A friendly polite worker posted 06/01/2023

3days before Christmas the lights in 3 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen, stopped working. Only left with lounge and hall. Unable to get hold of usual electrician immediately, was advised no one available until after Christmas. Date given as 28th December 1st call. Fed up with no call back, looked on Next door, Found Darren Horton number, within an hour he had turned up temporarily fixed the problem, saying he would come back in the New Year, the 5th to be precise. He found a few faults with my electrics, bearing in mind this bungalow is over 50 years old, Never had any updating with the electrics. Suffice to say he has upgraded all for us and,added new lights. Darren is very polite and advises you every step of the way. I shall certainly use his services again,when I need to upgrade my outside lighting. Will certainly be recommending him.

Punctual, very friendly, very tidy and respectful. Totally satisfied. Very well priced and availability of appointment even though he is really busy was quick.

It was a pleasure to have Darren working in our home posted 11/08/2022

Darren did an excellent job rewiring our bungalow whilst it was still occupied, rectifying many safety issues, He was very flexible in his approach allowing the work to be completed over six two day sessions. This multi session approach enabled us to still live in the property whilst the work was being completed, with us always having fully working electrics at the end of each session. Darren is a very organised, tidy, and methodical worker, and is very personable as well. I will use Darren for any future work I need doing and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking to have electrical work done.

Darren replaced an extractor fan and upgraded the backlighting for a piece of artwork. Both were completed well and on time, with the replacement backlighting a big improvement, which has transformed our entrance hall. A stand out part of Darren's ethos, is that he responded to my initial contact through his website and fit us into his busy schedule, this is a mark of his professionalism.

Dodgy landlord and letting agency sending cowboy electricians needed a second opinion. posted 27/11/2021

I cannot rate enough!!! Extremely helpful and friendly!!! Unfortunately I have been subject to cowboy lettings agents and landlord who would send out their own trades person. I called Darren to come and look at my electrical supply and he confirmed that I am also paying for communal lighting and other electrics within my building. His detailed report is now going to really help me prove that I have been duped for 3 years! I called he knew exactly what I was talking about put me at ease and did the job expertly! I will not hesitate to call Darren again with any electrical query and I will be passing his information on to friends and family. If Calsberg made electricians they would be called Darren Horton :)

Great stuff - thank you! posted 27/10/2021

We moved house and discovered we needed a new oven installed and the wiring put in to enable this. The previous oven was both broken and had been put on a supply which didn’t match the requirements of the appliance and was therefore causing no end of problems. Darren was able to identify the exact fault, advise us on what changes and additional wiring were needed and what we needed to look for in the new appliance. When Darren came to do the work, he found a better, even neater (albeit more difficult for him) way of running the necessary cabling. We’re now completely confident in our electrics and can enjoy the new house knowing everything has been fixed. Thank you!!

Darren was recommended by a neighbour. I'd had an EICR done by another contractor and didn't feel comfortable with their quote. Darren stepped in, went through the report in detail, and visited the property before accepting the job. During that visit, he identified some issues that the other guy had missed, and made some other useful and balanced comments. He worked efficiently and tidily (it was a long day's work), and visited me on his way home to go through the job. I feel confident that this is a good job well done, and will ask him to quote for work on another property as well.

He even replaced our house number which wasn’t an electrical job, so I have no hesitation in recommending and will definitely be using for any future work we may need.

Nice chap, worked quietly with no fuss or chat. posted 26/02/2020

He knew exactly what was needed, in order to avoid any celing re-decoration. He replaced the lights with added surround to ensure holes in ceiling not visible. Cost was as per initial quote. Job competed in 2 hours, starting 8am at his request. Cost was more than I had hoped, but he recommended using superior lights rather than those on sale at local DIY shops which are far less reliable. He gave me his personal; 5-year guarantee. Very happy, my wife can now see to cook !

Cannot fault the service posted 28/02/2019

Darren was recommended to us by family and I have no hesitation in doing the same to anyone else who is looking for an electrician. We have had problems with the electrics in our garage, off & on for some time & things came to a head after we had recently purchased a fridge/freezer. Having installed it in the garage we soon found the fuse to the outbuilding had tripped and blown. I rang Darren and was really impressed with the way he was able to fit me in 2 days later (the only day that I was available over the week. I found Darren to be very polite and friendly and he set about giving the entire electrics in the garage a thorough check.and quickly identified the problem, He quickly rectified the problem and tested the ampage to ensure there would be no overload. Darren also gave some helpful advice on installation of LED spotlights & I will be recontacting him to do the work.Darren' s price was extremely reasonable; we had feared we could be looking at a hefty bill. All-in-all, I can' speak highly enough of Darren's friendliness, professionalism and value for money. He will be our go-to electrician from now on.

Honestly priced and highly experienced and competent electrician posted 21/02/2019

Darren was introduced to us by our plasterer when we had the kitchen ceiling skimmed (over the artex) and we wanted to have the downlights fitted. He did a very good job then, so when we wanted to replace the old ceiling roses and batten lamp holders for our bedroom, lounge, study etc and exterior light fitted by the front door, we called Darren. We are very pleased with the work carried out once again. Darren came almost half an hour earlier than agreed and got on with the job. He is very tidy, courteous, experienced and competent. We are particularly pleased with the installation of the exterior light as there is no cable visible on the outside brick and the switch inside is very neatly fitted near the ceiling corner of the porch – again no cable visible. He took the time to make sure the job is well done. The price is reasonable and he issued the certificate (via e-mail) that evening. He will be our go to electrician and we would recommend Darren Horton to anyone who needs electrical works done. Highly recommended!

A simple small cost job but the advice given was invaluable posted 18/02/2019

For many years we have been struggling to put on a light in an alcove due to the poor positioning of the switch, being vertically challenged and increasing age. Darren came on time, but didn't just lower the switch down the wall, he asked our requirements and then made suggestions to its positioning - even though the job we chose needed extra work but not extra cost. As a result we can now reach the switch easily and it is well hidden on the alcove wall.
