Report
I always like to use local services where possible. Have been visited by Dave O'Brian and given a date and time to have some work undertaken, I made the nessessary arrangements. Alas he neither turned up or rang. Totally unreliable. I have now had the work completed by another local electrician who also offered a variety of of options none of which was offered by O'Brian
