"My electrics are vintage 1960's! They have been chopped and changed and added too many times since. Not hard to imagine what Matt was confronted with when he arrived. Much to my relief and within a surprisingly short time he had a plan which after a lot of work all completed within a day, the previous mess had turned into one neat box of switches all ready and tested. All has worked well since then."

"Dear Mr Payne, Thank you for sending me your invoice and the electrical certificate for the installation of wiring to my garage. As you will remember I was very apprehensive about digging a a pathway through the garden for the armoured cable. However, you accomplished that with negligible damage to the plants. I am very well satisfied with the new facility in the garage [armoured cable feeding a garage unit for sockets and lights] and with the other items of work you carried out. If other electrical work is needed here I will have no hesitation in asking again for your assistance; and certainly I would recommend you to any of my acquaintance in need of such work. Yours sincerely, Edward Elliot"

Just a quick thanks ref the works so far carried out. Your two guys have been efficient, courteous, basically overall superb! Simon from World of Furniture, Salisbury

"We wanted to renew our kitchen and whilst my husband is a very good DIYer, with all the rules and regulations regarding electrics, he knew his limitations. So, despite names of electricians given by friends, we wanted to ensure that the person we chose was properly qualified to do the work within our home. We searched around and found Matt. What a find! We wanted to rearrange the wall sockets and have new one put in and sort out the main earth bonding. Not only was Matt able to give us the necessary quote at a fair price but he also gave us his valued advice and guidance and always allowed us to make the final decisions. This proved it's worth - we found that the previous 'qualified' electrician had wired the cooker direct to the socket at a diagonal angle - even my husband knew that was wrong and dangerous! It didn't matter what we asked Matt to do; he was there to offer his assistance. He was always prepared to go the extra mile and it was a pleasure doing business with him. He has since done a lot more work for us including fitting a new consumer unit, converting single sockets to doubles, installing electric heaters, installing outside lights and running armoured cable outside for a new circuit. Would we recommend him? Only if it didn't interfere with any work we wanted doing!" A word from the husband: "I agree with everything my 'manager' has said!"

At last, so pleased to track down a reliable and very efficient electrician. Matt Payne provided an excellent service and the work carried out by his team was to a very high standard. We would definitely use their services again and would highly recommend to friends and business colleagues. Mark Appleby Labelcraft UK Ltd Salisbury
