Most reviewers of Deeks Electrical Contractors Ltd describe prompt, efficient and friendly service, with EV charger and solar panel work recurring often. Several mention tidy installations, clear communication and staff explaining the work. Two reviewers, however, report poor treatment: one describes rude, unprofessional behaviour and agreements not honoured, and another says repeated phone and email contacts about an EV charger went unanswered and no one got back to them.
Great communication, fast return, good price and a great installation done by Aaron.
What a mess. They can't even honour agreements... Rude, unprofessional boys
James P was methodical, obliging and diligent in carrying out our fixed wiring check and remedial work. Highly recommended
Great experience, the engineer was professional and get the job done.
James was very prompt and helpful dealing with our enquiry. Deeks were able to install our EV charger within a matter of weeks whereas other firms contacted would have taken over a month. Hayden who installed it was on time, efficient, tidy, friendly and helpful. It was a pleasant experience dealing with this company.
My reaction to a recent visit (by Aaron and Adam?) to connect up two Velux windows' blinds, high up in an inaccessible ceiling, which hadn't been connected by builders all of 15 years ago, was to thank them for doing their 'good deed for the day'! I'd blamed my husband for years for his useless techy skills in not being able to get the remote control to operate the blinds, only for the lads to bring an enormous ladder to reach the windows' mechanism, get up there, and do the necessary connection. Yes, we were paying - but by Jove, it felt like having had a good deed done for us! We'd anticipated that a 'tower' would have to be constructed for access, so the use of their huge ladder was an added bonus!
My experience with Deeks Electrical was great throughout our EV charger requirement. From first contact, James was very helpful and provided advice and recommendations. The systems were easy to use for payments. Josh installed our EV Charger and arrived on time on the day, explained everything, and was very friendly and clean. I am very happy with my entire experience. Thanks Josh and James!
I'd definitely recommend Deeks to install an EV charger. Great communication from Luke and James; and Haydn the installer was polite and efficient.
Excellent piece of work by Hayden, very professional job
EV charger I will highly recommend this company if you need a home charger for your car. They helped me all the way in the process from to choose the right one for me to the installation and setting it up. Very friendly and professional service. Thank you:)
Very good and efficient
Very impressed by Deeks' professionalism. Always clear, no fuss and reliable. Hayden did carried out an outstanding job for my elderly mother to install a new circuit and oven, keeping her updated and tidying up thoroughly after himself. Thank you!
Had an issue with my solar system, Josh attended and diagnosed the issue was on the roof caused by pigeons! Luke arranged scaffolding, Ryan and Oscar removed the panels, Luke arranged a roof clean, James and Oscar then attended reinstalled the now clean panels and roof, system now working perfectly. Excellent service all round , highly recommended
Prompt service and excellent workmanship
In June 2025 Deeks undertook a full rewiring and solar panel/battery installation of our 19th century 5 bedroom cottage (with barn and workshop) in Dorset – which we had just purchased. They had previously undertaken a site visit and prepared an estimate and scope of work which we had accepted. Although we had used Deeks on many occasions on our previous property in Hertfordshire, we had no experience of using them on such a complex and expensive project. We were not disappointed with Deeks performance and they impressed us on a number of fronts. Firstly the team, led by James and comprising Sam, Oscar and Hayden were courteous and polite throughout the installation. Even when the work became particularly dirty, difficult and problematic we heard no complaints – and James kept us informed of the progress and plans throughout. Technically, the installation complied to the envisaged scope (as slightly amended following a thorough ‘walk around’ with James on day one). The scope was achieved despite un-envisaged difficulties with cable channelling – Dorset stone is incredibly hard – and restricted access to roof spaces. This did lead to a work extension of one week which was mutually agreed with Deeks senior management. The time extension took the pressure off of James’ team to the benefit of the project and everyone involved. The solar panel installation required scaffolding which proved problematic to arrange. Thankfully Deeks were willing and able to reschedule their work around the scaffolding availability. This did entail Deeks using a known sub-contractor for some of the work, but these subcontractors were as friendly and professional as James’ rewiring team. Deeks are available for work across the country and we would certainly recommend that you consider them for your project. The company is small enough to allow senior management to engage in the project and be available for discussions, yet they have the resources and technical expertise to complete this complicated installation.
Sam was super helpful, he carried out our certificates and pat testing, jumped under tables, moved bit out his way and allowed us to carry on with our own work while he did it. Many thanks
All done. Thank you very much
Very positive experience. System only in a week but working well. Luke is responsive and the team doing the work all seemed polite and switched on. Especially James.
Luke and the whole Deeks team did a fantastic job on our Solar and battery installation! It was quick, efficient and they tidied up after themselves. But the thing that’s stood out to me the most is the after care, they’ve been fantastic! Highly recommend to anyone after Solar/ Batteries installed.
Highly disappointed. I’ve tried contacting Deeks electricals since December 2024 on several occasions (during their opening hours) but no one ever answered the phone and the answerphone tells you send an email (if digitally excluded, that might be tricky). Around 18th January 2025, I finally was able to speak to someone (I explained how difficult it was to speak to someone ; at least for advice/guidance me through the process) who advised that I email them pictures of possible location for my Ev charger and location of the fuse box; which I did. Never heard back from Deeks. I went to their office and was able to speak to their staff member (via the intercom) who asked if I emailed them and I confirmed that I did. The staff member said they will look into it and I will be contacted. Unfortunately, till date no contact from Deeks. I finally contacted a company in London, who talked me through the whole process, did a site visit, ordered the charger and completed installation; all within a week. Whilst I appreciate that Deeks may be busy, it would have been good practice to manage the expectations of potential customers, to let them know you can’t render your service to them instead of wasting their time hoping you would contact them. Will definitely not recommend.
I can highly recommend Luke at Deeks when it comes to EV chargers. He was knowledgeable, professional and delivered the fantastic service. The install went to plan and it looks great. Thanks you once again.
Deeks Electrical came recommended via a request made on FB. They have worked across Hitchin and have an excellent reputation. Very responsive After quote process, turned up to do the work. Led by James, an excellent job. Installation of Tesla EV charging unit. Installation governed by Tesla. James used their newly updated app to make everything work. Very professional and workmanlike - thank you Mark T
Very response and professional and competent I would recommend them without hesitation. They find practical solutions to every and any electrical issue in a cost effective way .
Great efficient service, will definitely use Deeks again
The solar PV system installed by Deeks for our club comprises 54 solar panels with a design annual yield of nearly 17,000kWh and batteries with storage capacity of 11.6kWh. The panels were installed on 3 sides of the 20 degree pitch hip roof. The installation was completed in November 2023 and has since operated reliably, with a daily yield (in March) of up to 60kWh. The installation team, led by Ryan, and under the overall supervision of Luke, were efficient, tidy and helpful. Our club are very happy to recommend Deeks as a high quality solar PV installer.
Just had an EV charger and solar panels fitted by Deeks. Very prompt and efficient from quote to installation, and friendly and professional service from the team. Happy to recommend.
Excellent all-round service from the team from our initial enquiry through installation of our Solar PV system and after- installation support.
Really nice and knowledgeable staff
Very impressed by Deeks Electricals' professionalism and level of service. They clearly care about their customers and we will be using them again.
Great experience of getting Solar Panels and storage installed. Luke and the team were knowledgeable, responsive, flexible and tidy. They made the complex simple and were focused on completing the job. Thank you!
Luke and team did a great job of providing our EICR certification and works. They did this in a very prompt and efficient manner and to a high standard. I particularly appreciated Luke's responsiveness on FB Messenger he always got back to me immediately and that provided great reassurance. Many thanks again!
Great EV charging point installation. Took the time to get cable discretely positioned where we wanted it, very happy with final result. Many thanks.
Super easy to book, fantastic product and an excellent service. So so happy with the EV charger Luke and the team fitted and the process from start to finish was incredibly smooth. I can not recommend their service highly enough, thanks very much!
EV charging installation. Easy to book and good info provided on options. Arrived when said they would bang on time. Professional and courteous electricians completed the install. Good demo at the end. Highly recommended.
After a major and massive power cut caused by lightning, causing the Easee unit not working; Deeks responded in a timely manner to resolve the issue. They are to be highly commended. James did a superb job.
I have known and used Deeks Electrical for many years, and never had a problem, fast, reliable and knowledgeable guys. I would highly recommend Deeks Electrical
Great service, end to end... very happy with the EV charger unit recommended. Installation was quick and professional
Awesome service, easy to book survey and installation was done the next day. Very professional, flexible and responsive ... putting the customer first !
Really friendly and professional company from start to finish. Highly recommend!
The team arrived on time and were very professional and helpful. The main person, Luke, took time to explain what they needed to do, how they would do it, and asked if I had any questions or concerns about their suggested plan. Fully setup the unit and provided a tutorial of the management app. And an added bonus they left everything tidier than when they arrived! Highly recommend. Great service, professional approach, very happy customer!
Deeks fitted our EV charger and we are very pleased with their work. As a result we would recommend to anyone looking to do the same.
The service was prompt and efficient. The installation was completed neatly and professionally.
Had an EV charger installed yesterday. The quality of work was outstanding the 2 chaps were super professional. I'm very pleased with the results.
Fantastic service. Efficient and friendly.
Great service from Deeks EV, having had delays and poor excuses from other suppliers, I went with Deeks, what a difference!! Responsive, efficient & polite, a great service by the whole team, from initial enquiry, quote to install.. Many thanks
Deeks were recommended locally, we're very pleased with their efficient, speedy service, and our new charging point installed.
Great service - would highly recommend. Very quick and efficient from start to finish on the install of EV point. From enquiry to installation all done in a very efficient and friendly manner.
Deeks EV were recommended by CTEK to install my home charger. From the beginning to the end of the process, Simon and Luke have been both professional and friendly. Always keeping me informed of progress including an update email on a Sunday! And the installation was thorough with no shortcuts made to achieve a high quality finish. If you're putting in an EV charger, these are the guys to go to...
Fantastic service from these guys. Had a ctek charge station installed and they were on time and nothing but professional. Would definitely recommend to our customers 👍👍
Brilliant service and knowledge!
Very easy to get a quote and organise charge point installation. Luke and Simon are a great team.
A great company with a high quality service and friendly employee’s. Would recommend anyone in need of an electric car charge point installed at their home or place of work.
After contacting Deeks EV with little knowledge of car chargers, they provided me with excellent service and suitable recommendations on the most suitable charging point. Didn't have to wait long for them to install the charging point. High quality and professional service. Definitely recommend.
Excellent prompt service
Luke and James arrived late at 7.15 pm due to being held up on their last job, in Torquay. I'm near Oxford. They were happy to go ahead and start the installation at that late hour and in the rain. Great lads and a very professional job done. Left at 10pm, thanking me for allowing them to do the job. Highly recommended 👌
Arrived within an hour of our call, excellent service from both the office and the electrician. Many thanks
