We had a problem with our smoke alarms. Called at the start of the week and he came 2 days later and fitted new modern alarms. He left the ceilings unmarked and made sure any dust etc was cleared up. The price we paid was the price quoted and he was cheerful and friendly. Very very happy and would definitely recommend.

Had a problem with our bathroom light and extractor fan that needed fixing ASAP. I found good Facebook reviews for Samsons and used the WhatsApp message option to contact them. They replied really quickly with quotes and came round straight away the next morning and sorted everything. Very happy with the communication and service and will use them for any other electrical work needed in future 🙂

They went all out to replace our shower unit at short notice as my daughter is disabled and relies on our wet room for her independence. Turned up initially to inspect the fault and knew exactly what it was and isolated the power on it to make it safe. Gave advice on the model of shower I had to buy to replace it and where to buy. Great workmanship and service and a good installation price. Really pleased and will definitely use again.

Great old fashioned service. Attended to a possible electrical fault in my Fathers apartment, but nothing found and reassured my Dad who’s 98 that all was fine but may be worth considering a new consumer unit in the not too distant future. Didn’t even charge for the call out but we will be booking Sonny to update the consumer board soon. Fantastic service, one of the good guys.

Sonny and Jake recently rewired my kitchen after it was gutted. They are focused and efficient. I was very impressed by the way they resolved a couple of unexpected hiccups extremely quickly. I saw the rewiring before it was plastered over and it was a very neat job. Sunny also forwarded me safety check paperwork very promptly. Definitely recommend!
