"When sourcing an electrician I checked No Cowboys and am happy to find Basil K a competent electrician and well reviewed. His workmanship didn't disappoint as we are very happy with the results of replacing our old halogen recessed lighting with LED recessed fittings. They look fabulous and our kitchen never looked so bright. He also checked a power point for us which was fine. I recommend Basil and will be using his service again."

"Basil does a bunch of stuff that is polite behaviour in the day to day world, which I've sadly found sometimes lacking when dealing with electricians and plumbers etc - he clearly puts the customers first in that he turns up on time, does great work without overcharging, and communicates clearly what is going on. He has done work at my place multiple times. I recommend him without reservation. "

"I strongly recommend Basil! I needed an electrician unexpectedly when we realised that a tiling job that was underway needed the electrical outlets sorted. I rang Basil and he was able to come and check out the job within an hour, between other jobs. He problem solved effectively with the tiler, and came back this week after the tiler's work was finisehd, to work on the electrical fittings. He did a good job and was great to deal with. I'd be happy to contract him again any day!"

"Excellent service at a competitive rate.

I contacted Basil at 4pm on a Friday after we had a sudden power outage. He was on site within an hour and quickly diagnosed the issue, then offered to use the rest of the hour fixing niggly issues that didn't justify a call out on their own. Very pleased with the service overall, great value for money."

Basil calls you back when you leave a message, he keeps in in contact so you know what's happening, and he arrives on time. He was able to advise on what to do and finish the job out on one visit.

Even when we had initially thought this was going to take one hour, I found a few extra things for Basil to have a look at. He politely looked at them all and when he had finished, I felt that I had achieved something. Will definitely continue to use Basil for future work."

This time Basil installed a new oven and hob in one of my flats. He came even earlier than promised, did a wonderful job and even replaced some lightbulbs in a very high ceiling as an extra. The place was left spotless afterwards and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Basil K Electrical Services and will definitely use them in future."

He was very polite, reliable, and accommodating. The quality of his work is exceptional, and he is flexible with additional work required while he was on-site. Nothing was a problem.

"Basil has completed two electrical jobs for me. The first being the installation of two fire alarms and checking the wiring of the existing alarms and two electrical switches. The second time was replacement of an en suite bathroom heater, replacing a towel rail and repairing a towel rail switch. That's what I like about Basil he recommends what is best for the customer, suggesting repairing the switch over replacement. He did need to replace a towel rail in our 2nd bathroom and did a great job having to drill new holes in the tile wall and filling the gaps of the existing holes. He is in and out and a true professional who arrives on time. A genuine nice chap who I would highly recommend."

"We were really pleased at the work Basil did for us in replacing and upgrading several lights in March 2014. Unfortunately one of the fittings developed a fault and Basil fixed it immediately when we called him about it. Unfortunately due to a manufacturing fault, the problem recurred in July so we contacted Basil. He promptly replaced the fitting free of charge.
Basil is always easily contactable by phone and email and he arrives exactly when promised. He is very cheerful, efficient and tidy. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to others, or getting him back to do any other electrical jobs in the future. Thanks Basil, we appreciate the great job you did and the replacement of the light fitting- the new one is working great.

"Basil K Electrical is a joy to work with. Very reliable and customer focused. He gets the job done to your precise request and complete satisfaction because he listens patiently and puts your needs and wants first.
He has never failed me in the many years he has done electrical work for me. This is why he is the only electrician I use now. Why bother with the rest when you have the best? Perhaps the most important aspect of Basil's work is his honesty. You feel it in his manner. And of course his work is of the highest quality, honest price and safety."
