We needed to change the original Fuse Board with a new consumer unit. Two Electricians arrived within the time slot, and changed the unit - fully explaining the differences between our old unit and this new one
Great friendly and professional service from Barton Electrical. I'd trust them with any electrical job, big or small. Well done to all.
Excellent service @ a very reasonable price Will certainly recommend this company.
Have used Barton Electrical for a variety of jobs over nearly a decade now. Everything from basic installation of a fitting or appliance to a rewiring a substantial portion of the house. The team have always been easy to contact, very responsive, punctual and tidy. Everything you would expect and wish for. On the very rare occasion when a follow-up or revisit has been required to deal with an issue, this has always been dealt with speedily and professionally. I would not go anywhere else.
They came and fixed my bathroom fan and move the bedroom light, done both of the in less than an hour. Arrived on time and was very tidy
Bought an Arlo wired doorbell so that I could could connect to existing chime. Problem not enough volts. Contacted Barton Electrical who came and had a look and sent an engineer at a time to suit and solved the problem. Very satisfied with what they done 👍🏿
Same day service, engineer very thorough, restored power, saving my tropical fish.
Alan arrived as promised...and I mean promptly on the dot at 0800am!! What followed was the most courteous and professional service ever! Not only that but friendly too! The work was carried out safely and all work areas were left clean and tidy. I will be calling on Barton again should I need any sort of electrical work and will certainly recommend them to family and friends! Well done and thank you.
Cowboys and extremely expensive even for simple jobs
Excellent service from local, family run, firm of electricians. Work undertaken efficiently and professionally, at a very reasonable cost. Highly rec9mmended.
I had quite a few jobs for Barton Electrical to do in 3 premises and they responded quickly and changed schedules to fit in with my needs. Well done.
I have quite a few electrical problems both indoors and outdoors and in the garage/workshop. Alan turned up and after a quick show around so that he knew where the troubles were he got to work and sorted three very quickly and took details and photos of some others for ordering spares. He will return with spares and can be booked in at a future date. All very well done, thank you. Terry.
I have used them twice now and they have delivered such quick work swapping out my lights. Will definetly use them again if I have any electrical needs! Thanks guys!
Pleasant and efficient
So helpful and professional. Job completed quickly and satisfactorily. Will certainly use again.
Graham the owner is a hugely knowledgeable and helpful chap. And honest. Chris - who he's sent to work on our various projects - is excellent; a safe and experienced pair of hands. A family-owned and run business with old-fashioned customer service; sometimes clichés are accurate. Highly recommended.
Excellent Service
Very quick efficient job which was a small job value for money
The best company for service, reliability and price I have ever used and we have been using Bartons for our offices at Advantage Angels and domestically for years and will continue to do so. 10/10 for all aspects of service and work. Andy Hodgson Director Advantage Angels
Having found an exceptional company to assist with electrical requirements, I take pleasure in being able to leave my thanks to Barton’s Electrical Ipswich for the first class service they provided on the occasions when I needed assistance. Five stars for communication, workmanship and results. I strongly recommend them to anyone for their own needs relating to electrical tasks. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
So far so good, half way through a cart lodge power supply fit, ready for the inevitable electric car. So far they've turned up when they said they would and done what they said they would, and been friendly and pleasant can't ask for much more. I'll let you know how it all turns out
Family run business, friendly and helpful staff.
Really poor. Emailed to no response, emailed again and got a reply. 3 emails later we have finally arranged a visit for 1 weeks time. I wait a week and email on the day asking what time they will be here. I have just been told his car won’t start so won’t be coming. So I’ve just waited over a week when I could have employed a competent electrician to do the job. Waste of everyone’s time.
High quality of work at a reasonable price. Very impressed, would definitely recommend
Great service at a sensible price. Very helpful and speedy response.
They replied the same day to our enquiry (unlike many others), where the best price by far, turned up when they said they would and the job was done quickly and without any fuss. First class service.
We have used Barton Electrical for more than 10 years. They have always been responsive, polite. professional and helpful, going out of their way to get any job done quickly and efficiently. They have visited our office to carry out Portable Appliance Testing, and operated at events to ensure exhibitors’ electrical equipment is compliant, as well as stepping into the breach to resolve venue supply issues whilst on site. They have also serviced and replaced electrical appliances in our home. A company with old fashioned customer service values but up to date knowledge, who we highly recommended.
We have used the services on several properties. Fantastic service: comprehensive , efficient and prompt and great customer communication..
The team from Barton Electrical were professional and excellent service. Arrived on time and work completed as per the quote. Great service Thank you.
I was provided with Barton's number by insinkerator. I phoned them yesterday and today I have a new tank for the hot water tap. All very knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and helpful. I will use again.
I have always found them reliable, and knowledgeable, very happy with their service , I would certainly recommend them to any one who asks.
Barton Electrical have provided me with a professional and friendly service over the last five years. I highly recommend them for their efficiency and punctuality. Andrew Herman
We used Barton Electrical to fix an ongoing issue with our garden electrics. They worked to fix the issue in a timely manner and were able to make a safety recommendation which has improved the system. Good stuff from all at Barton Electrical
Having used Barton Electrical many times over the years,we highly recommend them. They are an honest, very reliable, professional company that provide a very high standard, at a competitive price. We would not use anyone else.. JANE/JAX .
Excellent service, very prompt, were able to fit our small job in the next day and the price was very competitive. Really impressed. Thank you Graham!
If you are looking for a good traditional friendly service at reasonable costs, then look no further.
Local, reliable, friendly, with prices clearly explained so you know what you are paying for. And they are NICEIC members and Part P registered, so you know they are qualified as electricians.
SNOW HOMES own a number of rented houses which constantly need the services of Barton Electrical. They have been my preferred contractor for many years. Their response time is fantastic - same day for an emergency, or next day for normal call out. Diagnostic problem solving seems to be their speciality. In all a very valuable company to know, always friendly and knowledgeable.
Palmer and Partners use Barton Electrical as their first electrician and they have never let us down. They always provide a quick and efficient service with incredibly reasonable prices. i could not recommend them more highly.
this outfit is not customer friendly still have not had any answer to anything regarding payment graham never replied when I was told he would cant get any answer from them straight
Called Barton a couple of days ago after my wife got a nasty shock from a kitchen light shade in our new house. The engineer attending this morning, identified the problem, and as we were changing the lights in the kitchen anyways, completely removed the fitting and (as a bonus) removed the other kitchen light fitting as well. He also explained which wires we'd need to fit into our new fittings. We are also going to need a new distribution unit, which he is costing up for us, and we will definitely be using Barton. Highly, highly recommend this company. Professional, polite, helpful, and friendly!
Experienced, knowledgeable, dependant, reliable with over 40 years in the business, one can understand why Barton Electrical is Ipswich's preferred electrical contractor and a favourite amongst the community. Don't just take our word for it, go check for yourself !
It was the day of my fathers funeral and we had the wake being held at my family home. My family had come from all over and the dimmer switch blew out on the morning before I left the house for the service. My wife called Graham who came out himself to fix it understanding the importance of the day as his staff we're all busy - that is service! Thanks very much, outstanding service at a very sensitive time, and as always, top marks for a Ipswich's most loved electrician.
