Reviewers of Bryden Electrical Ltd often describe punctual, polite and tidy work, with several saying they would use the company again. Many report quick responses, including same-day and emergency call-outs, and several say problems were found and explained clearly. Rewiring, fuse box replacement, socket and light work, and electrical safety reports are among the jobs described as done to a high standard. One customer described a condescending manner, and another was unhappy about being made to feel their own work was not up to scratch. Others report a booked appointment that was not attended, an unfinished cooker hood installation, a missed installation visit after earlier work, and a disputed call-out charge.
Do not choose these guys if you are looking for some professionals. Money comes first, work will be done somehow and don't expect them to have it done the right way. Most important thing is, please do not question them for any reason. You will be surprised with the responses. If you are a person who do not care on any of my above statements, then they are the perfect people to work for you. Unfortunately, I'm not and never use them again.
Thank you so much for repairing the electrics, getting my lights back on and being so kind and courteous during your visit. It’s much appreciated. 🥇
Needed an electrical recertification. Put my enquiry out via Trustatrader at 0900. Engagement within the hour. A window was given. As we got closer they were able to refine that slot. Work done. No fuss. Market rate price. Report issued immediately. Just how I like to work.
Cannot praise these guys highly enough!! Came round to view and give an estimate the same day I called them!! Arrived on time and were professional and polite, they even took their shoes off before entering the flat = outstanding!! They moved a cooker socket quickly and cleanly leaving no mess at all - took the trouble to fill the old, unsightly screw holes with white mastic as well!! I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Bryden Electrical Ltd and would 100% use them again!!!
Shane from Bryden Electrical Ltd did a superb job for me in removing a chandelier and replacing with an LED chandelier he also replaced an out of date overhead fluorescent light in the bedroom. He worked quickly and made no mess. Thanks Shane
Top man. I was close to exchange on a house and found out there wasn't an up to date EICR. Bryden Electrical was able to do one for me the next working day, and then talked me through the report and the known issues. I asked about cost of remediation them, and he sent me an estimate with 20 minutes.
Brilliant professional job and really tired would definitely recommend
We had our fire/smoke alarms replaced. Very efficient and friendly service. Would thoroughly recommend.
Excellent service start to finish! Highly recommended! Fast, tidy, friendly and informative about what they had done! Will definitely be calling them again for any electrical works!
Phoned this morning with a problem, Shane came the same day to fix it and also gave me a good quote for other work I need done. Very professional, quick and well priced! Will be using them again that’s for sure and will also be recommending to others! Thank you again ☺️
Originally Hamilton visited us at short notice when our bathroom light stopped working, but was so impressed we have since got them to fit a new fuse box, install some new power circuits in bedrooms and fit a new bedroom light and dimmer. Really efficient and high quality work, most definitely highly recommended. Very happy all-round.
Needed an unusual job done...fitting a UVB light into our lizards vivarium. Hamilton said he was sure he could sort it, came the next day and indeed did exactly what was required plus some additional tidying up of wires! Thoroughly recommend him and will use again.
Friday evening at 6 o'clock, oven on for dinner and the power went. A load of expensive medication in the fridge. Help! Anyway, Bryden Electrical came to the rescue and all was fixed in about half an hour. Polite, efficient and I was very pleased. Will definitely use them again.
Attended promptly on a Saturday evening to fix a DIY mishap that resulted in no power to majority of the house. Polite abd professional manner, job completed quickly. Cleared and hoovered away the small area of mess caused by the fix (unavoidable mess). All in all very happy with the service we received. Would highly recommend using Bryden Electrical to others and use them again myself. Thank you.
Hamilton and Shane were at my flat in Southend this morning to fix an electrical problem. I had no power in any of the sockets in my kitchen. It was all sorted out quickly. Very professional service at a very fair price. I would highly recommend Bryden Electrical. I am a very happy and satisfied customer
The work carried out by Hamilton and Shane was of the highest quality we will definitely by using them again. I can’t recommend them enough.
Great service, very professional can't recommend them enough. 5 stars
Best electrician I have come across, super helpful and knowledgable!
Brilliant team. Quick, efficient and professional. Would recommend.
We had Hamilton and Shane over to fit a new consumer box, light fittings and power sockets in our son's recently renovated house and their skill and attitude was excellent. They fixed numerous problems made by others and I would have no hesitation in using them in my house and would recommend Bryden to friends and family.
Very pleased with the efficiency the company delt with my problem as a plug socket had became hot to touch Thank you Shane for your politeness,getting the socket sorted and explaining what had happened and keeping your work space tidy Will definitely use again
Great service, even did a couple of other odd jobs while they were here. Knowledgable guys and I'm happy with the work done.
Came within the hour and solved an electrical problem very quickly. Great service!
Excellent service. I had a problem with a tripped switch and the underlying problem was identified very quickly. Will definitely be using their services again!
Don't use this company, got a full electric inspection and fuse boxed replaced cost £1200, everything went well on that day, we told him that we also have a issue with the electric hob and he promised that he will replace it for free when we bought the new hob, so we have bought the hob and he have arranged a time with us for the installation, but on the installation day he just not bother to turn up giving some ridiculous excuses , from my own experience this is the worst and untrustworthy company, he only care about the money and never take good responsibility for the customer
I called an electrician for my elderly neighbour. He was respectful and friendly to her and fixed her problem very quickly. He even took his shoes off when he came inside! Would definitely use this company again and recommend them
Fantastic company helped me with my power loss and was a fair price , will be using again
They supposed to apologize from the first time they realized there was a difference in size between old and new hood I have now to contact a handyman to remove the one they did not finish installing completely to do what they could not finish because they were unprofessional, and they have taken the whole fees . They did not have the tool to just widen it little mm . I am not happy
Thank you so much for your time and giving me a quote on a job I had already had done. I so wish I would of chosen you.
Shane did a fantastic job of moving a plug socket from one wall to another. He was really polite, and very tidy, I would definitely recommend Bryden Electrical.
Was really impressed with the service provided from first contact. Very polite and easy to talk to. Communication was good and the work carried out was quick, tidy and good quality. I would definitley use again. Thanks.
Exceptional service. An RCD tripped in my house and would not reset so I lost power in some important rooms. Bryden said they would be with me in an hour, which they were. Two electricians arrived and diagnosed the problem in 10 minutes. 5 minutes later a temporary fix was in place. The broken part wasn't easy to source but they had one that evening and returned at 17h45 to put the permanent fix in place. Polite, friendly, professional, effective and reasonably priced. When I asked them if I needed a new fuse box they said, "No, save your money. We are not here to drum up more work". That's an exact quote. Suffice it to say that, going forward, they will be my first call on all things electrical.
They did a fantastic job on a really grim situation where a huge rat had chewed through a cable and died and it then got stuck in a very small hole. These guys went above and beyond on this job. They were efficient, clean and polite and we will definitely use them again - hopefully for non rat related jobs!
Superb Service - Punctual, Polite, Friendly Manner a Joy to deal with highly recommend, also very clean and tidy work
I would highly recommend Bryden Electrical. From the first contact they were polite and professional. When Hamilton came and gave us a quote for the installation of two new sockets he kindly contacted me to say he would be with me 10 minutes later than arranged. The quote was received the next day. Hamilton and Shane arrived on the agreed installation date and between the times they had said. They were polite, efficient, tidy and showed respect for my property. We will be definitely be using them again
Superb work and very responsive Came out to replace a double USB socket that had burnt out (the original socket was not installed by them however) and also to install a wall light in the garden. Phoned them at 4.45pm and they were here doing the work just after 6pm. Brilliant service, thanks.
Responded quickly on a Sunday, solved our safety issue and provide excellent report for us to go back to a different electricians that caused the issue.
Very happy with the service provided and have no problem using them again and recommending them to friends and family.
Hamilton arrived when he said he would. Fault reviewed and explained to customer. Solution explained and power restored. Top job from a professional electrician. Will definitely use again. No hesitation. 👍👍👍
Very quick response. Very kind & professional.
RCD fuse tripped, choice of options as to what had caused it. Called the company on a Saturday evening, was here in 20 minutes. Did various tests and isolated the problem (our elderly immersion heater). Very professional, polite and efficient, really pleased with the service.
A very professional company. Responded quickly with reasonable quote and carried out the work efficiently. I would highly recommend them.
Fixed my electric shower, very friendly, quick and efficient.
My power went off at 19.00, I rang Bryden Electrical and Hamilton arrived about 30 minutes later. He discovered it was an external fault so he rang UK Power to explain the problem. He checked everything was safe before he left. He was very professional and explained everything he had done. Highly recommended.
We found Bryden Electrical Ltd through looking at extensive customer reviews online. We were not left disappointed. Hamilton and Shane worked like trojans rewiring the upstairs of our house. Their expert workmanship, attention to detail and knowledge were clear to see and they worked with us, as we were still living there throughout the works!! We would have no hesitation in recommending Bryden Electrical and we’ll be using them again in the near future.
Hamilton is very friendly and super efficient. Rewired and met the project needs. Very flexible and knowledgable. Replies quick and is super efficient. A true professional! Thank you!
Absolutely 5 stars highly recommended. I called these gents in an emergency when I made an at home DIY mistake, they attended in a few hours, made it safe, did a nice tidy job. Recommending to friends and family 👍
Had a new cooker hood fitted. The two guys were very professional, courteous, friendly, helpful, and respectful of my home. They did a very good job and cleaned up after themselves. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again. Thank you very much. Tracey
Would highly recommend, great service and reasonably priced
Excellent service from Hamilton and team. I was very pleased with the work. Extremely polite, neat and tidy. Thanks, I will be using them again in the future.
Recommended to me by a friend. Very responsive, helpful, friendly and trustworthy, which is hard to find nowadays. Would highly recommend for any type of electrical job, whether it’s a small or large job.
Fast to respond good price very helpful would recommend
Bryden Electrical are very professional, courteous, and effective in delivering a good work. They carried out an EICR test and provided a report the same day. They have also completed some electrical installation works as part of refurbishment of a flat and they did a fantastic job. Thank you Bryden Electrical. Highly recommend them 👍🏼
Fast and excellent service. Called for an emergency and in and 1hr he was at my place. Recommended
Booked appointment for today. Never turned up nor contacted us with a reason so thumbs down
💯 per cent recommended professional and helpful service will be using them again in the future
Bryden came out to attend to a faulty socket which was sparking and tripping the electrics. They found the fault and made it safe. Very pleased with speedy service needed in an emergency.
Bryden Electrical were professional and thorough. They responded within half an hour to an emergency call out for loss of power. The problem took 3 visits to fully resolve and each time they were courteous, polite, cleaned up after themselves and were especially respectful of my elderly mother who at 87 was confused, anxious and worried about what was happening. I was present on the first occasion and felt entirely comfortable with Bryden Electrical attending on 2 subsequent visits without me being there knowing that my mother was in safe hands. I was kept fully informed of progress, quotes and invoicing were quickly sent to me, not too costly and efficiently dealt with. I have no hesitation recommending them and will be using them in the future should there be a need.
Hamilton did an electrical survey (EICR) on a property we’re hoping to buy. He was responsive at all stages, completed the work as agreed. He also took the time to explain the findings of the survey in layman’s terms and then provided a quote for the recommended remedial works. I plan to contract him to implement the improvements once we’re in. Based on the experience so far, would recommend.
We have used this company on multiple occasions for our landlords, they are great to deal with and are very responsive. They complete works to a high standard, do not rip our landlords off and usually have sufficient availability to get works and safety inspections done for our landlords. We usually speak with Hamilton, I would highly recommend him and the company.
Excellent service, would highly recommend. Clear on prices and did exactly what was need at the exact time it was supposed to be done. Rose Opticians Harlow
Very reliable and polite. The job was carried out efficiently and everything was cleared up. I am so pleased to have found Bryden Electrical. We will use them again and fully recommend them.
Really polite guys and super helpful, job was done to a great standard. Even sorted my smoke alarm too. Tidied up after the job as well. Highly recommend!
Very happy with the job I had done and for a good price which I'm sure could not be beaten. Electrician and assistant turned up on the agreed date and time. They were very courteous and polite. Took their shoes off upon entering my house without me asking and got straight on with the job and completed it so quickly. Very professional company and their prices are so reasonable. Would definitely use again and highly recommend to others. Thank you Bryden Electrical and a Happy New Year to you all.
Hamilton restored power to our house, from initial call to visit was 30 mins on a Saturday, found the problem and was resolved swiftly, highly recommended. Many thanks.
Excellent service from first call to quote to job done. Hamilton gets stuck straight in, no messing about no fuss just in job done tidy up gone. always on time, very polite and considerate. He's done 2 jobs for me now and I wouldn't call anyone else. Would defiantly recommend.
Answered my call straight away and was very polite, it was an emergency job and they turned up within a couple of hours exactly when they said they would 👍🏼, Got me back up and running in a very professional manner. Took the time to explain what was happening and what they were doing. Was nervous about getting an emergency electrician in as you hear so many horror stories. These guys definitely knew what they were doing and all done in a timely manner. Charged me what was agreed which was also very fair. Highly recommend and will use again if ever needed.
Arrived on time. Happy with the quote. Only a small job which they did there and then. Very pleasant. Cleaned up after job was done. Would use again.
Condescending. I called in Bryden Electrical as I’d fitted a pendant light and wanted it checked by a professional as I’m not exactly confident in electrics. Made to feel like an employee who’s work wasn’t up to scratch rather than someone admitting they needed help and paying for it.
Hamilton and his team did a fantastic job replacing/upgrading our old consumer unit and addressing some other wiring faults with our installation. The standard of their work was excellent. They've been reliable, tidy and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process. I've got absolutely no hesitation in recommending them, and will happily use them again in the future.
Hamilton and his colleague came out an hour after I called and quickly installed my electric cooker. He then came back later and fitted a new plug socket for me. Very clean job and nice friendly guys. Would recommend!
Hamilton @ Bryden electrical install a light fitting for me at my home, excellent quality of work. Polite, friendly and professional service. Will definitely be using their service again! Great job!
Five stars for this company We had a rewire Fantastic work five stars Very professional they was a delight
Very prompt and efficient. Would recommend.
Polite, friendly and professional service and super efficient with the PAT testing paperwork that we required. Will definitely be using their services again
Amazing service! We decided to install LED lights in our living room and needed professional electricians to help us. Hamilton (very friendly and extremely patient) came to our place, consulted us on all queries and advised on how long the work would take. After his consultation we decided to proceed with the work. We can’t thank them more for a great job they did. They came at our place perfectly on time, worked fast and left place very clean and tidy. We are very happy with our new lights. Thank you Bryden electrical for amazing service!
Got out quickly and done a good job
My cooker fuse had a burnt out wire, meaning the oven was out of action. Called Bryden electrical on the Sunday and within about an hour Hamilton had already turned up and repaired the faulty socket so the oven was back up and working. Also returned the following day as I wanted a particular chrome socket that he had to order. Great service and price, highly recommended.
Hamilton was great! He helped me sort out my heaters (and my hot water) and let me know what I should be doing to get the maximum benefit. He texted me the next day to ask how I was getting on with them. I will definitely use Bryden Electrical again. Very pleased!
Very reliable and professional
Competent, good work rate and tidy.
Responded quickly to my request and sorted out the problem efficiently.

Hamilton and Josh did a great job, efficient and thorough. Would certainly recommend.
Quick and helpful service. Recommended!
Great Electrician, a very happy happy customer. Thanks God bless.
Efficient and friendly, and very helpful :)
Very happy with the work carried out. I had a fuse which kept tripping and this required a lot of investigation to locate the faults and then work to correct them. Very thorough job, and I would have no hesitation recommending Bryden for any Electrical work and would not hesitate to use them again.
Hamilton did a great job installing some tricky ceiling pendant lights that look fantastic in our lounge. He also resolved another faulty socket all under an hour. Nice guy too! Thanks
Prompt, polite, good price, good job.
Excellent service from the first phone call through to completion of all work carried out. All work completed and to a very high standard. Andy Chelmsford.
Efficient, friendly and trustworthy
Excellent service, would highly recommend, thank you.
Emergency call out in the middle of the night. No hassle - efficient and effective.
Excellent professional job. Mr Hamilton Bryden explained each step clearly. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to undertake any work. Very friendly, knowledgeable and patient. We made an excellent choice.
We have used Bryden Electricals several time and they always deliver. Hamilton is very reliable, punctual/on time, explains us what he needs to do, and delivers to a great standard. His work colleague is also very good. This job was fuse box replacement which takes one day. I was really impressed with their work and how detailed and thorough they are. WE now have a new, modern fuse box and electrical certificate that everything has been checked for electrical safety. I highly recommend Bryden Electrical, we are most pleased. Mr and Mrs Booty, Chelmsford
Brilliant communication & service! Highly trusted as goes over and above expectations to help and assist you. Professional job carried out perfectly.
The experience was very good, fast and efficient. Professional, and great customer service.
Came same day and solved an electrical problem with my central heating that Britush Gas hadn't solved in 4 visits. Fantastic, thank you so much Hamilton.
Hamilton, did an amazing job at rewiring my whole house and upgrading my fuse board for me. Very professional in his job. Explained things to me as he went along. He may be young but he's extremely knowledgeable in his field of work. I can sleep now knowing I have a safe home. Nothing was too much trouble for him. I would highly recommend bryden electrical. Thank you for a brilliant job done.
He came to me so quickly and did an amazing job. Will 100% use again
Quick, efficient and good value for money, they explained all aspects of what they were doing and why, excellent
Great Service. I had an issue with my economy 7 heater not working so I called Bryden. I arranged a time that suited me. A friendly guy called Hamilton arrived bang on time, did some diagnostics, checked the board and felt that the issue which was likely to be the switch. He then replaced the switch. The next morning the heating worked. Really pleased with the professionalism of Bryden and would definitely us them again in future. Jon
Garage Door re-wired and working in quick time. Great Job..!
Burden Electrical Ltd. Highly professional, trustworthy and efficient team, superb job completed in our home, would strongly recommend. Thank you for a job well done
Absolutely over the moon with the lights you fitted in our garden yesterday. Would certainly recommend you to anyone wanting a quick good and efficient electrician !! Lynn Smith
Hamilton and his colleague arrived promptly and set about resolving the problem efficiently . They were both polite and explained the problem we had. However although able to repair it needed further work in the fuse box which would incur more costs. He took s photo and I arranged for my husband to call him so he could explain what the problem was. He also stated he would send over a photo of the box so my husband could better understand the problem . I have sent 3 emails to Hamilton asking him to contact my husband To explain but no contact. I can only assume he is not interested in continuing with the job. I was also quite upset that he quoted £100 for the hour + parts but stayed 15 minutes longer as he had to go get the part and charged me a further £100. Making total £200 plus £10 for the part. A little extortionate to say the least.
Booked Bryden Electrical for disconnecting an existing electrical oven and installing a new one. They were able to offer a same day service which was a bonus and was most reasonable in price in comparison to others I'd called on the day. They were polite and quick - would book again!
Here within 30minutes of my call. Took down 2 light fittings from high beams as I'm moving house. They cover the area of my new home which needs a lot of electric work. I will most definitely use Brydens.
When I first contacted Hamilton he responded within minutes to arrange the best time to come and give a quote on the work I needed doing. Turned out to be an even bigger job (which I had suspected due to a rogue electrician doing the previous work in my property) he then provided me with another quote to rectify all the problems. All quotes are inclusive of VAT so the price you get quoted is the price you pay. He called me regularly on the job to keep me updated and to clarify any decisions he wasn’t 100% clear on to make sure I was happy at all points during the work. Quick, tidy and efficient. If I need any more electrical work done I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him or recommend him to others.
Excellent quick service would definitely recommend
Always excellent service, professional and friendly.
Very professional service provided. High standard of work provided and very tidy. Would highly recommend this company. Very friendly to.
Friendly service and very thorough!
Emergency call out , very quick to respond all sorted in 20 mins . Will defiantly use again
I called Bryden Electrical to look into a power issue i had. A chap named Hamilton Bryden turned up when requested at 8am, by 8.15am had made a diagnostic that the entire place needs re-wiring and quoted me 2500. I asked for a report and he quoted a further 200. He then called me and asked when he would get paid 100 for the call out charge, I said to email me the invoice and i will pay him as soon as he sent, ( he at this point said he will call police if i dont get paid). He was paid by 830am as my bank statement shows. His tone was rude and I realised he was trying to rip me off by refusing to answer some questions I had and with all the typical tactics these companies do. I called in another electrical contractor, at 6am the following day. The chap company replaced 3 electrical socket which had a water exposed to them and charged me 75 for 1.5 hours work with the electrical safety certificates that was needed. i called Byrden Electrical to find out why they would charge so much for replacing one plug socket, i was verbally threatened, that i would get burnt on a text message as well as verbally abused by his swearing and ill comments on a phone call after telling him that they would be reported to trading standards. Hamilton Bryden then retaliated by leaving a comment on social media that he did not get paid for his work, and abused which is completely untrue and have bank statement and cctv proof. Rouge traders, Trading standards and Dom Joly are also being tipped off as I feel sorry for the vulnerable people they may have ripped off. Worst part is the electrical contractor that remedied the work, with new plug sockets and 1.5 hours fixing the issue, was still cheaper than Bryden Electrical 15min call out cost. I assume they saw a nice coffee shop and instantly thought they could rip me off. This is by far the worst company I have used for property in years, and I have dealt with a few of them over the past 20 years or so. Completely dirty rotten scoundrels. DO NOT USE!
Excellent service, Done fantastic work, clean and tidy. went above and beyond with everything they did. would definitely use again and have recommended to all friends and family.
Very nice, friendly company. Went the extra mile
I came to these guys in a complete emergency, they came to my rescue... lovely guys and a great service keep bydens number in your contacts!!!
Responded quickly, work completed efficiently at a reasonable cost
Very prompt attendance to correct matter and also to provide advice on other electrical matter. Definitely recommend.
Friendly Professional Guy. My Parents electrics had gone wrong in their bathroom and at the top of the stairs within two days Bryden Electricals came and gave a free quote for the work needed to be done and the jobs were completed no mess no fuss just very happy customers thank you.
We would like to thank Bryden Electricial in the work they did for our loft extension, from planning the lighting for suitable lighting to fitting most suitable lights for each room. Will be pleased to use them again on further projects.
I found Bryden electrical ltd on trustatrader. I needed an electrician to fix an extractor fan in my bathroom. Hamilton came promptly and gave me a reasonable quote. He returned within 2 days and did the installation with impressive speed and a commendable lack of fuss. He was punctual, quick and cleaned up after himself. I will certainly be using his services in the future and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
