What your neighbours say

“James is a true professional. We have used his expertise across three homes and each job has been explained, planned and carried out with great care and attention. From an outdoor camera installation, garage wiring, light fitting replacements to a full house re-wiring. His work and communication is spot on. I would recommend him every single day.”

“James overcame problems from a shower leak that had damaged the area around a flush light in the kitchen and had to change all five lights as well as fixing the area of the ceiling around the failed light. He has just left with my praise and thanks for a job well done. I'd have no hesitation in recommending him for any electrical work. Found him on Checkatrade.”

“I chose Trent electrical services when moving in to the local area a few years ago. I initially chose them because of their great reviews, and I'm so glad I did as James has done several jobs for us over the past few years now and I can honestly say he is by far one of the best electricians around. Extremely trustworthy and knowledgeable, has great attention to detail in his work whilst delivering fantastic customer service. You can't put a price on that in my opinion, although I can tell you James prices are definitely competitive. I couldn't recommend Trent electrical services enough!”

Thanks again!!!”

“James at Trent Electrical Services has completed a number of jobs for me since I moved into the area. This has included installing an EV charger, installing light fittings, and sockets, to name a few jobs. James is competent, knowledgeable, and works to a high standard. One of the other most important factors that keeps me going back to him is that he works together with you to ensure that the completed works will meet your needs. Unlike some other electricians who will dictate what is best for you, he listens carefully and will suggest options to support your aims as long as it is safe and practical. He works to the appropriate standards and issues certification where appropriate. When quoting, he has always been fair and competitive too, open to offering a variety of options depending on your needs. I would not hesitate in recommending James to anyone looking for a skilled electrician.”

“James has completed a number of jobs for us here at the centre, including replacing our three-phase consumer unit, upgrading our old heating system with modern, energy-efficient electric radiators, installing our CCTV system, and carrying out various smaller call-out jobs. He is always professional, reliable, and works to an exceptionally high standard. His workmanship is excellent, and he consistently delivers quality results. We would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy electrician, and we look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“James carried out some electrical work in our home to bring the installation up to current regulations and improve the lighting in our kitchen. He replaced our old fuse board with a neat, modern metal consumer unit and installed LED downlights in the kitchen. James was polite, professional, and kept us informed throughout the job, explaining everything he was doing. He worked cleanly and tidily, keeping disruption to a minimum. His pricing was fair compared to other quotes we received, and the quality of his work was excellent. We would definitely use James again for any future electrical work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.”

“James visited my property today to replace an internal garage light and roughly 12 plug sockets/light switches (including double plugs). James turned up when expected, he was very polite and friendly and worked really quickly considering the amount of work to be done. He even sorted a nightmare 'earth wiring' issue left by previous homeowners of my property. He cleaned up afterwards. His quote was very reasonable. James was also reliable and turned up on the date expected. It's hard to get good trades people these days and I will definitely use James again.”

“Top service. Completed the work I requested quickly and efficiently. Good price as well, would recommend. Thank you”

“James was brilliant from first contacting me right through, he let me know the time he was coming and updated me on the day.

“Great job done would use again”

“I asked for a quote for Trent Electrical Services to wire an outdoor light and install a rotary isolator at the back of the house for a split air conditioning unit that was being fitted later in the month. James was quick to provide a quote and offered a very reasonable price for the work. Given that this was a big job, that required wiring to be installed from the fuse box at the front of the house to an external wall on the back of the house, the finish was excellent and well-concealed.

“I was requiring a local electrician to assess a domestic issue at a tenanted property (no power). As there appeared to be no power cut, I assumed maybe a fuseboard issue. I discussed the job with Trent Electrical (James) and was put at ease with his upfront honesty. He tended to the job and fixed the issue in no time. He charged exactly what he said it would cost. I will be saving his details for future reference. We need more trustworthy people like James. Thx James.”

Apart from the rewire, James installed exterior lighting and power sockets, thermal panels in two rooms, and new mains fed fire alarms. James was very professional in his work, and very approachable when discussing changes to the original brief. I trusted James with my house keys as I was working away so he could access the property. I would definitely use James again should I need further work undertaken.”

“James arrived on time and completed the job quickly. Found him to be competitive on price and was pleased with the workmanship.”

“When purchasing the house it was recommended we may benefit from a fuse board upgrade as the old one was not up to current regulations. Jay from Trent electrical services explained the procedure, provided a quote, and left it with us. After looking around we had Jay back to carry out the work. I have to say we couldn't have been happier. He arrived on time, set out his work area with dust sheets, reiterated what was going to happen, and did the work as agreed. Everything was done to a high standard, the price was as agreed, and we are more than happy. We even have space for future improvements”

“Our thermostat stopped working and so we used Checkatrade and James came around to replace it. We were so impressed with the fix we asked James to have a look at our burnt out kitchen appliance module which hadnt been replaced from the previous owners. This was quickly replaced too! James is professional, friendly, cleans up after his work and very reliable. We didnt know any local recommended electricians and so we thought we would try checkatrade.
