Very professional service, used by my letting agent GTH. Came to do full electrical inspection & then returned to carry out recommended improvements. Efficient, thorough & polite.

Ive used Mountstephens Electrical on several occasions and have always received a helpful and professional service. Weve had rewiring work, a new circuit board, lighting and most recently a new thermostat fitted. The work has always been efficient, neat and competitively priced. I would highly recommend if youre in or around the Taunton area.

Report
I use mountstephens electrical every time I need an electrician. They did a total rewire of my house when I moved in and I thought it would be chaos but they were so tidy and explained everything that needed doing. They were competitively priced for the work that needed doing too. I've had them back since to install heaters and again they did the job quickly with no mess despite having to lift floorboards! I won't use anyone else.
