Contacted TFS on Monday and Jack was on the doorstep 8.30am sharp on Tuesday morning he did the job there and then and the price was spot on ! Will definitely use again

Maidstone electrician Very efficient and quick completing light switch fitting Very happy customer - nice guy also, thanks again!

Solved my emergency electrical problems very quickly and extremely effectively. So very, very helpful, polite and efficient. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. I will certainly use them again.

First off I'm going to say that there is no replacement for knowledge, expertise, and excellent customer service from a trades person. In this case an electrician. Starting from the beginning I ordered an induction hob to replace gas as part of a household move to completely eliminate gas from the property. On delivery and installation date the electrician stated that the current power source to my gas was only 13amps and the induction hob I had required a 32 amp supply. They then went on to state that I needed to get a qualified electrician to undertake the work and needed checking run from my main fusebox. Disheartened by this and thinking this is not what I need and why didn't my new build property have a sufficient electrical supply in the first place, I decided to go onto Google and check a trade to find a suitably qualified electrician. I managed to book two for the same day. The first electrician came made his assessment and stated ask the work that would need to be undertaken to install and run new cabling from the fuse box, the fact that it would cause damage to the property which is need to get repaired (additional costs as he wouldn't be able to do that work), then have a rough quotation on how much all that would be. All very disheartening and me thinking this whole getting rid of gas is proving much more of a problem than it's worth. At this point I would like to point out to those who request work to be completed for their property, or any other task skills so their due diligence, and always get at least 3 quotes or opinions. So disheartened alongside my wife who was like let's forget about it, I had Chris from TFS come round and my an I glad I did. He had a look at our fuse box and the kitchen and then started giving us good news and options around the fact that we didn't need to run a cable from the fuse box as previously mentioned by two other electricians. Long story short three option we went with was driving I over the cabling from the oven (32amp) supply with the current power supply going to the gas hob (13amp). This was agreed after Chris and I reviewed the power requirements for the oven being just under 13amps. Chris also gave us some general electrical advice which was invaluable. Fast forward a few weeks, the work is completed (with no cosmetic damage or anything requiring repairing), Dean (electrician for the job) installed the new induction hob (which was originally ordered) which is a joy to cook on, and there have been no performance issues with the oven. There was one issue on the day Dean needed to resolve and that was despite the storage for the hob being a 60cm space and the new hob being a 60cm hob, the depth was everywhere so slightly to long which was a challenge to overcome to install safely and without causing any damage. The only thing we haven't tested is the pyrotechnic clean, but with the power rating don't anticipate that being a problem. So massive 5 stars to Chris and Dean at TFS will definitely use in the future if I have any electrical needs.

Electrician was very responsive, got us booked quickly and promptly troubleshooted and resolved the issue we had with light fittings. Both him and the apprentice were polite and professional, would gladly use their services again.
