Reviews of Direct Electrical & Alarms Peterborough Ltd

Quick response to initial enquiry regarding socket issue and revisit for lighting issues arranged without a problem. 

All jobs dealt with efficiently and very happy with the work carried out.

Barry responded to my emailed request within hours and arrived 20 minutes after our subsequent telephone conversation. He resolved the issues with great dexterity. He advised regarding replacement of the units with newer alarms containing long life batteries - which will be undertaken in 6 - 9 months time. If you want great and knowledgeable service with a smile then Barry is your man.

The light in my bathroom stopped working and, as I am in my 80's, I was unable to reach the light to attempt to change the bulb.

I called Barry and he put a bulb in but it was still not working. He checked the pully-cord and fan switch and all electrical connections but the diagnosis was that the issue was with the actual light fitting itself. He kindly went and bought a new light unit and fitted it and I am absolutely delighted with this new brighter LED light; much better than before.

Barry was absolutely superb. Such a nice man; so caring, considerate and he went above and beyond to ensure that I had a working light.

I would thoroughly recommend Barry to anyone and will use him again in the future when the need arises.

Delighted that the job was done so quickly. I have used Barry for my alarm (which he fitted) for 5 years. Always been very pleased with the quality of the job and speed of service. He is always friendly and polite. Would recommend him to anyone.

Located fault, spent time explaining what he need to do and why, making sure that we were happy with what he did. Alarm is fixed unfortunately carpet isn’t but fitter is coming back next week! Very reasonable rates for time spent here. Tidy and professional, did not hurry but took a logical approach in locating fault.

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable - recommended.

We've used Barry a number of times, and will continue to do so, because he turns up when he says he will, does the job to a high standard and for what we feel is a reasonable price.  

Had tried 2-3 other people (not from this web site) and they had arrived but for whatever reason not done the job at all, over a period of at least two weeks.  After explaining the situation to Mr Didcott one afternoon and giving him details of the timer unit concerned, he was able to come out to me fairly early the next morning with the necessary part and within an hour the job was done.  Prompt, efficient and tidied up afterwards.

Very pleased with the work carried out.  Barry was very reliable and responded to my request for an estimate very quickly.  The outside light he fitted was of excellent quality and just what I wanted.  I would certainly use Barry again for any future electrical work.

Barry has recently helped with few issues in our rental properties. 

He is always efficient and quick to respond, great with organising access via our agent which is not always easy with tenants, completes jobs on time. 

We trust his abilities and expertise in providing this service.
