Amazing service. Quick yet professional and safety conscious.
We are very happy with the work carried out — a very efficient company. We will use them again.
Great service from DRS again. Good communication, quick service and professional on the day.
Good quality of all work done and helpful advice
Great service called with a slight emergeny an hour later we had an electrician at the property. Many thanks so grateful.
I was so pleased I chose DRS Electrical to install our EV charger. From Emma, who handled all the liasing, to Sam who came to do the site inspection and Max who did the install, it was all seamless. The cabling had to run around the bottom of our house, along the boundary wall, through our flower bed and under our driveway to the EV charger unit, that was mounted on a post, and it has all been so well hidden (not one cable to be seen anywhere!), which shows the attention to detail Max has. If you're after a professional, neat and friendly services then I'd highly recommend DRS Electrical without hesitation.
Great experience with DRS Electrical - after a couple of very unhappy experiences with larger companies I was relieved to find a company that listened to what I needed and deliver just that. The engineer was very informative, happy and open to tell me what he was testing and restored my faith in finding a reliable and approachable company.
Contacted DRS Electrical, as they had previously upgraded worktop lighting in my kitchen, and installed new smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms in the house. This time it was for just a small job, ie replacing a faulty light switch. Emma stated their labour charges beforehand, and offered a next-day call-out. Their electrician Noah arrived within the promised timeframe and completed the task in a short time, both supplying and fitting the new switch. He was pleasant, considerate, and helpful. As an older person, it is a godsend to find a reliable company prepared to do small jobs as well as larger projects. Would recommend this company, for quick response and reliability.
DRS were very polite and professional in carrying out our electrical work and I would be delighted to use them again in the future.
I needed a new power supply in order to convert from a gas hob to induction, and also had a dimmer switch installed. Good advice and clear discussion of options and pricing from Sam, followed by careful and thorough work by Danny. Good communication and willingness to be flexible around my needs. Highly recommended.
I have needed DRS 3 times over the last year to carry our electrical work in my house. I have no hesitation in contacting them as I know that my telephone calls will be answered promptly and work carried out in a friendly and efficient way. Reliability is so important.
Have used DRS for a number of years and they are always so helpful (Emma is so on the ball) and professional and carry out all jobs efficiently and quickly. Cannot recommend highly enough
Super responsive, flexible on times and Max was polite, professional and thorough. Would recommend.
I had a couple of small jobs that needed doing. Max was polite, professional and quick. As arranged, he also scoped out a slightly larger job at the same time, the quote for which I have now received. Highly recommended.
Rapid call out, prompt resolution of problem with failed buried cable...could never have found it myself.
Fantastic service. The team were professional and solutions focused. Would strongly recommend DRS.
We used DRS for electrical work on our new house following a move to Godalming from London. The schedule of work was comprehensive in order to ensure safety and update the electrical system. Overall the standard of work, client liaison and ethos was outstanding. The team were efficient and, most importantly, proactive when it came to safety and advice on all aspects of the improvements. From the initial estimate, coordination and work on site they were always polite, hard working, trustworthy and utterly reliable. I have no hesitation in giving them the strongest recommendation.
Very good service provided by Sam. He arrived promptly and gave me all the information I needed. He fitted a dimmer switch for my sitting room lighting , and also clarified how to use my underfloor heating control panels.
Max did an amazing job. Was an efficient and clean worker and a pleasure to have in our house.
Everyone I dealt with at DRS were knowledgeable, pleasant, friendly and focussed on efficiently finding solutions, would thoroughly recommend them
This company were very clear about when they could attend and providing cost estimates. The work completed was excellent. They have a good team.
Super happy - small simple job required, but quick, very responsive to initial enquiry and throughout, pleasant on the phone and to deal with, would use again
Thank you to Sam and the team for installing an AJAX and Ring based security system at our new home. Lovely people to work with. Prices clear and fair and they always try to find the best deal. Punctual and super tidy. Highly recommend and will book again for any needed electrical work. Thank you for also coming back again to fix our security lights and respond same day to emergency on call. You’re all the best! Thanks team!
I had received and accepted a quote from an electrician who was due to return to lay some cabling for garden works (among other things). The builders commenced work onsite and I was unable to contact the electrician so I Googled and found DRS Electrical and was encouraged by the positive reviews. I phoned just after 8am and Alex took my call and arranged for Emma to call me back about an hour later. Emma pulled out all the stops despite the DRS team of electricians being busy on other work and arranged for Sam to squeeze in a visit later that afternoon to assess the job. Sam gave excellent advice to simplify the cabling methodology (and also on the approach / materials for the other jobs I need doing). Oliver was onsite at 07.30 the next morning to lay the cabling. I had contacted other electricians the day before calling DRS and the earliest availability was August. DRS dealt with the urgent cabling issue first on a time and materials basis and I look forward to receiving a quote for the other less urgent jobs. Everyone I dealt with at DRS was friendly, professional, very responsive and solution focussed. I can’t thank DRS enough for helping me out of a pickle so that the builders were not held up. I highly recommend DRS and 10 out of 5 stars from me! Thank you!
Max did a very careful, tidy job and the admin side was very good too, thank you!
DRS Electrical came highly recommended in the village I live from multiple sources, and it's clear to see why. Their customer service was exemplary and I truly appreciated their patience of explaining and talking through all the issues with me as a layman and little experience of electrics. The work done was great, quick, professional and the electrician they sent round (Noah) was courteous and respectful of our home. Also dealt with Sam their manager, who took the time out to talk through wider concerns we had in our home and on other issues we might have had. All in all felt that DRS went above and beyond - they're a great company and I'd highly recommend them.
Thank you so much to Danny for undertaking various electrical work in our house. I was lucky as I was able to get an appointment fairly quickly. We had a few things that needed sorting, and they were all completed in the same visit. I would definitely recommend and should the need arise, I will use DRS electrical again! Thank you.
Max and the team from DRS were very professional from the initial arranging the appointment to the installation work. Arranged with them to also carry out the annual servicing. Very pleased to have a great local company.
Really pleased with the work. To time, to budget, very tidy and discussed all aspects of the work. Also great Customer Service. Would have no hesitation in recommending.
Great service - have carried out electrical work in our house numerous times to a very high standard. Professional and on time!
Always happy with the work of DRS Electrical. Reliable and responsive, they are my go to for any electrical issue
Thoroughly satisfactory!
Have used DRS Electrical several times. They are an excellent company with curtious and knowledgeable staff. You get "value for money" .
Having just downsized I was anxious for an electrician to complete several tasks at my new home. I phoned 10 from various advertised sites and only 2 answered my call; one could start in 2 months time whilst the only other one actually arrived 2 days later. He (Max) was very efficient, knowledgeable & friendly. The jobs were finished later that day with a final invoice that was most reasonable. I would use them again without hesitation.
Great team of electricians!
Great service as always from Sam & Max! We've used them on multiple occasions and they are thorough, thoughtful and timely with their high quality work.
I used DRS to PAT test several items. Great service, very friendly, very prompt and did a great job. Recommended!
Based on a recommendation from a friend, I contacted DRS to have our old fuse-wire based board with all sorts of redundant add-ons converted to a new RCBO-based board. Sam visited and very professionally explained what would be needed and within a day provided a quotation which we accepted. On the agreed date (a few weeks only) Max arrived and in the quoted two days, stripped everything away and despite a real rat's nest of wires installed the two cabinets with their RCBOs on day one and tested everything on day 2. All worked perfectly. Max was a truly charming young man, very helpful, explained things as necessary and most polite. We would have no hesitation in recommending DRS for electrical work. During all this time Emma in the office was always very responsive with great attention to detail.
Excellent work, which is always completed to a professional standard. Highly recommended.
Sam was very polite and helpful, working with him was a pleasure. Very good and experienced electrician.
Sam is the most personable individual and an excellent electrician. He and DRS have done work at our home for the past few years and all of the results have been superb. We are fortunate to have found them
Sam has done work in our house for over 10 years and we have always found him very reliable and efficient - always prepared to go the extra mile. We used Sam and DRS to put all the electrics into a new barn we had built in 2022/23 and they did a great job. This included installing Phase 3 electrics. I highly recommend Sam and DRS.
DRS Electrical in Bramley, Guildford has today done an outstanding job replacing all lights with LED and replaced all fittings for the lights with modern and secure ones. The fuse board has also been replaced with a secure and modern one. All this was done while we stayed in the house and with no disturbances for us. We can highly recommend them as one of the best in the Guildford area! Richard M
Excellent efficient on time reliable polite and tidy. Did a large variety of big jobs successfully for a fair price
Very pleased with some recent outdoor repairs following very reliable upgrade of electrics/wi-fi/smoke alarms during domestic renovation 5 years ago. Easy to contact and to organise the work with too. Highly recommend.
Efficient and professional from start to finish. Easy booking process and a lovely team to deal with. Very happy with the finish and the solutions suggested to make everything work for us, offering up alternative switch and lighting placements we hadn't considered. Would highly recommend.
This is second time we have used DRS for some small electrical work around the house. Everything is super smooth, the lead time is quite quick, the person (Max in this instance) arrived on time, was friendly and flexible to my last minute alteration. Emma in the office is quick to reply to emails and super helpful. Recommended for sure.
Second time I’ve used DRS for jobs around our house, this time was a smaller job replacing some LEDs under kitchen cabinets. Professional and a pleasure to deal with from the office handling bookings to the engineers. They know what they’re doing and you don’t have to be having a full re-wire for them to give you a good service.
Can’t recommend DRS highly enough. Emma was superb in helping to identify the services we needed, and for allocating resources to meet our tight deadline. Max attended on the day, and was extremely helpful and professional, and a real pleasure to work with. He put in a long day completing all the remedial work required, and we were delighted with the outcome. Definitely our go to team in the future.
Great team, very efficient, tidy and polite. They talked us through everything and made us feel very comfortable with the works, and did a truly excellent job. V happy.
Another lovely piece of work, a small job removing alarm and bell box. Super quick service. Office kept me informed of progress. Well done.
I needed a new power socket installed. Max arrived on time and completed the job (which required drilling through walls and panels in a cupboard), very neatly and extremely quickly. I no longer have to run an extension lead across the sitting-room floor. Thank you Nolan, Emma and Max for such a professional service.
DRS are my first call for all electrical matters. Their customer service is exemplary and every person I have dealt with has been so polite, knowledgeable and helpful, they will always go the extra mile. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Great service, responsive quick and professional company delivering electrical services. Highly recommended.
Everyone who works for DRS Electrical is super helpful and professional. Max has come to our home on two occasions and he is very competent, highly skilled and a perfectionist. We are very grateful. Thanks so much. Best electricians we have met. Highly recommended.
Needed our whole house unexpectedly rewired 😱 which was a bit of a shock! However… DRS were on time, polite, considerate and were just all round great. Hopefully we never need a house rewired again, but if we did would call DRS straight away
Sam visited our home for suggesting us the right way to do our particular job and followed all regulations. Luke is young and extremely talented. He understood my urge for symmetry and repeated the whole process for alignment. After that they all run tests for safety which I didn’t notice other electricians do so far. Will definitely recommend them!!
Really professional and friendly staff. Definitely will be using them again and recommending to friends
Excellent technicians. Nothing is too much trouble. Competitive, on time, efficient and tidy. Our doorbell video now gives us piece of mind.
My partner and I have both used DRS Electrical for our rental properties and home. Impressed by their prompt, efficient and friendly service and would not hesitate in recommending.
