We had the guys from Elec Cert carry out our domestic work, from start to finish they consulted us on every decision and ensured everywhere was clean and tidy afterwards.

Report
We have had multiple jobs, done by the guys at Elec Cert, in the offices where I work, most arranged by myself and I cannot praise them enough! Always quick and efficient, keep me updated throughout and just a lovely bunch of hardworking people. Cory and Gary have been to the offices and both very professional, friendly guys. I would definitely recommend Elec Cert for any works you may need!
