T Darby (Electrical) Ltd is a family-run electrical firm that reviewers describe as prompt, professional and knowledgeable. One reviewer says a boiler repair was done at short notice, while another reports that Jack explained the work clearly. Several reviewers mention Tim, Jack, Will, Josh or Stu by name, and one says Will carried out emergency lighting testing at Trushape UK. One reviewer reports a foul-mouthed individual who tried to drive into them, and another says two men spent five hours on electrical gates before charging a five-hour diagnostic invoice and quoting for a part that later worked fine.
T.Darby (Electrical ) Ltd. Did a boiler repair job for me recently. A great guy, really knew his stuff, did a brilliant job, and did it at short notice. I would recommend.
Hope you all had a fab weekend . I just wanted to say thank you . As always Will was brilliant , very professional and thorough conducting our emergency lighting testing at Trushape UK. On a personal note Stu was also fabulous getting the jobs done around my house and it was great to meet the newest member of your team ( gave him a nice challenging chandelier to put up he nailed it ) I will continue to recommend the high standards that you all have a T.Darby electrical .
Jack did an excellent job and explained clearly what was done and why. I will definitely use T Darby in the future for any electrical works.
Excellent Service, thoroughly recommended!
Unprofessional, disrespectful, foul mouthed individual , thank you trying to drive into me .
I had an excellent experience with T Darby Electrical. They were punctual, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. Josh quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything in a way I could understand, and completed the work efficiently with great attention to detail. What I appreciated most was the honesty, no unnecessary upselling, just straightforward, high-quality service. The workspace was also left clean. I highly recommend T Darby Electrical to anyone needing reliable electrical work. I’ll definitely use their services again!
Great people to deal with, proper family business.
These guys Tim and Jack really pulled out all the stops on January 7th 2025. We came back from holiday with young kids to a cold dark house. I called Tim The next day (hadn’t used them before) at 7.45a.m and he was on the ball and Jack attended at 9a.m and had the power back on by lunch time. Really saved the day. Could not recommend them highly enough. Will definitely be using them again. Proper people when you need proper people! Robin Riches, Four Acre Nursery, Titchfield.
Excellent service fast response and very informative highly recommended to all!
Great service and were available when I needed an electrician
Tim Darby, what a fantastic human being! Had a problem with home electrics tripping out and could not resolve. A photo of the consumer unit sent to Tim, a call back from him and sorted following his simple and clear instructions. My uncle, who is 90 was overwhelmed by this and will look to Tim for any future electrical needs. PROPER SERVICE!!! CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH. Thanks so much for caring Tim.
After not getting any responses from other local trades people, Tim and the team got straight back to me and came to take a look at the problems we had. He recommended a sensible course of action and booked us in at a time to suit us. Will, the electrician, was courteous, tidy and kept us informed every step of the way, and even took his shoes off every time he went upstairs (including when he went in the attic!). Would thoroughly recommend Tim and the team to anyone who needs work done, a great service!
I luckily came across Tim’s page a couple of weeks ago after dealing with another electric company that turned out to be a total rip off. Tim managed to fit me in as we were selling a house and needed an EICR done, he also arranged for the work to be completed the same day. I was so impressed with the service, and professionalism we received. I would recommend and use again! Thank you so much!
Totally happy with this company - came out on the same day as I called them - a really good and capable technician, and completed the job in one visit - super impressed and competitive pricing too. These are my go to electricians for all future works. 10/10 and thanks again!
Excellent service. Jack did an great job of replacing my light and sockets along with installing ceiling lights. Very happy customer and I would highly recommend and use again.
Very pleased with the electrical work carried out. Efficient, friendly and would definitely recommend.
We live on a private road and after struggling to get quotes/sensible quotes for a faulty street light, I luckily found T Darby. Tim was very quick to respond to queries and completed the work the very next day. We are very relieved to have found a reliable, professional company we can use for any future lighting requirements on the close.
Great service and communication! Booked an emergency appliance elrctrical repair very quickly and showed up first thing in the morning. Fair pricing too. Altogether very happy, will use again and would highly recommend it
Had power failure so contacted Tim who willingly led me through what to do by phone. Unsocial hours but gave up his time. Had fault traced and replaced some halogen with LEDs. A good, very pleasant team.
Prompt and professional.
Looking for a new electric boiler for our flat, I tried a few bigger companies and they couldn't help. T Darby Electrical were the only one who gave an immediate and exact quote, communicated promptly and did a perfect job, with our new boiler running from the minute they said it would. I strongly recommend these excellent professionals! Well done, Tim Darby and his team!
Excellent service and very reliable. Quick to respond and carry out works required
I have used T Darby for the past 4 and half years at my office job and I would highly recommend them. Tim and his team are always on time and communicate any issues or alternative ways to solve problems. They are a great team to work with.
We have all our work done by these guys here at Dibles Park, cant praise them enough! Fast response and A1 work at the prices you would expect!
Rewiring for a kitchen upgrade, extending outside power to sheds, investigating defective LED tape lights and sorting, replacing failed downlighters, replacing defective extractor fan in bathroom, all part of the service provided for us by Tim and his boys over the last 8 years. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Tim.
We use Tim & the team as contractors for our property in Gosport. Great team and very efficient! Would definitely recommend.
Two men spent 5hrs trying to fix our electrical gates. We were then charged a 5hr diagnostic invoice aswell as given a huge quote for a new part. I spoke to Tim directly as I was not happy with what happened that day. I decided to go elsewhere and I got the gates fixed for a fraction of the price & the expensive part that they said needed to be replaced worked fine!!
