Vasile did a great job diagnosing a short circuit problem with an electric shower that was blowing the fuse. He offered me options including rewiring the circuit. I chose the option of isolating the circuit as the shower was no longer used. Vasile isolated the circuit to fix the short circuit.

I’m revising my original 5-star review after the repair failed 6 months later. While I got a prompt response to my initial warranty request, a fortnight was then wasted where my suggestions for dates went unanswered and an appointment was finally set only to get cancelled on the day. A request to specify a time for a new appointment has likewise been ignored. After 3 weeks without a bathroom light, I’m now paying for a repair with a new contractor rather than continue chasing such unreliable service.

We are niceic registered contractors with extensive experience in electrical installations and maintenance. We pride ourselves with quality workmanship and exceptional customer service.

Shocking work. We paid £3,400 for a brand new bathroom with new flooring throughout the home and this builder James Baker who runs under various business names from J W to The Dark Spark electrical in Spalding has destroyed the bathroom and his so called friends have placed a worthless and extremely shoddy bad job. A 5 year old could do better. We are now taking legal action after a flooding, no work for 2 weeks and wall panels that are such a bad job we have to get a new bathroom fitted.

Aurora Electrical & Maintenance are based in Swansea covering South Weat Wales area. We carry out all Domestic and Commercial Electrical work from house rewires, to consumer unit changes. I have been qualified for just over 5 years but have been in the IT industry previously and have always carried out lots of my own DIY work. We also have a Maintenance arm to the business due to looking after a lot of Air BnB and landlord run properties, so also offer a wide range of services in this area. These have included plumbing issues, blocked toilets and sinks, replacing thermostats or thermal rods for hearing systems, installation of routers and access points and TV brackets and shelves. No question is a silly question, if we don't offer the service we have a directory full of other trades so should be able to provide a solution. We are a team of fully registered and qualified Electricians, we have full insurances (public and professional indemnity) and carry out our work to the highest standard. We offer EIC and EICR certification, and part p certification for building control. A number of estate agents use us for regular Electrical Inspection Condition Reports. Our vehicles are fully stocked up with the general stock needed so usually we can solve the electrical issue with ease and speed without the need to call back multiple times. Feel free to ask us any questions, visit our Facebook or View our portfolio of work, if there's something particular you'd like photos of or advice on then get in touch and we can help.
