Am also looking for a qualified electrician if anyone has any recent recommendations

Just wanted to flag up that I picked up MHP's recomendation and ended up using Keith to carry out all the electrical work for our extension, which came to a few thousand pounds so a considerable amount of work! Keith was excellent, extremely generous with his time and helpful. He went out of his way to ensure we could live in the property while the work was being done and didn't mind us changing our mind about things. He worked evenings and weekends to suit us, and was extremely professional and most importantly, put safety first in everything. He came up with good solutions to problems and I am very grateful to MHP for the recommendation. If you're looking for an electrician, you really can't do better than Keith. He's a nice guy too!

We also highly recommend Keith who is patient and good at figuring out tricky work AND explaining it in layperson terms...
