Well reviewed overall, though a few reviewers report serious problems. Goodwin Electrical customers often describe Bill and Ryan as friendly, professional and easy to deal with, and many mention clear communication, tidy work and arriving on time. Several reviewers mention new consumer units, EV charger installations and EICRs, and some say they would use the firm again. One reviewer reported being quoted nearly £800 of remedial work after a failed landlord check, then getting a second opinion that passed without question. Another described a phone call about a full rewire in which the electrician raised his voice and talked over them. A further reviewer said an EV charger was wrongly connected against their stated requirements, and another reported rude behaviour from a staff member. The most recent review is positive.
Professional and friendly service. Would recommend
From the initial phone call for a quote to the install, 100% professional and excellent workmanship, highly recommend
Bill and his son did a great job, connecting my Air Conditioner to the mains electric. The wiring was tidy, advising what was happening at each stage, and made sure the isolator outside, was weatherproof with sealant behind it. He tested it , to make sure everything worked. Very friendly and easy to talk to. I will be using him again for sure.
The team at Goodwin Electrical were amazing from start to finish. They upgraded the consumer unit at our HMO and completed the required electrical testing and certification. The work was carried out to a very high standard, everything was left clean and tidy, and the whole team were professional, reliable and fantastic to work with. Really pleased with the service and would definitely recommend Goodwin Electrical.
The installation was very good and professional. On time, great communication. A very pleasant and smooth experience. Weather was not the best, but still 100% professional. Keep up the good work.
Bill did a lovely job very quick and friendly, put a new inverter in as ours stopped working
Very good EV charger instalation and good correspondence and advice
Prompt response and easy to communicate. Provided photos to enable a quote. Job completed on time and very happy with the results. Would definitely recommend and I have done. Thank you.
A first class job from a first class team.
Excellent service, transparent quotation, no hidden “extras”, no nonsense and efficient, I would definitely recommend and would happily use Bill Goodwin again for any electrical needs.
Excellent work as always - prompt and efficient
Bill attended to conduct an EICR for our landlord. Bill identified a number of issues and one of which was potentially dangerous. He was very knowledgeable and informative. We discovered that our Landlord and Letting Agent had failed to comply with the law for the past 5 years. Bill attended a few days later to chance the consumer unit to comply with the current regulations. Should we need an electrician in the future Goodwin Electrical will be my first port of call in the future Thank you so much, we feel much safer knowing that you have rectified all of the issues.
Arrived on time as advised. Kept informed before hand by phone and text about arrival and fitting. Thank you.
Bill did a good job sorting out a very complex house wiring problem. Thanks.
Really helpful with information and good timing and polite
Have used Bills services a couple of times now. Always very professional, reliable and reasonable. Would recommend!!
Very perfessional. Turned up on time and got all the jobs done
Excellent service given installing my new heating themostat. I was very pleased.
Very happy with work carried, prompt and efficient. Value for money, kept us informed of progress at all times. Thank you Bill
Great fast service.
First class EICR service for landlords such as myself. Punctual, thorough, clean at a very affordable price. Certificate was provided in an extremely timely fashion and useful recommendations for improvement made. Highly recommended.
If I could leave zero star I would. Used this firm recently to do a Landlord 5 yearly check on a 1980's house in Plymstock. The installation was failed by this firm with an invoice for nearly £800 of remedial work before a satifactory certificate could be issued. Suspecting I was being ripped off after smart meters were fitted since the last check and western power had reason to visit when power in the street went off and neither saw anything wrong, I employed an identically qualified electrician to do a further check days later and it passed without question. The electricians trade body NICEC are not regulators so can't do nothing and trading standards won't as I'm considered a 'business' as I rent a house out-so off to the small claims court with these jokers for my £150 I paid to get an honest check after this attempted rip off.I do wonder how many other people were forced into doing unnecessary work by these people???
Excellent service from the ETC inspection to the installation of a new circuit board the guys were very informative, professional. Very reasonable pricing would definitely recommend if you want efficient friendly service 😊😊
I have used Goodwin Electrical before to service my EV charger. Unfortunately my charger stopped working, I called Bill and he popped around to take a look within a day. He advised the charger was broken and would need to be replaced. He was quick to quote for the replacement and came within a few days to fit the new charger. Bill recommended the Zappi Glo and I happily accepted his recommendation. So far the charger has been easy to setup and use. It has lots of great features sure a a charging lock and integration with my energy supplier. It's much better than my old Pod Point charger. I highly recommend Goodwin Electrical, they are friendly, competitive and offer a great service.
Prompt and friendly service
I'm very happy with the work Bill from Goodwin Electrical carried out He sorted out a big electrical problem for me and he will be my number one for any future problems He is a superstar!
I had an Zappi Glo EV charger installed by Goodwin electrical and they were efficient, knowledgeable and installed the charger to my needs. Great service, would highly recommend!
Excellent service, great communication would highly recommend Goodwin Electrical.
Phoned up asking if they were at capacity, as I needed a huge job done (full rewire), but once I asked the electrician on the phone raised his voice basically saying "we have the best marketers" and "Our business is doing great our capacity is fine", without letting me even speak. AVOID, electrician has an ego bigger than Plymouth itself.
Ive just had some electrical work undertalen by Bill and team in my property. Bill attended to the work promptly the booking system was very efficent to use. Work carried out was to a very high standard at a very reasonable price Bill was friendly, polite and knowledgable i would highly recommend Goodwin electrical to use and will be booking again for some more work to carry out that i need doing in the near future.
Bill provided an excellent and professional service fitting a new power point and fixing a shower on switch. He gave good advice, was very friendly, and left no debris. I would thoroughly recommend Goodwin Electrical.
Just bought a house and had some concerns with the electrics so gave Goodwin Electrical a message and Bill fit me in promptly for an EICR. He changed a couple of faulty light pendants, repaired a broken cable, and checked the rest of the electrical circuits. He was very friendly, polite, and all for a fair price. Will definitely be calling Goodwin Electrical for any future work
I would very happily recommend Goodwin electrical after they advised and fitted a new Zappi-Glow EV charger to our separate garage - taking care to sympathetically hide cables as needed - and then handling all aspects of notifying both building control and our energy supplier. All this included careful registration and handover of the charger - and software and the Zappi app - all in perfect working order.
We have used father and son Bill and Ryan of Goodwin Electrical on numerous occasions to fit new lighting and sockets around the house and they were our first and only choice to carry out the EICR report to our home and rectify any faults found which in our case was the consumer unit which they installed with minimum fuss. They are a local electrical company and very professional and competent in their work and at a very reasonable price and we highly recommend them.
Have used Goodwin Electrical for some years. Always prompt courteous and efficient. Work of the highest order. Would recommend without reservation. More importantly so would my wife.
We have been entirely delighted with the work done for us by Bill Goodwin. He has been at all times quick, tidy and a pleasure to have working with us. His attention to detail is superb and he does not cut corners. He listens to our views and has given us excellent advice where needed. We would wholeheartedly recommend him and his team.
Goodwin Electrical were very accommodating when we recently bought our home. The EICR they initially completed came back as unsatisfactory, so they quickly booked us in to complete the rectification work. Correspondence to them was answered swiftly. Would definitely use them again, and would recommend.
Very efficient in booking date for work to be done. Professional to deal with and work was completed and well explained. Would definitely use again and recommend.
Great service, friendly and reliable. I’ll certainly be using them again.
We had an extractor fan fitted in the bathroom and the electrical sockets back up and working in the utility room. Really happy with the results! Professional, took the time to explain their work and were super efficient. Will definitely use again for future works.
I had a problem with my solar panels and emersion heater and was finding it difficult to find someone who had the knowledge in the system. I contacted Bill who got back to me promptly and arranged an appointment. Bill was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly and went above and beyond to rectify the problem with the solar panels. Bill replaced the faulty thermostat on my emersion heater, set up and connected the system properly and also advised me on best way to use the system. Now I have hot water and very happy the problem as been resolved. Great service, and I highly recommend Goodwin electrical.
Another great job completed by Goodwin’s. Had an EV charger installed by Ryan and Bill today. High quality work, great guys, friendly service and a decent price! Cheers guys
EV installation excellent service on time on agreed cost despite heavy rain
Bill and his son did an excellent job of repairing our bathroom light, they arrived on time and did such in a timely manner.
Efficient and speedy reply initially, prompt to answer queries, communicative on day of visit and worked quickly to get everything sorted on the day. Tidied up afterwards. Recommended
Ryan visited my home today to fix an electrical fault. He quickly understood the issue and resolved it efficiently and professionally. I truly appreciate your visit and your positive attitude — thank you!
Excellent service as usual. Recently fitted a new heated towel rail for me with no damage to existing decoration. Very pleased with their work.
From first contact to installation cannot fault Bill and his work. Solved a problem with my EV charging installation without fuss. On the day arrived on time and had the charger installed in two and half hours. Also installed new light switch and pendant at the same time. Highly recommend Goodwin Electrical
Firstly I don't like leaving negative reviews unless its needed. We had Bill from Goodwin Electrical given us the quotations for an EV Charger, all correspondence was passed through Bill, and he carried out the installation . Prior to the installation, I sent Bill various emails with information he requested and our system requirements, this included that we didn't want our home battery solar storage system to discharge to the ev charger when the car is charging. Bill arrived promptly on the day the install was due. Myself and Bill had a conversation prior to work commencing, and I clarified with him that the home battery wouldn't discharge charge to the ev charger and his response was I've fitted 100's of these. 4 hours later the installation was completed. We were picking up the new ev car the day after the installation, so we were unable to test the system . When we did charge the car, it drained the house battery. Contacted Bill and he said its nothing to do with the installation but need to speak to Myenergi the ev charger manufacturer. After a lot of time, I got clarification that the system was wrongly connected as per our requirements and all information passed to Bill, he then stated that I didn't give enough information at the time of quotation and that I didn't pass on that our installation had 2 PV systems, this has no relevance in the face that the home battery will always discharge to anything that's connected to the load side of the battery (ev charger). Bill then said additional equipment would be required to obtain what we asked for, so a quotation was produced, By this time I had lost faith in Goodwin electrical and as per there terms and conditions I had to notify them that is was leaving a less than 5 star review. Bill then reissued a revised quote less that half of what was requested, this was also rejected, he then offered a 2nd revised quote at zero cost. I have since had the work completed by another electrician, all is connected correctly and full operational. Other issues with the original Installation, CT clamp fitted in wrong location, Bill quoted a White ev charger, they only come in black and no apologies from Goodwin Electrical. I would say if you have a simple ev installation requirements then Goodwin Electrical maybe a consideration as they are listed o the Myenergi website but if you have a more involved installation then perhaps go elsewhere.
We were really pleased with our EV charger installation. Not a straightforward job in an old house but the guys worked their way through each challenge and communicated with us every step of the way. Would highly recommend.
Bill was very responsive, let me know when to expect him, and left the place very tidy. He clearly explained what would be happening and when and was timely with the quote and date to do the work. The team were respectful, helpful snd efficient. I would highly recommend.
Nice friendly firm. A pleasure to work with, very knowledgable. Would be more than happy to use again.
Electric charger installed today. Very quick and tidy job.
Excellent service.
Very clear and concise communication from arranging estimate to final invoice. Prompt and honest service with very clear estimate. We have had a new consumer unit to fit modern safety standards and lighting/sockets upgraded and shower electrics removed. All works completed to a high standard and no mess left. Would definitely recommend to others.
Highly recommend very polite staff who arrived. They fitted 3 double sockets for us without any damage to the walls. Reasonable pricing for the job carried out. We are very happy with their service and will be using them again.
Excellent service, I managed to blow all the sockets in the house but nothing obvious had tripped in the fuse box, he was able to help me over the phone with pictures of circuit board to save a call out! Explained to me what had happened without making me feel stupid! Will definitely recommend
On time, as quoted. Professional.
Excellent job - quick and efficient
From the first contact with Bill I could tell this was a professional set up, top quality company. Highly recommended
Excellent service.
Bill Goodwin is professional and a reliable and trusted electrical engineer. The work carried out was to the highest standard and have no hesitation in awarding a 5 star rating
Excellent service throughout, thank you. They were quick to reply to messages, and getting to the job. Friendly from the outset, nothing was too much trouble, and Ryan gave clear explanations of the fault, the repair, and future adjustments. I would definitely use them again and happily recommend their service.
Lovely helpful gentleman with loads of experience. The problem was in the national grid supply box, but having him again soon to check out all the electrics and do a check.
Bill and Ryan have been superb throughout. We moved to an old house with many electrical problems. They took us through each aspect providing advice and were great value. The initial work has been completed to a high standard and we will be asking them back when we begin our extension. Can’t recommend them enough.
Very professional and knowledgeable Definitely recommend
Had EICR check carried out. Fair pricing. Received quote and EICR certificate quickly. Turned up on time and very professional. Would recommend them.
Was done very well and was done quickly with no errors!
got the jobs done efficiently
I am so pleased to say that from start to finish I have had an extremely positive and satisfying experience with Goodwin Electrical. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project I was kept fully informed and the work carried out with efficient professionalism. I highly recommend their services.
I had my ceiling light's fitted on Saturday 28th June by Ryan from Goodwin electrical. Nothing was too much for him & he even assembled my ceiling fan without any issues. Great pleasant guy & i would definitely recommend anyone who needs any kind of electrical work to contact them. Very experienced & professional in what they do
Used for a small job. Seemed good when getting quotes, when it came to the work being done Ryan was rude to myself and my kids and in general had a horrible attitude. Would not recommend I’ll be going elsewhere in future.
Would highly recommend Goodwin Electrical. Brilliant customer service and amazing work. Needed work done ASAP and managed to fit me in. The work was completed to a very high standard, making us feel safe and secure. Everything was explained well. Will definitely be using again. Can't thank them enough.
Goodwin electrical completed all the work has discussed ensuring clear communication of what was being done. Bill was friendly and left the area clean and tidy.
I don't know anything about electrics but when I moved into my new house I knew they needed looking at just from the age of the fuse board. Bill and his team came round and did a quick assessment to come up with an accurate quote. Once agreed they were able to come out within 2 weeks, they were quick, efficient and installed a new fuse board and EV charger and kept me informed throughout. I would recommend these guys to anyone! Knowing that they're registered with the NIC is a huge bonus to!
Bill from Goodwin Electrical kindly visited us yesterday to inspect the functionality of our solar panel array and installation. He was thorough, honest, professional, and extremely courteous throughout. We really appreciated his expertise and the time he took to ensure everything was checked properly.
If carlsberg did electricians……. Absolutely superb. After literally months of shoddy customer service from octopus, in desperation I contacted Bill with regards to fitting my long awaited EV charger. Emailed him on Sunday, instant response and quote, site survey on Tuesday, fitted on Friday. Absolutely delighted, really tidy job, slaved through torrential rain and helped me set up. Cheaper than octopus too. I so wish I’d contacted Bill in the first place. Thank you.
I recently hired Goodwin Electrical and I couldn’t be more pleased with the work done. Showed up on time and the job was done quickly and without any issues. Would 100% recommend and will be calling them again if I need anything else done.
Bill and Ryan are thoroughly knowledgeable about their craft. The wealth of experience is impressive as is their professionalism and methodical attention to detail. On top of that they are really nice to talk to and very engaging. Prompt, efficient and superior service at all times. The work they’ve done for me has been fantastic and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a professional and trusted firm! Many thanks again! Thrilled with the results of your work! A+
Contacted Goodwin Electrical to install an EV charger. Absolutely professional service from Bill and his son. New consumer unit also fitted as existing one overloaded over the years by previous electricians before and after we purchased our property. No pushy selling techniques just clear advice on what was necessary to keep our home and ourselves safe. Quotation for work was completely transparent as to what was and what was not included. Moreover Bill is a nice man to deal with and any advice he gives is invaluable to those who know little or nothing about electrics. Wish we had come across him earlier. Would highly recommend to friends and family
Just had an EV charger installed and I am really impressed with Goodwin Electrical from start to finish. Very friendly, customer focussed approach with a professional manner. Everything has been done to time and cost without any fuss, nothing was a problem - the installation is first class and I have no complaints - highly recommended!
All good work done yet again Arrived on time got on with the job no hassle or disruption clean and efficient Did exactly what was asked for great job Thankyou
Was really happy with the service and it didn't take long to fit what I need doing would recommend them if a electrician is needed
Bill has been our 'go to' lekkie for the last few years. A friendly, competent professional (and observed all covid rules at that time). Prompt and efficient, would not hesitate to use again.
Bill was at our property within hours of our initial call. He fixed the bathroom pull cord which had worn away, meaning the light could not be turned off; he changed a broken socket; checked the heating system, and tweaked the boiler output to provide hot water. Bill is extremely professional, competent, clean and helpful. The cost of his work was reasonable. I could not give higher recommendation, and I am pleased to support a local firm.
A brilliant professional service installing my EV Ohme home Pro. I can’t thank you enough for the work done and advice. I would highly recommend you to my friends.
Very pleased with the excellent job bill did for me.tidy,efficient and great communication.i highly recommend bill to anyone.
5* service from Goodwin Electrical as per usual today. Bill and Ryan arrived on time and did the job in hand to fit a new circuit and under sink water heater neatly and with no fuss. Thanks again both, great job !
Quick, reliable, and honest service. Great quality work—would definitely recommend!
Thanks Ryan, great job all cleaned up after will use again
Goodwin Electrics Contractors I would recommend any time they are very professional and safety is paramount and only to willing to help with questions, In my case when they transferred and replaced an old fuse box to a new location including further ancillary work.
Bill and Goodwin Electrical were first rate. I cannot praise them highly enough. Bill came to replace ceiling lights and had it done in no time and with no fuss. They went out of their way to find chrome lights which have made a real difference to the ceiling in the bathroom. They were professional, efficient and competent and I would certainly use them again.
I requested an EICR for a property I’m buying. Bill was prompt, polite, had clear communication throughout. He navigated a road bump with a key mix up at the estate agents and came back the next day, without complaint (which he would’ve been entitled to do!) to complete the survey. The report was delivered quickly, the price was extremely reasonable and I would definitely use Goodwin Electrical in the future if any work needed doing.
I have used Goodwin electrics for sometime now. They did a full house re-wire for me. Now I have used them to put electric into my garage. They are very professional and reliable, Bill the owner and Ryan his son are very nice people and explain everything as they go. Their work is amazing and it’s great to have them here working. I highly recommend and will be having them back again for my next project.
Goodwin Electrical carried out a thorough installation of an EV charger at my property. Despite the slightly unusual layout of my property, they were able to provide a tailored service and managed to install it exactly as I had hoped. Would most definitely recommend to anyone thinking about an EV charger installation in Plymouth.
Speedy, excellent service. Very polite young men. Many thanks, won't be going anywhere else for my electrical work. Fantastic service.
Workers showed up on time and didn’t stop working until the job was done and cleaned up after themselves. The whole process from asking for quote to final job was easy and well communicated. I would recommend Goodwin Electrical if you are looking for reliable electricians.
Bill and his team recently carried out an install of a new Consumer Unit, Kitchen, Bathroom and External Security Lights. We were kept informed all through the Installation and the communication was very good from his team. They were always timely, helpful, polite and very willing team who were constantly asked the normal customer questions. They respected my property and were always a cheerful.
Had an unexpected part shut down of our electricity supply to downstairs on Saturday. Was not able to reset the rcd box so called Goodwin electical for assistance. Was able to speak via the chat box which I must say was a good experience. Unfortunately they weren't able to offer an emergency call out but luckily we were able to keep freezer &tv working using an extension reel &the upstairs electric.A visit was arranged for Monday so not too much of an inconvenience. If the situation had been more dire would need to have gone elsewhere. However as I have done business with this company before I was more than happy to wait for them.Always professional methodical in working out the problem clean tidy &very polite .Cannot fault them.Always happy to know they will be there to sort out these issues .Long may they stay .Thankyou Bill &son .
Easy process from start to finish. Very good communication and great job completed.
Bill and his team were very professional from start to finish. Good communications, clear written quotations, discussed options regarding the work, flexible on start dates, onsite on time and respected our property at all times whilst working. The work (instillation of a PIV System, Shower Fan plus additional Bathroom Fan, and Kitchen Hob Extraction Fan) was completed to a good standard and unforeseen obstacles were easily overcome. Additional extra work (Loft lighting switch) was also undertaken upon request with no fuss. Many thanks to Bill and his team, I would happily recommend and use again. Kind regards Rob
Two very pleasant chaps removed their shoes on arrival and carried out the electrical inspection quietly and efficiently, keeping us informed of what they were doing. Very polite and friendly fellas. I shall certainly use Goodwin Electrical for any future electrical work.
Contacted Goodwin electrical as we had a very old fuse board that needed upgrading to current times and code contacted Goodwin and got a very quick response which they then booked a appointment to quote for works got a quote which was very easy to read paid the deposit for works to be completed and works date was booked in quickly. Very good communication with follow up texts and emails confirming time of arrival on the day 2 really nice young chaps installed our fuseboard and earth bonding I had a small thing that I wanted changing after the lads left and they even come back the next morning to make the adjustment 5 star service from start to finish would highly recommend going with this company. Also really nice to see a company taking on an apprentice/learner. Highly recommend. Thank you from Bradley and jemima.
Bill was 100% professional, and provided a solution for my problem when the original installer had gone but and the original equipment provider took 2 weeks just to pass my request for help to their technical department! The work has been carried out to the highest standards, Bill braved failing light and a rain shower and stayed until he'd completed the job fully, including walking me through the associated app. 100% recommended!
The estimate, survey and fitting were done quickly. The system was fitted , explained and the app set up within 3 hours. The lads who did the survey were told about the solar panels, and the meter for Solar was next to the fuse box. However, they failed to mention this when the final estimate was issued and I had to pay for an additional clamp. It was only £24, but it was unexpected! Other than that I would recommend using Goodwin Electrical.
Timely response to all communications, high quality service, and kept us informed. I would definitely use again. Thanks very much.
Excellent service and the team were very polite and punctual. The work was carried out to a high standard and no mess was left. Really impressed and already requested another quote. Excellent service
They were both polite and very friendly Having them back tomorrow to do some more work Would Highly recommended this company Just had Goodwin Electrical out 25 / 10 / 23 Excellent job as always No job is to small, very polite and very good quality of work
Quick quote to replace a solar inverter. Installation arranged for the following week. Arrived on time and messaged beforehand. Jobs a good un!
Rang Goodwin Electrical with an electrical problem they came out within a couple of hours, Ryan was efficient and helpful and problem was quickly resolved. Will recommend them 100%
The work was carried out quickly and efficiently, the men were helpful even after the work had been carried out and I had queries. I would 100% recommend thus company
Excellent service. Installation of EV Charger completed within a few days of enquiry.
From quotation to prework site safety visit / check and completion of the electrical work. (New consumer unit and changes of wiring where required) a totally professional , courteous and reassuring company to deal with Brilliant service, lovely guys who detailed and explained everything that was being completed and gave total re-assurance and could not be more helpful with answering any queries or questions Highly recommend this company for any electrical work you need completing without hesitation. Thank you Bill, Ryan and your team
Great Communication. On time, very polite, great job done. Thank you very much. Will be using you again.
Knowledge, helpful, and on time
Excellent prompt service. I would recommend this company.
I used Goodwin Electrical for some insurance work which required my solar panels on my roof to be removed with some scaffolding to be put up as well. Goodwin Electrical actually arranged the scaffolding as well! All the way through the process his team kept me informed on everything that was needed to be done with clear deposit requirement and clear payment details. Whilst Goodwin were here I actually mentioned a light in my kitchen that needed doing and they replaced it with a lovely L.E.D light fitting! Many thanks Goodwin Electrical. I highly recommend this business to anyone.
Hands down best tradesman I've ever used. Was prompt, professional, understanding of the job required, was able to diagnose what I needed done without pushing for more intrusive solutions, was understanding about my work situation and was able to complete the job with me being away from site. They scaled down the job on the day as the job was discovered to be simpler than expected and adjusted the price accordingly. They were also able to complete the job without requiring me to cover up the work through replacement tiles, reapplying vinyl flooring and painting over plaster etc so the money I've saved has been a godsend. Thank you Goodwin electrical. Honestly, I couldn't recommend them more.
Bill and Ryan Goodwin, did some work for me over the 2 days, absolutely 1st class service they are both very knowledgeable, polite and genuine gentleman. They kept me informed at all times, with all the worked carried out. I would highly recommend Goodwin Electrical.
Very poor service. Wanted a simple item removed, was provided a quote and told it would be completed promptly. When he arrived, the bill was extortionate. When liaising with the males they were argumentative and unprofessional. Would highly recommend not using them and looking elsewhere.
Bill cracked on with the job, was polite and friendly- yet unobtrusive and he kept us informed regarding the job from start to finish. We highly recommend the company.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Goodwin Electrical and we will be calling on their services again once moved down into the Plymouth area.
Professional, efficient and very helpful
Great communication. Responsive. Understood the requirement well and quoted accurately. Arrived on schedule and completed very tidy work. Will use again.
Although I agree Goodwin Electrical haven't done anything wrong, I feel I still have to leave a less than satisfactory review to be truthful of my experience.
Was able to come in for a quote on the weekend which was super convenient. The work was carried out very quickly and to a great standard. Would definitely recommend.
Bill and he's son were very professional, outstanding communication from getting a quote to having the work done ( changing an EV charging point) arrived on time and completed the work quickly. I would recommend Goodwin Electrical.
Ryan Connor and Gabriel very good polite professional friendly clean would highly recommend them
A great service from Goodwin Electrical - as always. Thank you Bill!
Very pleased with the work done by Goodwin Electrical. Very professional, knoledgeable and friendly.
A few years ago, Bill replaced my inverter and recently he came to sort out a resistance problem with my PV panels. Very happy with the work carried out. Would definitely recommend
Very pleased with the professional service and reasonable costs
This is quite simply an excellent business, right from the internet enquiry Bill was prompt, clear and very professional. Always on time and the work was very well done. He gave good advice and ideas. Very clean and so professional. Would not hesitate to recommend, in fact we quickly asked him back to do a second job. We will definitely be asking for Goodwin ELectrical's help in the future!
Goodwin Electrical have dealt with me, on behalf of my elderly mother, in the installation of an electrical board and an electric combi central heating system in a tenanted property during the pandemic lock-down! SO MUCH COULD HAVE GONE WRONG HERE!! I have to say therefore that their service has been exemplary. They have provided information promptly: they have clearly set out what they would do: they have done exactly what they said they would do: they have done it at exactly the time they said they would: they have completed the job to a high level of satisfaction. Given the various parties involved, communication has been crucial and they absolutely nailed it. I could not recommend their services highly enough
10/10 professional, punctual, polite, knowledgeable and efficient. I had a landlords safety check and remedial work carried out by these gentlemen. I can not recommend them enough. Easy to arrange works over email. Thank you Goodwin.
Bill and Ryan are consummate professionals. So knowledgeable, efficient, polite and friendly. I can thoroughly recommend Goodwin Electrical.
Professional service throughout and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a knowledgable and reliable electrician.
Ryan and his team did a great job, took the time to explain what they were doing, were polite and tidy - I would thoroughly recommend.
Highly recommended electrician, I will definitely use them again.
Highly recommended. Excellent service, communication and professional approach
Bill and Ryan always provide a reliable and friendly service. They are always willing and able to explain everything they do. They are tidy and I trust them, which is why I go back to them every time.
Officially it was Bill's day off, but he was extremely polite and helpful. Having described the problem I sent him a photo of the fuse board which showed that none of the trip switches had tripped. He quickly called me back and his advice enabled us to sort the problem without him making a visit. Will definitely keep his details on file!
Bill was available at short notice and was able to quickly identify the source of the problem at my property. Bill resolved the problem swiftly and professionally.
Everything went smoothly. 100% Recommended
Bill arrived within an hour of contacting him with an emergency and worked methodically to remedy the problem quickly. Professional and courteous. Great service. Intend to use again for other electrical work.
Bill and his team have provided an outstanding service. As a homeowner, the hope is that when you invite the trades in, they meet your every expectation. Goodwin Electrical have exceeded my expectations; highly professional and expert advice that can be trusted. It is comforting to know that Plymouth has such a high quality and honest local buisness. I have no hesitation in recommending them to other homeowners and businesses.
Best price out of 3 quotes. Very professional and polite, replaced consumer unit, found faults and completed remedial work necessary. Would use again.
Once again very simple and straightforward process in getting a quote. Quote was reasonable in price. Bill completed the job as described in quote and took great care.
Had an emergency with light switch that was burning. Phoned Goodwin Electrical who came round within 20 mins of call and fixed the problem there and then. Excellent, friendly service and highly recommend.
Goodwin Electrical are excellent. We rang them to report a fault on our Solar system and later that day Bill arrived as promised, tested the system and identified the fault. Then he promptly helped us to liaise with the manufacturers to organise a replacement of the faulty equipment using the guarantee which we had thought had long since expired. Bill was tidy, courteous and efficient in every way and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone!
Prompt response with competitive quote. Very polite workers and excellent, clean and tidy, work.
Really professional, punctual, and very helpful. I highly recommend.
Excellent power and lighting to our garage - will use again.
We have used Goodwin Electrics several times and always find them very professional. They respond quickly to arrange a suitable time. The work carried out is 1st class. Ryan is very friendly and always explains in great detail what needs to be done and gives assurance that the work completed is safe and meets standards. We would not hesitate to recommend Goodwin Electrics.
I used Bill to fit an electric fan in my bathroom. He was very quick to reply to emails from me, when organising the actual date and time. When he came to do the job, he was punctual, very knowledgeable about his trade and I knew I was in good hands. What was equally important to me was the fact that he was totally trustworthy: I happily left him to it and got on with something I had to do donwstairs. No need to look over this one's shoulder. I will always use him in future (his card is now on the fridge door!!) and wouldn't even bother to get a second quote from another electrician.
Efficient, professional, courteous and very good quality work. Would absolutely recommend.
We needed an electrician to visit one of our lettings properties on a Saturday morning and Goodwin Electrical did not hesitate to help us out. Very efficient and reliable. 5 stars.
I had Bill and Ryan come in and redo much of our electrical work in our flat. I cannot say enough good things about them. They have done outstanding work to make our flat safe to reside in. Not only were they very professional, they showed us what they were doing and when things needed to be done. I would highly recommend Goodwin Electrical to anyone who needs work done. Thank you so much Bill and Ryan!!
Very pleased with the work; moving ceiling lights and adding sockets. Punctual and responded very quickly to my enquiry. Very happy customer.Would recommend!
Great job by Bill Goodwin - I do recommend Goodwin Electrical.
Excellent service from Bill, Ryan and their apprentice, turned up on time and got on with the rewire, great job done thanks guys
Prompt and efficient service to troubleshoot problems with the control system for an external security light circuit.
We have been so pleased with the quality, courtesy and professionalism of the full rewire that team Bill and Ryan have just completed. We didn't make it easy by living in the property while the job was done. Much as I hope we don't need to call on them in the near future, there is no question who I'll be contacting when I get round to converting the loft to a studio! Well played men.
I used Goodwin Electrical to assess the electrics on a property I was buying. I have found Bill to be incredibly professional and efficient and would not hesitate to recommend Goodwin Electrical.
Needed some outdoor power points. These guys carried out a survey, provided a quote and did the work to a high standard, all within a week. Have no problems recommending this company, very efficient, friendly and informative.
We thoroughly recommend Bill and Ryan. Used them for everything we needed electrical since last year and they have always finished a great professional job and left site clean and tidy.
The internal electric upgrade was carried out quickly and so very well at a totally reasonable cost. Thank you Goodwin! Alan
Bill installed a new consumer unit (fuse box) for me. He provided prompt, efficient and polite service throughout. I would certainly recommend Goodwins if electrical work/ repairs are needed
Would highly recommend Bill. He serviced our solar panels and providing a very thorough inspection and report.
I've used Bill and Ryan on many occasions and they are always on time, tidy and very reasonably priced. Extra bonus - no loud radio music whilst they work! Will definately use again - highly recommend this father and son team. Thank you Bill and Ryan, Liz Smith
Professional, thorough, courteous, helpful and friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We have had Bill and Ryan complete many jobs over the past years, including external and internal lighting, ultra quiet ventilation fans as well as various other items. All of the work is carried out professionally and to a high standard. Both Bill and Ryan work to a high standard, on time and clear up on completion as well as offering excellent advice. I would highly recommend them for any electrical work.
Called Mr Goodwin (Bill) late morning on 6/11/18 to undertake testing and certification of my home electrics. He was able to come within an hour and completed the testing within another 1-2 hours. By the end of the day, I received my certificate. Very efficient and courteous service.
An excellent job completed quickly and tidily. We would definitely ask Bill to complete any future electrical work. Thanks.
Ryan and Lewis managed to come into our nursery and replace and restore quite complicated lights all in under an hour. They were so helpful and efficient and at a very reasonable cost I highly recomment them.
Good service at a great price. The extractor fan is very quiet and does the job. Recommended.
Quick fair price quote. Appointment made to fit in with us. Good clean work carried out. Overall a very good experience. Would recommend .
I looked around quite a bit before choosing to go with Goodwin Electrical. I chose them because of their excellent reviews. Communication was great. Quick to provide quotes and fit the work in. I initially had an outdoor power socket put in and then later a bathroom extractor fan. Work was always completed with great care and attention. They'll be my go to electricians for future work and would highly recommend them.
Word of mouth will prevail.....damaged my property and threatened with debt collectors. Would you employ such a person.
We are a small charity called Forgotten Veterans UK which supports our military veterans and their families. One of our Veterans needed a new isolation switch installing and the Charity contacted Bill and received first class service. He understood the urgency and the requirement immediately and gave assurance that the company understood the needs of the vulnerable. This was proven out by the service received. On time at a good price this is an excellent company to deal with.
Found Bill very helpful . Efficient in providing what we thought was a reasonable quote for the work to be carried out. Actually did the job with his two assistants (one his son) in a very timely, efficient and friendly manner. Completed well within promised timescales , kept disruption to a minimum, and tidied up well before leaving. Would highly recommend
So difficult to find trusted tradesmen, The guys who replaced my hob this morning, a pleasure to have in my home. Top notch job guys. I can't recommend you highly enough. Wouldn't hesitate to have you on my next electrical job when needed. At really competitive rarest too. Thanks!
Efficient, polite, highly professional, courteous, tidy and hard working. The two gents worked solidly from 9 am until the job was done, explained what was going on as they did it, listened to any concerns or queries my wife and I had, and even offered some aftercare tips for the next day! Highly recommended.
Recommended, reliable, efficient and very competitively priced, have used twice and intend to use again
Goodwin electricals returned our e-mail within one day and had arranged to see us within four days. The job was done quickly and Bill was very friendly and professional. The service provided was excellent value for money.
Very professional, knowledgeable and courteous.Used Bill at Goodwin Electrical to undertake an Electrical Safety Certificate. Excellent service from start to finish. Would definitely recommend.
Bill and Ryan helped us out at very short notice when we were backed into a corner by our home buyers to complete an electrical inspection prior to exchange. Ryan arrived to complete this and ended up spending most of the day with us to complete some essential additional work. Ryan was friendly, polite professional and clearly very skilled in his trade. Bill's follow up with us with the necessary paperwork we required to complete our sale was very prompt. The cost of the work was very reasonable. We would highly recommend Goodwin Electrical - they helped us out and provided the reassurances we needed at a very stressful time. Thank you very much!!
Excellent electrician. Bill was happy to answer any questions and provided us with everything we needed. Professional, polite and friendly - everything you could want from a local tradesman. Work was of a very high standard and he solved faults a previous electrician couldn't. Would highly recommend and we'll be using Bill for all future work.
Bill was prompt, efficient and carried out all work to a v good standard. Nothing was too much trouble, he explained everything carefully and organised all aspects of the work, scaffolding, deliveries, paperwork etc. He and his team were pleasant, tidy and diligent. I am confident in the work and that Bill will be available to answer any future queries I may have. Thank you.
I called Bill when my power went out, he came round straight away, excellent job.
We are very pleased with the work that Bill carried out in my father-in-Laws house. He gave us a clear quote for the work and left it with us so we could make a decision in our own time. When he came to carry out the work he was very professional and kept us well informed of his progress. We are pleased with the standard of his work and will definitely use Goodwin Electrical again for any future work. Based on our experience, I would highly recommend this company.
