Positive Electrics is highly praised across many reviews, with customers repeatedly describing the electricians as friendly, polite and tidy. Several reviewers say the team turns up when promised, explains the work clearly and leaves the area clean. The work is often described as done to a high standard, with clear quotes and competitive or reasonable prices. One reviewer, however, says they were let down for a second time and would look elsewhere.
I can't recommend Positive Electrics enough. I needed a dedicated cooker circuit and isolator switch installed. They responded quickly and did the job a couple of days after I contacted them. Friendly, efficient service and they explained everything to me. Left everywhere clean and tidy. I had to call them the following day as there was a problem with the installation of my new cooker (not their fault - the issue was with the cooker supplier). They came out the same day, just charged me labour, and took my old cooker outside for the scrap dealer to collect.
Lovely company reliable and all the electricians are really friendly and helpful . They’ve done all my ceiling lights in my house and some in my grans too and they’re so tidy and all really chatty too . Thankyou very much !!
From start to finish the service was excellent, the explanations were clear, the prices were fair, and the entire process was both professional and straightforward. The remedial work was carried out to a high standard and I was kept fully informed throughout the process. If I were to advise anyone who needs an EICR or electrical work, I would without hesitation recommend Positive Electrics. Once again, thank you!
Can’t thank James, Liam and colleagues enough. They always worked hard and turned up when they said they would. Nothing was too much trouble for Liam he was knowledgeable and professional throughout the job. The quotes are always detailed and clear and the jobs are reasonably priced. Positive Electrics have brought our house into the 21st century and we highly recommend them for both large and electrical jobs. Thank you guys! Sue😊
Fantastic service from Positive Electrics. Liam and his colleague were helpful and polite at all times and completed the scheduled work on time and in line with the estimate. They were happy to go that extra mile and without doubt I would use PE again and recommend them to family and friends.
Excellent service all round would recomend this company
Diagnosed my none functioning EV charger quickly and arranged replacement parts. Fitted and all working well again. Great service and a very friendly business to work with
The original estimate was completely itemised, which was good. The work was for new wiring for our utility room with sockets and new lights, replacing the old fuse box and testing. We were advised final invoice could be more or less than estimate. Pleasantly surprised that it was just under. The work carried out was neat and everything explained afterwards. Definitely recommend and we will be going back to them in future.
Fantastic service as always. A prompt response to my initial enquiry and booked in. Double socket installed. Quick installation and always tidy. The electricians were really pleasant. Have had work done by this company for many years and have no hesitation in recommending their work
They were super quick and efficient. They even provided a quote foe the work needed which was amazing.
Excellent service by the team, really reliable and professional, with prompt replies and great knowledge! Already planning to use them again for a few more jobs in the future! Thanks again!
Positive Electrics have done several jobs at my elderly parents house over the years and have always done an excellent job for a reasonable cost. Ive found them to be very trust worthy and have no problem highly recommending them.
The team at Positive Electrics did a great job with installing my Ohme EV home charger. Their prices were very competitive, and the work was carried out to a high standard. Will be using them again for any future work.
Absolutely brilliant from first contact to the end of the job. Very easy to deal with and the job was done quickly with no mess left. Very reasonable prices and would definitely use again 👍
Brilliant company came on time fitted new led ceiling light good price and very professional, electrician top guy.
Quick to come out and provide a quote, and the work was arranged promptly so I wasn’t left waiting long. Everyone was friendly and helpful, offering good advice and guidance throughout. Communication was excellent, and the engineers completed the work to a very high professional standard. I would happily use them again and would highly recommend them.
Positive Electrics is an excellent company that I am happy to recommend. This is a review after my second experience of their services. I live in an old property that presents its own additional challenges – (e.g. with routing of cables). On each occasion, James and his team have proved to be experienced and proficient, as well as friendly and professional – they listen to your concerns and then do their best to execute the most appropriate solution. 10/10.
Keeping record of this number for future. Friendly ,no time wasted.Just got on with the job.
We have a 1930s house which has gained a mish-mash of wiring over the years! Liam & Eddie located & sorted a couple of issues efficiently & professionally, then were able to sign off our electrics as safe. They were informative & friendly, clean & tidy. Very pleased - will use again.
Highly recommend Positive Electrics 10/10 in all departments! Communication! Competitive pricing! Friendly knowledgeable staff who did a great job will definitely use them again 😊
Excellent service, would definitely use again
Great from start to finish. Did exactly as they said they would do. The guys were all helpful and advised on various options to make great job. Will definitely use there services again if needed. Would highly recommend
Positive Electrics are brilliant. They arrive when they say they will, do a great job for you, even leave it clean and tidy. What more could you ask for. Will definitely have James and his team back, and recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys.
Excellent service, prompt, courteous, reliable and reasonably priced. We have used these guys before and today they completed another job for us, the standard of workmanship was as always, exceptional and carried out in a professional manner. We are highly satisfied and would recommend Positive Electrics to anyone. Thanks again for a great job. Etienne Curtains & Blinds Ltd
5* Service, incredibly helpful from start to finish! Would highly recommend and will definitely be having you guys back. Thank you again 😁
Excellent in all ways. They return phone calls. They turn up when they said they will. They do the work to a high standard. They are good people. They tidy away after themselves. Excellent, trustworthy team. In a sea of mediocrity they stand out.
Excellent service
(2025) This is our second experience using Positive Electrics and we are again very pleased with the quality of the work. We recently purchased a house and had all sockets and switches replaced as well as new sockets installing and the work was neat and professional. Tidy as always and a very polite and knowledgable team. Would still highly recommend! (2022) Very pleased with the service we have received! Very professional and respectful company with a lovely team. No mess left and they were very nice and polite. The work is of a very high standard and done to a lovely finish :) they definitely know what they are doing and would highly recommend
We have been using Positive Electrics for about ten years, and over that period have seen the firm “grow” . They are a very competent , well organised set up. The electricians are very polite, caring , and knowledgeable. At the completion of the work , they always clean their work area. Only this week we required a couple of extra double- sockets in our lounge, this was quite an urgent request. Made late morning. James organised the work to be carried out that same afternoon , completed by two very competent electricians . We are always highly satisfied with Positive Electrics., and would certainly recommend them if you need any electrical work undertaking .
I have used this company twice. On both occasions it has been a brilliant service. I would definitely use them again if needed and would recommend them to others. Excellent service.
Friendly, responsive, diligent, professional, reasonably priced and really easy to have in your home. Oh, and reliable. That should have come first. Card machine so payment is super easy. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
I would highly recommend these guys to anyone excellent quote from James and excellent work done by Liam and Eddie
I would like to thank you, and your team, for your work in ensuring that the electrics within our home are up to date and compliant with standards. Your guys arrived on time and set to upgrading our 26 year old fuse box and testing that all sockets and light fittings were safe. This is no small task in a family home, but your guys were on it, discovering sockets behind cupboards, in the loft, and under the stairs that I'd forgotten existed! All the work was completed within the timescale agreed, and with minimal disruption to my working day. And to top it all off, there wasn't a speck of dust left to show after the guys had tidied up. It was an absolute pleasure to have them working in the house. Your itemised invoice arrived promptly and matched the details provided on your quote - always reassuring to see! The whole experience from quoting through to payment was hassle free and you delivered exactly what you said you would. I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Positive Electrics to friends, family and other businesses.
We cannot recommend this organisation more highly. We had a strange electrical fault and the company were extremely helpful and accommodating in helping to sort it out. We would definitely use again should the need arise
Extremely professional and polite. James provided an estimate that was very close to the quote, in good time. Liam and Eddie were great, friendly to chat to and did a brilliant job. Would absolutely recommend to anyone needing an electrician or some work done.
We were nervous about using a firm found online, (it didn't work for us last time) and since our previous electrician retired , one of our old (35years) storage heaters also retired ! We were so pleased to find James and his team. He helped us decide on a replacement, explaining very patiently all the options, provided quotes, and gave a date. Two pleasant young gentlemen duly arrived, and completed the job . No mess, no fuss. They explained how the new equipment worked ( easy really) and removed all their rubbish. Nothing left behind. Simples. What a pleasant experience !
Very happy with Positive Electrics. James was very helpful on the phone, estimate provided within 2 hours (which was very close to final invoice) and very happy with the work carried out. I had some old light fittings swapped out for new, a dimmer switch replaced and some down lights put in. I provided a key and it was all sorted whilst I was at work. Will use Positive Electrics in the future.
Excellent service on time, very efficient professional service would recommend and use again. Large chandelier fitted no issues at all.
Had a partial rewire plus other work. I had every confidence in this company at every stage. Excellent value, a comprehensive estimate and all work completed on time. The guys were very conscientious and considerate, doing their best to minimise any disturbance and always leaving the house tidy. I would strongly recommend Positive Electrics.
James came out Friday and quoted to fit my wired ring doorbell I accepted his quote and he fitted Monday great service very reasonable priced lovely helpful chap 10 /10 really pleased
James came out quickly after enquiring to give a quote for quite a bit of work including a new consumer unit, additional plug sockets and moving light fittings, he then organized for it to be carried out a few days later, the guys were really nice and completed all the work to a high standard- highly recommend!
This is the second time I have used Positive Electrics. This time I asked them to upgrade the lights in my kitchen, loft and outside to LEDs and motion activated where appropriate . James was very good an advising me about light levels - tone and brightness - which was helpful as I grew up with 40, 60 and 100w bulbs. He also advised me about replacing my burglar alarm and 2 old extractor fans in bathroom areas. The estimates were clearly laid out and I understood exactly what work was being done and roughly how long it would take. The team ( 2 electricians and a mate) that came to do the work were fantastic. I was working from home that day with a heavy schedule and they were very careful in planning their work so it didn’t disrupt mine. They were a pleasure to have in the house, very polite and friendly and they explained how all the new kit worked especially the burglar alarm. Before leaving they made sure I was happy and they tidied everything up and hoovered. I strongly recommend them.
Have used this company twice, found them to be very responsive. Excellent service, neat and tidy, very pleased with the work carried out and would highly recommend.
Excellent and reasonably priced service. Did the job we asked for speedily and efficiently. James was polite , friendly and offered further expert advice! Highly recommended! Thank you. Chris and Anthea
Did a full rewire for us the work was done to very high standard. We move out for 4 days the work was finished on the 5th day as promised. Select through Derbyshire Trusted Trader. Would highly recommend Fantastic Team.
James coordinated directly with our tenant to carry out the replacement of a faulty outside light. Parts professionally replaced so that everything works as it should keeping everyone happy. Thanks.
Positive Electrics came out to do an electrical installation condition report for us and they were absolutely brilliant. During the inspection, they came across an issue with our lighting, which they came back and investigated further and fixed for us. When technical issues meant we couldn't access the document we needed, James made sure we got it in time for our house move. 10/10!
Excellent company wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Second time I’ve used them and have been really impressed by response time, efficiency and quality. It’s great to have a number to call that will be reliable - thank you
The guys that came over two visits were great and completed a good job competently, with care and under the quoted price. I’ve used them before and will again - and I’m a former electrician and electrical design engineer. Thank you James and team.
Great job done! We needed to update and properly network our fire alarms for our holiday cottage. It's an old, listed building (eighteenth century), so it needed planning properly. They planned it out in advance, were timely, and made sure to tidy up after themselves. Really pleased with the result, and would recommend without hesitation!
James and the team at positive have been working with me for the past four years on two house renovations. We couldn’t be happier. Knowledgable, hard working and trust worthy. Full rewire inside and all new lighting outside. To see their work you can visit our instagram page @brammer_manor
Excellent service! Responded quickly to my enquiry. Arrived on time. Very clean, tidy, professional and polite. Would recommend!
Can’t recommend this company enough. After having an urgent electrical fault and calling many electricians James was the only one who got back to me instantly. Arranged a visit the next day. I was kept up to date by the engineers when they were running slightly late. Everyone was very polite and professional. Very very thorough and explained everything to me fully. Definitely went above and beyond to check everything was safe, even did things like put the side of my bath back on and my son’s bike away after I’d moved it for boiler access. Such a fantastic, professional company and pleased with the reasonable price too. Will definitely be a number to keep for the future!
Nothing too much trouble for James and his team
James and his team are top quality! They did wiring in most rooms, putting new lights on, new switches and new sockets on with new hobs in the kitchen. They communicated effectively with me, with their works they are doing. The lads are really good at what they do. James has been responsive and his customer service is great. I look forward to be working with this team again in my next investment project!
I like the dog
Excellent workmanship. Competitive pricing. Trustworthy. Tidy working. Would recommend 100%
Work carried out well and they will be coming back soon.
This was my second time using positive electrics, it was for smaller jobs this time. Always knowledgable, polite, helpful and tidy. Prices are transparent and fair. You know they will turn up when expected. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Thank you James , Liam for completing the rewire to our property, fitting in and co ordinating with the remedial damp work that needed to take place . Very pleased with the results .
I don't normally write reviews but thought this deserved one. I had an issue with a ligh socket that had blow and tripped all power to lights etc. The gentleman that came out was brilliant! Well mannered and took the time to explain what went wrong and how he fixed the issue whilst installing the new fitting we had just brought. I also called the guys who again were superb over the phone and gave me an ETA as requested when the electrician would be with me. Start to finish the guys we're class and I would recommend to anyone in the need of their service. Thanks again
Best sparky in chesterfield
James and his team at Positive Electrics fitted our Hypervolt Electric Car Charger for us. They did an incredibly neat job, were very professional and we really can’t recommend them enough.
Totally excellent. They guys were in time, very professional and went above and beyond to get the job done. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you guys. Jane Chesterfield
James and Co did a fantastic job of the full rewire on my house they created minimal destruction into the process and always made sure we were sorted for power at night. They also filled all the chases and holes and tidied the place up brilliantly. Top notch service.
Professional, prompt and polite, i will certainly recommend this company to friends and family . . . .
Excellent service, both electricians were extremely hard working and polite. The house was spotless once they'd finished despite having to take the skirting off and replaster. Very reasonable quite as well. I would highly recommend
Had a problem in march, the electricians were quick to take a look. Gave a clear quote and explained what was needed. I felt happy with the job and the price. Also felt comfortable with the people who were involved with the work. Kind considerate and what they said was followed up, and then guaranteed. Thank you
Excellent
Positive Electrics supplied and fitted a TCP doorbell/answering system. They recommended the system and I am really pleased with it. I can answer the door remotely, by speaking through my phone when I am not in and view who is at my door via the motion activated camera. The sound and picture quality is great. I've heard that the big names like the 'Nest' doorbell charge a monthly subscription fee, no charges for the TCP product or the associated app. I'm going to add some TCP wifi light bulbs to my home now as I've been really impressed. Positive Electrics team as tidy, considerate and professional as ever, I don't hesitate to recommend their team to anyone looking for an electrician.
Excellent service . Could not fault the service from the moment I initially phoned up. Two young men who came to replace fuse box and put in two power sockets were "simply the best" Great workmanship, friendly, arrived PROMPT, very well mannered , job done to time, good price and they cleared up wonderfully. I would recommend them to any household requiring electrical work in home or works. Thanks , Marian and John Harrop
Rang for immediate advice and help. He came within 20 mins helped get the electric back on and gave good advice for a new fuse box upgrade which we will be having them to do in the next few weeks. Great response time friendly and good price.
Excellent service. Would recommend.
Phoned up in the morning and was round the house by lunchtime. Although the issues were a simple fix, everything was sorted in half an hour. He was friendly and efficient. I have put the number on my fridge for future work. Would highly recommend *****
2nd time we have been let down , we will look elsewhere
Great service. Would definitely recommend.
