David came into my home to do a minor electrical repair and whilst there he gave me a price for my outdated fuse box. He was very quick to respond to my original phonecall and very easy to deal with.
He has just completed my fuse box swap over at a very affordable price for me. He is a lovely, friendly man who I will definitely use for all my electrical needs going forward. I will also recommend him to all my friends too. A++++++

Plug socket replaced and 3 lights fitted. One of the lights was extremely awkward to fit due to the placement of the supporting screws.
Dave overcame the problem by perseverance and the result was very pleasing.

David removed the old consumer box and fitted a new one and tested the system his work was to a very high standard.
Any electrical work I need done in the future will be with Appleby Electrics, apart from the excellent work David had done he arrived at the time that was agreed and cleaned up at the end of the job the cost for the job was very reasonable. Anybody needing electrical work done should get Appleby Electrics.

Needed a new bathroom extractor fan supplied and fitted, plus the replacement of the living room ceiling light which was well past its sell by date.
Found Appleby Electrics was near to me in Leven. My enquiry was answered very quickly and a time agreed to visit. Dave turned on time as agreed and quickly replaced my ceiling light. The extractor fan was more of a job, however it was done quickly and without fuss.
Dave was a lovely person and nice to chat too, yet got the jobs done quickly and for a reasonable price.
Highly recommended.

Dave changed the consumer unit and also brought the flat up-to-date for the latest legislation for holiday lets in Fife. Although there was only a small window to get everything done, he fitted us in promptly and also he was aware that there were guests in the property. He gave us a choice of times, which would suit the guests. He arrived and completed all the work. He also gave us loads of advice.
He has such a pleasant, understanding manner, and was polite to ourselves and the guests, so much so, he is our go-to electrician from now on. HIs professionalism, care and quality of work was excellent..

Replaced faulty light switch and fitted new Led compliant light for wet room.
Excellent job, friendly and knowledgeable, gave advice for future and completed tasks without any fuss. The light transforms the bathroom and is now safe and appropriate for its environment.
Will definitely use this trader again for future work as I am delighted with his work and the cost incurred.

Needed paperwork to show electrical work done on a new extension was compliant and safe (after electrician who had done the work disappeared with payment but without certifying his work!). Dave arrived when he said he would, told me what he was about to do, told me what needed to be fixed (and the cost) and did it! No fuss, clear explanations and honest/polite with it. Bonus was it didn't cost what I had thought it was likely to! Genuine guy who I would recommend to anyone needing an electrician, and will be my first port of call for anything electrical in the future.

I used the Trusted Trader website to try to find a good and reliable electrician at short notice. Dave was extremely helpful from the off and was able to attend almost immediately, which was very much appreciated. The job was top notch and Dave also offered me extensive guidance over a number of other matters that were of concern to me. Very friendly guy and very willing to help. I plan to use Dave in the future as it is always difficult to find trades people who offer the good service that he did.

Very pleased with the service provided by David and would certainly use him again. He responded very quickly to my request to replace a failing fluorescent tube in a bathroom light and was willing to try several suppliers to source a replacement. Decided to go with an LED alternative which he was able to fit immediately. Work was completed quickly and tidily. Very reasonably priced.

Even after we had problems with the faulty replacement switch, he came out at no extra cost straight away to get it returned and replaced.

Phoned in the morning about a faulty oven. Dave came in the afternoon and after inspection said it required a new element. Ordered the same day and said he would fix the issue next day. Unfortunately van broke down but he texted back saying he would come 2 days later which he did. He installed the part and oven is in full working order. Overall cost was cheap and I would not hesitate to get this company again for any future work. Highly recommended. A+++++

He worked as part of a team installing my kitchen. Rerouting sockets, installing new overhead lighting and once all the plastering and tiling was completed he came back to check all the sockets and installed the under cabinet lighting. Cleaned up after himself and left the kitchen tidy.

I found Dave to be very knowledgeable and professional, but also friendly. He arrived when he said he would, and carried out the required works with no issues.
He disconnected fittings to allow joinerwork to be carried out, then returned to change a single ceiling light into 4 downlighters for me. He even left a diagram for the joiner who was installing cladding to the ceiling.
I was more than happy with the service and the works carried out and will be using Appleby Electrics again to carry out further works.

Job completed quickly and to a high standard leaving the garden in same condition as prior to the work, reinstating the area of slabs and grass and clearing up area after drilling through house wall.
Overall excellent job at a reasonable price and I wouldn't hesitate to use Dave for any future electrical work.

I called Dave out to my elderly mother’s house when her built-in microwave went “Bang”! He responded very quickly, declaring it beyond repair. He then undertook to research suitable replacements; ordered and took delivery of our choice so that Mum wouldn’t have to bother with taking delivery & storing the new microwave herself; installed it at a time of our choice, only billing us for everything once the job was done. He also said not to hesitate to call him out if we had any worries at all and he would pop round. I found this very reassuring as I live at some distance, Mum lives alone and Dave is close by.
We took him up on his word soon after to check Mum’s smoke alarms. He responded quickly, sourcing and installing a new heat alarm in the kitchen. Great service and I now have peace of mind, knowing I can call on someone close by to deal with any electrical concerns. Thank you, Dave.

When I had a cooker failure I contacted David of Appleby Electronics who agreed it was enough of an emergency to come out on a Saturday afternoon. He sorted the problem and cleaned up after which was a bonus as some don't. While he was there I explained about a problem with my rather old outside lights. He sourced replacements and came back a few days later to fit the new ones. All together a great service and his prices were very reasonable. I am happy to recommend him and his services

As well as completing the job that was asked of him he also tested the house electrics whilst being here. David was very efficient, electrical headed, friendly and very supportive. Would definitely recommend to anyway and will definitely use Appleby electrics again.
