Lloyd and his team are friendly, professional and provide great advice. I got an EICR sorted through them, and they were able to turn it around quickly at my request. They even talked me through the report and helped me understand the issues and what needed to be addressed. I would recommend them to anyone! Also being able to book a slot online is a huge bonus.
Lloyd has done a few different jobs since we moved in last year and every time has been amazing. His communication makes everything so easy to understand even for first time home owners like us. It’s so easy to book and get a quote. Nathan has also been round and he is a star. Can’t recommend these guys highly enough!
Unpleasant, unfriendly, and simply rude with an attitude from the start. He only called me to complain, dismiss my inquiry, and just dropped the call on me in the middle of me speaking, not even saying goodbye, but mockingly wishing me good luck with my little project (light switch exchange). I don't even want to imagine working with this person, with his lack of basic communication etiquette, respect, or politeness toward a potential customer. Maybe because we are compatriots, he just let himself go and behaved in this manner. I hope other customers will have a better experience than I did. P.S. The response below is a lie. We exchanged SMSes, emails and had that call.
Very good service. Issue was diagnosed quickly and fixed promptly. Arrival shifted by a couple of hours as the day went on so recommend booking the earliest slot you can to prevent being delayed.
Failed to correctly diagnose fault or fully rectify issue, charge £180, exact same fault returned 2.5 weeks later and was told it would be a brand new job and another call out charge 12-Mar - Electrician attended to investigate and rectify why my hot water cylinder was not receiving power. When the electrician put their multimeter on the contactor to test it, the whole system started working again. Electrician stated they were not sure exactly why it started working again and if it happens again to call and they will comeback. On-site max 30 mins. 30-Mar - I returned from holiday to no hot water. Contacted Lloyd to see if the electrician can return to investigate why the exact same fault has returned and was told it will be a brand new job and another minimum call out charge despite it being only 2.5 weeks after they attended. I was told the original charge was not for full diagnosis nor to fix the issue
I recently had Lloyd to replace some light fittings for me. Lloyd is a fantastic electrician, very friendly, knowledgable and puts the customer first. I’ll be using him for all future electrical work I have planned. 10/10 from me.
Lloydhallowell performed an Electrical Installation Condition Report on my house. Good communication. Addressed several items found not compliant.
I have recently used Lloyd Hallowell Electrics to complete 2 EICR inspections and carry out work to remediate items that are unsatisfactory. The process to request a quote is easy and quick to follow. The communication from Lloyd and the team is excellent, work carried out is to a high standard and the electricians who come on-site are friendly and professional. Prices are competitive and quotes provided show a clear breakdown of items. Cannot recommend highly enough.
I hired Lloyd Hallowell Electrics to rewire a ground-floor extension, install ten sockets and carry out additional electrical work, including changing bulbs and other related tasks. We had written agreements that set out the scope of work and price. The company missed two confirmed start dates without notice; when I chased them, the electrician’s attitude was unfriendly and dismissive. During the installation several items were damaged and, shortly after completion, multiple sockets were loose (plugs would fall out) and a ceiling light began flickering and failed—issues that, in my view, indicate substandard and potentially unsafe work. After issuing an invoice consistent with the original quote, the company presented a second invoice for work I understood to be included under our written agreement; when I queried this they indicated the guarantee would not apply and a completion certificate was not provided. I paid the amounts they demanded to try to resolve the matter, but the installation remained incomplete and defective, so I engaged an independent qualified electrician to complete and certify the work and to correct defects—at further expense. In my opinion, Lloyd Hallowell Electrics demonstrated a lack of professionalism and accountability.
We ended up not having to book the services of Lloyd hallowell in the end but even so they have hands down been the best customer service and consultation we’ve ever received from any trade services. Next time we have any electrical issues we will have no hestitation in booking them!
Lloyd was really helpful from the initial phone call to completing the job. He was very professional and I’m happy I’ve found a trustworthy trader!
Fantastic service from Lloyd! He went out of his way to give me helpful advice before I’d even booked a slot, which I really appreciated. When my bulbs turned out to need an electrician to replace them, he was punctual, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The whole experience was smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t recommend him more! Thank you so much!
Lloyd Hallowell Electrics are highly recommendable. For service, value for money, professionalism and everything you would expect from a trusted electrician, do not look any further than Lloyd. Aside from being professional in his trade, he is genuinely a really lovely man and extremely trustworthy. We have used Lloyd various times but on this occasion his colleague Nathan carried out the job, just as perfectly. Extremely happy thank you again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hired Lloyd Hallowell Electrics for a full house electrical survey (£360). The electrician didn’t allow enough time and had to return. After receiving the report, I contacted Lloyd to book the remedial work—he was polite at first, but then stopped responding entirely, despite no price haggling. I eventually had to pay another company to re-inspect and do the work. Unreliable service with unreliable communication.
Lloyd Hallowell completed an EICR for our new home - the report was incredibly thorough, professional and we were impressed by the level of customer service and communication they provided throughout. Their online booking system made it easy to arrange the appointment and provided transparency on their fees, making the whole process easy to arrange from start to finish. Highly recommend and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
From my first interaction, Lloyd and his team have been responsive and helpful. They were able to take on my job of replacing a kitchen strip light really quickly and offered a competitive rate for the repair. They explained exactly what the problem was and completed the repair professionally and effectively. I was kept up to date at all times. I would def recommend and use again. Good job guys!
Fantastic experience from start to finish - Lloyd was very communicative, patient and helpful in explaining my various options, which I was grateful for. Works (carried out by Nathan) were done to a high standard. Thoroughly recommend, I wouldn't hesitate to use Lloyd Hallowell electrics again!
I needed an electrical timer on an immersion heater uograded, and a switch elsewhere replaced. I was on a tight deadline and they went out of their way to help me get it resolved in time. Communication was great from start to finish, Alfred who came to complete the work was very friendly, polite and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and will use them again in future.
Lloyd is key to the business - we had regular conversation with him to match our needs and really valued his communication and dialogue. When the remedial work came back he was reliable and honest in terms of working out a safe but affordable solution for us so we could proceed with the work sooner rather than later. He constantly replied within the hour when we had questions and his colleagues Alfred and Matthew were top professionals who were really clean, friendly and considerate. I will be going with these guys again when we have more comprehensive work done in the future!
Lloyd and his team did an absolutely fantastic job at our property. The booking system is extremely easy to use and you have full transparency on who is coming to do the work and how they are getting on with the journey. Communication with Lloyd was excellent throughout. He was very quick with responses at all hours of the day (including weekends) and always went out of his way to provide very detailed explanations of what kind of work needed to be done, why they were recommending it be done a certain way, etc. He gained our trust from the very first interaction and we were never disappointed. In terms of the actual work carried out, we first had an EIRC done which highlighted a lot of remedial work required, as the property we recently bought had been somewhat neglected in that respect. We discussed the results with Lloyd and got a very fair and practical recommendation on which items were important vs nice to have. In the end we decided to take him up on most of the work and that required multiple visits, but all was carried out seamlessly. The finished work is to a very high standard and we are overall very happy and would wholeheartedly recommend Lloyd and his team.
Job was done professionally to a standard better than I could have done. Friendly, courteous and respectful throughout, cleaning up well afterwards. The online booking system was really useful too.
Lloyd Hallowell Electrics provided excellent advice on upgrading our electrical system. They explained everything clearly and helped us choose the best options for our home.
Fantastic communication and help throughout the process of a lot of electrical work. I'm a first time buyer and the renovation process was daunting, however I felt supported throughout the process. Lloyd, Alfred & Nathan were diligent and helpful, with Lloyd providing really thorough and detailed communication over email. I plan on using them in the future, and have recommended them to others, can't speak highly enough of Lloyd and the team.
I booked Lloyd Hallowell to replace some light fittings in my flat. They were quick to come back to me with a price, which I felt was reasonable. The electrician turned up on time and carried out the work with no fuss to a high standard. I love my new fittings. I’d highly recommend using this company. I will definitely use them again.
My experience with Lloyd Hallowell Electrics left much to be desired. The technician faced difficulties locating the wire next to the hob, resulting in a four-hour process. Some unnecessary holes were made in the wall during the process. While these issues were eventually addressed, they impacted the overall appearance. Both of which did not meet our expectations regarding the level of expertise. Furthermore, the cleanup in the cupboard was overlooked, and there was a preference for cash payment. Some time was spent on casual conversations, and the total cost for a basic connecting hob job with a certificate seemed high, considering no rerouting needed to be done. Regrettably, there were communication issues, including an unpleasant phone exchange and a subsequent threat after leaving a review. I would approach their services with caution.
