Many reviewers describe K F Watson Electrical as friendly and professional, with several reporting that electricians arrived on time, were polite and left the property tidy. A number say the firm responded quickly from the first enquiry through to finishing the work. Some reviewers were pleased with the standard of work, including a consumer unit replacement, an outdoor power socket, an EV charger and smoke alarms. Others report being talked through a fault over the phone without a call-out charge. One reviewer said the firm refused to agree a specific time for an EICR, fitted a CO detector next to an existing unit, and switched off sockets including the fridge-freezer; another said a pre-paid EICR failed without prior notice, another called the service rude and unprofessional, and another said an appointment to price a job was missed with no communication.
I called to book an appointment for an issue I was having with my main electrical box/fuse. Kate was kind enough to diagnose and fix the issue over the telephone without charging me, other companies will knowingly send out an electrician in order to bill or invoice me. K F Watson Electrical has demonstrated highest level of honesty and integrity; If I ever have any electrical issue, I will be using them. I strongly recommend them.
These guys installed an outdoor power socket for my hot tub and they did an excellent job, even taking off their shoes when coming into the house! They also showed/explained everything to me at the end. It was all very quick from the initial quote to getting the job done. Great communication and excellent company to deal with.
From enquiring about a quote, to having the survey done for the work to scheduling the day the work would happen, all was done very quickly and smoothly. Both the electricians arrived on time and were polite and professional. The work was carried out as per the initial survey and the work was carried out to a high standard with all tasks completed as discussed during the survey. Very happy with the experience overall and would recommend KF Watson to anyone needing any electrical work done within the Aberdeen Area.
We had an electrical short in our house this evening, during a spell of very cold weather and heavy snow. Many circuits affected, including the central heating. I phoned KF Watson Electrical as they had done electrical work for us when we moved in a few years ago. A very helpful lady very clearly talked me through the process of figuring out which circuit/ appliance had caused the problem, so that we could get the power back on. We were very grateful for the outstanding service she provided.
I called KF Watson to replace a light fitting in my bathroom. The person on the phone was very friendly and was able to organise an electrician to come round on the same day. The electrician was at my door within the hour and had the light fitting replaced and ready to go in minutes. I'll definitely be using them again and recommending them to anyone who needs a sparky.
Excellent Service from a Trusted Team Thank you to the team for the professional service provided. Over the past six months I’ve had countless contractors in the house, and none have matched the professionalism of your team. From the initial meeting and clear quotation, to the helpful advice on equipment, the detailed pre-job guidance, the quality of the works on the day, and the efficient follow-up communication, I’ve been extremely impressed throughout. We’ve had Keith, John and the wider team in the house carrying out some excellent upgrades as part of our renovations, and I would highly recommend K F Watson Electrical to anyone looking for a trusted and professional electrical contractor.
Great service all round. Emailed back quickly, ordered extractor fans quickly. Keith came and installed them. He was professional and friendly and was really tidy. Will highly recommend them and will be using them in future!
EICR Testing and associated work was carried out. Overall excellent service and work carried out very professionally from start to finish. Would recommend to use KF Watson Electrical for their services.
I got in touch with KF Watson Electrical and they were really quick to send someone out to check the work I needed done. The electrician arrived right on time, was polite, friendly, and super helpful. Job was done quickly and to a high standard. Fantastic service – so nice to find a reliable business that’s happy to take on smaller jobs too. Definitely recommend!
Instructed K F Watson Electrical to replace the smoke alarms in our building stairwell - good price and quick and efficient service. Thank you.
Had my switch replaced for a Mira Sport shower—great, quick, and professional job. Easy payment options too. Would definitely recommend!
Keith and Frances provide a professional service at a reasonable price. I've always had a good experience while using their services at a flat I rent out.
My sincere thanks to KF Watson for setting up the wiring and installing a new oven and hob. This job helped-out my neighbour who isn't in good health, he was delighted to have his kitchen back working again! As with past jobs they didn't let me down. A great family run team skilful, professional, caring. Highly recommended. Speciall thanks to Frances and Keith for being able to fit this particular job in.
Emailed asking for a quote to fix an issue with an alarm. Kevin responded promptly and they didn’t need to come out which likely saved me a sum of money.
Flexible and reasonably priced. A consumate professional and has earned my repeat business.
I had a few small jobs to get done which included taking down some track lighting and replacing with a regular light, installing a regular light in it’s place and installing a new electric oven removing and disposing of the old one. From the initial contact with Frances everything went smoothly with Keith coming to quote for the job, getting a formal quote from the office, arranging coming to do the job and doing the actual job. The guys arrived were very nice and professional. Did the job to a high standard and cleaned up after themselves. All in all a fantastic experience. Would recommend. I’m getting them to hang my tv’s next. Very reasonable pricing too
We’ve used KF Watson for work previously and had such a good experience we didn’t hesitate to contact them when we had an issue with our fuse box. Frances (and Keith) helped me diagnose and fix the issue over the phone. Their help was much appreciated!
Had a requirement for some electrical work in the house and garage and after unsuccessful contact with three other electricians we got told about KF Watson from a friend. From initial contact to completion of the work, which was a little over 2 weeks, everything was carried out in a professional manner. Installation was carried out to a high standard and work site left clean and tidy. Would have no hesitation in recommending KF Watson to friends and family.
Fantastic service. My son moved in to a flat and I live over 500 miles away so couldn't get there myself to look at an electrical problem. I went by Google reviews to find an electrician as there was a problem with some heating and sockets. Great communication, got a quick appointment and Keith arrived at the specified time. We were expecting some electrical problems but it turned out to be something very simple. We could have been charged for any work as my son does not know about electrics but Keith was totally honest that it was simple case of a timer and missed switch. He then told me son there was nothing to pay. As a parent living miles away it is so reassuring to know there is an honest electrician that we can call upon if we need anything. A true professional.
The men arrived on the dot, worked without a break . Both were polite , friendly and efficient. With the help of “ Hendry” hoover the carpets were left cleaner than on arrival . I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an electrical firm .
Excellent and prompt communications via email, attending the property very quickly after I had confirmed to go ahead. Electrician friendly, polite and very helpful. Highly recommended.
Contacted K F Watson by email on the Tuesday afternoon for a socket install. Came to review the job and supply a quote on the Wednesday morning and the job was done Wednesday afternoon. Never received such efficient service. Very pleased with the job also exactly what I asked for. Would definitely recommend.
Toaster blew the power sockets. They talked me through a very easy fix! Amazing!
Electrical work - both indoors and outside, carried out by two professional and extremely diligent electricians. Would highly recommend this company.
Managed to get K F Watson electrical round very quickly to provide a quote, arrived on time and was very efficient. Work was scheduled in very quickly and job was done to a high standard. Very happy with the price and quick turn around, will use again.
Excellent company. Replied to my initial query the same day and arranged a visit to carry out the work on the next working day, even though it was a bank holiday. Messaged to warn of arrival, carried out work perfectly and quickly. Very professional electrician. Cost of work was exactly what was discussed and VERY competitive. Will most definitely be using this company in the future.
Great service with fast response
Very pleased with the service we received recently, would definitely recommend and use again, thank you.
Excellent service from advice to fitting done quickly and expertly. Would thoroughly recommend. My 30 year old cooker hood was not an easy job to replace and it was done with great care and all debris cleared away. Five star service.
Excellent service from booking an appointment all the way to payment. Value for money and recommend K F Watson Electrical.
We’ve recently had our kitchen lights upgraded to LED and had three lights added above our new kitchen island. The cost, speed and accuracy of the work carried out was second to none. I would thoroughly recommend K F Watson Electrical.
They refused to agree to a specific time to attend my property to conduct an EICR meaning I could neither make it available for a short term stay or be present during their visit. I suspect this was intentional so that they could not be monitored while working. When they attended they fitted a CO detector next to an existing unit. When the bill arrived and was questioned they claimed they did not see the existing unit, but offered to temove the charge from the bill. Also during the visit all socket outlets were switched off including the internet router meaning I could not control the central heating, as well as the fridge/freezer causing it to defrost and leak water. Their service is "second to none" according the the lady that answers when you call their numbet, but I'm still waiting for an apology for these problems. All I received so far was a refusal from them to remove the unwanted CO detector in an angry phone call from Keith. Not recommended.
I had an EV charger installed, not a simple job, the cable had to run from the front of the house, under the floor, out through a granite wall and down about 30m of garden. I was very happy with the way the work was carried out. It was much less disruption than I'd anticipated and the team was really helpful and informative. Excellent quality of work.
The electrician arrived sharp, straight to work, very professional, did a very tidy job (new consumer unit, ev charge point) I can only reccomend them.
K F Watson replaced my out dated fuse box for a consumer unit and electrical inspection. They were quick to respond to my enquiry with a fair price, kept up good communication and I did not have to wait long for my booking. The electrician and apprentice were friendly, informed me of how they would conduct the works and got it done in a timely manner without making any mess/tidying up after themselves. Overall good service provided and I would recommend.
Thanks so much to Frances who helped me today (over the phone) when I had an electrical issue. I asked for a callout but she told me how to resolve the issue over the phone and saved me getting someone out. It took a while and I really appreciate your time. So kind. I’ll definitely recommend your services and when I need an electrician in future, will be in touch. Thanks again,
We recently had several sockets moved and some new ones put in, along with a few other small jobs. I have been very impressed with this company. They were able to send someone out to survey and do a quote the next day after we contacted them, and then the work was done the week following. The guys who came out were very polite and courteous, did a very tidy job and left no mess. Would not hesitate to use them again, or recommend to others. Great service.
A huge thank you to K F Watson Electrical group for exceptional service provided. Your team were professional, friendly and extremely thorough with completing the electrical inspection and replacing the outdoor light with no problem. We highly recommend K F Watson Electrical for any and all of your electrical inspections or electrical installation needs.
Small business but very efficient and professional at all stages. Had only a small job but they attended site within a day of enquiry had quote together within hours. Excellent value, friendly competent guys on site to do the job.
Excellent fast service. Highly recommended.
I contacted K.F. Watson to review and upgrade my Fire & Heat Alarms. Keith surveyed the property advising me of the appropriate alarms required and their location. He also made me aware that some of the existing alarms were not up to regulation standard. I also required an additional mains socket to be installed. The installation/replacement of the 11 alarms and socket were completed within an hour and a half, the house was left tidy and clean The overall service Keith & Mark gave was exceptional. Job from start to finish was completed within a week.
Great professional job carried out tidely and efficiently by Andrew. Will not hesitate to recommend ths company to others in the future.
Very good service by the team from start to Finnish
Came and replaced a faulty kitchen wall fan. Staff member was here on time and didn't take very long to get the job done. New fan working great. Whole process was very quick and easy from initial quote to work done and payment. Thanks again!
Got Watson’s to fix a number of sockets for me, they were really responsive and the job was sorted quickly. Would definitely recommend/use them again.
Replaced my old storage heaters with brand new storage heaters. Friendly and professional guys, great after care service. Will recommend to family and friends.
I received a truly excellent service from K F Watson Electrical, from start to finish! Having had some poor experiences in trying to find tradespeople in Aberdeen, I was so happy that this company replied to me and came out when they said they would. Very helpful, excellent communication and I am happy with the job done. Will certainly be using again in the future, when needed. Highly recommend. Thanks a million!
I used this company to rewire my house, which is very large and old. They did a fantastic job, and were extremely helpful and friendly. At the other end of the scale, I recently needed a minor piece of wiring carried out. I called them around lunchtime and they sent someone the following morning to carry out a 10 minute job. Again, couldn't be more helpful and efficient. I thoroughly recommend them for any electrical work
Horrible, rude and unprofessional. Will not be using in the future.
Keith and his team were very efficient and the job was dealt with swiftly and with no issues. I would highly recommend them without hesitation and will be using them in future! Liam M
I emailed the office to request a quote to install a wire/fused switch for a new shower, and to replace my fusebox. They responded promptly and sent round a surveyor the next day, who concisely explained exactly what work needed done. A quote was written for us on the same day, and they even recommended some plumbers that they had worked with to fit the shower itself. On the scheduled day, the workers showed up bang on time and completed their work in about 4 hours. They tidied up after themselves, tested all electrical outlets, and patched up the unavoidable decor damage to the best of their abilities. All documentation was emailed to us on the day. Would definitely use their services again
An exceedingly prompt service was provided. The electrician who came was thorough in deciding an optimum approach to the work, which was executed neatly and cleanly.
Keith provided good customer service and advice , from our initial enquiry, quotation submission and execution of works. Delighted with the new radiators, hot water controller, and Inspection report. All completed very swift and efficiently.
Arrived as promised, clear communication and tidy work. Thanks !
Very good, timely service. Good quality of work completed. Would thoroughly recommend.
As a landlord, I have used K F Watson Electrical for a number of years for a variety of repairs and inspections relating to 2 rental properties in Aberdeen. I have always found them to give excellent, professional service in good time and their communication and customer service are excellent.
K F Watson Electrical carried out a full electrical inspection and subsequent replacement, repair, and installation of lights, sockets, and panels for me. They responded to my initial query quickly and provided a quote with a full breakdown of costs. The team were very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the required work and possible solutions, and ensured they understood what I wanted. When carrying out the work, the team were fast and professional, and tidied up after work was completed. I will definitely be using K F Watson Electrical for any future electrical work, and I would recommend them for anyone looking to get work done.
This is the second time Ive used K F Watson for electrical work. They fitted a change over switch linked to a 16a socket so that I can power home essentials with a generator during power cuts. The whole process from quote to job done was quick, professional and friendly. The work on the day was excellent and the lads left the place spotless when done. They will continue to be my go to electricians for all my electrical work. Highly recommend them.
Excellent company. Responded quickly and were very friendly. Quick on visiting to provide estimate and super fast installing new heater. Highly recommended.
Poor communication. Made me pay in advance before telling me property had failed the EICR. No other electrician I have ever used for EICR's (many) have ever operated this way.
After being let down by other electricians, I contacted KF Watson who responded quickly and promptly. They carried out the work professionally. They would be my first call in future. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.
Excellent service from this business. They were quick to get someone out to quote for the work, with useful recommendations for solutions. Work was carried out swiftly and was great value for money. Very happy with the work carried out and highly recommend.
Have used on a couple of occasions now. Always prompt service and work carried out quickly and neatly for reasonable price.
Great service. Very professional
Speedy ,friendly and helpful response to an issue with fuse box tripping. Talked me through how to fix it.
I had an appointment just for the Electrician to view the issues I was having, and both were solved within 30 seconds. One issue was my own fault for not checking something first and the other I was told by the smart meter installer that my gas meter was missing an earth connection which the K F Watson person identified within seconds. The person was very knowledgeable and very kind. They didn’t charge me for the visit which was very nice of them. I will be using them in the future for any of my electrician needs and recommend them to anyone else needing one.
K F Watson Electrical installed a new consumer unit in my flat to comply with regulations and did other associated work. Quoted promptly, discussed the price, did the work the day after saying go-ahead. Sent photos and videos of work in progress and of the completed work. Provided full certification. Final bill less than quote. Excellent professional job. I'd recommend them to anyone needing electrical work around Aberdeen. GM
I reached out the company for two sockets to be recessed. They came back quickly for a quote. They were able to slot the work in quickly. The electrician arrived on time and completed the work as expected. Great service and would highly recommend.
Called after hours as I could not get a circuit breaker to reset. Was looking to get an electrician on call since fridge freezer was on same circuit. The owner discussed the problem with me and suggested a solution, which worked. No need for call out and no charge. For sure K.F. Watson will get my business in future!
K F Watson Electrical is an extremely slick and efficient outfit. In my experience, it's always been hard finding good, reliable tradesmen in Aberdeen. Many don't even respond to an enquiry. This is certainly not the case with K F Watson. We had a few odd jobs for them including replacing a cooker hood, installing new kitchen down lights, fitting a new mains connected smoke alarm as well as two new bathroom lights. The entire process was quick and faultless, from initial contact and quotation to installation earlier today, it took less than a week which included ordering our new bathroom lights. I am genuinely impressed and would not hesitate to recommend K F Watson Electrical to others.
K F Watson were excellent to deal with and extremely professional and responsive from start to finish. Their communication was immediate and special mention to John for the quality and tidy installation and to Frances and Keith for navigating us through the Grant application process. 10 out of 10.
From the minute I called, to the job being completed, everything went very smoothly. Frances understood what I needed and Andy and Connor turned up bang on time and after a short introduction to where everything was I left them to it. They did a cracking job and even took photos of the plugs behind the oven so I could understand what had been done. They also filled the hole from where the previous smoke detector had been. They rectified an issue with a light fitting which had been there for years, it goes to show how valuable an electrician is, these little problems can go unnoticed for years and cause fires or electric shocks. They are quick, efficient and thorough. I would highly recommend them, this is a company which you can trust and they employ excellent tradesmen.
Great service, reasonable price, would absolutely use them again.
Had an issue with the fuse box and called K F Watson Electrical. Very friendly and professional. I highly recommend. Thank you so much Frances for all your help!
Excellent, prompt service from start to finish. Quick response to initial enquiry, time to do the work arranged in advance and guys turned up exactly on time and were quick, tidy and efficient.
Excellent service! Very professional and nice guys. Would use it again
Required a number of works done to my property, all of which were quoted for and carried out very quickly. Very good communication and the workmen were very quick and extremely tidy. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.
I’m delighted with the work they’ve just done for me and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Professional from first contact through to completion of work and the guys on site were pleasant, neat and thorough. I’d definitely use them again.
The job executed by K F Watson was very neat, without delays and perhaps taking the best option to avoid major visual disruption at home. We needed to install a cable from the main board, located inside the house to our patio area. When the electricians John and Louis arrived, John quickly suggested using a route that four other electricians from different companies said was not possible to do. John quickly “adjusted the plans” to accommodate the new plan and managed to firstly tick our preferred option and secondly minimise the visual impact the cable was going to have in the house. We are very happy and satisfied with the job done and we’ll be delighted to recommend K F Watson.
Actual heroes! I had an alarm going off in the house that I'd never heard before. Naturally I was panicking, and having had great service from them before I gave them a ring. They were friendly and knowledgeable on the phone, got here quickly and solved it in minutes. Great service means loyal customers :)
Top notch all round! Rescheduled their morning plans at 8.30 the previous night to ensure they could fix our problem first thing before we had people in viewing our house - so kind. Excellent service when the guys were here - super polite and explained all the technical stuff so we could understand. Great value too and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Very fast service; good price; very friendly; able to communicate by email. Really impressive service.
Had a small electrical issue in a tenants flat. A quick call and appropriate direction resulted in an effective repair. Would recommend. Thanks
Good, thorough work done promptly, would recommend to anyone.
Very quick response, job carried out cleanly within 3 days. first class local company
Excellent friendly service from start to finish. Fast response with job completed the following day from quoting my job. They were happy to contact third party to ensure the installation I'd requested matched the product I needed installed. (Very professional and reassuring) I have no hesitation in recommending this firm.
First call for all my electrical requirements.
I would certainly recommend KF Watson after the work they have carried out for us at Denmore Park Sports and Social club ... They kept me informed of all jobs completed by video ,they arrived on time so I was not hanging around,tidying up as they finished each job and do not charge silly prices ...very very good price for jobs done .... I would not use anyone else so pleased we found this company... Thank you Keith and team ...and not for getting Frances for the calls to let me know they were on there way 🙂
I would have no hesitation in recommending KF Watson Electrical. Having used them for both the home and at the office for a number of years I can say that they are always on time, polite and carry out their work to a very high standard. Highly recommended.
Excellent service - efficient and friendly with work carried out promptly and at the time agreed. Great to have professionals who care about their work and leave the property as they found it. Would recommend. Much appreciated and thank you all!
Highly recommend this company. Excellent service, quick and efficient with very friendly and tidy workmen. Would definitely use again and recommend to friends.
Excellent service from start to finish. Efficient, prompt and polite. We would definitely use K F Watson again for any electrical work we require.
The only company I would go to for any electrical work. We have had various inside and outside electrical works over the past few years from the KF Watson team. Nothing but praise. Very happy with every job done. Thanks to you all.
Had a new double wall socket fitted and a new LED garden light, great service, fast and reasonably priced, would recommend 👍
I can highly recommend this company. They responded to my request in a timely and professional manner. The task was completed without any complications, and at a price that was very surprising. It's people like these that make it worthwhile using a small family business.
Excellent experience from start to finish. Very professional approach to all they do and extremely efficient and tidy workmen who take a pride in getting it right first time. Highly recommended.
Made appointment with them to come around and price a job and never showed. No communication about why.
Very responsive. Highly recommend.
Professional and really nice guy. Great job done extremely fast and with no hassle.
Great service
Second time I've used K.F. Watson; the first for a fuse box replacement, this time for a bathroom light. The service is good, work done quickly, tidily and professionally, and the back office team are quick, friendly and helpful too.
Absolutely delighted with the service I have received from K F Watson Electrical. Work has been carried out to the highest standard by efficient and tidy tradesmen. That along with the fab customer service and low rates they provide great value for money. I'd be happy to recommend them to anyone!
Excellent service from initial consultation to completed job - efficient, tidy and service with a smile from all concerned !
Great service from initial contact to work being completed. Work completed to a high standard and electricians are always neat and tidy. Went the extra mile to help with another problem. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic overall service. I contacted them on Tuesday to fit 8 x smoke detectors for my HMO application. They were able to schedule me in the same week on the Friday. They were there promptly when they said they would and installed the smoke alarms to a very high level. Would recommend and will be using again in future.
Recommended. Diagnosed problem over the phone getting us up and running in minutes. A+
5 star service, quick turnaround and friendly people - highly recommended!
Exellent service from start to finish. Very good comms. Would defently recommend
