Report
I was recommended GBR Electrical by multiple people via a facebook post on Formby Bubble - they were great from the first contact, came round to quote that very day and then supplied a great team to complete the works on the requested date. They arrived early(!), completed the jobs fast, very neatly and professionally, lovely polite team and I'd be more than happy to use them again. Highly recommend 10/10.
