Extremely happy with the work carried out. Reliable and trustworthy, very polite and tidy. I would recommend Bill and his son Ryan without hesitation. Thank you

As Bill mentioned, there was a delay in the lights arriving, but I was kept informed of everything and Ryan went out of his way to go and collect what should have been delivered to the house. Thank you again.

Thank you. Was a pleasure to work on this project replacing old spot lights. We had the solution fitting quality LED down lights with over sized plates in chrome. Finished result looks great. We had a delay with waiting for the lights, however we did not let the customer down and finished on time.

Thank you Dave. This was a kitchen rewired ready for a new kitchen. There was a lot of work correcting wiring which had been installed to a poor standard. We installed new wiring to bring it up to the latest wiring regulations and made sure back boxes had their rubber grommets in. We also installed several new sockets (Hagar make with smooth round edges, we always quote using Hagar sockets and switches.

Bill Goodwin Electical have worked on several major building project for us and are exceptional.

We have worked with Bill Goodwin and his team on several major projects in recent years. Our experience with Goodwin Electical has been entirely posiitive, with absolutely no issues. We have worked with other electrical contractors over the years and in different parts of the country, and while generally satisfactory, it often took remedial work and more expenses to resolve problems they should have foreseen at the start. Bill has always proved to be exemplary to work with - from initial design, suggestions regarding optimal solutions, installation and 1st and 2nd fix, through to commissioning, testing and building regs approvals. His company are also very competitive in terms of the final cost of the job. His technical competence and knowledge of the regulations up to and including the 17th Edition, Amendment 3 and, going forward to the new 18th Edition is incomparable. He and his team willingly overcome any issues resulting from either the building design, installation complexity, or problems caused by other trades. Whenever possible, Goodwin Elecrical's is our first choice.

Thank you John for your review. This review really brings to the heart about what Goodwin Electrical are. We are not the cheapest, part of our cost relates to all the professional training we do and keeping up with the latest wiring regulations. NICEIC approved contractor is at the highest level. And hold a JIB Gold card which means we are expert electricians.

An electrical company who is only a domestic installer does not hold the City and Guilds 2391 Inspection and testing qualification. These means they are not qualified at the highest level in inspection and testing and cannot be registered as a NICEIC approved contractor.

So if you want a truly professional job with expert free advice then ask for Goodwin Electrical.

Thank you Debbie for the review. We always try hard to give the best service possible. Lights can be a tricky subject where we can give good advice which also needs a input from the customer to which lights they would like. We have the flexibility to be available on Saturdays and after hours to save the customer needing to take time off from work.

Thank you Adele for the Review. We install quality LED downlights and make sure we do careful calculations to get the LED lights where they will perform best and minimize shadows. Installing downlights with careful design will make any room stand out and make the owners feel much better. LED lights give instant light and are low energy.
