Never trying DIY again! Drilled through a wire in the wall at 7pm! Called Paul and he was very kind about everything trying to come up with ways I could avoid an emergency call out. In the end I decided id rather get the repair that night so he came out within 25mins and fixed it professionally and was very kind and knowledgable. They kept everything extremely clean and he got everything back to normal. His charge was very reasonable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Good covid precautions also ensuring we weren't isolating, and wearing masks.

Paul and his son Owen are reliable, polite, and competitively priced. They have recently fitted a new consumer unit, two outside lights, down lights in our conservatory and two conservatory heaters. They were here on time every day, completed the work in good time, and the final bill matched the quote - no hidden extras. I would definitely use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them

I cannot fault Paul and Owen. They are professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I am a woman on my own and with some trades I feel they may be taking advantage of my situation,but not pbw. They have taken away the worry of an older property electrics and I can sleep soundly knowing my electrics are safe! After a short time period I found their advice invaluable and trusted their advice 100% . They arrive on time when they say they'll be there.(which in itself is a rarity!)
They are clean and tidy. Now if I need any electrical work big or small they're my go to electricians. I recommend

We used PBW Electrics to carry out installations on two of our properties. We found Paul to be knowledgable, diligent , a clean and tidy worker, but most importantly his advice to use quality components as opposed to using 'cheaper' alternatives has been justified, We now know we have electrical installations that will stand the test of time. My wife & I recommend Paul, he will not let you down
