Corin Dudley Electrical Services Ltd is mostly described by reviewers as professional and helpful, with several praising solar panel, battery and air conditioning installations. One reviewer said the solar work exceeded projected output, and others described installations as clean, tidy and well explained. Reviewers also mention polite engineers and office staff who respond to queries. One reviewer said a flickering-light visit led to a disputed £160 invoice three months later, which they challenged. A different reviewer described a £927.95 bill with no clear breakdown of repairs or the service contract.
Great Service.Had Pat testing done for salon,very proffesional engineer that visited salon.
A completely professional instalation of a Solar panel system to our house using the very best equipment that is on the market. They handle every aspect in a timely and attentive manner.
Solar Panel installation – April 2026 The whole process of having solar panels fitted to our roof was made very straightforward by the attention given to it by Corin and his team. Corin paid particular attention to addressing concerns that we had about the adequacy of the roof to support the extra weight of the solar panels. The various proposals were set out clearly which allowed us to choose the best combination of panels and battery for our needs. The team installing the panels and the electrical wiring were always helpful, efficient and cheerful, with the work completed in two days. Since then, the weather has been unusually sunny so it is no surprise that the power output from the panels has easily exceeded the projected figures. We would have no hesitation recommending CDS for the installation of solar panels
Superb service from first contact to the engineer leaving. Professional, thorough and reliable.
Just brilliant, prompt service and able to check and resolve two issues. Thanks CDS On my go to list if ever anything happens. X

Great service thank you!
CDS is the definition of excellent service. We had Tesla powerwall, solar and landlords electrical survey and fixes done. Every step of the way, we felt supported by back office, sales and the excellent engineers. Could not recommend this company more highly. Update: 2026, we continue to get excellent service from CDS - Chas is always so responsive, goes above and beyond. Matthew just came out to fix a mantere pump and was so swift and considerate. Everyone we work with here is a pro, but more importantly are customer centered.
I called CDS electrical last year as I had a flickering light fitting, the receptionist on the phone said someone would come out to “have a look” - NO mention of a call out charge or a quote, I assume they are coming to give me a quote. Two young men came round, the flickering had stopped by the time they got there but they spent maximum 15 minutes where one of them had a look and told me there was no issue, the other sat on my sofa and played with my dog, then they went on their way. Imagine my surprise when THREE months later, I receive an invoice for £160! With no breakdown of costs and saying they had carried out works. I obviously disputed this, they accepted that they shouldn’t have charged me for the second contractor present, reduced the amount but still attempting to charge me for no work done. They then proceeded to attempt to take me to court! Absolutely scandalous, and I truly believe it’s because I was a lone woman who they thought they could take advantage of and try to rip off. I have used numerous local contractors in the last year since moving house, and have never had such a negative experience or anyone be anything other than professional and honest, so it’s really a shame that a local business would behave like this.
Approach CDS Electrical regarding the installation of solar panels and battery. Corin carried out a thorough survey and provided us with several options. He was happy for me to view the products at his office, when I asked to see what the panels and fittings looked like. From accepting the quotation, within a few weeks the panels were fitted and up and running (just need some sunshine!). The installation team were very professional and friendly, as were all the admin staff in the office. Following switching energy supplier, Corin spent some time helping me navigate the AlphaSE App, which manages the solar panels and battery. Would recommend CDS Electrical for solar panel installation. The next step for us will be an EV charger, and will be getting CDS to instal, once we have decided which electric car to purchase.
We needed a new roof as it had reached the end of its life CDS came and removed our panels which would be affected leaving the others connected so that we could still generate some power. They stored our panels for us keeping them safe. Once the roofing was complete CDS returned the panels making sure everything was working as it should. Brilliant company, brilliant people. Highly recommended
My service supports people with a learning disability. James from CDS visited 4 flats and was execptional with the people living there. He was patient, re-assuring and really sought to help everyone feel safe. Brilliant customer service, recommend.
Thank you for such a professional service right through from booking the job to completion. Truly an amazing service.
Thank you! Charlie lightened our darkness as have others before him. Thank you to the lovely girls on reception. Keep doing what you do - all with a smile. Happy Christmas all of you.
Had Engineer Matt Harvey with us to repair Zappi EV Charger. Top fella. Called day before to confirm appointment details. Arrived on time. Spent time to assist rebooting the Eddi system and explain it all thoroughly. Nothing too much trouble. Will happily recommend and use again. Many thanks.
From start to finish we cannot fault CDS. From the efficiency of Amy and the team in the office, Graham keeping a very perfectionist and knowledgeable eye on everything and Charlie, Harry & Alfie all electricians who were also very efficient and courteous. All members of staff were respectful to our home and us, were personable and we can't rate them and their work highly enough. We were kept informed every step of the way and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend CDS. We are delighted with our new solar panels and the savings we are making. Thank you all so much.
From day one, Rob came around with no hard sell and told him what I wanted: storage heaters. He listened, said QM150RF for the lounge, it gives out more heat than you have at the moment, and the thermostat will keep it at that temperature, as you only have the front of the building is exposed to the outside. Plus if it could be a sup, temperature, you have an electric fire, but I do not think you will need it. For the bedroom side, a smaller one, a QM050RF. But I did a bit of measuring, and a QM070RF, but it fitted in the space cost a bit more, but I am glad I did, as it was about the width of the one that came out. I did have 2 other quotes, but both were a hard sell
I have recently had cause to use CDS for a few matters. On every occasion they have been professional, courteous and have always done the job required superbly. Highly recommend all round!
I have used CDS Electrical on three occasions, having had air con installed and serviced… I can’t fault anything about the company, the engineering staff are all very professional, friendly, respect your property, and are really clean and tidy. The office staff can’t do enough to help you, from the initial quote to installation you are kept updated with what will happen, and when. If you have any installation or technical queries someone always gets back to you and puts your mind at rest… I also have to give Amy, the office manager a mention, she is genuinely fantastic, sorts anything out for you, she is truly an asset to CDS.
CDS are an incredibly good company, I’ve used them multiple times for internal and external electrical work at my house and I can’t praise them enough, - they have amazing service, are prompt, professional and have excellent engineers and workmanship. Nothing is too difficult, too big or small and they finish their work very neatly. Their office are great, very responsive, and competitively priced. I couldn’t praise them highly enough and would recommend CDS to anyone.
Have used CDS Electrical for a few jobs over the years and they always been helpful and efficient and good value nothing is too much trouble.
Recently decided to have solar panels fit the staff at CDS where very professional from the office team to the installation guys very good
Professional polite efficient what more could i ask for
Thank you to the CDS team from the lovely receptionists who always answer with a smile in their voices to the technicians who always get us two oldies out of trouble. Can’t praise them enough, they certainly deserve the business awards they get and we recommend them to others, so nuff said. Keith and Christine Brown
Great service, punctual and efficient. Thank you
We have used CDS a few times over the years and found them to offer a professional reliable service. Our last job was with our EVCP, the engineer arrived on time and was a credit to the company.
Corin was on hand if we had any questions and so Ross installation was fine a few hiccups with the battery but now all is good just waiting for the summer now
CDS Electrical fitted a new ceiling extractor fan in my bathroom, replaced a faulty external PIR sensor and fitted a new shaver light. Very pleased with the work done. Excellent communication with the company no hesitation in recommending the company for your electrical work.
Very efficient and reliable company. Would definitely recommend.
We have used CDS for many years for our electrical work and have always found them to be a reliable, efficient and friendly company.
I recently acquired CDS services to supply and install a full AC system for Bedrooms in our house. The quote was promptly done and thoroughly explained , we then proceeded to order. A date was set , the installation team were on time and efficient throughout , very courteous and tidy from start to finish. Highly recommended and will use again for certain.
I cannot fault this company and its employees. Nothing has been too much trouble. They respond quickly to any queries and their sole aim is to provide an excellent and professional service
Just had an AC unit installed by CDS and would thoroughly recommend them. The service from start to finish was excellent and all at a competitive price. Harry the installer was friendly and fully explained how the unit works.
CDS did a full electrical refit for my business and now do electrical maintenance . I highly recommend them . Really clean , efficient and helpful.
I recently dealt with CDS when I had some new lighting installed in my salon. I found them to be knowledgeable and helpful right from the start. They provided me with a quote quickly and the engineers sent out were super helpful, tidy and worked around me whilst I was working. Would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future
Five stars aren’t enough..!! I have used CDS on several occasions, and can honestly say every experience with them has been FLAWLESS! From the management team to the engineers, everything has been handled efficiently and professionally. I have trusted to leave the engineers to carry out works within my home when I’m not there, and they have been polite, very knowledgeable and tidy in their tasks. I would highly recommend CDS, and would not use another company now! THIS is how a business/company is meant to be run… communicative throughout, efficiently organised, fairly priced (pay cheap, pay twice!), and highly trusted. Well done CDS, keep up the great work ☺️
After research I chose CDS Electrical and they were spot on.Very knowledgeable and very helpful.
We didn't have to wait long for an appointment for our work to be carried out. The electrician was polite, on time and we knew we were in safe hands. All round very good indeed, and great value gor money. Would definitely use this local company again!
We have used CDS for 12 years and they are a fantastic company, reliable, trustworthy, skilled and competitive with their pricing. Their staff are always very polite and knowledgeable. I use them for business and my private work. Use with confidence.
I would always highly recommend CDS, they’re very professional, friendly and efficient. The work was completed to a brilliant standard. All the staff I dealt with were great! If possible to give more than 5 stars I would absolutely do so.
Great company we can rely on, they turn up when they should & do a good job, staff all good too, thanks again x
We highly recommend this company. CDS Electrical installed a Tesla Powerwall battery with whole home backup a month ago and were also able to sort out a problem with our PV inverter left by a previous company, at no extra charge. From our first point of contact with the office through the initial visit, the installation and the after-sales service we have been extremely impressed by everyone in the company. They were all helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and considerate. The installation was done quickly and the cost was less than other quotes we had received. Everything is working beautifully and the whole home backup facility is a life saver. (We live rurally and get a lot of power cuts - three in the last month - but we no longer have to worry so much about these.) Many thanks to Corin and the team.
£927.95 bill for a disabled family in sheltered accommodation! £801.95 (repairs) what exactly did you repair? + £126.00 what for? (service contract). I will be contacting my landlord and questioning what exactly you repaired! Then I will be going to trading standards.
We used CDS for our solar installation. The system has now been in a couple of months so we have had a chance to get used to it. Our experience with CDS has been positive all the way, yes we had to wait for product availability as we ordered when many items were in short supply but I think it was worth the wait to get CDS to do the work. Don't rush a big project. 5.5kW solar array, Tesla battery, Zappi EV charger, Eddi hot water heating along with all the controls, so the whole system. All working very well and they co-ordinated scaffolding and roof work well. When an extra CT clamp was needed they came and fitted it no hassle when I asked. Our electric car came much sooner than expected so they came and fitted the EV charging point in advance of all the other equipment at relatively short notice - thank you. I would summarise as quality equipment, helpful office staff, good fitters on site and in general a good reliable local company.
I used CDS to install solar panels and all associated equipment including Tesla Powerwall battery storage. I am very happy with the quality of the work and the overall system performance, I would recommend them to anyone considering solar energy.
The team at CDS understood what I needed from an Electric car charger and recommended the right unit. The installation was quick and the installer was knowledgable and friendly. When a small plastic piece on the holder failed a few days after installation it was replaced quickly without any fuss. The app was easy to install and the charger itself performs well at 7.3KW. A excellent experience with CDS and I will recommend to a friend who has just bought a new EV.
Poor driving standards. LR 65 KHB 09.06.22 junction of Brodrick Road and Brassey Avenue approx 07:15hrs. Overtaking a cyclist at the junction and cutting the corner squeezing the cyclist into the kerb and so close that said cyclist thumped on the side of the van. The van then pulled up to the queue of traffic waiting at the level crossing where the cyclist caught up with him. Had the cyclist had recording equipment the van would have been reported to the police for dangerous driving. By the way, did you seriously write yourself a 5star review six years ago as per your reviews?
First class service from start to finish. Work completed as promised and finished to a very high standard and at price quoted. Friendly and helpful staff
Very friendly service. Very professional and very experienced in car home chargers installation. Excellent customer service
CDS electrical completed the portable appliance testing in our nursing home. The service was prompt, thorough and the technician was professional and very polite. We look forward to working with them again in the future. Highly recommended.
Made appointment as agreed, very professional, had different parts should it be required, quick, clean and did a great job fixing a dimmable switch for LEDs (that flickered) in the living room, also did work on two wall lights fixtures in the same room Great company, reasonable rates - i wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again. Straight forward, honest pricing and service.
We work with CDS Electrical as an estate agency and use them for electrical services. They are a very helpful team and always get the job done to a professional standard and also quickly and reliably.
Very impressed with their services , Pac tested my ebikes power supply's very friendly and welcoming. Thank you
Quote given was a lot more than any other electricians. It would have been best to decline quoting instead of offering shocking rates if you couldn't take on the work.
A professional quoting, installation and after care service for EV charger installations - Dave is a credit to your business - highly recommended
So pleased with my new air conditioning systems that were fitted to our new offices by CDS Electrical this week, the guys were clean, polite and very professional. They did a really nice and tidy job and thorough commissioning, testing and walk through afterwards. CDS did fit my 1st air conditioning at my home office 6 years ago and that one is still going strong also. I'd definingly recommend speaking with CDS Electrical if you are considering air-conditioning for home or work.
I am so happy with the service and works carried out by CDS Electrical. This is my first house and I was put at ease from the initial appointment. The engineers were great, arrived on time, so friendly, answered all of my questions and left my house clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommended this company. If I could give them 10 stars I would!!
Early stages of complex work in a church building; patient, careful and good time keeping. Unsure yet of project viability but appreciating honesty throughout. Highly recommended.
Very happy with the service
Very polite, friendly and knowledgeable staff great company
Installed air conditioning in my house and did a really good job. Very neat and tidy, quality workmanship, I found CDS Electrical to be a please to do business with.
Brilliant company, always on time and great staff.
Rude, shoddy workmanship, doesn't answer the phone if he's done something wrong
