Derbyshire Electrical Services Limited is repeatedly praised for neat and tidy work, especially on solar, battery and EV charger installations. Several reviewers describe James as knowledgeable and professional, and say he explained things clearly and gave helpful advice. Several reviewers say they would recommend the business or use it again. One reviewer reported a bathroom fan wired into trunking that was not straight, lights tripping afterwards, and difficulty getting through by phone; they paid another company to put it right and said they would not recommend the business.
James supplied and installed a new EV charger for me at home. A very neat,tidy and professional job done and all the associated certification submitted quickly. Absolutely recommend using James if you have some electrical work needed.
A review for James at Derbyshire Electrical Services Limited. I had 4 different quotes for a home battery. And James stood out above all the rest. I started not knowing anything about home batteries but i did know that I wanted a quality one. One company in particular wanted to sell me a fox battery and yes it would do the job but was a cheap entry point battery i found out after i had done some research. I decided I wanted a SIGENERGY battery that was a little bit more expensive but they last longer and are better quality. James was the only one who worked with me without pushing an agenda and was not pushy. He turned up when he said he would and got the work done in one day. The wireing was so neat that you can hardly see any. I am having him back later in the year to do some other house wireing. He does normal home electrical work as well as solar panels and home batteries. I have contacted him after installation and he was very helpful 10 out of 10.
I contacted James after a problem with my solar system. I’m SO pleased I did . He came promptly and at the time arranged . He identified the problem immediately and is hopefully going to sort for me. A lovely young man - very knowledgeable and professional. I’d recommend him to anyone . Thanks James. Carol
Derby Electrical Services installed my Solar, Battery and Diverter. Workmanship was excellent, tidy, as quoted. Price was competitive and i wanted a local company to do the work, couldn't be happier with my choice. James was very knowledgeable, professional and nothing was too much trouble. Communication throughout the job was good including listening to my initial thoughts to meet my needs and advising accordingly. Very happy with all aspects if the install, would highly recommend.
Great communication, arriving on time and just got on with the job. Gave advice before arriving on what we needed. Can’t ask for more than that.
Fantastic service from James. He came for the day and tackled several jobs, including fitting new wall sockets and replacing bathroom fans. He was really reliable, his workmanship was excellent, and he tidied up after himself too. Would definitely use James again.
First met James from Derbyshire Electrical Services when he carried out some third party testing at my property. Instilled confidence from the start that the job was being done to the highest standard, and his professionalism was everything you hope for when employing a tradesmen in your property. We were so impressed that we had him back to fit us an EV charger a few weeks later. Will be our go to now, for any future electrical work. Great service.
Prompt , knowledgeable, provided good advice and installed a Zappi Glo.
We were lucky to have James and Conor undertake all the electrical work for our somewhat complex residential extension recently. Super reliable, completely trustworthy and did an excellent job. Further to this he has just fitted an electric vehicle charger . I can totally recommend , James and his team for their professionalism, reliability, quality of workmanship, and competitive pricing. The best electrical firm we have ever used.
An excellent job very professionally installed. All elements were fully explained and the necessary 'app' was dowmloaded and linked to the car charger. James was very patient with a senior customer, would recommend without any reservation.
Got my EV charger installed by Derbyshire Electrical Services. Couldn't be happier with the install. Quick & tidy. Works great!
Booked James to move a plug socket further up a wall for me. Excellent communication, very efficient, incredibly quick. Really happy with the work. Would definitely book again!
Great service at a competitive price, neat installation of EV charger. Quick response to initial contact and approved and installed within 2 weeks.
James as Derbyshire electrical services ltd completed our large solar installation in June 2025. He proved knowledgeable and engaged from the outset, able to answer any questions put to him, and tailored the design to our specific needs. Price wise, he was slightly above the average quotes from national installers, but his knowledge and attitude convinced me to go with him for the works. The quality of installation is great, and he took the extra time, without being asked, to make sure solar panel alignment was flush across the installation. At the time of writing (end of July), he’s still actively engaged with the OEM to resolve a small issue with the equipment as delivered. I would recommend his services and use again.
Had a Libbi and Zappi, from Myenergi, installed by James. He was excellent. During the initial specification and installation preparation phase James was very clearly au fait with all the intricacies of matching the units with my solar panels. The cost was very good and everything was documented well on contract. He answered any queries quickly and clearly wanted to get everything spot on before the job started. With this job being relatively small we initially communicated by phone, email and photo. The work was done on time, by James personally, and I was very impressed with his layout and electrical precision. I was shown clearly how to use the system, and it now works perfectly. Job well done!
Have used Derbyshire Electrical Services to install a car charger, hot water system and home battery all linked to a pre-existing solar setup and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Friendly, polite and more than happy to help - highly recommended
Excellent work carried out. In a timely manner and very efficient.
James is an exceptional electrician who went above and beyond whilst installing our solar panel and battery system. His deep knowledge of solar systems was evident from the initial consultation, where he took the time to explain every component in clear, understandable terms. The installation itself was executed with remarkable precision, and his attention to detail was impressive—from the perfectly aligned panels to the meticulously organised wiring. His professionalism and customer service were outstanding throughout the entire process. James was consistently punctual, responsive to all enquiries, and kept me updated on the project's progress at every stage. The final installation passed inspection without any issues, and the system has been performing faultlessly since day one. I'm already seeing significant savings on my energy bills through optimised solar generation and battery storage. James is, without doubt, the gold standard for solar installation professionals, and I wholly recommend his services to anyone considering a solar system for their home.
Excellent service. I would absolutely recommend them.
I am extremely happy with the quality of work done by James/Derbyshire Electrical for my solar panel installation. James was really professional and his customer service is second to none. I highly recommend James/Derbyshire Electricals for all your Electrical works.
James and team installed solar panels, an EV charger, a domestic hot water heating system, and a solar battery system for me last year. They were totally professional and extremely helpful… and really nice guys to boot! 😊 James did all the design and calculations to specify a system for me which has proved to be ideal - it operates at pretty much optimum for my particular circumstances and property. My property has 3-phase electrics and I didn't want the battery inside the house, so James spent time with me assessing both my needs and concerns and didn't just try to install a 'standard' or 'simple' system for me as some other firms wanted to do simply because it was easier for them. I thought the price James quoted was really competitive and I am very happy with the results. I'd recommend them to anyone, although I try not to in case they're too busy with other work if I need them to do some more work for me 😉 After all, if you all used them too I might have to wait a long time for them to have any availability for me! Obviously I'm just kidding - if you want an excellent, extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and professional team then you can't do any better than Derbyshire Electrical Services Ltd.
Jamie gave excellent service, problem others missed, he sorted.
Had a fan install, a while back, the wired it in trunking, which is not straight. After they had gone my lights kept going off on the electric box, but everytime I rang up to get it sorted I could not get through. Ended up paying again for it to be put right by another company. Would not recommend
Wayne wired supply from fuse box to electric cooker very cleverly through ceiling. My highest recommendation.
Like others I was connected to James through Hypervolt. Can honestly say James was quick to respond, dealt with a small issue with the case really well (Hypervolt supplied a unit with a label that couldn’t be removed and a small scratch). I’d have no hesitation recommending James.
I went through HyperVolt's website to look for approved installers and was connected to James who did a remote survey and explained everything involved with fitting an EV charger on a video call. James was attentive and listened to my concerns of making sure the installation was neat as I'll be looking at it every single day. Unfortunately, one of James' staff had an emergency on the day of the installation so we had to postpone. James made me aware as soon as he could and offered to come and complete the job at the weekend. I was in no rush as my EV was still on order so I suggested we do the following week instead as I don't like working weekends either! Jason did an excellent job at making the install look neat and answered any stupid questions I had along the way. Jason showed me how to use the HyperVolt app and made sure all the settings were configured correctly. Thanks James & Jason for doing a superb job at a reasonable price.
James was excellent - both with the electric car charger installation itself and advice on different products / wiring arrangements compatible with our solar panels. I'd definitely recommend him - he knows his stuff and is very professional and helpful.
Jack installed a fan in my bathroom he was very pleasant and a very clean and tidy worker. It was a pleasure dealing with him Jackie Huff
James and his company Derbyshire Electrical Services Ltd offered a very competitive quotation, very professional from start to finish and very informative on how the installation would be completed and all within timescale. Would highly recommend James and would definitely use them again.
Gave me a quote from pictures, managed to fit me in quickly for the EV charger and did a bit more work for the same price in reconfiguring the consumer unit. Very knowledgeable and conversational.
We opted to have a Hypervolt 2.0 vehicle charger installed which needed to be installed by an approved Hypervolt installer. We took the opportunity to upgrade our old consumer unit at the same time. James was very helpful in talking through the options and the work was carried out quickly and professionally. They turned up on time as agreed. Any mess was cleaned away and follow up paperwork was provided. I would certainly use DES again for future electrical works.
Very good customer service. We had one or two queries post installation, nothing to do with the work carried out, and these were resolved extremely quickly.
James was professional, polite and did a great job of installing an EV charger, we had a couple of hiccups not James fault and he went out of his way to get the job done on time. Quality company, great person to deal with would recommend his work and use him again.
An excellent, responsive service which helps keep out business safe and effective.We would strongly recommend .
We used James to install our new hot tub, very professional, turned up when he said he would and put our garden back together like he'd never been there. Would 100% use again.
The power at my house kept tripping out, so I gave James a call and he managed to fit me in that same day and fixed the issue. Clearly knows what he is doing and doesn't waste time getting it done. Would Highly Recommend!
Really good job done helped with light fittings and moved sockets, left no mess and very efficient all tasks completed well within the agreed time. Would use again in fact will use again when we need more work done.
Very professional, reliable and efficient electrician. Great value for money and knew exactly what I needed. Thank you
