This man is an electrical genius. Has worked for us before. Totally nice guy who fitted us in today as a last minute thing. Solved the issue straight away. Polite, hard working and inspires confidence. Thank you Barry!
Summary:
We had an issue with our electrics and telephoned Barry. He offered help over the telephone and guided us through how to make the necessary checks and source the problem.
Comments:
Barry did not attend and carry out any work but he helped us enormously over the phone. He answered the call quickly and saved us the time and money on a call out. We will not hesitate to call him when we need help with anything else electrical in the future and are grateful for his time and assistance.
Summary:
Installation of double external wall socket and two outside lights.

Barry was very punctual, tidy and efficent. From the initial quote through to completion of the work Barry kept us updated and completed the work with the minimum amount of fuss.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Barry.

Summary:
Instal new switch board after 5 yearly inspection.
Comments:
Excellent, Barry gave us the results of the inspection promptly including the work which had to be done and the work that was "optional" having explained all the reasons for his suggestions. Such was our confidence in him that we immediately told him to get it all done.
Highly organised and efficient.
Summary:
Burnt out socket. Fuse box kept tripping.
Comments:
Initially we had a burnt out kitchen socket which Barry replaced, but late afternoon 7th Jan fuse box tripped and we had no power to sockets. No cooking, no fridge/freezer no wifi for home schooling! Barry was at the front door within 30 mins and had us up and running.
Returned a coupled of days later as problem seemed intermittent and began testing all sockets until he located the fault. Fuse tripped again first thing Saturday morning (6th Feb) - called Barry at 8:30 and he responded by 9am. We had by then identified that the issue was our faulty kettle.
Barry has come to our rescue directly on all occasions. Extremely considerate and polite. Tenacious when trying to find the fault. Reasonbly priced and always wears a mask.
Summary:
My heating, hot water, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer had stopped working this morning. Having checked the fuse board I found one of the switches had tripped, but I could not get it to stay up.
I have sole care of my very elderly Mother so needed help to get the problem fixed.
I phoned Barry Didcott at Direct Electrical Ltd, and he was with me within the hour.
Comments:
Barry was very thorough, and eventually found the fault, then was able to get everything back up and running for me.
Thank you Barry for coming out to me so quickly and making sure that we had our heating back. I am so grateful, and will certainly keep your number to hand.
Summary:
Return power to ring main.
Comments:
Fantastic service from Barry today, the day before Christmas and our sockets tripped out, no heat or fridge. However Barry arrived quickly and got straight to work. The job turned out to be extremely complex but Barry wouldn't be beaten and had us up and running in a couple of hours. We couldn't be more pleased! There is more work needed so we will be getting him back in the new year. A very pleasant man to deal with.
Summary:
Barry gave us our lights back in the living room!! It had been quite some time since they last worked and he did a fantastic job with our recessed lighting that had been very badly fitted. He went out of his way to get it finished quickly so that I could actually see.
Comments:
Replied so quickly and made time in his busy diary to visit. He actually did the same for my neighbour and fitted her in even though his diary was full. Really great job and very friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate in recommending Barry. Great job. Totally professional.
Barry gave careful prior consideration to the best way to run the required cable, which meant the installation on the day went very smoothly and only took 5 hours to complete.
We are very pleased and would certainly use them again and will recommend Direct Electrical to others.
