    CLIENT REVIEWS

    I’ve used REF for several jobs over the years, from a full house re-wire, to the addition of a solar integrated EV charging point.

    They have always been neat, professional and punctual, with sensible pricing to boot.

    I’d 100% recommend them to others, and having at least one trade that I can totally rely on for professionalism and pragmatism locally is fantastic.

    We commissioned REF to do the electrics in our new extension. Not only was their quote competitive but the speed of the work, professionalism on the job and consideration to our family was outstanding. We would like to thank both the Jameses, Emily and especially Elliot. We highly recommend this firm.

    REF has been my go to for years for work around the house, offering sound advice and providing options when I needed a new board and power to the shed among other things. I’ve always recommended them to friends and family as needs arise and continue to do so.
