I was passed Matt’s number through recommendation. I rang him as I have concerns re my plugs having a higher reading and I have a ceiling fan that needs fitting. Matt came to have a look the same day, he was friendly, professional and gave me confidence in the advice he gave. His knowledge and experience is outstanding. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Highly recommend, completed work in efficient, timely manner, great job.
called Matt when I ran into a problem changing a light fitting, the wires were too short the whole lighting downstairs was out. Matt came the next day in the time window he said and fitted a new light fitting getting the rest of the lighting working in the process. His price was fair and reasonable I would recommend Matt and will use him again if I need an electrician.
Came quickly and on good time. Repaired a kitchen socket efficiently at very reasonable price. Would definitely use again
Matt and Pete did all the electrics for my house renovation and I couldn’t be happier with the result. They really thought about every detail and nothing was ever too much trouble. They also shared some brilliant ideas and suggestions that I hadn’t even considered, which made a huge difference to the finished outcome. The quality of their work is excellent and everything has been completed to a very high standard. I’m so grateful and thankful for the amazing job they’ve done. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Matt is a very reliable, competent worker who left my house tidy and completed the work neatly and to a high standard. I requested the visited on WhatsApp and got a quick response. Matt arrived at the expected time.
Matt came out quickly to sort an electrical problem. Excellent service and helpful advice to resolve future issues. Would highly recommend.
We highly recommend Matt who recently worked on our outside lights as well as upgrading a consumer unit. He uses quality materials, is professional and personable. Matt is competent, neat and tidy. We are very satisfied with his work and will definitely use him again. He is undoubtedly one of the best electricians we have employed.
We've used Matt for a few different jobs over the years now, from servicing appliances to installing new lights and a variety of other odds and ends. He always works quickly, efficiently and offers great advice and support. Excellent work to a high standard and really friendly bloke, too. Thoroughly recommend.
This is the second full house rewire that Matt has done for me. Obviously the first one was exceptional hence I used him again and he didn't disappoint. He works quickly and efficiently and leaves the property in a very good condition. As a landlord I have had a lot of experience with tradesmen over the years and I would definitely use Matt for all my electrical work going forwards.
Very happy with Matt’s work and couldn’t recommend enough to anybody. Responsive to book in with professional and friendly service.
We used Matt to upgrade a consumer unit, require all sockets and appliances as well as to install new downlights and also LED lighting in our kitchen renovation. His quality was amazing and he offered great advice on the best place to have the lighting as well as suggestions for switches and sockets etc. He clearly thinks about projects as if they’re at his own home and works to the highest standards. Thoroughly recommend and will use him for all future work also!
This is the second time I have used Matt’s services. He came out really quickly to look at a broken bathroom light and was honest about the fact that it was a simple fault, caused by a switch wire that had not been connected properly. He fixed the problem and did not charge. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone, especially female or elderly customers who can sometimes (in my experience) feel unsure. Thank you Matt!
If you are going to use the wrong lane and cut me up in traffic, at least use your indicators. Remember that the company name is on the van. Not even a courtesy flash to say sorry. Completely ignorant and dangerous.
Job bigger than expected Matt worked late into the evening to make sure we had power. Very tidy and very efficient. Would highly recommend
Matt was responsive and helpful with good advice. We're really pleased with the lighting Matt installed in our kitchen. Great job.
Matt has been our go to electrician for around 12 years now, for a few different houses, and we wouldn’t use anybody else. He always shows up and on time too, his communication is second to none, he’s very reasonably priced and he gets the job done to a very high standard. He works quickly but professionally, he’s very tidy and respectful and I would highly recommend him for all electrical needs.
Its the first time I have used Matt but it wont be the last that's for sure, very professional, friendly and good rates, plus he takes care to deliver quality work and goes that extra yard to ensure your happy with the end result.
Matt has helped both myself and my dad with electrical work over the past year and has always been so helpful! Nothing has been too much trouble. Great service and a great guy. I wouldn’t use anyone else 👌
Have used Matt at all properties we have owned over the years and will not use anyone else. He is professional, friendly and the quality of his work is outstanding! 100% recommend.
Excellent service.Rang him and answered the phone.Matt is a very nice guy and sorted out my sister in laws problem.Will recommend matt.thanks
Matt provided us with a professional & friendly service and was very tidy & efficient.
excellent work done quickly with a minimum of fuss - highly recommend
Matt is very professional in his work and also when advising on any electrical issues. He has carried out various work for us in the past and I would highly recommend this gentleman. Rates are very reasonable and he always calls back when you leave messages promptly. David
Professional, friendly and prompt service.
Came to look at a light problem at short notice, friendly, professional and sorted the problem. Highly recommend!
Well pleased with my new light fittings, reasonable price. Would have Matt again& definitely recommend him
Great fast service reasonable price too
We've had Matt to our home a few times now for works varying from making sockets safe, additional sockets, and new fuse board. All of which is done without fuss, drama, or mess! Very engaging and friendly, and very clear and concise with his quotes and lead-times. Couldn't recommend highly enough!
Not sure of the electricians name who carried out the work on my property at 58 second avenue but I’d just like to say that he has done a remarkable job and made the house safe for my family to live in, he has even gone above and beyond and amended the awful fitting of the rear entry gate, not just a sparky but also a good chippy. Hats off massive thanks
Matt is a highly professional electrician. Friendly and courteous , he is a pleasure to have working in our house. He has visited us on multiple occasions over the last ten years and is always punctual, charges reasonable rates and responds quickly to communications. We thoroughly recommend him.
After smelling electrical burning in our house and switching off the electrics, we contacted Matt, and he made arrangements to visit extremely promptly. Matt quickly identified the issue, which was not visible with the cause residing in the ceiling. Matt provided a fix immediately and got our electrics back on. We are thankful for Matt's responsiveness, professionalism and he was a really nice person too, which always makes a big difference! We would certainly use Matt again for any future electrical work. Thanks Matt
Matt was such a lovely person. Very good in communication throughout the process and punctual. He carried out an EICR testing for our property and got the honest report on a same day. In the future, Definitely Matt will be our go to person for any electrical works.
Matt has just fitted our induction hob, oven and extractor in November. Friendly and reliable service …would definitely use him again . Overall A+
I recently had the good fortune of asking Matt to quote on a complete rewire for me, on what was formally an old commercial building in Newport, that I was converting to my new home. Considering the terrible state of the building and the scale of the rebuild, Matt turned up and provided me, with what turned out to be a VERY competitive and professionally presented quote (which I readily accepted) and …following the initial 'first fix'...he proceeded to make himself available to me telephonically as the rest of the project developed painstakingly over the course of the following year. When the building inspector informed me near the end of the rebuild that I had inadvertently left off the all important smoke and heat detectors from my rather extensive wish list of all things 'bright & shiny', it turned out that the ever conscientious Mr Gardner had already taken it upon himself to spec them all, hard wired and interlinked...a measure of his level headed and pragmatic approach to (it appears) everything he does in life. Matt has not only been 'on call' for advice ..and 'on site' whenever he said he would be, but as a consummate professional he leaves nothing to chance, adding value at every turn, and its a pleasure to simply add my review alongside the many other satisfied similar clients already posted here. David.
Lovely man, and tidy worker. We needed an electric certificate for house sale. He corrected the faults in the wiring and explained the process throughout. Reasonable rates. We have put him in our keep pile of people to fix things.
I contacted Matt after moving into a new property that required a new fuseboard, numerous additional sockets and also needed corrective work to several elements of defective and dangerous wiring previously done by a DIY installer. Matt turned up when he said he would and provided a detailed quote for the work I requested. He went on to complete all the work to a high standard. Some of the faults did not appear straightforward and this is where hiring someone with Matt's many years of experience seemed to really pay off as he quickly identified and solved issues. Matt was extremely polite and professional in his conduct and unlike some trades people I've encountered Matt had a real 'can do' attitude. I would not hesitate to recommend him or use him again in the future.
We've used Matts services a couple of times, once for a renovation and once for some wiring updates. On both occasions we had a quote and he spent time explaining what would be done. Once doing the work Matt was meticulous and kept the area very tidy. All work was done professionally and I couldn't recommend them enough. Best Electrician in Stafford ☆☆☆☆☆
Matt responded very quickly and promptly to our request to see why we had no hot water. Matt found the problem, came up with a solution and work was completed same day. Would highly recommend Matt 👍
Wedgwood Restaurant
Matt fitted new outside lights, plugs and new downlights. Work was tidy and response to questions was fast. Thanks Matt
Returned from a few days away to the upstairs lights constantly tripping a fuse. Self diagnosed the bathroom extractor fan as the culprit due to the audible fizzing. One of Matt's guys arrived the next day as agreed and replaced it and the pull cord to a very tidy standard. No complaints at all. 10/10 Service.
Update: Helped us out when we were in need. Without going into too much detail, we had some issues with another electrician (Matt was booked up at the time), and he'd left us in a pickle. I phoned Matt and he guided us through what we needed to do, and offered us really high quality advice on the job that had been done by someone else. Really impressed and hopefully can use Matt directly next time. Had a new fuse spur fitted for an electric cooker (replacing a gas one). Matt was over £100 cheaper than the previous quote and couldn't fault his professionalism. We were out so we left our keys with him; we returned home to find the house spotless and a new cooker in fine condition! Refreshing change from tradesmen who like to leave a mess! Highly Recommended 👍
Matt came to my house with very short notice to fix my electrics. He arrived on time and fixed the issue very quickly. He was also good at explaining the problem to me. Would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Matt.
Matt recently installed spot lights my bathroom, new extractor fan, shaver point and external light switch and repaired a couple of mains sockets in other parts of the house, nothing was too much trouble, Matt clearly knows he stuff! He was polite and courteous, worked non stop from the minute he arrived to when he left and cleared up any mess. I would strongly recommend Matt for any electrical works you have, and he won’t leave you waiting for months either! I wouldn’t use anyone else! Thanks Matt, another great job done!
We initially contacted Matt for an electrical socket repair, Matt answered promptly, gave us a fair priced quote and we booked an appointment the following week. Matt came out and found that there was no fault and that we didn’t turn the power switch on (embarrassing I know). Matt was very kind and didn’t charge us. Would definitely use Matt again in the future, he is friendly, fair and responsive.
Great job my Matt. Honest and friendly chap. Great job and very tidy workmanship.
Excellent service from Matt once again. Very good electrician. ...hardworking and professional. Happy to recommend him to anyone.
Matt and his team did a full re wire on a property I had just brought, including spot light and fan installation in the bathroom. Matt couldn’t have been more accommodating. With an unsafe property, a toddler and house completion date changing last min Matt and his team really came to the rescue. Both him and Pete worked on the house and did an excellent job! Would defiantly recommend!
Matt was very professional from the minute I spoke to him the phone. Although he was busy, he made time to see what needed to be done, and booked us in on the day that suited us. He is very punctional, reliable and polite. He did a few jobs for us, all were done quickly and with minimal distraction or mess. Highly recommend...
Matt was recommended to us by a friend when we needed to replace our old fuse box in the garage. It wasn’t an easy job due to lots of wires and fuse boxes for heating and solar panels. Matt replaced the fuse box in a day and did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. We would highly recommend Matt as a good electrician and we will definitely use him again.
Did not bother to return call.
He replied promptly even though he was on holiday. Once he got back he completed the job, which turned out to be very minor and just charged us a reasonable call out charge. Will definitely use again.
Matt has done work for myself and other family members, his work is of a high standard , always clean tidy and efficient. I would definitely recommend 👍🏻
We have used Matt’s business for all manner of electrical work at our previous house, our new house and a property we rented out over the last 14 years. We have always been completely happy with his work, and he has never been phased by the unusual or complicated jobs we have asked him to do. Always completing them successfully & with a smile. Would fully recommend for any electrical work.
Never calls you back
Matt was friendly and professional, and carried out my light installation and socket repairs to a high standard. He was prompt to arrive and was responsive to texts and voicemails beforehand. Reasonable rates. Would highly recommend him.
Fixed our issue really quick, professional and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.
We have used Matt on many occassions in the past and cant rate him highly enough. We couldn't have asked for a better service and the price is as competitive as it gets for the high level customer service and workmanship. I try and take care of most common repairs around the house but when it comes to electrical work I would prefer to leave it to the pros. Highly recommend you give Matt a call if you want a job doing expertly.
We used Matt for one of our clients we were working with. A very reliable company. Turned up when he said he would and did a great job for a fair price with no mess or fuss. Couldn't really ask for anything more! Would definitely use again and recommend.
Would definitely recommend. Matt and his colleagues have helped us will numerous electrical jobs, covering all domestic electrical works, for a number of years now. Their service quality and attention to detail are second to none as has been their creativity when I’ve been looking to do something more bespoke. During a recent home improvement job, Matt’s advice was invaluable in helping me to work through some of the more technical considerations of the job. The end result was better than I could have hoped. A friendly, competitively priced, trustworthy and extremely credible business that alway deliver great results. I wouldn’t use anyone else.
Matt has provided an excellent quality of electrical work in my house for around 6 years now. He has carried out all aspects of work, from changing plug sockets to supplying and fitting new wiring to a new two storey extension. He’s always available for small jobs. He’s polite, quick and his attention to detail is second to none. Competitive rates and above all fantastic customer service.
Matt is a highly professional electrician who ensures the job is done to the highest standards. A good honest guy, who works tidily and at a good price. Matt completed all our garden electrics with out door sockets, fuse board and lighting including post lights and spot lights in our BBQ area. He also completed the electrics for our hot tub. On the day of delivery Matt was able to come to our rescue (again) as the hot tub installers were only allowed to do certain electrical jobs. We have also recently renovated our caravan and needed new wall lights fitting. Matt quickly managed to complete the job and was happy to fit in with our timings having the caravan at home. Thanks Matt, we can enjoy our holiday now! 😊 Would not go to anyone else for electrical work.
Matt carried out a number of jobs at my house, mainly outdoor work involving fitting new external lights, extending power sockets in the garden and shed and installing a power point in my greenhouse. He was professional and friendly at all times. Everything was done to my satisfaction and he made sure that all jobs were what I required, even coming back to change two of the outdoor lamps that would not function as I wanted. I cannot recommend him highly enough and he will be my first choice when I need any more electrical work done.
Matt installed a 3 phase forklift charger at our storage warehouse today. Although this was a commercial job, Matt’s attention to detail was fantastic in terms of general positioning and wiring in a way that was unobtrusive. His advice is second to none and his experience and knowledge is clear to see. He works so clean and tidy, you can just tell he’s a perfectionist in his work. I and ‘we’ as a business will be recommending his services to anybody in need of an expert.
Matt recently carried out all of the electrical work in my new kitchen. From his first visit to the property he was thorough in his approach, explaining exactly what he was going to do and how he would do it. After agreeing the price of the works, Matt ensured he would complete the work in line with my time frames which he successfully did. The work is completed to a high standard, he is meticulous and always left the property as he found it. All in all my partner and I are more than happy with Matt's work and would not hesitate to recommend his services to any of my family/friends. Thanks Matt!
It was a pleasure to have Matthew carry out work for us. He took the time to explain what he was going to do and the reason why. Would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for high standards of workmanship.
