Reviewers of South Wales Electrician mostly report fast responses, with several saying Darren replied or arrived within about an hour after a call-out. Many describe him as knowledgeable and professional, explaining faults clearly and answering questions. Several customers say he is friendly, polite and easy to deal with, and some mention that he is clean and tidy at the end of a job. Repeat customers report using him for work such as full rewires, socket replacements, kitchen fitting, security lights and heating controls, and several recommend him to friends and family. One reviewer, however, says that after a good oven installation, Darren gave quotes for a second job and then stopped responding altogether.
Extremely fast response from Darren who was very knowledgeable and identified the issue from just a few photos while on the call, and instructed us over the phone on how to sort the issue. 100% recommend and will absolutely use the company again in the future.
Darren was very good when he installed our oven connection for us, but since giving me some quotes for a second job has gone completely silent, which I was really surprised by. I was honestly worried something has happened to him. His phone number has remained the same, maybe I upset him somehow!
Absolutely brilliant experience. Super lovely and considerate. Passing his name along to my friends :)
Great service, quick & efficient, thanks Darren!
Darren was absolutely brilliant. I work from home and everything went off. He took the time (even though he was on another job) to talk me through over the phone, to isolate the problem so I was able to continue working. He came that evening and the next day and resolved the issue. Totally professional, clean and efficient. We highly recommend. Thank you Darren.
Darren offers a very prompt and knowledgeable service at very reasonable prices. He is communicative and friendly, I would recommend his services as an electrician to anyone in the area.
Darren fitted us in to remove an integrated microwave and oven and replace with two new ones. When it came to do the fitting of the new equipment Darren had to replace the plug and move some of the shelves and cupboard around to do that, and he wasn't phased at all - which I really appreciated! He did all of this, was very cheerful and friendly about it all, and charged a very reasonable price as well, so will definitely be using him again - thanks Darren!
Darren installed an electricity supply to my workshop in the garden, including new consumer unit, sockets and LED lighting. The cable run was a bit tricky, involving running cable through 2 walls but Darren was spot on with his drilling. Really pleased with the quality of the installation and he was very professional, turned up on time and discussed possible options.
Showed up when they said they would, got the job done perfectly. Thank you!
I would honestly give Darren 10/5 stars if I could. We had been waiting for another electrician for months on end, and eventually got fed up and found Darren via Google; it's the best thing that could have happened to us. He came to us the next day to peruse the work required and kept in touch until he had the space to carry out the work....the delay was fine by us, since who doesn't want a busy electrician! To sum up his work and qualities: 1. Very polite and personable 2. Clean and thorough in his work 3. Humble and no job is too small attitude 4. Quick and efficient 5. High quality 6. Doesn't stop until the problem is solved 7. Intelligence in his process 8. Extremely good value for money We are extremely happy and fortunate to have found Darren.
Emergency call out and Daren was with me in 5 minutes. Problem solved and very happy customer. Second 5* review from me.
I rang three local electeicians and Darren from South Wales Electricians was the only electrician who picked my call offered to visit my home to quote. Great communication and options to call out to quote. Price quoted was very reasonable and fair. Darren turned up when he said he would and was very reliable, helpful and friendly. Overall I was very happy with Darrens service and will be recommending South Wales Electricians to my friends and family.
Having used Darren (South Wales Electrician ) to rewire my kitchen during the pandemic I was so impressed with his workmanship I decided to use him again. This time to replace single sockets to double in most rooms. This involved cutting channels into the solid walls then plastering over. The work was carried out with minimum disruption and left in a clean state. He also fitted a new component to my bathroom fan (which hasn't worked for years) and it is now fully operational. Also my fan in the conservatory was fixed (once again out of service for years) and a switch in my porch to put lights on before entering my house. All in all I was highly impressed with the work and the very competitive quote. I would have no hesitation in using Darren again and would recommend him to anybody requiring electrical work to a high standard.
Darren was hugely helpful and carried out the work efficiently and swiftly. We’d recommend him highly, without doubt.
I'm a Heating engineer and often install technical systems which require specialist electrical knowledge, this is where Darren comes in without doubt the best around south wales, with a wealth of knowledge regarding complicated heating wiring etc..., I Wouldn't recommend any one else, Great service 👍🏻
Amazing job done by Darren - South Wales Electrician. Would highly recommend. He responds quickly and is reliable, also did brilliant job of fitting new dining room lights and bathroom spotlight. Wouldn’t use any other electrician now we’ve found him.
This guy is a machine, fair play. Got him in for a full re-wire of a 3 bed that had historical dodgy electrics. I couldn’t believe how quick the turnaround and quality of the work was. Reasonable price and a sound bloke all round too. Highly recommend.
Darren replaced a few security lights and wired in a new camera for us. He was quick, responsive, fairly priced, and did a good job. Can't really ask for much more - I would definitely call him again.
Called last minute, added us at the end of the day just over an hour after calling. Efficient, friendly and fixed the issue for us. Would reccomend
Rang Darren at 9.30 on a Sunday morning. He called to the house within the hour as promised. Diagnosed and fixed the problem straight away. Very happy with the service. Will definitely use again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great service, knowledgeable, professional and friendly.Identifies the problem explains clearly what’s needed and does it efficiently and quickly Highly recommended
We have found Darren very reliable and extremely efficient. He tackled some awkward jobs around our house and left us very satisfied with his work. His rates, too, were very reasonable. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others and he will be the first person we call when we need an electrician.
Really professional, friendly and responsive service. Darren was able to do all the electrics in our house whilst we were on holiday. Really pleased with the quality of work and all done for a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend
Darren always responds promptly and does his utmost to prioritise an emergency. He showed great patience in finding a fault which was tripping the electrical supply to our home. I would thoroughly recommend him - an excellent electrician with outstanding customer service.
5 stars doesn’t give this man justice. Darren is not only a great electrician, he runs his business the right way. Always there with advice and support with whatever you need. The quality of Darren’s work is faultless and at an extremely reasonable price. I couldn’t recommend Darren any more. Thank you for all the hard work you’ve done on our property!
Darren did a great job finding a short on my kitchen sockets. Would recommend. Good tradesmen. Squeezed me in between other jobs so 5 star.
Very pleased with the work performed today. Received good advice on an electrical issue. Very reasonable charge for a Sunday call. Friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant. Would definitely use again.
I had an electrical emergency late on a Friday afternoon, and Darren was on site in under an hour. He calmly diagnosed and explained the problem, fixed the immediate issue and checked that everything else was working correctly. He was knowledgeable and friendly, and I had complete confidence after he left that everything was in good order again. His call-out fee was very reasonable. I would have absolutely no hesitation in phoning Darren again next time I need an electrician.
Very professional and quick response. Good work!
Arrived within an hour of call-out on a Saturday morning, identified the issue and got power restored quickly. Very professional and explained what the issue was clearly. Very reasonable charge for the work. Would use again and recommend without hesitation!
First class service. Responded to my urgent need for help at my elderly fathers property, when other electricians either made excuses or promised to get back to me but didn’t. I highly recommend the South Wales Electrician
Darren has done a complete re-wired of our new house and done everything we have asked to a really high standard. We have not incurred one problem, his work has been faultless. He is very well organised and extremely clean whilst working, always only a phone call away! His attention to detail certainly doesn’t go unnoticed. I wouldn’t go to anyone else for our electrical work!
Darren recently helped us to install a new hive and replace a valve in our heating system. We had quite the ordeal with a broken boiler over Christmas and a succession of problems in the aftermath of that. But Darren very much came to our rescue! Darren was helpful, knowledgeable, professional and persistent in his efforts to solve the problems for us. We very grateful for his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, hardworking and reliable electrician.
Brilliant service, knowledgeable and efficient, kind and courteous. He knew his stuff and was a man of his word. He even shared his knowledge on other aspects of our house. We would gladly have him back without a moments hesitation.
I would highly recommend Darren! After carrying out my own fault finding with no luck I had to call Darren who had been recommended to me. I have to say he was fantastic, not only did he come out on a Sunday at very short notice he had a huge amount of patience as it was not a straight forward job and took longer that expected. I was so grateful for having the problem resolved so quickly.....thanks Darren!
What a dream Daren and Ashley have been to deal with, both are so professional at what they do and gave me peace of mind whilst doing all the electrical work for my new kitchen, I can’t thank them both enough for their hard work! I would highly recommend South Wales electricians for such a fantastic job they have done.
Highly recommend if you have any electrical issues. Darren fixed a faulty underfloor heating system which was a complex issue but the fault was identified and repaired quickly. Very reliable and quick to respond.
Fast response. Reasonable quote and tidy fast installation. I can recommend this company.
Darren and Ashley are excellent; efficient, experts at what they do and extremely tidy. I particularly appreciated the way they thought of innovative solutions to make the jobs more cost effective and to improve the user experience / effect. Added to that they’re really pleasant, easy to get on with and good company. They’ll definitely be our first port of call if / when we have any more electrical work done.
Thanks Darren, Fixed problem bathroom light and broken socket at a fair price. Happy to recommend.
Fast response to my initial request for a quote for fitting new sockets and moving light fitting. Very reasonably priced. Both electricians did the job well and quickly and we are very pleased with the work. Would not hesitate in using them again for any future work. Thank you very much.
I was really impressed with Darren. After having disappointing experience in the past with tradesmen he was quick, reliable and very reasonable. Excellent value for money and a really nice guy. Thank you.
Due to the pandemic, I was very pleased with the quick response to my cry for help. Very helpful on the phone when first contacted. Had to order part, which luckily came the next day and Darren came as soon as was able, giving me helpful advice. Would definitely contact again in a crisis and recommend to my friends and family.
We can't thank you enough for completion of the electical installation to our new classroom. You we're nothing but professional from start to finish even completing the job early. We cannot recommend these guys enough true professionals.
Thanks for a first class experience 👍🏼
Can't rate them highly enough. Have used them several times now and they always go above and beyond. Competitive pricing and a professional service. Would happy recommend them 110%
I needed Darren’ and Ashley to help urgently with an electrical fault. Their speed of service, professionalism and desire to not leave until they resolved the problem is credit to them both. Thanks you very much both.
I called SWE on the strength of the Google reviews. Darren prioritised my emergency and was at the house within an hour. He tested the fault and narrowed it down to a very bizarre/specific issue that I never would have been able to identify myself. Everything was repaired and back up and running within 2 hours and at an very reasonable price. I will absolutely be calling SWE should I have any issues in the future. Fast, friendly service. Many thanks.
Excellent service. Diagnosed the problem quickly and resolved straight away. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!
Darren has sorted out a couple of issues for us since we've moved in and he did a great job both times, sorting the problem quickly and giving us a good price. Would definitely recommend him to others!
Darren and his team are highly professional and do a first rate job. I am very grateful to them for going above and beyond on a job that turned out to be a great deal bigger than we initially thought. The price was extremely reasonable too. Wouldn't go to anyone else.
Darren was amazing he turned up on time gave me a fare price on the quote was honest about the price.He wasted no time in getting stuck into the job and did it quickly and efficiently. I am going to keep his number for future work and would recommend any body else to him
Superb service. Darren went out of his way to fit me in when electrics were tripping. Can’t fault these guys. Would give 6 stars if I could !!!
Good service, good price, good job
Have to say, really happy with the work done. Extremely knowledgable, made some fantastic recommendations too. The job was done very professionally, excellent value and couldn't recommend enough. Darren and his team were courteous, patient and I wish I'd used them on other renovations before. This particular job was a complete electrical installation of a new bathroom, will be looking to get a new fuse board very soon too.
Excellent service, quick and very friendly. Well happy with the work done. Thanks
After being in the electrical trade for over 40 yrs cannot recommend this company enough 1st class work plus nice people to deal with
