I had a great experience with John. He completed my EICR report and also identified and replaced a faulty RCBO during the inspection. He was very easy to communicate with, flexible when arranging appointments, and worked efficiently and professionally. He explained everything clearly, which I really appreciated. Overall, excellent service. I’d highly recommend him.
John did what he said he would when he said he would for the price He said he would without any dramas a breath of fresh air Recommended

John recently carried out an EICR report on our property, followed by necessary remedial work.

John Thompson has undertaken EICR reports and other electrical works for us. We have found him professional, a good communicator, provides sound advice and always leaves the property neat and tidy. Very happy to recommend.
John carried out a range of work, including replacing an old fuse box and some internal and external lighting. He is very helpful, polite and professional. As others have said, he works quickly, does not create unnecessary work and charges a reasonable price. He followed up to check all was well and supplied certificates promptly. A valuable contact, especially in London!
Great experience using John for my EICR. Prompt and professional and I received my report quickly. Highly recommended for anyone needing an EICR or electrical work. Would definitely use again!
John replaced some recessed bathrooms lights for me, quickly and professionally and at a reasonable cost. He was an excellent communicator, keeping me updated along the way and sending photos of the completed task. Will be keeping his number for future work. Highly recommend. Thanks John.
Overall great experience, I highly recommend John. He is very reliable and solved our problem for a completely reasonable price. He organised and brought the parts that were needed and explained everything clearly. In our case the problem was an extractor fan that did not work. John figured out that the fan wasn't broken but that there was an electrical issue in the light switch. He also installed a new bathroom light. If I have any electrical issues again, I will definitely call John!
My oven was tripping a fuse and when I phoned John he very helpfully worked out with me on the phone what was going wrong, and suggested I get a new heating element. I did that and it was easy to replace myself using Youtube video. Thanks a lot John! Highly recommended
John helped us out by fixing a number of different electrical issues we were having with a broken socket and some overhead lights. He diagnosed the problems and resolved everything very well. Highly recommended!
I have been introduced recently to John by recommendations on our neighbourhood blog and I have been delighted with his work on the flat I rent out and on replacing my kitchen spotlights with long lasting LED bulbs. He is very efficient and his charges are reasonable.
John has been a great help in getting my EICR test done and fitting my new oven. He has always come promptly, been very reliable, and the experience has been entirely hassle free.
John recently came round to replace an old extractor fan in our kitchen. The work was completed skilfully and quickly, and John was friendly and professional throughout. He even contacted us a few days later to check it was working satisfactorily and gave us some useful advice. I would definitely recommend his services!
John has changed over LED lights for us and fitted a new oven. He's always prompt, reliable and friendly and does a great job at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
John recently carried out a EICR, as well as some electrical maintenance at our 1 bed flat in Archway. His communication was fantastic throughout, and he was always considerate to our tenants. He arrived when he said he would, and the work cost what he said it would. He is friendly, polite and an all round excellent electrician. I would highly recommend his services. Many thanks.

John is an excellent electrician who goes above and beyond to find and implement the right solution. I am really happy with the quality of his assistance in replacing a broken electric panel heater and I will definitely reach out again if I need an electrician.
John is a reliable, experienced professional electrician, he has completed the work with quality and on time. Highly recommended.
i employed John to fix my bathroom light pull and he arrived punctually to repair it. Then a day later when I broke the lamp in said bathroom, he came back and fitted a new one. Whilst here I asked him to fit a new ceiling lampshade in my bedroom which involved removing the old fitting He did this too and I am delighted with both lights. It is so difficult to find good tradesmen in this city so to have discovered John is such a bonus. Can highly recommend him.
I can’t recommend John highly enough. He managed to diagnose and solve a tricky problem where one of our circuits was constantly tripping out. He made every effort to explain clearly what he thought was happening and it all made sense. He was punctual, courteous, intelligent and professional, and his rates were very reasonable. I will definitely use John again – in fact I’ve already booked him in for a different job involving the replacement of a very old consumer unit.
We had a very bad experience with this electrician. He visited the flat twice to solve some electrical issues in the bathroom but even after his two visits, the electrics failed again after one or two weeks. He also worked on some wiring in the kitchen and left the switch panel in a very unsightly way, only adding some tape to cover this when we asked him to. The tape work didn’t look professional at all. After some issues between him and our landlord at the time, this electrician stopped answering to our messages, basically “ghosting” us which is not professional at all. According to our landlord at the time, this electrician claimed that we didn’t let him finish his work properly and this is why the electrics failed later on. This is a blatant lie, which adds to the general misunderstanding between all parties. If you want a good service, go for an electrician who will keep a professional and polite manner at all times. This electrician is not the one for that!
John came in initially to make safe a dangerously faulty dimmer switch, and followed up with dimmer switch replacements and the installation of track lighting. John is professional, friendly, easy to communicate with and his rates a reasonable. He comes highly recommended.
John was great to work with and I would highly recommend him. We needed our cooker hood replaced on short notice and John made the whole process smooth from booking through to completion. He was nice to speak with, professional, clear in explaining what was going on, showed a lot of respect for our property and did a great job. He was also very affordable. He completed the job within 24 hours of asking and to a high standard. John provided an exceptional service and we will definitely use him again for future work.
