Great friendly and professional service from Barton Electrical. I'd trust them with any electrical job, big or small. Well done to all.
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 👍🏿
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
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.
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.
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. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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!
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.
