I recently wanted CCTV installed at home. From the initial contact, through installation and support afterwards the service was prompt and faultless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Derek and the team to anyone for any job, big or small. Much appreciated as always!

Report
Gave these guys 3 jobs to do, fit a push-press for a battery doorbell, replace a light-switch that was feeling warm when used and fix a light that flickered. they got 1 job right (the light switch) didn't fix one (replaced the switch when it was actually a faulty pull-cord and made one job worse (assumed mains supply for doorbell without checking and fitted a backlit push button that flattens the battery) chased them to fix their mess twice then gave up. DO NOT RECOMMEND !
