Daniel Gardner Electrical Contractor Ltd is mostly praised for friendly, helpful electricians and office staff, tidy work and quick responses to callouts. Many reviewers report jobs carried out promptly and neatly, including fuse boards, lights, smoke alarms and solar batteries. One reviewer was very unhappy with a £132 emergency callout bill and said the charges were not made clear beforehand; another thought a quote for smoke and heat detectors was far higher than other local quotes. Several reviewers say they would use the company again or recommend it to others.
From the outset Rory was amazing, informative and honest. Chris, who carried out the work was exceptional. Worked efficiently and neatly but went above and beyond to help me get rid of my old appliance. I will definitely use this company again.
Outstanding company. Suffered a fault in the circuit breaker box, beyond my expertise so called Daniel Gardner. Initially offered technical advice but no success with that. Despatched Chris , one of his electricians inside 90 minutes. He pinpointed the fault very quickly, I was impressed! The fault was a long standing one stemming from a house rewire with another company. Chris replaced the faulty item, problem solved and sorted, I was de-stressed! Can but offer a very positive recommendation for this company.
Great service and quality guaranteed
From start to finish this company done exactly as they said keeping in contact all the way from office staff to tradesman .thanks to martin for doing a great job will defanatly be useing them for all my work i need done in my house. Great prices and a very high standerd of workmanship .martin also gave great advice for other jobs im needing done .
Very disappointed. We phoned for an emergency callout as there had been a leak into a light fixture in our kitchen and we were concerned about the old wiring in the house, particularly as we have a 6 month old baby in the house. While we were pleased with how prompt the service was, but we were surprised to receive such an expensive invoice for what turned out to be a very quick job with minimal work (£132 (including vat to change a light fixture). When I phoned to enquire about how it had come to so much, I was told that the callout charge was 95 (+vat), after which a separate charge was incurred for any extra hours that were taken on. While I understand that part of the onus is on me to check this, this price is not stated on their website, this was not disclosed in any of the phone calls I had with the contractor before the electrician was sent out and it was not noted anywhere in the invoice. Overall, I would not recommend this company to others unless you have money to burn.
Professional, knowledgeable, flexible and cheerful -they went the extra mile to sort out our electrical issue in our new home. Very pleased -highly recommend.
We recently had a supplemental solar battery installed. The communication was excellent, and the service was professional, efficient, and competitively priced. We are very satisfied and will definitely use this company again. We regret not choosing them initially.
Our electric car charger suddenly stopped working, mid charge, and we were stuck. Daniel Gardner was able to send an electrician out the day after I phoned who quickly was able to assess the problem: the charger was damaged beyond repair after water ingress. This was a design flaw. A replacement was ordered and fitted within a matter of days. Both electricians were friendly and knowledgeable, they cleared everything away when the work was done. I am sure there are cheaper electricians available but we felt we were getting work done which was speedy, competent and efficient. The bill was exactly the same as the quote, so there were no hidden add-ones as the work progressed.
Had an issue with our sockets. Electrician came same day and sorted issue within 30 mins. Reasonably priced.
We've had quite a lot of work done by Daniel and the team and they've always been responsive and tidy. We mentioned to them that we were looking at installing solar panels on the roof and they offered to quote for the work. They put us in touch with Jim Miller from MMS Ltd who visited the house and discussed the options. Jim put together a very good spec and the team from DG managed the install over two days. The job was well done with no fuss and we now have a system that is delivering 95% of our electrical needs straight off the roof. Overall it was a great experience with the team being interested in doing a good job and ensuring that we were satisfied with the specification and the install. I'm aware that the installation of solar panels is one of those hyped areas that can leave you a bit dizzy, but going with a tried and tested local trader gave us confidence and I would be very happy to recommend them to others.
Recommend this firm highly. Every effort was made to resolve the electrical issues in our home as quickly as possible and a full EICR report completed specifying what work needing to be done to bring the electricals up to standard. This work was done promptly and efficiently and the guys cleaned up afterwards and left the place tidy. Everyone was helpful from the office administrator to the manager and the electricians doing the work who explained the process and answered any questions.
They are an excellent company, great service, very helpful and friendly.
Excellent service 5 stars everytime.
Carried our work in a professional manner. Answering all questions and offered a good service.
Johnny done a amazing job with the installation of our new fuse board and oven. He was very professional and polite, a very good representative for Daniel Gardner. They fitted us in at very short notice, I would highly recommend and I would use this company again. many thanks
Very helpful and came very quickly. Efficient.
Used this company a few times for electrical work. Most recently installing a cooker. Highly recommend. Professional. Clean, tidy always on time and very reliable. Wouldn't use anyone else now
Very quick an friendly response to my enquiry. Engineers attended within 2 days. Cost was within expectations and repairs were undertaken quickly and without fuss.
Daniel Gardner installed our first infrared panel heater for us. We really liked and appreciated the promptness with which DG responded to our initial request, came out to assess and measure the requirements and then installed the panel. Installation was excellent, the job was done with care and consideration and the finish is perfect. Very satisfied!
Work Carried out from Daniel gardner electrical was outstanding from start to finish. From initial inspection of property, followed by quote for works to be carried out for charging point for my electric car.. And more than happy with everything, and very helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Really helpful in an emergency. Thank you
We used Daniel Gardner Electrical to check the Consumer Unit etc and the various fittings in our home which is around forty years old. From initial approach to carrying out the tests to receipt of a further quote for remedial work to carrying out the remedial work and retesting took about three weeks from start to finish. Excellent service throughout. We used them on recommendation from a friend and will certainly recommend them to others.
As a Community Hall we need to get have as little downtime as possible to allow groups to meet as usual. In November 2022 Daniel Gardner committed to install our upgrades starting on the 4th January 2023. And that was exactly when it started, and the work was completed in two days as was predicted. Very professional.
This company was recommended to me by a friend and they have carried out numerous jobs for me over the years. From the initial point of booking right through to the jobs themselves being carried out, things are done on a thorough and professional basis. They have never let me down and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
I contacted Daniel Gardner to help with my electrics in an old cottage as circuits were constantly tripping. They responded quickly and traced the problem along with identifying numerous other problems, including a lack of earth for the wiring. After installing a new consumer unit, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a new outside socket and completing a mammoth task on making the lighting wiring safe they have left me with an electrically safe house. They were so thorough and all the electricians were friendly and really helpful. I am so pleased I used them. Thanks
I got in touch with this company to ask for a quote to install smoke and heat detectors as per new Scottish law. I was quoted £610. I contacted three other companies in the area and their quotes for exactly the same job were between £300 and £340. Complete rip off, considering that everyone is struggling with the cost of living. The excuse I received from this company for quoting that much was that they are simply better than everyone else - of course they are... And after I asked to justify why they want so much money, they blocked me from their Messenger - very professional. Please shop around; there are plenty of decent traders in Fife.
I have used Daniel Gardner for a complete rewiring of our house and also several small jobs. They are always professional, the work is exceptional and the prices fair. I would highly recommend them.
5 star service from DGE - work undertaken at short notice and despite logistical issues at our end - Jane went above and beyond to meet our deadline - Thanks again!
Having been highly recommended by a friend I employed Daniel Gardner to carry out various jobs in my home. Those included installation of new led lighting system in the garage, fitting of legally required smoke, heat and monoxide alarms, and fitting new light fittings both outside and throughout the house. Those jobs were all carried out to a particularly high standard and with the minimum of disruption. I have already recommended this company to our neighbours and have no hesitation in doing so to anyone seeking to have electrical work carried out in their home. Bob MacPherson
I contacted Daniel Gardner for some advice before contracting them to carry out an electrical inspection. Kieran was very helpful and the inspection was carried out by Neil, who is very thorough. It makes a nice change to contact a company who actually reply to your queries and who do what they say they will do. Highly recommended.
Prompt efficient installation of our smoke alarm system. Would happily recommend to others.
New to Cupar and a friend recommended I go to Daniel Gardner to arrange pendants and lights to be fitted. Kieran was professional and extremely friendly when I called and reassured me that he would get someone to me asap. Less than 2 weeks later the job was done. Neil and Phil were great! Checking with me before installing each light and they were genuine, decent guys who just got on with the job. Will definately be using them again as there is lots of work still to be done.
Called company on a Saturday morning when power failed due to a fault on washing machine. Only company who gave telephone advice to get our power back. Called on Monday morning to install isolator switch. Work carried our very tidily by an extremely competent electrician who explained all work carried out. Very satisfied with cost and after sales service. No hesitation in recommending.
The office was excellent in fixing and then re-arranging the date of the electrician’s visit as I needed to move it. The electrician was polite and very efficient in looking at the problems we were having with our bathroom and kitchen extraction fans. He managed to source a replacement fan for our kitchen that day and came back at the end of the day after his other scheduled visits to fit it. The charge for the work was in line with what I’d have expected to pay for the work carried out.
I am a private landlord and have been impressed with the service of Daniel Gardner Electrical for a number of years . When there are worries from a tenant about an electrical problems I feel relieved to ring this company and be reassured and know they will look into it quickly and effectively .
I was very happy with the work carried out to find a fault in my kitchen. The electrician was thorough, very friendly and polite. I'd certainly recommend the company.
Daniel Gardner Electrical Contractor were brilliant from start to finish. We have spent 2 years renovating our home and dealt with a number of tradespeople in this time, and Daniel Gardner Electrical Contractor were one of the best. We needed our entire mains supply fire alarm system replacing as well as safety checks and some bits and pieces, and they were incredibly helpful, responsive, always arrived on time, were very thorough, clean and tidy, and offered great advice. Communication was always great and I could not recommend them more highly. I will always recommend them to anyone who needs electrical help now, they really were superb!
Friendly reliable service who arrived when promised and completed our installation efficiently.
The guys came round to help my parents with an ongoing problem that had stumped another company. Within half an hour they had identified the issue and recommend a solution. Year long problem sorted in a day. Highly recommended 👍🏼
They attended in response to an emergency call out when my lighting circuit failed. They were prompt, friendly, very thorough and efficient. They cleared up well afterwards and I have high praise for their business standards and ethics.
Very pleasant friendly manner, lightning response to get us back up and running after our power went down in the dead of winter. Knowledgeable with good communications/advise/solutions. Professional, neat and tidy bang up to date Installation/Repair... We would rate them 6 Stars if we could :) Highly recommended
our electricity tripped at 5.30pm on a Friday night! Called Daniel who worked with us trying different solutions to see us through the weekend, then sent his electricians to us on the Monday to investigate the issue. They were very thorough and advised on upgrades that were needed. Came to complete the job a few days later. Highly professional, the electricians were polite and helpful and kept disruptions to a minimum as they knew we were working from home. Now feel reassured with the electricity. 5 star service, would highly recommend.
Great team of guys
I cannot recommend this more, I had a problem with my Alarm system which no one else could find. I called Daniel which I should have done in the first place , he sent Chris the very next day. Chris spent a couple of hours looking for the fault and did all this with a smile on his face, he was polite chatty and certainly new his trade. Fault was found and all was good with a test. Great service from a local company. Thanks again for your help
Great service, I contacted them on a Friday and had the light fitted the following Monday. The person was very professional and friendly. Definitely, a company I would highly recommend!
We have used Daniel Gardner Electrical many times and would highly recommend them. They are quick, reliable and their work is of the highest standard.
Friendly, reliable service :)
Daniel Gardner's organisation has been a consistent and excellent electrical sub contractor for St Leonards School in St Andrews for a number of years. This year a new transformer was installed with 2*300 amp cables supplying one of the boarding houses. This required a new switch room and a change over the supply during the Christmas term holidays. The team working on it were excellent and dedicated to provide the best solution with a specific deadline for us as a client. We were delighted with the end result and look forward to a continued strong relationship with Daniel Gardner. Ken Dalton Chair of the Property Committee
I used Daniel Gardner's company to fit power to my garage and was very impressed at level of workmanship carried out and would highly recommend him to anyone needing electrical work, top job guys 👍
Daniel Gardner's colleagues responded positively and practically, to sort my broken pump! Very helpful, and they explained their 'fix' to me, for future reference. Much appreciated, especially their constructive attitude.
Daniel and his guys have done work for me in a few properties over the last year, and I d just like to say thanks to them for an efficient, prompt service at a very reasonable price. I always recommend him to my friends and family as I know 100% theyll do the best job.
