Over 1,100 five-star reviews from homeowners who want safe, reliable, no-nonsense electrical work.
Most homeowners don’t call an electrician because it’s fun – they call because they want things fixed properly, safely, and without stress.
“Is this safe?”
“Is this going to cost a fortune?”
“Will they turn up when they say they will?”
“Am I about to end up on some DIY disaster programme?”
Choosing the right electrician matters – and not all electricians are the same.

If it’s urgent or a safety issue, we’ll always try to prioritise you.
If you’re buying, selling, renting, or worried about the condition of your electrics - yes.
An EICR gives you a clear picture of what’s safe, what needs attention, and what can wait.

Posted on Google Javier AlvarezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience from start to finish. The team showed real empathy, strong proactivity, and a high level of professionalism in resolving an issue that had been ongoing with both my electricity provider and charger company. It was a relief to have someone step in, take ownership, and get the job done efficiently. Truly a “saved the day” moment. Thank you for the excellent service.Posted on Google Cliff CrouchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A pleasure to work with this company, reliable ,on time and good job, administrative side very efficent. Well done.Posted on Google Kevin MatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. GU Solutions installed an EV charger in February 2025. The charger worked as expected for over six months but then started to apply only approximately 50% of the charge requested. After carrying out some preliminary checks to prove the car was not at fault, I contacted GU Solutions as the charger was still under warranty. I am pleased to be able to say that a quick and positive response was received. Gary contacted me by telephone and we talked through the issue. He then visited my house to test the charger and concluded there was potentially an issue with either the charger, or more likely, an update to the App or firmware that had affected its performance. He contacted the charger manufacturer and they provided some advice. The problem has now been resolved and I commend GU Solutions for the manner in which they addressed my issue; it is good to know that customer care is a trademark of the companies ethos.Posted on Google TomTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
