Ideal Electrical Solutions came when my boiler pretty much 'blew up' and the emergency heating engineer advised I needed an electrician. IES were recommended and, when I explained the circumstance - that the thermostat had overheated and blown to the point of smoking, they came in less than two hours and checked/replaced the related sockets and wiring, making it safe for the heating engineer to replace the thermostat.
They were extremely helpful and efficient and spoke directly to the heating engineer about the work required. The electrician explained the difference in the wiring/socket he had used so I had no concerns at all and there was no mess left after the work was finished
The charge was very reasonable and I would have no hesitation in using IES again or recommending them to anyone else. They gave me complete peace of mind that things were done correctly and I wouldn't have an 'exploding' boiler again.

Whilst the work we required to be done was fairly straightforward, I’d have no issues recommending Ideal Electrical to others or using them again. Office staff were pleasant to talk to and offered reassurance, and the electrician who came out to us was friendly and professional.

I used this company to fit a new fuse-box in my flat and they were very professional and did a good job at a reasonable price. Will be using their services again and happy to recommend them.

Replaced consumer unit in a rental property and upgraded lighting and fire alarms. Efficient and at a price more than 10% lower than my letting agent's tame contractor proposed. Would use again.

The power switch for our electric shower had burnt out and we were without a shower. The electrician came out at 7am as requested. He was bang on time and carried out the work quickly and efficiently. I am really pleased with the service we received.

Landlord electrical safety check. The check was carried out and the onlt issue identified was a couple of gromets and blank covers missing from the consumer unit. they proposed to charge me £40 to rectify this. They also priced the fitting of smoke alarms which i didn't ask for as this was already arranged to be completed.
I contacted the company about the charge and thery said if they didn't rectify the fault the report would be a fail and if i fixed the issue myself they would retest and charge me for this at the full price again.
The parts required to rectify the issue cost less than a pound and only required to be pushed in place nothing technical.
I fitted these items myself and the property is now safe and complies.
Disappointed the company could't do a quick retest ie look at the inserted blanks without charging.
I now use a electrician who has a bit common sense and realises the importance of customer satisfaction which in turn leads to customer loyalty.

I own a property in Edinburgh but live in England. I have used IES several times in the past 6 years for all our electrical installations and maintenance. I have found them reliable, helpful and reasonably priced. They have carried out a good standard of work and I will use them again when I need to’ 5*

We needed some electrical work done for the new kitchen. The guys came on time and managed a very tricky job with some ceiling lights. I've used Ideal for all my electrical work and I thoroughly recommend them.

'Thank you for your review.
We have our engineers booked out and their days are full, we have to quote for all remedial works as this is our company process so we do not let clients down on the day as the guys would not get round all there jobs if they went to collect material on all jobs.
The quote of £40 was for material, the cost of our engineers wage, parking, fuel and to re issue you with a fresh minor works report which is included.
We quoted you for alarms as you let us know this is a rental property and you require this as part as legislation.
We hope to work with you in the future'.
