Heater failed just as the cold weather set in! Prompt response and quote which I was happy to accept. Alan the electrician was pleasant and efficient, fitting the heater and clearing up once finished. He helped me with the initial settings which got the heat going quickly. Very pleased with the job. Will use you again when I have electrical work needing done.

We were delighted with the work carried out to upgrade our kitchen lighting especially as the work presented a bit of a challenge. We're really pleased with the result and the kitchen is a much brighter space now. We'd definitely use Ritchie & Goodwin again and would recommend.

2 single sockets made into doubles and light fittings fixed. Not a big job for an electrician but important for me. Really good service - arrived on time, friendly and completed the work without any problems. I would certainly use this company again and would recommend them to family and friends.

Very positive experience of having lighting installed by Ritchie & Goodwin. Having contacted them a Director came out within a day or so to see what work needed to be done, provided a very reasonable quote and arranged an early slot for the work to be done. The electrician who did the job arrived on time, was very friendly, helpful and efficient and completed the work without the slightest fuss or bother. I’d recommend Ritchie & Goodwin without hesitation and will be using them again whenever I need any electrical work done.

Review Comments
I have used Richie Goodwin on 6 separate occasions since moving into a Park Home that required quite a bit of work undertaking a year ago. This ranged from new plug sockets, to installing new lights, checking all the electrics so a 10 Year Safety Certificate could be issued, to installing new armoured cabling to an outside supply box through to my own RCD box. All of the work has been carried out by Alan to an extremely high standard and he has, on occasion, even supported me when speaking to my Site Manager about a piece of work that I could not have explained as he did. He is a top professional and I have also received excellent service and support from Lynn on the 'Admin side', not least of which was showing a kind understanding of my situation with regard to the present job. All in all, I feel very lucky to have found a Company that I feel comfortable using again and again knowing I will receive a polite, friendly response, a job that will get done as quickly as possible and for it to be done for a reasonable price to a very high standard. I truly cannot praise them enough and anybody that needs an electrician with these values should look no further.

Fitted additional sockets in every room, installed new lighting in bathroom and kitchen, installed new smoke detectors and C02 sensors throughout to be compliant with new legislation.
Alan did an absolutely superb job.. He was efficient, speedy, very pleasant, extremely tidy and provided practical solutions with minimum disruption to ensure we ended up with what we wanted. I would definitely use them again. Highly recommended.

Work to fuse board and pendant light. Richie & Goodwin helped me out at very short notice when I had a problem with a fuse board which blew all my lights. I found them to be very helpful and
pleasant to deal with and have full confidence in their work.
Had used them in the past to hang a very heavy chandelier and some other minor electrical works and was impressed with their attitude and attention to detail back then. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a electrician.

We were very happy with the standard of work provided by Alan at Ritchie & Goodwin; he took special care to verify the quotation with us, and to ensure that what we were having done was suitable for our requirements. He then kept us informed and up-to-date as work progressed, and was very considerate with regards to planning the more obtrusive work outwith our business hours.
We would happily use Ritchie & Goodwin again, and indeed have already asked them to quote for additional work.

Ritchie & Goodwin are an established Electrical Contractor in Edinburgh, who I first came across 25 years ago whilst working in my previous role.
They were a solid, trustworthy company then and this remains true today.
The partners have been with the company for a good number of years and they are reliable, good people.
I would certainly recommend using Ritchie & Goodwin to others.

Having known Ritchie & Goodwin for a good number of years, I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. They have tremendous knowledge over the three directors and all are always approachable whether it be a new project or, an existing project, they will always assist no matter what. It is always a good sign that they have the same core employees that you get to know.

From initial contact through to the job and the aftercare - R & G are first class. Their attention to detail is superb, the quality of work is excellent and they explain what they're doing in such a way that someone without any electrical knowledge understands what needs doing, why it needs doing and how it will be done.

I am a semi-retired Registered Architect ARB). I now operate in the field of domestic rentals and house/flat conversion works only. I have used Ritchie & Goodwin Ltd for over 10 years on several jobs from the partial rewire (e.g. complete kitchen and shower-room refit) in an Edinburgh Georgian New Town flat and a full kitchen re-fit in a 30 year-old flat in the West End; also for mandatory Electrical Inspection Condition Reports (EICRs) as required plus other miscellaneous works including installation of hard-wired smoke alarms to mandatory standards.
My rating is based on these experiences.
