I was lucky enough to find Adam's details through a flyer in the block of flats I used to live in.
Adam has now helped me out a few times with a range of jobs, from spotlights to new consumer units, he's also done some work for my parents too. Wouldn't hesitate to use again or recommend.

I've been using A B Electrical for a number of years now and they always provide an A* service. Adam has carried out electrical inspections, light circuit rewires, consumer unit upgrades as well as smaller jobs like changing light fittings, electric hobs and switches. I couldn't imagine using anyone else!!!!

Adam came out to do an EICR and a bit of fault finding for us at quite short notice. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, giving honest and practical feedback around all options available to us without the scaremongering and upselling that a lot of those in the trade can sometimes do . A friendly and clearly highly knowledgeable guy and one I wouldn't hesitate to use again (I'm already planning to in fact for a CU replacement at some point) Highly recommended!

In his most recent visit, Adam quickly identified the problem we had with our outside light and came back later on the same day to replace it. He is prompt and efficient and we have been very pleased with all the work he has done for us.

We were having difficulty finding a local electrician and then read reviews about AB Electrical, so contacted them to install a kitchen spotlight bar. Adam was prompt, friendly and reasonably priced. I would recommend him and thankfully now have an electrician for future requirements.

I contacted Adam to arrange an inspection of the electrics of a house I just bought. It was great that he was able to fit it in so quickly. He carried out a very thorough inspection of all the boards, sockets and lights in the property compiling a report as he went but also explained what he was doing and what he found. I received the report the same evening along with a quote for all the remedial work necessary along with some additional jobs I had requested. I am very happy with my experience so far and will be engaging Adam's services for the further work.
