Electrician
Hi all,
First time poster, but a Hertford resident for around 5 years... I'm looking for a decent electrician to do a full test of the wiring in my new house, and also to clear up some niggles (stupidly placed light switches, ones that appear inoperative, very dodgy looking wiring in ceiling lights). I was wondering if anyone can recommend a sparks that might be able to help out ideally in the next couple of weeks?
When I was selling my last house (in Willowmead), a guy came round to survey the wiring on behalf of my buyer, and he was from Bengeo and appeared to be honest enough (stated that there was nothing wrong with the wiring and thought the buyer didn't need anything done). But I cannot for the life of me find his info in my files or in any of the directories...
Cheers!

Thank you Del, he's popping round later today to have a look. I'll post feedback here in due course if we get him to undertake some work.

Was there any feedback for this guy? Or any other recommendations for a small job (don't want to pay a fortune)?

Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner. I ended up using the brother of a friend, who wouldn't, I think, normally do domestic stuff like mine (he works for a larger contractor). We did contact Vic but didn't use him in the end, but I have no negative feedback about him - I just ended up with a better offer.

Well, Vic has moved out of the area, one of them is not taking any work on before Chistmas and the other is on a 4 week lead time.
Are there any other electricians that anyone can recommend? I'm loathe to pluck a number out of the yellow pages as gawd knows which are the cowboys and which are good.
