Several reviewers complained about the driving of R Thomson (Electrical Contractors) Ltd T/A R Thomson Electrical vans. One reported a van driving carelessly close behind in dark, wet conditions with full beam lights on, and another reported a driver texting and drifting into their lane. One reviewer said their new-build fire alarms kept going off after four visits to fix them, and another said a rusty consumer unit was installed and not put right. One reviewer described problems with Rob's work, including fuses being moved, a quote for £450 over two days that they felt was unreasonable, and delays that disrupted other work. Positive notes included Rob quoting and installing an EV charger when he said he would, and Paul and his team wiring a house, with other reviewers calling Bernard knowledgeable and efficient and thanking Brad for changing a light bulb.
absolutely shocking , white van from this company didn’t manage to get the licence plate unfortunately, however carelessly driving. Backing up very close behind me and beeping for me to go faster in dark, wet conditions, they had there full beam lights on making nearly impossible for me to see the road ahead. I had 2 young children in the car and it could have ended badly. Wish i got the licence plate so i could report to the police! i suggest whoever is in charge to tell your staff to be more careful and not to bully other drivers on the road in a vehicle with the brand name splattered all over it. Disgusting
This company is a joke. I live in a new build and the fire alarms just do not stop going off! They’ve been out 4 times to fix it and the issue is still constant. Cowboy company.
Rob turned up to quote when he said he would and installed our EV Charger, an Excellent job carried out on time and a nice guy.
If their electrical skills are as good as their driving skills god help us
Installed a rusty consumer unit on my new home and refused to remedy it. Painting over rust is not a solution, the damage and fire safety issues are still present.
Unfortunately, my experience with Rob wasn’t great. I had my own electrician in today and just wanted to share some honest feedback. Rob’s second guy had previously messed around with the fuses in the hallway, which caused unnecessary confusion. It made it look like there were issues with the lighting when there weren’t — which led my electrician to second-guess his work and spend extra time trying to figure it out. It honestly felt like a bit of a comeback move and could’ve cost me more money. Thankfully, my electrician was understanding and didn’t charge extra, but the whole situation gave me a lot of anxiety. What’s more, before I even mentioned anything about lifting floorboards, my electrician went ahead and used the exact method my brother had originally recommended — and he managed to complete everything solo, unlike Rob’s setup which involved two people. I appreciate every tradesman has their own approach, but based on how this turned out, the method my brother suggested was clearly the right one for my property. I was torn between Rob’s advice and my brother’s, but this new electrician naturally went for the correct method without being prompted. Rob also quoted £450 and said it would take two days, but considering he didn’t have the correct ladders for even standard ceiling height, it would’ve involved multiple visits anyway — and that just didn’t feel reasonable. I previously apologised for the mix-up, but in hindsight, it wasn’t necessary. The way things were handled on Rob’s end led to delays and disrupted other work I had lined up, which I had to cover out of pocket. As a woman dealing with all of this alone, the whole situation left me feeling uneasy — and it really shouldn’t have happened that way. In contrast, the electrician I ended up hiring made me feel like I was in the best hands, and that’s something I truly value and won’t forget.
R Thompson van let me out of a junction this morning in Warrington with a smile on his face. Thank You
Paul was very helpful and very professional. He and his team did a perfect job at wiring our house and came out again to sort out any queries!
Bernard was knowledgeable and efficient.
Brad changed my light bulb it was wonderful !!
R Thomson white van with reg HV06 UKP driving erratically whilst the guy was texting on his phone on 07/12/2017. After he drifted into my lane and I sounded my horn he remained on his phone and ended up taking a call whilst still doing between 30 and 40 mph around Warrington. If the electrical work is as bad as the driving then avoid. Accident waiting to happen.
