We have used Darran Shave to do the electrical work in our rental houses for over 8 years and wouldn't think of using anyone else. We are always pleased with his work and he is extremely efficient and reliable.

Darran came out promptly dealing with my request, showed punctuality in delivering a quote and completed the job with his colleague in a timely manner. He was very happy to help out when I had an unforseen deadline. A professional and competent service was delivered at a reasonable price. Could not ask for anything more. Refreshing to see a company deliver what they promise. Thank you.
