Turned up at agreed time to quote. Very responsive over email. Turned up on time to do the work. Overcame problems and even though the job got bigger the more problematic wiring they uncovered they hardly charged me any more for the extra time it took (3 hours). Very impressed.
Fitted cooker well, thoroughly cleaned up and were good lads. Highly recommend them

ABM Electrical Services are reliable, courteous and very efficient. I needed the batteries changed in my smoke alarms so contacted them late evening and they were round next morning. Marvellous.

I own Love to Eat Cafe in Woodthorpe. I have used ABM Electrical Services since the outset of my business. They have performed a range of electrical services from outdoor sockets, PAT testing and general electrical services. Alex and his team are always responsive and professional. Even if they can't get to you straight away, then try to guide and advise you in order to keep the cafe services functioning. I'd highly recommend them. Thank you.
