spotlights & also outside motion detection security lights. He is always polite & professional. I would not hesitate to recommend or use James again.
James and the team provided an excellent service. The work was completed as described, on time and on budget. I highly recommend James for your electrical needs.
It was a blessed relief to find James who is a highly professional and very personable guy. James identified and rewired a cable after a mouse had chewed through the original. James completed the task with skill and good humour. I can highly recommend James and will have no hesitation calling on his services again if needs be.
James and his team installed an EV charger for us. James helped with offering advice about different models and instalation, before direclty sourcing the unit and and Jack came to install the charger the following week. The work carried out was tidy, professional, speedy and very courteous. The price was also very reasonable and any additinal costs were communicated clearly during the job before committing. Would highly recommend James for any electrical work.
Quick response Quick service Neat job Affordable 100% Sure will have his contact for the future
Needed new fuse board as old one was long overdue. Very easy to make an appointment, very friendly, very affordable as well. The gentleman Rob was a pleasure to deal with , very professional and polite. Work was tidy and on time . All the necessary checks had been made before and after installation. I will highly recommend. Definitely I will use them again.
I’ve used James Paul Electrical services to install my EV charger. James was super approachable and helpful when discussing the details of the installation (where would the cable run, where to position the EV isolator, etc) which gave me confidence to go ahead with the job. Jack came round to install it and did a mega job! Cable run was super neat and tidy, and the rest of the installation was straight forward. I really recommend them!
Fast response, very professional, goes above and beyond, clean and tidy. Would recommend for any electrical work!
James was efficient and has great attention to detail. He installed plug sockets, down lights and and did a full rewire of the kitchen. We are really pleased with his work.
Excellent job done
James is a great professional who I have been relying on for the last 5 years with all my electric issues+fixes, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone. He is very knowledgeable in his area of work and offers a great competitive rate.
James was really helpful. Competitively priced, punctual and did a great job. Will use again and definitely recommend.
Absolutely brilliant, saved to my contact list as my new go to local Eletrician, James was quick reliable and reasonably priced. Very good workmanship and ensured the job was done properly.
Absolutely fantastic service! James responded to my call right away and came out the same day to fix my electrical fault. James was very helpful, clearly explained what needed to be done, and resolved the issue quickly. The price was fair and reasonable. I was really impressed with how responsive and professional James was—definitely recommend for anyone needing a reliable electrician.
Quick responses from the company, with clear definition of costs and timeline. Job was carried out by a very friendly chap, who was on time and did a fantastic job and kept us updated with progress and decisions
Top company. James, Jack and their team never fail to go the extra mile. Super friendly and easy to deal with. Will continue to use them and often recommend to others. A*
21Mar25 Absolutely perfect with everything. Jack the electrician arrived most promptly, very competently assessed my EV charger installation. Never stopped working most diligently, fantastic job passing the mains cable from inside the house to outside wall, cannot see it anywhere. Tested system, and handed over charger to Hypervolt for myself to register. I tried another EV charger before, the engineer was so bad I instructed him to leave, his office then called demanding another £360 to finish the job which they hadn't even started!
Outstanding service from James Paul Electrical! They were absolutely fantastic – promptly conducted the ECIR and efficiently provided the certificate. Highly recommend!
Jack did a great job fitting 4 lights fixtures in our house. Took no time at all and price was much cheaper than other quotes we received. Would definitely use James Paul Electrical again and would recommend.
A great job done installing vehicle charger on my house. Very responsive getting a quote and does the work when agreed. Site left really tidy and very happy with the work done.
James and his team carried out a full project electrical install for us. External and internal , sockets, fuse box as part of a major house renovation. The quality of the work was superb. They are an extremely talented team. Throughout the project they were friendly efficient and knowledgable. The end product is superb.
I asked for some rewiring work to be done and EICR. I was very impressed by the quality of work Jack provided. Both James and Jack listened carefully to their customers and understood their requirements very well. Jack patched up the wall and tidied up after he completed the work very well. I’d recommend them anytime!
Fantastic service. Really friendly and efficient. Thank you!
Very efficient, friendly and approachable . Electrical issues quickly sorted and great value for money, thoroughly recommended.
JPE recently installed outdoor wiring for a hot tub for me. Well priced, arrived on time, undertook the required work to a very high standard and left the area clean and tidy. I’d highly recommend them for any electrical work and will definitely be using them again.
Great service: professional, friendly and went above and beyond to get my electrics back up and running!
James was excellent. Very efficient. Sorted the problem within 10 mins. Highly recommended
Excellent and professional service from James Paul Electrical. I called as I had an emergency at home, James was at my house within an hour, identified the fault and fixed it. Knowledgeable and very polite. Highly recommended. Many thanks
Great job. Recommended. Would definitely use again.
James came over and assessed the work we needed doing, and gave a very reasonable quote as compared to some other local electricians. He also went above and beyond the original ask, and quoted to change our thermostat system over to a Nest, which we asked to add on. The work was carried out efficiently, and he also managed to draft in a plumber at short notice for a small cylinder crisis very effectively as well. He kept us informed along the way and did a great job of the work. Thanks James!
A good job on a tricky installation. Thank you. Good communication and patience. I now have safe electrics in my outside cupboard space.
Would definitely recommended James Paul Electrical, James and Jack were very professional and managed to fit us in very quickly! Jack fitted the down lights, I was amazed at how quickly he managed to fit them and what a difference they made to the rooms! We are over the moon with the results. Very affordable and reliable. Would use them for anything we need doing in the future.
Polite, punctual & professional.
James responded swiftly to my query about a faulty immersion heater. He came to ascertain what the problem was and organised the necessary plumber support to complete the repair within a couple of days. I have used the company on previous occasions and would not hesitate to do so in the future. Thoroughly recommended !!
We used James Paul electrical for the home extension work and also to install down lights, led lights and repairs to household electric. James was extremely professional, gave a reasonable price and was prompt to finish the work on time and with a great degree of finesse. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a trustworthy service at a good price
We had a new dining room light fitted with dimmer switch. James was extremely professional and punctual. He also dealt with an unexpected problem effectively and without any fuss or bother. The resulting light is stunning and we are delighted with the effect and function.
Absolutely fantastic service, arrived on time work was done to high standard and even cleaned up. A definite recommendation. Well done the lights look amazing.
Visited to see what was needed sent me a price once I agreed James made contact to arrange job to be done that afternoon. Very professional, clean and job well done. Very pleased with the work snd wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
James completed all our new electrics in our new extension and we have since used him for a few other little jobs such as moving and fitting new light fixtures. We were very happy with the work completed. All completed to a high standard. Easy to get a hold of, always in contact with customer. Would definitely recommend.
The installation was excellent, the work was carried out with professionalism and high standards. I would highly recommend.
We have been using James for a few years. It’s always been a pleasure to work with him. Happy to recommend him to others!
Couldn't recommend more. Polite, efficient and quick to respond. A true professional.
James is a lovely guy who turned up on time and immediately fixed the issue. Can’t recommend him enough!
James was brilliant - able to fix our kitchen lights and did the work really quickly at an extremely reasonable price. I would highly recommend and would go back to James in the future. Thank you
Very happy to recommend James Paul Electrical to all and have already done so! We bought our house, did some minor alterations by adding sockets, also our fuse board’s regular inspection was due. I found James Paul via Google and after phoning a few electricians, it was clear James Paul was the best option. James recommended an EICR inspection survey to assess the condition of the whole property's electrical installation. Lucian arrived as promised on time, he was very professional, friendly and thorough. We were very happy with the service and result of the survey, for our peace of mind. The report recommended that newer fuse boards are better than my 10 year old one, so when the time is right, we’ll be calling James Paul to install a new one for us.
Thank you for our service yesterday. This is the second time we have used this company both times they have been efficient. Thanks
Amazingly professional and reliable. Would most definitely recommend.
Great service, very pleased with the work - thank you
James did a great job - he managed to find a solution for the lighting wiring set up that no other electrician we spoke to could think of. The work was professional, timely and tidy
James was extremely helpful from my very first contact with him via email and was always quick to respond. Mo came and installed my bathroom fan for me. He was prompt, polite and did a very good job. I'm very happy with the fan and my whole experience. I'd happily use James Paul Electrical again.
Great service and reasonably priced. Work completed to a high standard. Responsive, punctual and communicative. Thank you!
I’ve been using James for everything I’ve needed help with in my flat on the electrical side of things since he was recommended to me by a friend some years back. Most issues have involved my immersion heater. He is so helpful and very knowledgeable. He has had to fix a few issues caused by prior trades people and the quality of his work has been excellent and long lasting. He is very good at explaining the issue and what needs fixing and is open and up front on costs. I’ve never felt that his costs have been unreasonable or inflated like I’ve experienced before, which is why I trust him. He is super busy which is a good sign of a decent electrician, yet he will always find the time to help swiftly when emergencies happen. I’ve recommended him to multiple people due to the quality of his work and how responsive he is when you have an issue that needs attention urgently. He is also booked in to do some certification work for the management company of the flats where I live. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for the whole range of electrician tasks
I would definitely recommend James and Paul if you need electrical work done. They are prompt, friendly and extremely competent. They came to our home, listened to what work we wanted them to do, then turned up as arranged to do that work. James even managed to find a replacement for our very old non-functioning extraction fan.
Replaced consumer unit and house re-wire carried out. Competitive quote, work neat and tidy and workspace kept clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend, will use again for other electrical works. NICEIC qualified and certificate documents provided.
James was punctual, polite and nothing but great at what he did. He took his time to come after work to help us get our WiFi installed in our office as it was urgent and managed to do it no issues within an hour.
I've used James Paul Electrical a few times and always found them to be reliable and good value; personable and helpful too.
Quality level of workmanship, fair price, everything completed as agreed, would definitely recommend and use again
James recently carried out a 3 bedroom re wire for us. We are very happy with the service and was a pleasant experience. James communicated with us throughout the job and worked with us to make sure everything was the way we wanted. Would highly recommend and will be using his services on the next project.
James Paul Electrical were very professional, prompt, tidy and sorted out all the work I needed doing. Will definitely use again and would highly recommend them.
Carried electrical safety inspection and provided certification as appropriate. The service was prompt, easy to organise and good value for money. James was friendly and nice to deal with.
All work carried out to a professional standard on time very helpful and informative. Excellent service
James was fantastic and we are extremely happy with all the work carried out indoors and outdoors. He transformed the front of the house and the rear with several spot lights to highlight key features as well as security lighting. All work done at excellent standard, tidy, very responsive and a good eye for things. He has great ideas of how things could work. We're highly recommend James to anyone who want a prompt, friendly, highly skilled electrician.
What a hero! I needed a landlord's EICR done at very short notice and James managed to fit me in. Price was very reasonable (far cheaper than the letting agent's contractor), and no finding work that needed doing just for the sake of it. When I needed a second EICR done a few weeks later he was my first port of call. This required more extensive work (RIP, elderly RCD), but this again was reasonably priced, great communication throughout the process, and prompt answers to the questions I had as a result of the work. Thank you very much, James, it's been a pleasure doing business :)
James was just brilliant. Always responsive and communicative. Good work done in good time and left tidy
I’ve been using James Electrical for the last four years, fulfilling all our requirements at home and in my company, indoors and outdoors . They are professional , efficient , tidy and are priced fairly, plus they do a great job. I don’t need to go anywhere else and will continue to use them.
Very efficient, prompt, clean. Very happy with the new switch. Good service at a reasonable price, glad to recommend.
James help us out on a tight deadline to get some lighting installed before a wedding reception. He fitted in the job when he was already busy and did a good job for us
We had a few lighting issues which we needed fixed, James and his colleague did a great job. They were both friendly, professional and completed the job quickly to a high standard. We will definitely use him again.
I had James complete a landlords EIRF report. He was extremely professional, punctual and completed the work promptly. He was extremely friendly and competitively priced in the area. 10/10
Did a good job, very friendly. What else can you ask for?
Prompt efficient service to fit with other trades to get the project done!
